Not the kind of Teo that we use to see, he was having fun. Is Taylor just too slow or Teo had really improved well?  Either way, its very stunning and boxing fans could by now will see Teo not just a kid who had some luck over Loma. Still Taylor fans couldn't believe it. It could just be because Taylor was too flushed to to get the weight at 140.

If Teo was much faster and relied to volume while Taylor seem to have gassed out, he could have KO Taylor to be more impressive.

I think that Taylor is not comfortable facing Lopez.  We can see how awkward he moves during the fight.  Aside from that, it looks like Taylor slows down compared to his previous fight.  He is just too slow to react and adjust.  I think Lopez had studied Taylor very well making Taylor looks like a sitting duck since Lopez know how Taylor will move and Lopez is able to stop Taylor of his body shots and hooks.

Both fighters are surely studying how their opponents move, but it's evident that Lopez was the better fighter in that match, deserving credit for the big win. Just imagine, the challenger won the fight via unanimous decision, indicating his dominant performance over the champion. It is often difficult to achieve such clear victories in fights that end with the judges' decisions.

Both surely do that, it's just the executions that matters, we seen that Lopez really outshine the current champ and impress
the judges to win the fight.

It's not an easy task but due to determination a fighter can really exceed from his capabilities, his performance shows that he is really
into a mission to win the fight and take the belt from Taylor, now he got 2 titles from two different fighters division an accomplishment that
a fighter always desires to achieved.

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

This depends mainly on the level of previous addiction. For someone who is heavily hooked, it would not be uncommon for them to end up gambling all their winnings and more. For a person like me, who uses gambling rationally, in a controlled way and with money to spare, if I win a good jackpot I'd better go on a trip and not bet again for a while, as I know the odds are against me.

With good control and limitations, you can achieve not to play for a while to enjoy the amount of your winnings, though it's already
depends on how much you earn.

If you win huge or something like winning the jackpot that can be life changing opportunity, with such controls, you will be able to stop and
find other alternative to kill your time or keep yourself busy with investing your money whatever form you choose to bring those earnings.

That or a salary increase. Only those two reasons why a player would decline the player option. He is valuable now. There are lesser point guards in the league who are healthy and he is one of the best choices of any team who doesn't have a playmaker because he can score on his own, handle the ball with care, and he can make a play too. It's hard to find guys who could do both.

Players who reject a huge offer likely believe that they can still make a lot of money compared to the offer on the table. VanVleet was the leader of the Raptors last season, and his stats were very consistent. He can certainly contribute that to other teams as well. He desires a max offer, and with the Raptors having a new coach, there's no assurance that the current system will continue to work in his favor.

With a new coach it's possible that there might be a major change and if he already declines playing back, there might be
an offer from the other team who can give him what he's aiming for.

I don't see any problem with him playing with a new team, he's just like Brunson who can contribute and will surely manage to adjust.

I'm curious if which team is or are now negotiating with Fred's camps, with the same level of contributions it can brings
good impact to whoever squads he choose to play with.

The age limit placed on people below 18 year to keep them away frim gambling have not been most effective as we have hard records of under age gambling in many place and this is a pointer that casino has indeed misolaced their primary responsibility which is to prevent that from happening and that is why there is need for KYC.
The underage of 18 years old is a part of the reasons why KYC is compulsory on most online casinos but not all online casinos requires KYC verification, there is freebitco and others like this platform that underage kids can gamble on. They can also passed the KYC if they can get a hold of their elder brothers ID or even their parents, unless the online casino has the latest KYC style that ask for your selfie live.


Unless the casino will do that for sure it serves the purpose of KYC, but like what you mentioned it can easily be hack by minors especially
those who knows how to play with the system.

They can easily submit other's ID's and pretend to be them and continue enjoying playing, with the knowledge that they can acquire online.

It's very possible that those young folks can work it out even there's already a KYC requirement.
725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: June 14, 2023, 10:48:17 AM

This fight doesn't pose a significant challenge for him; we shouldn't consider Santiago's age as a determining factor, as he is not a high-ranking boxer like Inoue, who truly dominates the sport. It is evident that, according to popular opinion, Donaire would effortlessly win this match. However, if our prediction proves incorrect, retirement should be the logical next step for Donaire.

He shouldn't be overly confident in this situation, considering his advancing age. It's evident that Alejandro Santiago is not a mere leftover in boxing, given his respectable ranking, which earned him the opportunity for a championship fight. Retirement may be the next step for Donaire if he fails, but let's not dwell on that just yet. His determination to fight and, importantly, to continue earning money is still evident.

It's not him who is overly confident; I think it's us. We fail to respect Santiago's ability to defeat Donaire. Well, it can be understood since fans tend to be emotional, one-sided, and prone to exaggerating the capabilities of their favorite fighter. Donaire may be getting older, but it doesn't mean he will be beaten by a boxer who isn't as skilled as Inoue. That's just my guess.

Correct and we can't remove that fact, fans expect him to perform the way he was been known to, and also being a bias, I love to see
Donaire wins the fight and earn the title back in his belt.

We will know what will happen as the upcoming fight is already scheduled in July 15 in Las Vegas, Nevada fans will see him back inside the ring.

Looking forward to seeing great actions, exchanges of punches between these two fighters.

For now Shiba is getting into the token meme which I think is still worth keeping because it is widely known and many people believe in that token.  I advise you to save your meme tokens as I'm sure Shiba will be back on the moon sometime in the future.

I agree that Shiba Inu is a popular memecoin right now and many people are investing in Shiba Inu, but I would not advise you to invest in Shiba Inu for the long term, because it is very risky if memecoin is no longer hype, therefore if the price of Shiba Inu has increased and you have made a profit, so you better sell it immediately, because if memecoin is not hype anymore, then of course the price of Shiba Inu will be difficult to increase.

Very risky and if you put your money inside this meme asset make sure that you are willing to let that amount go so you'll not
going to regret if things will not go according to how you project your potential profits.

The risk is high but if luck permits and Shiba moves like how Doge before, we really can't conclude especially if there are people
who continue to take the risk.

Just be precise with your willingness to wait either to profits or to lose everything.
727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 14, 2023, 07:54:58 AM

I just want to ask because I want to have a different topic here aside from the ones that you have right now. We know already that Lillard wants to be out of Trail Blazers already. Now there hasn't been any confirmation, but the team that might suit him the best is the Miami Heat. What do you think? Will Lillard really fit with the Heat, and if yes, who will be the ones that they're willing to give for him?
I have reservations about Lillard's suitability for the Miami Heat. His style of demanding the ball and taking many shots may not align with the Heat's system, where players work diligently and share the ball effectively. However, if he is willing to make adjustments, I believe he has the potential to fit in well. Moreover, Lillard is a remarkable individual, and if he can adapt to the team's system, there should be no problem integrating smoothly.
You can never tell until you see him play. I'm sure he isn't inconsistent like Westbrook, and just imagine if the Heat were to acquire Lillard and pair him with Butler. They would become more unpredictable, as both Butler and Lillard could carry the team. Additionally, Lillard would learn to play great defense, an aspect they didn't emphasize as much in Portland.

If he fits with the system maybe he can be a good addition to the team, but my personal take, Miami needs big role player
who can help Bam inside.

They are missing shots and they only got slim chance to grab the offensive rebounds, with big man inside the chance of getting another
chance will give them opportunity to reset the rotation.

But like what you said, we never know till we see them playing together. Let see if Heat will go and offer him something.
728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 14, 2023, 06:23:41 AM

And now that Casimero also campaigns at 122 lbs, we are still intrigue with this fight and that's why we are still calling for it. Nevertheless, it might be a difficult road for Casimero as he still needs to make a name for himself at super bantamweight. His fight here although he won, is against unknown fighters. So he needs to fight a rank boxer in order to be recognized again.

His time will eventually come if he does not quit. Knowing how good he is, as long as the opportunity knocks, he is willing to grab it. I believe he is still in his prime. At his current age, he can still become a champion again. Let's wait for the outcome of this fight and see the potential fights for Casimero in that division.
Casimero is a fairly well-known boxer and has won several titles in his class, even for the Batam WBO class he has his belt from 2019 to 2022.
He will be the favorite fighter in this fight.
I think he's not too old, so his stamina is still good enough to become a champion, his record is quite good where he got 33 wins 22 KO.

Well, let's see hopefully he can fight as we hope.
This is the fight between Fulton and Inoue, and if we see Casimero having a chance to fight in the future, we should expect that he will not be the favorite if he becomes the challenger to either Inoue or Fulton. However, as a bettor, I would be glad to bet on him because I believe he is very hungry for a win and to be recognized as one of the best boxers of his generation. It's more like his last chance to prove himself to the world, and I'm riding with that.

Me as well, I would be happy to bet for him knowing that he will do everything just to prove that he's the best fighter and it might be
the only chance that he got to reach that goal.

Though still far from as he need to keep winning to impress the organization and have that exposure to be the best challenger to whoever
win and give him that opportunity.
729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 13, 2023, 10:43:05 AM
Lost my bet today as -6.5 was not achieved. If only one more foul was made at the end of the 4th quarter. But, the Miami Heat knew they don't have any timeout remaining so they will have to let go. I should've stuck with the under 210.5 as I saw that kind of bet is more profitable than the others. Grin Regrets in the end.

Anyway, congratulations to all those who backed the Nuggets with the money line or caught one during the live betting. Because if you bet before the game the lowest spread is the same as my pick. -6.5. While Miami Heat is on a 10-point lead though is a good chance to make plus spreads or a higher amount of profits in the money line.

Our new NBA champion after 47 years is the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic has everything now. All he needs to do is break new records like more champions and maybe Russell Westbrook's number of triple-doubles. Because he ain't far from it. 105 for Jokic and 198 for Westbrook. Jokic has lots of years playing more basketball and I do believe he could break that.

Almost if a foul was been grant by the Heat but like what you said they knew that there's nothing left to them and they let
the game to go on.

Congrats to the new NBA champ, after 47 years finally they bring the title in Denver, a great finished as the fans witness their greatness.

In terms of Jokic numbers, yeah, I also believe that he can break more records if he stay healthy.

As a young person, I am overwhelmed by my curiosity in trading Bitcoin, but I'm not sure if it is appropriate for me to resign my white collar work and return to trading exclusively Bitcoin.

This was a conversation a buddy of mine and I had yesterday, and I felt compelled to bring it to this illustrious platform for the best types of advice and counsel.

Is it safe for a Bitcoin trader to quit their jobs and focus solely on Bitcoin trading if they can devote their time and attention to maximize the benefits in the Bitcoin world?
My answer to this one will be , you can do both. Do full time work as well as trade if you can manage your time and also you need to learn more about trading first so that it would be a good fundamental. I know many people who do both and when they finally know and their PNL are getting better they will decide to quit their jobs, maybe you can do that as well.

Yes, doing it both then decide if you feel very comfortable with the knowledge that you already earn during your trade sessions
will give you good opportunities.

It's more on how you understand the risk and the potential benefits. If you see that you are fit to this business, and you can grow your
initial investment, then go and take your shot in this business.

Your own assessment will give you the decision that you'll need to take.
731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 13, 2023, 10:00:01 AM
Nuggets ended the finals and Jokic won the NBA finals. What a journey for a piece of history in the making that has been made by this big guy who likes chicken nuggets that eventually became the face of the Nuggets franchise. LOL.
Those who have bet for the game 5 to end with Nuggets are surely enjoying but I've got a lot of friends dismay on this ending because many of them thought that Miami got this, still props to them.
I thought that the Heat can get this one as the game is really close in the first 2 quarters and I said that a low scoring game will benefit the Heat in the end. Unfortunately, the Nuggets can't be deny in their first championship.

I know, others might think of dynasty, but we will see if they can continue their magical run and for sure the team will be intact next year. So I guess we fans of NBA will have to wait for the next season. For sure there will be a lot of trades and changes again, not just for players, but coaches as well.

If there's no movement from the other teams which I doubt, but if there no movement for sure Nuggets will still a good competitor
for another ring.

With the solid connections within the inner cores of the team, it's a tough team to beat as they know what to do and the rotations will find itself.

I like how Gordon, Porter Jr, KCP and Brown contributes not only to their offense but also the defense..

733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $90,000 all in bet on: June 12, 2023, 07:41:42 PM
From our perspective it's big loss and you should have taken a break from gambling if you were able to turn $4k into such big amount instead of going all in on a single bet so better luck next time and feeling bad for your loss bjt can't do anything about it now.But there are some big gamblers taking risk and rewards are high for them so hope you have profits also in future bets.

The best way to think about it after missing that all-in bet, it's a good run before this bet converting $4k to $90k not sure what inside
OP's mind risking that huge amount of money.

It's a single all-in bet, very risky but if he able to grow his capital to that point, I'm assuming that he's really good just been carried away
maybe, that's why he risks it all.

Whatever the reason, it's a loss now and nothing can do aside from regretting the decision and then move forward to forget.
734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: June 12, 2023, 11:51:29 AM
Every single gambler knows that in the long run they are in red yet they keep playing in hopes that they will get that big of a win,it is that that keeps gamblers coming back even when they go bust in a big way by losing a lot of money otherwise they would stop gambling very quickly.No one can make 100 dollars every single day in a casino as this is plain impossible but everybody keeps coming back there to try their luck in a new day and this is what keeps casinos happy as they get money in every day because from 100% of gamblers playing there only 5-10% win something while 90% go bust most of the time.

The only chance someone can make 100 dollars daily is if they play skill games like texas holdem poker or sport betting where 50% of skill is still involved.

You are right, I would say that those who can win really well are even less, maybe it is 1-3%, and the minority is winnings in the casino, and a little more is gambling. Players return to recoup, or for adrenaline if it's just a game in order to distract from work or from the daily routine. I also believe that winning $100 a day is impossible, and if you believe in it, then just try playing for a few months and see for yourself the result.

See yourself and assess if you really got that chance to win in a daily process, I believe also that it can't be done everyday,
maybe you can 3-4 straight days but after that you'll lose it back.

Better to treat gambling as good place to kill some time, for entertainment and not for your daily source of income, in that view the
chance of enjoying would change the view of losing.

Gambling always accompany by risk, it's tough or maybe impossible to keep winning your bet.

736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 11, 2023, 09:00:11 PM

And it now happened, WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Marlon Tapales might now be the PH boxer who has the chance to face Naoya Inoue first, instead of the expectation of the majority, that it's Casimero who is currently still climbing the 122 division rankings. Of course, Tapales meeting Inoue soon will just happen if the latter will win against Fulton.

If Stephen Fulton wins against Naoya Inoue, Marlon Tapales instead will unify his belt against him. If Fulton still wins, Tapales might meet Inoue as both will be a contender but the status of Casimero when that time comes might still be hanging because he can't even secure a big fight "for now" to somehow give him a chance to climb at a much higher rank.

There's also a possibility that later in the 122 division, a PH vs PH might face each other.

Well then, too early for these speculations mine Smiley. What matter here is, Tapales is now almost secured to have the next big fight on his timeline.

What you're saying is not entirely impossible mate because as long as Casimero will stay active and have successive fights, soon enough, his ranking will surely increase and most probably will earn himself a big fight someday. Although there might be some changes when it comes to the possible opponent of Casimero, Inoue and Tapales because I think Fulton will shuffle all the cards in time when he leaves the division and vacates the belt he is possessing, if he won his future fight with Inoue.

If Fulton will win and Inoue will stay on this current division, the chance of seeing Casimero vs Inoue might take place,
it's possible since the belt will be vacant once Fulton move up.

Though if ever Inoue will win, then the chance to see Tapales to be his next target is possible by knowing Inoue, he wanted
to unify all belts.

Let see what would be the outcome first from this upcoming fight next month.
737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 11, 2023, 08:24:01 PM
If the Denver Nuggets will finish the series next game there will be no doubt they deserve the championship because they work hard to stay at the top in the season games and got the number 1 spot in the western conference until they made it to the finals. Also Jokic need to get that Championship to prove to everyone he didn't need to go to a superteam to get a championship like others.

No need for a superteam as he already has the supporting cast that he needs to win a title.

One more game and they will be crown as 2022-2023 NBA finals champion, it's a great success as if they will complete these series
this coming game 5, it will be the first title in history of Denver franchise, with Jokic and Murray together with everyone else, the fulfillment
is now happening, they missed it in the bubble but with Murray coming back healthy they will now achieve it, hopefully Heat will not
going to spoiled that. Roll Eyes
738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 10, 2023, 08:17:39 PM
3-1 Nuggets.
Lebron James and his crew back in Cleveland Cavaliers were the only ones who came back from that deficit against the Golden State Warriors. One of the most unforgettable Finals series in the league and it sure is written in history books about how impressive they are in those games.
Can the Miami Heat do the same? I'll leave that question.

I don't think the current Heat lineup will be able to do the same thing the Cavs did in the 2016 Finals. In fact, we can already say that the Nuggets have guaranteed themselves a win in this series and, consequently, the title. Special mention should go to Jokic, as he's performing much better this playoff run than he did during the regular season. It's funny that he didn't become the MVP of the regular season, but he'll definitely be the MVP of the Finals.
What you have written is totally correct but I was very surprised about the game 2 of this series. It was not Nuggets played bad but Miami Heat played splendidly and was just overwhelming for Nuggets. Heat were dominating. Apart from game 2 we have seen that Nuggets dominated quite hard but I can still expect a Heat resistance and I can see they win couple of games. After game 1, I was so sure Nuggets were about to win super easily but my views have changed. Even though I can see Nuggets are getting the title in the next game, we can also expect that Heat may surprise a lot of people. 

The chance for Nuggets to finish these series at home is really high, they wanted to make sure that everything was done
and they will celebrate it with their home fans.

Though maybe Heat still try to make a stand here, if they manage to win in game 2 maybe they will find ways to keep trying and snatch another game
from Nuggets.

We never know but so far Nuggets really dominating all the players inside the court are adding great perfomances.
739  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we now on Crypto bull run? on: June 10, 2023, 01:30:24 AM
Bull Run, of course, if the current price is $ 50k or more, and unfortunately the current price is still around $ 26k so in my opinion is a good price for buying, the best strategy is to buy when cheap and we can sell if the price of the bull run, the main key is of course be patient.

Still in a good range to collect and hold while waiting for the strong bull run to pump the market price, it's still a buying position
while there's no new huge strong pump.

The market is still strong compared to how it was back when the pullback was dominating the market. If you still have good amounts of spare to invest,
this current condition might be a good one to collect and keep your assets inside your safe wallet.

once history repeats itself before, while or after halving, we might see another new ATH.
740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 10, 2023, 01:13:16 AM
Also Adebayo shouldn’t be switch when guarding Jokic. This is their weakness since they letting mismatch on Jokic during switch.

To be honest, there's no one from the Miami Heat that can slow down Nikola Jokic. He needs to be contained, at least, always with the help defense.

Jokic is consistent in his numbers since Game 1 and even with the Nuggets' Game 2 loss, he was still unstoppable at that game, whoever was assigned to put some defense on him. Aside from that, that switch you are referring to will always be bound to happen and Adebayo can't just focus on Jokic most of the time. That will make him exhausted as he's also providing good numbers in offense. It's hard to defend Jokic in a post-up.

Might be the only way for Miami Heat to have an edge against the Denver Nuggets is, if Jokic won't get support much from his teammates.

The question is, will that really happen for the Nuggets?

That's another thing for the Heat's defense as aside from Jokic, everyone else inside the floor is capable of producing good numbers
even they'll manage to defend or slow Jokic a little, Murray and the gang can cover.

Though if Miami will play the same way, they did last game 2, where they manage to have good shooting percentages, that's the only thing that
I know to even these series.

Everyone needs to bring decent numbers from both defense and offense to try winning game 4.
