I totally agree, Garcia has all the advantage but who knows, maybe Tagoe will be on his best against Ryan and maybe put everything he have in this fight.
That's a huge upset if Tagoe would beat Garcia, and since Garcia has some kind of mental problem, a possible loss might make his problem gets bigger and could end his career. Sorry, my imagination is very negative, but I'm just thinking of a possible scenario here.

1963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: March 22, 2022, 07:06:06 PM
^^ But GGG should win against Murata to keep the hype alive on the possibility of a trilogy. If he lost this fight then perhaps fans will likely say that this is going to be a mismatch in favor of Canelo because GGG is old as Murata beat him. So it's better for both of them to win against their opponent, setup one of the biggest fight this year in September.

That's what the fans wanted to see, just before he finally conclude his career in boxing, he just need to fight Canelo and get down in the boxing industry with pride no matter what the result might be. If he somehow wins that fight, then that would be an excellent way to wrap up his career and he would not be forgotten in the world of boxing. He just needs to finish Murata as easily as possible so that they will gonna have a high chance to fight again.

Right, for me GGG has cemented his legacy already at 160 lbs. Although there is just one blemishes and that is Canelo. The first 2 fight was really very close that it can go either way.

But if they will set up a 3rd fight and if ever GGG will win that fight then maybe their could be arguments for him to be the best middleweight of this era. So let him do his job against Murata first and not snubbed him before he can seek Alvarez.

There's just one way to find out about it and definitely the trilogy will give a clear answer on which of them really deserved the win, and the rumors and critics will shut up for good after then. Yes, I agree with you. We should let GGG process and focus in his fight against Murata first before giving some speculation with him and Canelo.
1964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: March 22, 2022, 06:00:45 PM
Tyson was good player on this two players.Tyson move was always unique compared to Logan Paul.I had read the thread carefully.Nearly 7/8 was supported Tyson.Tyson match to strong arm hand was always unique one.The game with the less power person will be short run game.Paul game was good with the arm power equal to him and not to the player like Tyson.

We can already expect that almost all people who knew Mike Tyson will side on him, besides he's the legendary Iron Mike and against the amateur boxer named Logan Paul will really be a chicken and easy fight against the legendary. I mean look at the man now, even he's quite older than Logan we can still say that he will win on this one.

Guys, this fight isn't going to happen, so we'll never know who's stronger. So there's no point in guessing. In any case, more people will vote for Mike Tyson as his fans are in every corner of the globe and his sporting career will be set as an example for many years to come in boxing schools.

I beg to disagree, Mike Tyson has been favored by a lot of people not just because they are his fans but they also literally know that Logan Paul can't possibly defeat the living legend here and yes there is exactly no point in guessing because we can literally tell who's side will win and that would be Mike Tyson.

But yeah, sadly this fight is just a hype.

Either way as of now, the fight will happen on its scheduled date but the details is not yet fixed if this fight will be sanctioned or not.
Both camps should know the decision if this will be sanctioned or not because their preparation will only be wasted, and it's just wasting money. When they are in training, they give their effort to train hard, and not only that, they also spend money to pay for the venue and the people who work for the respective fighters.

Both camps now are so silent and quite like they are not that worried about the sanctioning of this fight and my personal opinions are that they already know that the fight will proceed as planned date but it's just maybe they are advised to stay silent for now by the bodies because the issues are still hot. They are just finding that right time when to say it because none of them can afford to cancel the fight now.

I like the Wolves getting 2 points on the road tonight against the mavs.  And gimme Cleveland at home -5 against the Lakers.  Pretty much taking whoever is playing the Lakers for the rest of the year.  Think their fight is done.

I couldn't agree more on the Lakers, I guess as much, they are done! They're already getting domnated by the Cavs early into the but I missed betting on that.

I'll be taking the Chicago Bulls -3.5 at against Toronto Raptors.


The Lakers have managed to steal the win from the Cavs in the late game despite getting buried huge gap in the 1st half (131-120), but I haven't bet on this game because both teams are still inconsistent especially the Lakers. I guess their rotation now are working as they're also using that way back 2020 when they've won the championship. I just thought this time they'd give Howard more minutes that he deserved.
1967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 22, 2022, 12:52:57 PM
They know what to do already, it's so stupid if they will do the same mistake twice and just let the belt be taken by Butler. I think Casimero will work harder here, he wants to have a big fight, he should take this fight seriously and deliver a big win.
I think we can all understand that people can get sick all of a sudden and this is why the fight got delayed, however while this happening once can be attributed to chance if it happened a second time then it would be impossible to not think that there was some negligence on Casimero's camp or we could even speculate that there was something else going on and someone was trying to boycott the fight, so lets us hope this does not happen again and we can finally see Casimero fighting against Butler.
I agree – the uncertainty is biggest odd in sports. It can kill the moral and can put the player in difficult situation. Mental health is a real challenge even once admits it or not. I believe Casimero and Butler are great players and what the fans want is some amazing entertainment when there is so much odd news coming from around the world . Let’s hope that this fight finally happens.
There's a possibility that this covid situation would down to endemic.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/18/heres-how-covid-19-transitions-from-a-pandemic-to-endemic.html
Also, we have that reason of delay on this fight which it isnt attached to covid but rather on health issue thats why better to hope for all possible things to be avoided so that we wont really be having any other delay.

Yes, there's a possibility about that but let's just hope for the bright side that Covid will be shut down for good this year if they can.

Health issues and injuries are the #1 enemy not just in boxers but for most athletes in different sports as well and sometimes it's inevitable. But usually these injuries and health issues are just labeled as minor problems because their body are built different and often times these issues won't be long. Let's just hope that there won't be any major issues so that they can fight on the said schedule.
1968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: March 21, 2022, 05:33:01 PM
People keep talking about how Mike is 55 years old but lets not forget that his pretty much decent shape.  He is still capable to rip your soul out Grin The fact that Logan thinks that he can defeat Tyson shows how much this guy is delusional. Mike tyson will definitely break his jaws in one punch.  Grin This is the equivalent of mouse thinking that he will win against the lion.


I couldn't agree more, Iron Mike is still a living legend and even at his age now we can still see that he's still capable on demolishing his opponents if he chose to especially if his opponents are the likes of Logan Paul.

But on Logan Paul's side, I think we already know what he thinks and what is he chasing. Truth is that Logan Paul is only fighting Iron Mike for the sake of money just like what he did when he fought with Mayweather and it's not that because he seriously thinks that he can defeat Mike, because that would be impossible to happen. Speaking of money, Logan will surely get paid and earn huge amount of money than he could have in vlogging and do podcasting, that is if this fight will happen.
1969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 21, 2022, 04:47:02 PM

Unfortunately I couldn't bet on that game and I had in mind that the Celtics would win this game.

The Boston team showed that they are still a dangerous team, even playing away from home, and also from their roster being young.
Let's see if the Celtics can maintain this performance in the future.


Yes Very dangerous indeed, I am looking at the players of the Boston Celtics right now Especially Jaylen Green, and Jayson Tatum they are exploding against the Nuggets when seeing both team injuries I think the Boston Celtics are almost in their 100% form so they surely have a huge advantage other the Nuggets,

And here is tomorrow's game picks highlighted in green are my picks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game is 1.41 for the Cavaliers while 3.00 for the Lakers, Jarrett Allen, Rajon Rondo, and Dean Wade can not play for the Cavaliers, While Anthony Davis, Kendrick Nunn, can not play for the Lakers while Wayne Ellington, Talen Horton-Tucker, Wenyen Gabriel and LeBron James is questionable if they can play, it seems Lebron James has thrown the towel, talking that they will not reach greater heights this season, and because of that I will try my luck on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Brooklyn Nets VS Utah Jazz

The Stake odds for this game is 2.00 for the Nets while 1.85 for the Jazz pretty much the odds are in the middle and it indicates that the game was only half of an hour, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, and LaMarcus Aldridge can not play for the Nets, while Mike Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic, Danuel House Jr., Trent Forrest, and Udoka Azubuike is questionable if they can play but I think they can surely play and because of that I will go with the favorite and that is Brooklyn Nets but for me, I will try my luck with the Utah Jazz

Dallas Mavericks VS Minnesota Timberwoles

The stake odds are 1.68 for the Mavericks and 2.25 for the Timberwolves Tim Hardaway Jr., and Theo Pinson can not play for the Mavericks, while Udoka Azubuike, Trent Forrest, Danuel House Jr., Bojan Bogdanovic, and Mike Conley can not play for the Jazz, In my opinion, I will surely think that Timberwolves is keeping up fast and getting scores that can surely help the team and I think Ja Morant is getting used to the popularity and attention game to him, so I will go with the Timberwolves.

Sorry, I will go against the Nets this time. Jazz +1 has been in good synch and dominating the league for quite a while now that is why they're on a winning streak now and the Nets will surely struggle on home without Irving but this game will be a tough one.

But I will follow your 3rd pick though, Timberwolves +3 vs Mavericks and I'll add Hornets -5.5
1970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 21, 2022, 03:36:39 PM
... for the time being he should really watch his diet so that his viral gastritis won't become an obstacle in his career.

In the latest interview of Casimero, it was said that he is already 80% prepared so far, therefore I expect that he has no health problem anymore and all he is doing now is just training hard to maintain his good stamina and improve his skills as a boxer.

That's good! 80% is already a lot specially in his body condition right now and about his health, I also don't think that there's something that we should worry about because his team have already covered that area well enough and must not forget that he have the best conditioning coach.

Few days ago, I saw a video about Casimero doing some trainings and seems that he's already fit enough and there's really no sign that he isn't already well prepared. Here's the vid, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6-HKZmwYag
1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: March 21, 2022, 02:28:58 PM
Yup, I think it doesn't mean a thing, it happen years ago so obviously there's a lot going after that fateful day. Murata become a champion, GGG remain on top of the 160 lbs division.

What's important is the fight at hand right now, GGG can't base any on those sparring, but the experience might be there and Murata will proved that he has better himself after that.

Yeah, that sparring session is history now on the two of them but the experience could help them on how to prepare for this upcoming fight as they now have a glimpse of each one of them on how they move because even though they have videos on their respective fight, an actual sparring/fight is different.

One thing I don't like with the proposed GGG vs Canelo trilogy is that they are overlooking things. Canelo and GGG both have dangerous fights ahead and either one of them could lose and might derail/cancel the trilogy which for me is a likely possibility.

That's right! Spar is really different from just watching your opponent in his recent fights and that particular short sparring could help the both of them about this upcoming fight, each one of them already have the idea on how to counter its punches because they already have a history first-hand and not by just watching some videos.

Is GGG involved in that deal? From what I have understand so far about that specific deal is that only Canelo is needed and obligated to win his upcoming fight, GGG on the other hand haven't had that contract written that he also should win against Murata for him to participate the said trilogy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
1972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 21, 2022, 10:29:46 AM
I am not sure if this fight will happen. Although boxing fans are looking ahead for this fight but Bivol is Russian. And there are many chances that like many other sports this match will be cancelled as well. But let's hope for the best. In today's time safety of everyone is important than entertainment.

This fight will go on as plan because of the amount of money involved here. The only thing that some of the people have concern about is the sanctioning of this fight because of Bivol being a Russian. Some don't want this to be a title fight, some want to cancel but the promoters is keen on proceeding whether there is a belt or none as long as Canelo can fulfill what is written on the contract.

More or less, the promoters have a roughly 7 weeks to somehow arrange the fight to its final setting either if it's sanctioned or not, and if there will be a belt at stake because that is one of the main reasons too why Canelo have moved again in this division where Bivol is the champion. Either way as of now, the fight will happen on its scheduled date but the details is not yet fixed if this fight will be sanctioned or not.
1973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 21, 2022, 09:40:35 AM


But like I said, there's a requirement. First, Casimero needs to win and Inoue should also do the same for the possible rematch against Nonito Donaire. It's already in the news that Donaire and Inoue will likely have a rematch this year although no official date has yet been released.

If Donaire will able to upset Inoue, then again, a rematch first is likely to happen and Casimero's name won't be included in the story.

But before thinking that, Casimer needs to be healthy first. He is the reason why the fight against Paul Butler was delayed. He should keep himself healthy and silent his mouth for the meantime.

He needs to stay healthy and make this fight to happen first. Accomplishing this mandatory fight against Butler is a must.

We can discuss his next journey after this fight, and like you mentioned, a possible rematch against Donaire and Inoue will take place

first before they will talk about Casimero, He's not the priority. Promoters are more on the money side and bringing Inoue and Donaire

inside the ring may attract more viewers and gamblers around.

Right, Casimero shouldn't worry about his next opponent yet because he still have a present opponent to overcome and that is Butler. Let's also hope that he will remain healthy throughout the time until that day comes and until he will have that chance to fight against Inoue, for the time being he should really watch his diet so that his viral gastritis won't become an obstacle in his career.

The first game of the semis between Bolts and Magnolia will be on Wednesday, IMO this is a good match-up so if anyone is interested in betting peer to peer I will be glad to accommodate, just reply to this post.

I'm for the Magnolia Hotshots. If you want to bet for the Bolts to win this series, please reply to this post.
What’s the odds for this? I’m also rooting for Magnolia but I can bet with Bolts since the games are more unpredictable now and both teams are really did well in the last eliminations. Bolts are more eager to win most probably while Magnolia still want to remain on top and go to the finals, such a head to head match up.

Probably there's a handicap, like Meralco is +1 in the series or you'll win 600 pesos for 1000 bet if you go for Magnolia. hehe.
That's what I'm thinking because I think that no one would put their money on Meralco at this time for 1:1 betting.

How about Ginebra vs NLEX, anyone also interested in that series?
1975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 20, 2022, 09:12:54 PM
After winning their game today, the Minnesota Timberwolves still holding their chance to get out from the play-in tournament curse and get to the number 6 or number 5 if Mavericks and Nuggets continue losing their games in the coming days. We are less than a month before the play-in start and after that, it will be the playoffs tournament where the games are super intense. On that day, we will see them play like there is no tomorrow, and if a struggling team won't fix the way they play before that, they're doomed to be eliminated in the first round of the tournament.
All of the sudden the Minnesota Timberwolves started to be more competitive by winning games.
As we can see in the standing - https://www.espn.com/nba/standings.. they are very close with the Denver, Dallas, and Utah, and I'm very impressed because they only lose 1 game in their last 10 games.
I'm impressed, that's because Towns get back in the lineup and they start winning again. They had a pretty bad start but people have already forgotten that because they keep winning again. That 9-1 in the last 10 games is something they cannot achieve in the past, they really improve this season, probably because some teams are struggling, like the Lakers and Clippers.
The is not dependent to the struggling team, they really improve this season, that's it, "no buts".
I have a feeling that they will make it to the playoffs and the Lakers might not qualify, that is only based on the consistency they are showing recently, which obviously we are seeing how inconsistent the Lakers are.

Just as I thought it was all a trap. My chills are correct but I didn't listen to it.  Grin
Questions suddenly pop out how our bookies knew who is in and out as early as possible. I don't see anything in social media and even in basketball analysts' pages about Giannis resting and other stuff.
Losing streak. This is bad. Hopefully, most of us can get back on track in the next game. This will be the time they will rest their stars unpredictably so gotta be careful.

For sure you can get back on track mate.

As for the sports bookies knowing ahead of time who will be in or out as early, I also have the feeling that they've known it before hand specially bookies in Las Vegas. And for sure crypto bookies rely on them for odds making. Maybe it's time to best bet on live and see how is going to play or not.

Sometimes you have to be clever, betting in game time is very effective to ensure that you know all the players that will play and who are out in the game especially the superstars because they have a big impact on the outcome of the game. On the other hand, if the opposing team you are betting would also announce that their star player will not play, then that would give you the advantage.

No doubt that if the fight will happen between Inoue and Casimero, it would be in the 4th Quarter of this year.

But before that, Casimero should win first against Paul Butler. The result of Inoue vs Donaire also might change Casimero's next match if ever he won because the scenario will be, if Donaire will able to upset Inoue, there will be a sure rematch and that will be prioritized first compare facing Casimero.

Casimero has to wait until next year if Donaire will win. If not, then we can now expect that he will face Inoue later this year.


Well to be honest a fight scheduled on 4th quarter is quite an anticipating fight that of course the promoter should place a boxer or fighter that really has a famous name to you know be the highlight of the years end fight. And I believe scheduling Casimero vs. Inoue at that fight schedule will be a great schedule choice because boxing fans are really exciting for the face off of these two fighters. I can't wait to see these two inside the ring and let's witness who is the great fighter among them.
no doubt that Casimero had already gained His name and Popularity in his division , and of course Inoue as Japan's Monster fighter has His own name much popular that Casimero.

so if they will be in the top list then i believe that Boxing fan like me will put budget and time for this to be watched and of course to Bet for.

but first He must defeat Butler and Inoue should win over Donaire .

Casimero beating Butler is easier than Inoue beating Donaire again, that's my prediction. However, if we want to see Inoue vs Casimero, Donaire has to lose the fight and retire, and then that will open up an opportunity for these two boxers (Inoue vs Casimero) to have a chance to be an undisputed champion.

I'm sure Inoue will not say no to that opportunity.
1980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in METAVERSE on: March 19, 2022, 09:07:14 PM
Metaverse can never be good for decentralization, everything about it will be regulated in a way people's data can be easily accessible to the government. If possible there would be gambling sites on Metaverse, all of them will have to comply to the rules of mandating their customers to verify before making use of their metaverse gambling service.

Prior to this metaverse stuff, we can now feel that centralization is now hitting up crypto-gambling sites today. There are now sites that involve KYC and big winnings are subject to identity verification before a user can claim which should not be a requirement since that's what crypto-gambling is all about anonymity.

Since crypto-gambling sites have no choice but to comply with it, in the first place, to make their business legit, they should follow the law, we also don't have a choice but to follow.

Regardless of there's a Metaverse touch on our gambling experience, that verification will still be the same.

I'm not sure.

I feel like on decentralized metaverses there is going to be a lot more operators willing to open up unregulated casinos, often because they can no longer be traced back to an actual name registering a license/domain.

That could be a benefit for people - that plus the trustlessness of having a non-custodial model of on-chain gaming. It's honestly not a bad idea if you think about it.

You can talking about unregulated casinos.... How can that be possible if the government wants to regulate everything? Let's be real, even crypto which is decentralized by nature is not even exempted, the government would always want to have a slice of the pie, and without regulation where would they put their control?
