This is really painful to read, sigh. I can only imagine the things that were and are still going through his mind right now. I bet he already racked up his brains hundreds if not thousands of times already just to find a solution or a way out of his mistake but just couldn't find any which has led him to his decision of unaliving himself. All those hopes and dreams that never happened and instead got replaced with unbearable feelings of guilt, regrets and so much more. Even I don't think I'd be able to have the courage to keep on living if I had made such a mistake. I wish he finds the strength to go on living. Sigh, such a young man. I hope this news would be spread more so that a lot of people would be able to learn from this guy's experience and be more careful with their investment plans.
A very unfortunate news indeed. It’s clear that he never made an intensive research before he invested, and might only be convinced from some friends hoping that the coins he put his money will give him double or triple returns. But his money gone so wrong, and worst is he used his mother’s pension which I cannot imagine how his mother felt after she knew it. I just hope he will learned from this experience, and just only invest on an amount he can afford to lose. |

I agree to that, there's no schedule yet as promoters need to be careful if they wanted to make decent profits from this fight,
not so many are interested in this kind of fight, so better to schedule it away from any other big events.
There might be some fans who want to see Donaire back inside the ring and re-try to claim another belt, like what you said more on timing.
And the way both camps will negotiate and start promoting the possible date of their upcoming fight.
While it is the job of promoters to try to maximize the profits they can bring to their boxers and themselves, sometimes I wonder if this attitude could in fact hinder them, after all if it takes so long to set a fight which should be incredibly easy then how many opportunities Donaire and other great boxers missed during their lives as they were idling away on their homes instead of doing what they know to do best, which is to be above the ring and fight. I guess many of them, but boxers can forced their managers for them to fight who they want to face in the ring. And not just hide on the reasoning that their managers are the one making the fight for them. In this case, Donaire can request the boxing body and even his managers to really settle this fight once and for all. Because as we have said already, time is not on the side of Donaire. He is ageing, but he can still fight, maybe 2-3 fights more inside of him. So this is another good opportunity for Nonito to fight for the championship belt. Yet there is still no announcement made up until now and it is already past 2 months since Donaire and Santiago agreed to have a fight for the vacant WBC belt. We don't know what's going on behind the curtains but I'm still trying to think positive that they are just waiting for the right time when to announce it and what month/date should they have it. At least hopefully that is indeed the reason why this bout is taking too long to happen. Donaire should do something because it's him who needed this bout the most. |

Looking like the Boston Celtics are going to be sending the Atlanta Hawks fishing tonight. They’re up by more than 10 in the third now and Atlanta seems to be accepting their fate. First game of elimination night looks like we may have our first elimination. Next up will be the Nuggets trying to put away the Timberwolves for the season.
I was expecting the same thing because out of the 3 games that happened earlier, I got the Boston Celtics on my sure list to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks and proceed into the 2nd round where they will wait and face the winner of Bucks vs Miami up next. But what happened was really unexpected, Tatum didn't contribute that much compared to his usual digits every night but at least Brown took the helm but even that didn't stopped the Hawks from winning the game. Ice Trae did it again, I know it's not yet a guarantee but by the looks of it, including the situation of Milwaukee Bucks, we might be seeing the underdogs who played in the recent play-in tournament confronting each other in the East semis. If the Celtics win they will be playing Philly. As a knick fan I cringe at seeing Trae do this but it's like a car wreck and can't look away. Dude is so fun to watch with the game on the line. You know he is shooting it and you can't stop him. I can't believe Boston didn't double him right at half court. I'd give an open shot to anyone on the team than Trae guarded. Pressure is gonna build on Boston. Especially if Atlanta wins Game 6, Game 7 will be a lot of fun and either team could win. Although we might say that Boston has the advantage because of their home court and they are the better team on paper, the fact that they already lost one game at home will give the Hawks a lot of confidence to win a road game in Game 7. Anything can happen though, but this Atlanta Hawks is also a team that is underrated but can't be underestimated. As we all know, it was a team effort with of course the help of Trae Young in the absence of Murray, but in Game 6, I believe the latter will be return and that will bring another obstacle for the Celtics. Nevertheless, this will be a fun game and I'd would love this see their series drag up to Game 7. |

It is true that a single punch is more than enough to change the outcome of any fight, and it is one of the aspects which makes boxing so exciting compared to other sports, as a boxer could be losing on the judge score cards with no possibility to obtain the victory this way and with a single punch they could win the fight and do so in a way that is not only more impressive but way more authoritative, as what can be more authoritative than to win while you are still standing up and your rival lays defeated on the floor.
Remember that in boxing, a lucky punch should always be associated with strong power. Even a boxer will manage to successfully land a blow on their opponent, if it's lacking power then it's useless. Referring to Nghitumbwa, his credentials at this point isn't yet enough to consider him a strong puncher in this division. On the other hand, Casimero is proven to have a well-built structure that for a chance to knock him down, his opponent should really have that strong punch that can withstand his defense. Since Nghitumbwa is somehow new to the scene, we won't really know what he is capable of once he stepped on the ring. For Casimero, should be a tune-up fight for him if the goal is to be included in the contender's list. Being defeated by a non-popular boxer and unranked like Nghitumbwa means Casimero is nowhere within the level of the top-ranked boxers at 122 lbs division. Although I don't see it happening. It is also worth noting that John Riel Casimero is now on his comfortable division, or should I say at least he is on the right weight class where he is not having any problems anymore regarding on his weight. So, his built might be buffed a bit just like what we saw when he fought Akaho recently and meaning he can absorb and survive stronger punches this time as he is not that drained compared when he's still at 118. This Nghitumbwa will just be a steppingstone, no matter how good I look at him because if he's that strong and can provide a good toe-to-toe fight with Casimero and other boxers in this industry, then I think by now we already know who he is and what he's made of. But since we don't know him that much, then that means he can't just stand in-front Casimero and block his way towards the bigger boys in this divsion. |

True and I echo you on that statement. Jake Paul can never win against a true boxer and sadly for him, he is just built for the aspiring MMA fighters who would like to test their fate and luck in the boxing industry. He can continue making professional boxing fights that looks like an exhibition fight because that's where he is good at, no need for him to show that he can be different because we already saw his limit against Fury.
But that was his first fight against a real boxer, it will be good if he want to accept fight against a real boxer in the future, losing for few fights will not really harm his career. His fought against Tommy Fury was ended in split decision, it's not unanimous decision or KO'ed which Fury really dominating the fight and toyed Paul. True! Jake still got more time in this lifetime rather than give up already just because of that fight against Fury. The fight is not yet over and I definitely think that he still want to try and test his luck against a real boxer soon enough, but for now, he needed someone to bounce back from that loss and luckily, he found another guy to fight in the ring who just retired in the MMA world and it's Nate Diaz. Jake is smart in making his business. He will keep trying, he is still young and can beat a lot more retired UFC like Nate. He could be great to just stay fighting YouTubers as well like that Korean who fought PacMan. This Nate vs Jaake may still not come to materialize though, the schedule is still months away and Diaz still partying and even caught choking someone. Anything can happen yet. Talking about that, New Orleans police: Nate Diaz charged with second-degree battery, arrest warrant issued https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/4/24/23696682/new-orleans-police-nate-diaz-charged-with-second-degree-battery-arrest-warrant-issuedSo, yes, there's a possibility that this fight might not happen in August at all because Nate has been charged and arrested after the altercation where he allegedly choked a man named Rodney Peterson. And if ever this case against Nate will cease (I'm already expecting it to happen), we still don't know what will happen next as August is still a long way to go. |

I have a feeling that all the home teams will win and cover the spread, as well as end the first round series with a victory.
Therefore, my bets are:
Boston Celtics -13
Denver Nuggets -9.5,
and Phoenix Suns -12.5.
I believe these games will result in a blowout win for the home teams.
Tough luck for me - none of my best bets have won because the underdogs fought hard, and the Atlanta Hawks even won their game against the Celtics. But that's part of gambling - you don't win all the time. With that loss, I'm inclined to bounce back tomorrow with a bet all in on the Warriors. Double or nothing, here we go. Not just you mate, same here, got nothing today because it turns out that the spreads was just big enough to cover as the underdogs were really fighting to gain another chance. Anyway, betting in-favor of the Warriors is not really a bad idea even if they are now on the road and that bet you got might push through because the Kings #1 offensive weapon, De'Aaron Fox, might not play because of his finger injury. In-fact, he is listed questionable as of now. As for me, I'll wait for the final tip-off just to make sure because some sources are also telling that Fox is already cleared to play in Game 5 but the odds are saying the opposite thing because the Warriors are currently the favorites to win @ 1.80 |

Davis and his team really work on their defense him on how he is going to docked and then throw that left hook either in the body and or the face of Ryan. So in the 2nd round it on the money, and put Ryan down.
And so maybe Ryan is complacent and waiting that Davis will throw up in his face again. But then again, Tank opted to change tactics and throw that perfect liver shot. So it's obvious that we train very hard and has strategy. Just too bad that Ryan gets knockout, but it seems he is man enough to take that first L in his career and maybe take a rest and be back in the last quarter of the year with maybe a tune up and cherry pick fight.
Davis used his quickness and high ring IQ in that fight. Ryan Garcia is undoubtedly a great boxer, but that was the battle of the best and the best fighter here was Tank Davis. There won't be a rematch, which is unnecessary anyway since Tank Davis won convincingly in their previous fight. So, what do you think is next for Tank Davis? Who do you think he should fight next? Since Davis is now more hyped from defeating Ryan Garcia, I will not be surprised if people will be calling Tank Davis to fight the winner of Loma-Haney fight. I guess it's already time too for that to happen, soon enough, because Tank has been holding the WBA regular belt for quite sometime now since he got in 2019 where he fought and defeated Gamboa by a way of TKO. |

Yes, I believe so too. The only remaining thing that needed by Ryan Garcia is to have defeat in-order to wake up from the harsh reality (which he got now) that he needs to wise up and man up because that left hook that he got that helped him to become what he is now will be nothing if he cannot hit the opponent with it. I mean, how could he hit them with it if he cannot even guard himself. At least he learned it on a much earlier stage and not when he's already hard enough to teach.
For sure this defeat wakes up Ryan Garcia that he is doing things the wrong way.  He should see how devastating to have weak boxing fundamental especially when matched to a skilled boxer. I also think that Ryan Garcia will be working his variety of punches and angles so that it won't be predictable like what he did in the last fight. I bet he wiill practice more calmness and avoid being over aggressive because it is a mistake that can cause him the fight. All in all, I think after this defeat, we will be seeing a better Ryan Garcia. Hopefully that will be the case, even at a defeat, he will find some positive on it, watch the tape with his team, and see where it went wrong. But I do agree that he has a lot to improved because if he is going to face another great fighter that can punch, it will be another big L for him. One downfall is that he did try to be over aggressive in this fight, even if he is not hitting Tank, he still continue to chase him. Even if he was caught with a knockdown punch, he goes on and fight and go for his best shot of left hook which didn't land solid on Tank. Because he didn't used his own size advantage over Tank Garcia, instead he's the one who will reel Tank, he was the one who took the bait and chase Tank all the way up to the point where he over commits and found himself facing a punch that knocked him down in the 2nd round. I even thought that he will be more careful after that incident, but I was wrong because what he did is the very same thing until he faced his fate in the 7th round. Hopefully he will be more wiser next time though and not be too confident just because he got a good KO ratio. He should learn a thing or two from this fight so that somehow he can be unpredictable next time. Yes, that is certainly a lesson for Ryan Garcia and he will not surely forget because that was his first defeat. Also, I bet that almost everyone in his camp after the fight aren't that happy with the result because I strongly think Ryan Garcia didn't exactly do what is on their master plan because just like you guys said, I also don't think that chasing Tank was part of their plan instead of having Tank chasing Garcia because Tank surely cannot do something with his fist if he can't land it. |

What a show from Jimmy Butler last night against Bucks with a total of 56 points! I'm currently watching the 2nd half because that is where I felt asleep and I still cannot believe it that Miami took the game and they are leading the series 3-1. Giannis what a rough night with only 26 points and it was all on Lopez for scoring points and sames goes for Middleton who forgot how to score 3 pointers...
I hope they gonna win this series because the Bucks are not really in the mood to win the championship this year because Giannis is not a hundred percent OK and Jimmy Butler's playoffs mode is activated right now and they might gonna rally sooner and jump to the next round after they successfully win this last game. If that happened, surely the best match possible is against the Knicks because they are also surprisingly winning the series as well, and playing the next round with the Heat will surely test their skills. The Heat have suddenly become a dangerous team this playoffs. I'm sure other teams will respect them if they beat the number 1 team in the East. If they face the New York Knicks, who are also good defensively, it should be a great series since the Heat can play a defensive game too. They're a flexible team when it comes to basketball styles. If the second round matchup is Heat vs Knicks, will the Heat take the home court advantage because they beat the number 1 team, or will we still base it on the regular season rankings? As far as I can see it, only Jimmy Butler is dangerous in the Miami Heat right now because even Bam Adebayo is not getting the right rebounds that he should do and have to help the team especially the offensive ones, they need to step up even more to help Butler because Herro is currently injured right now and possibly would be back in late second round if they can eliminate the Bucks plus there's Oladipo who met a season ending injury. Right now, they are on a comfortable phase because the Bucks are two games away but they should be careful because anytime, Giannis and the rest of the team can bounce back. Let's just hope that Butler will not burn-out because of the responsibility and load he got. |

Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money? if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money? It is not gambling for me since you didn't risk anything valuable. You can predict for free similar to a bonus. You have nothing to lose here so it's not gambling. But it's also not easy to win this prediction since you have to guess correctly the score of 6 soccer matches. If you're already a gambler, you might be tempted to play with real money to see your chances. I think this is just a strategy to lure the gamblers to play on the casino. Right. For me, this is more of a marketing strategy so that those who might predict correctly might be gambling sooner and start to wager an amount to bet. Maybe for now, what the site is offering is not gambling yet, but knowing this is a gambling site, it will eventually tempt you to bet an amount the next time you play in it as the rewards are quite impressive and promising. The end point here is to see you finally gambling in their site so they can start profiting from your funds. |

The major things someone have to put into consideration before establishing business, the first is to have a self determination, secondly you most at least know the preamble or neither mastered the business you want to venture into before establishment, I believe that another thing important to be considered before establishing a business is to know a good site for establishment and population rate of people living in area you want to establish your business.
Know your business and its best location so that you can expect for its success and prosperity. Because even if you have the best attitude and faith towards your business, and highly sufficient funds, that will not work as long as you don’t know your business and how it will be profitable in the long run. Also, with high competition in the market, it’s very important to keep your business on top from others by always meeting the demands of the consumers. |

I have learned something so important in the previous bull market that got to about $30k . When the price of bitcoin was $21k I bought some bitcoin and after getting this amount of bitcoin I had target if it gets to $30,000 I will take profit, luckily it got to the price I was targeting but I was reluctant to take profit like I planned thinking the market price will go beyond $30,000 to get more profits but unfortunately the price didn't continue to increase, but I'm not worried about that because I know the price will definitely increase again and I will get my profit of target.
I'm saying this because of some people who may have a target, it is important for them to hodl to their target and not be carried away by the increase of price of the market. The market can never be predicted, hold to your target and never be too greedy to make more profit. There is another day for another profit. This is important for people who have been patiently waiting for their target .
It’s a certain fact that people decide to invest not only because it’s their passion but mostly because of their greed. But if it reaches the point when your greed is highly uncontrollable, that will only lead you into possible losses than to reap your future profits. That’s the reason why we should always stick to our target goals, and not be carried away by greed. After all, when you decide to sell at a good price, you are already making profits. So just buy back again when the price drops sharply so you can enter the market at its perfect timing. |

In some conversations that I have had with some rich people who are old, they most times always say that they invested in real estate and that was how they made some fortune. Young people understand that investing is key and paramount to securing a better future like these Old rich men did then, But the question now is what exactly to invest in for young people. Is it wise to follow in the steps of the old rich men who had investments in Real Estate, or do they completely now invest in cryptocurrency? The answer is sometimes traced to the one that offers the lowest risk and loss of capital.
The less riskier from Real Estate and cryptocurrency is Real Estate, but less risk,, less reward. The risk that come with the higher volatility of cryptocurrency makes the profit that can be gotten bigger. Will you go for less risk, or big profit?
Real Estate and cryptocurrency are both profitable nowadays. But if you ask for these new generation investors, they will surely chose cryptocurrency knowing they’re good at technology innovations. But for me, it would be ideal if we both invest in them. After all, we can achieve maximum profits if we have various investments which we know that are both profitable. |

Gambling addict will not listen easily, they are drowning on their greed and they need proper assistance and medication, I'm talking about the worst case scenario of being addict in gambling. As much as possible, you have to help yourself if you are still in the early stage of addiction, it's not too late for you. These reminders are being posted here repeatedly and I'd hope that many are already aware about the possible risk of gambling and the threat of its addiction. If you can help someone who are into gambling, please do so because you can save his/her life by guiding them slowly but surely.
It’s certain that gambling addicts are not on their right thinking anymore. Instead of controlling their gambling activities, they even push their selves to the maximum limit just to be satisfied with their greed. So threads like this would not be helpful anymore. But what these gamblers literally needed are their family and friends to help them in their worst phase in life, if they can’t achieved that, maybe the help of medical practitioners would be the last option. |

China is definitely playing double game! Not just on crypto but on many other aspects as well. Allowing Hong Kong to host crypto related business is a part of their ambitious gameplan. They are cashing in while US is showing signs of strengthening it's grips over crypto market. It's clear as broad daylight.
But I really don't understand US. They are allowing crypto companies to operate and allowing listing on stock exchanges. At the same time, giving enforcement agencies a freehand to act against them.
Greed has always been the center of China ever since. So I should never doubt if this is just part of their game plan. Maybe they’re up to something new why they let Hong Kong become crypto friendly when all they want to promote is their own digital currency Yuan. If I’m not mistaken, they plan to get back with crypto again since Yuan never get the success they want. So by deceiving other countries like USA, who is anti crypto yet they allow crypto operations, they will come to believe them that crypto has no place in their country and should be banned permanently. |

If you keep on relying on experienced bitcoiners, that will only help you temporarily but will never help you grow personally. That is why it’s important that you possessed both knowledge and experiences in life so that you can dwell on every worst situation that comes even without the help of experts. Bitcoin is not just all about knowledge, it’s more on practical application so that you can come up with good and reliable analysis to make you profitable and successful.

I definitely agree with all other points except for the card one. I'm also a family person and we go shopping as well, and to be honest, having only cash doesn't really stop you from spending more unless you have already taken all the other steps like having a specific list and sticking to it or not buying unnecessary things.
Having a budget for everything is probably the most useful one, and sticking to the budget is very important. You can't add or subtract from a budget allocated for one thing to another or everything will start getting out of proportion.
Bringing cash does not guarantee that you will never overspend, and that you will stick to your budget. There’s still high chances that you might not stick to your budget list because you find other items more cheaper and useful at that moment. At the end of the day, your budget list becomes ineffective. So you have to spend another cash just to secure other items that were missed to buy which means you already spend more than your budget. If that will continue and you never change your style, you might run out of budget and resort into taking loans. And once you start taking loans, believe me it’s always hard to get out from it and find yourself stuck on it. |

John Ryder should able to utilize the advantage he got because he have the height and reach advantage which should be enough to outbox Canelo if he can't knock him out. Apart from that, withstanding and weathering those punches from the champion would be a big help for Ryder to maintain his scores. To think, John Ryder is somehow lucky because he got a good 4K clip from the Canelo vs Bivol fight which should give him some points to consider on how to outsmart Canelo and second, Canelo came from a surgery which is possibly a good thing on his side.
Canelo's height is 5 ft 8+1⁄2 in while Ryder's height is 5 ft 9 in, Canelo reach is 70+1⁄2 in while Ryder's height is 72 in, that's not a big difference. It's really depends on Ryder's strategy in the ring, he need to able to receive all damage using his shoulder and being aggressive. That's what most boxers can't do it because Canelo's punch is strong and hurt too, but Bivol physical appearance and body are more stronger. Ryder were struggling when he fought a boxer which previously has been defeated by Canelo, so that's not make me convinced to see Ryder pull an upset. Either way, that is still an advantage and I do agree that John Ryder should make use of what he got because even the slightest difference can still be a big help for someone like Ryder who is named as a heavy underdog in this fight. If he wanted to win this fight to give himself a good opportunity in the future, he should be smart enough to use whatever he got. Anyway, that shoulder roll will not help Ryder in his case because Canelo already figured out a way how to counter it as he learned that lesson expensively as that specific style gave him his first defeat from the famous boxer who mastered the shoulder roll or known as the Philly Shell, Floyd Mayweather Jr. |

If this boxer, Nghitumbwa, comes to fight, then we will certainly see an entertaining bout.
Alternatively, we might see an upset if he truly possesses the legitimate power to defeat a former champion. It's a big challenge for him since people are underestimating him, and boxers like him have nothing to lose. However, if he is truly determined to win, that's when we may witness an upset. Who knows, he might even get an easy ticket to a championship fight by defeating Casimero. And we could all say he truly earned it in a difficult way if he defeats Casimero and was able to buy his ticket for a championship fight. He is underestimated in both the betting lines as a heavy underdog and in the media. I don't think he will win too as Casimero is eager enough to win this fight and claim back the respect that he wants and a position on the higher seeds that earns a chance for a title match. This fight is near with just a month away and yet we don't see market boosters in social media. I had been trying to find some recent updates or training camps and other stuff but I cannot find one. I guess it won't be a much popular fight. This is the only recent news that I bumped into. https://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/498675/paras-to-fight-japanese-boxer-hanaba-in-casimero-nghitumbwa-undercardThis developed as Vince Paras, a former world title challenger fighting under Sanman Boxing Gym, faces Japanese Hayumu Hanada in a 10-rounder non-title showdown in the undercard.
The bout is a fitting replacement for the Carl Jammes Martin - Jun Ikegawa bout which was cancelled after the former suffered injury in training.
That will remain as a big if for now because Nghitumbwa will have to prove himself first as he is still a nameless boxer and I know that Casimero will not make a mistake this time because he is looking for some statement to give himself a good push while climbing the ladder towards the top. Unfortunately, Casimero haven't had any good exposures locally (TV and news outlets) up until now that the fight is already nearing and I know it because we're both from the same country. He could use a good exposure so that the people will know that a Filipino former champion at 118 got a fight inside the Philippines and is now fighting his way at 122 towards the top and redeem what he have lost in his previous division. |

And his hand injuries could be the result of his hard training against Fulton. Although he could have that injury already, but might be aggravated in training and that's why he has to postponed the fight till June.
There is no report of surgery or operation though, so it might be that Inoue needs to take care of that hands and rest for a while so no training for him. As for the weight, yes, I do agree there not much issue he could even weigh less than the required limit of 122 lbs in this fight.
Even in perfect condition, I hope the injury will not hinder the performance of Inoue. There are cases where a person, even though fully healed, is affected by the injury(psychological effect). I hope to see a 100% performing Inoue in the fight against Fulton on July 25. Psychologically? No, I don't think he'll get bothered by it considering how much beating he had been into from training down to taking a lot of heavy punches in the ring against his opponents . Hand injuries maybe vital for any fighters, but an injury as a result of over training might not be too serious. His injury was first been reported late in March - so I guess he still have enough time to heal those, thus in does not need surgery though. Same here, I do not think that he will be affected mentally with that surgery. He can still throw that hand in powerful manner as he used to be and there will be no effect if the hand had healed 100%. And Asians are not known to have this kind of psychologically in this fight, it's either they will give their best in a fight or just lose because the other boxer has prepared well and is the best fighter that night. Inoue has face a lot of good and elite boxers in his career that I doubt that a hand injury will stop him from accomplishing another goal of his. So far, Inoue's injury wasn't reported as a major injury that will probably hinder him or will make him struggle in the fight. Fulton better prepare for the worse and not underestimate Inoue because of his current situation as that is not a smart thing to do, either way, they still got a lot of time to prepare and I think that will be enough too for Inoue to heal whatever his injury. |
