461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: January 24, 2024, 07:15:22 AM

So Nery needs to be very careful here, he might think that his power could be enough, but Inoue shows that he has a iron chin too. And Inoue also developed his counter punching already, similar to a pull back then straight right of Mayweather. But Inoue has more power.

Nery does have a good KO rate but Inoue is just exceptional. He better think that he is up against an extraordinary powerful fighter so he would be reckless when in the ring. It's a big success for him if he could finally deal Inoue his first lose, but it's easier than said, you know.

I believe that Fulton and Tapales were the toughest opponent that he fought in the last three years and Nery is not that invincible he was first exposed by figueroa the guy cannot take a punch and figueroa is not even a hard puncher, all Inoue has to do is to aim the body because Nery has weakness in his body as shown in his match against Figueroa.

Quote
Inoue is the heavy favorite with the odds interpretation that he is unlikely to lose, so Nery has the challenge here prove to the world that Inoue also has some weakness. The fight is in Japan, all advantage is on Inoue but Nery could make it not necessary anymore if he could end the fight with a knockout.
I cannot think of any fighter that has a chance to beat him in the super welterweight, even Inoue who boast that he can do the job has no advantage against Inoue we will just see Inoue's greatness leading into the upper weight category, we all hope that he moved up he wiped the division and that includes Casimero so no one can say that Inoue did not gave him a chance.
462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Casimero (possible fight in 2024) Let's discuss! on: January 23, 2024, 04:59:10 PM

As for Arum's businesses, he would rather see Inoue keep winning as he can make money picking fighters of his choice. Since he already unified the 122 division, there is no reason for him to stay but he considers defending. There are so many fighters in the featherweight where he could make money too.


This is why I'm not too fond of Arum being Inoue's promoter he likes to cherry pick fight for fighters he managed like what happened to Crawford he badly wants Spence but Arum is overprotective of Crawford and he doesn't believe that he could beat Spence

The fight happens but they wanna make sure they can make money. Does Casimero going back to MP promotion make the fight possible?

Or will they have to wait up to 5-6 years til Casim is 40 yo before giving him the heads up? It's all their game when they want to make money. If they can't make money from the Casim vs Inoue fight because it's risky, then it's just going to be the waiting game til Casim isn't in his prime.


There is no news that he will go back to MP Promotions Casimero doesn't want to let go of his brother as his trainer even if his brother is getting a lot of negative feedback about the way he manages Casimero, and Casimero is too proud and has a lot pride he wants the MP Promotions to beg him to return, but I don't think the promotions will do that, its Casimero who needs MP promotions.

If the fight will not push this year, Casimero better forgets the Inoue fight, it's his chance to make a lot of money he's the one who blew his chance, while Inoue is doing great on his path to greatness.

463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Zhilei Zhang vs. Joseph Parker (WBO interim heavyweight title) March 8 on: January 23, 2024, 03:53:50 PM
Have you all seen Zhang's press conference he believes that his fight against Parker is and should be the real main event because the Joshua - Ngannou match is just an exhibition while his match against Joseph Parker is a title match and many fans agreed that their match should not be an undercard or even a co main event

According to Zhang
Quote
“From my perspective, that’s a ten round exhibition,” Zhang said to Fight Hype on the subject of AJ against Ngannou. “People are going to tune in to watch that fight, a lot of people, because it’s boxing versus MMA, they want to see Joshua versus Ngannou two world famous athletes going at each other. But to me, there’s no question Joshua will get the victory. If you really look at it from a boxing perspective, you know who the main event will be.”
https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/zhilei-zhang-says-him-against-joseph-parker-is-the-real-march-8-main-event/273287

Although he has a case but Joshua - Ngannou has a lot of intrigue, curiosity, and interest the boxing wants to see how Ngannou will pair against Joshua or if Joshua will perform better than Fury who suffered from a knockdown when he fought Ngannou.

I believe both fights deserve a spotlight and the winner of their respective fights will move on for another title shot, it would be unusual if Ngannou ended up a champion before the end of the year, Ngannou a World Champion in less than 5 fights could be the biggest shake-up in boxing history.

With such a statement, I would believe he is trying to belittle Ngannou for he wants to be the next to fight Ngannou. Zhang is a real deal, he could even defeat Fury in he legitimate match and China will soon produce more fighters like him to dominate the boxing industry. Zhang vs Ngannou could be the next fight already.

But the winner of the Joshua - Ngannou fight will be the one to fight the winner of the Fury - USYK fight, so the only way that these two are going to fight each other is if both fighters lose in their respective fight,  Zhang vs Ngannou  is a pretty good fight to make both fighters are big punchers, the heavyweight division has so many possibilities and the biggest event is the unification bout between Usyk and Fury because this is the first time that we will have a real undisputed and lineal champion the last undisputed and lineal champion was Lennox Lewis.

Whoever wins the undisputed and lineal championship will carve his name as the greatest boxer in this era, there are so many stakes in that fight but before that let's enjoy these two cards which I consider to be a co-main event, not one is a undercard here.

No one is talking about this fight but it's a title fight with the underrated boxers in the heavyweight division. How do you see this fight, who has the upper hand here between the two?


There's a discussion between these two fighters on the other thread but they are only an undercard event, it's good that we have a dedicated topic between these two fighters because these two fighters is worth discussing their strength and weaknesses because there's a possibility that the fight between the two will be much better than the main card between Ngannou and Joshua.

My pick here is Joseph Parker, beating Wilder was not that easy but he did it unanimously he took his punches counter punches and was the more aggressive fighter if he fought the way against Zhang he'd dominate the fight, but he needs to watch Zhang lightning jabs and left hook, those were the punches that paralyzed Joyce defenses.
I'd like to see the face-off between these two fighters I don't think there will be thrash talks as both fighters are gentlemen inside and outside of the ring.

Get it or take it, it is up to you.
I am more busier with the "Save the civilization" project than some easy casino game.

People think too negative nowadays and do not willing to dream that "the miracle is right there", "the gold is just in front of them for grab".


Not being negative it's just that people here can easily spot potential scammers like you, you undermine the community's knowledge on how to catch people with hidden agendas all that the people are saying here is true you can say what you want to say, but we know and you know what you're offering is fake.

This is how scammers react if they decline and post bad feedback on your offer they will call people names and despise people for loss opportunity from what they are offering.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Your Roller Coaster feeling When You Gambling on: January 22, 2024, 03:39:44 PM
Sorry to make this thread moderated this is to make sure everyone follows the right format

When we are playing in casinos there are so many emotions on our minds and we experienced different feeling

I'd like to ask what you are feeling about the various stages of playing in casinos

An hour before going to a casino?
Feeling relax and anxious

After logging in and pulling out the games you are about to play?
Excited and curious if this is my lucky or bad day

While playing?
Adrenaline rush

After you experience successive losses?
exhausted and angry

After you won successively?
feeling great and excited


After you log out whether you win or lose?
Trying to calm my nerves from what I experience so I can move on
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: While placing bet what comes your mind on: January 22, 2024, 02:05:52 PM
We have mixed emotions when placing bets, if money is our intention why do we play in casinos, we feel worried and excited because it is money that we worked hard and we are risking it, we are excited when we just want to have a good time and also make money because we are in suspense mood trying to guess if we are going to win or lose.
Control and discipline are very important in gambling, your bankroll is the measure of how good you are at controlling your gambling, experienced gamblers have no problems with their bankroll distribution, they know when to stop and how to pace themselves.
Pacing is very important to keep your bankroll last at your allocated time, if you cannot control or do not know how to pace, you will eventually lose your bankroll at the earliest time.
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do i handle my first gambling experience on: January 22, 2024, 12:31:01 PM
Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

I have a bad memory of the first time I gambled, I was not properly guided I've done what all newbies have done, like thinking that you can make money in gambling and chasing losses, I had a belief back then that if you keep on betting you will eventually win but it was not a case and its very dangerous because you keep getting money out of your pocket.
Online casinos were not yet popular back then but I do horse racing and dice betting during fiesta even if there is no house edge the operators are the one who keeps all the profit, it seems they have a way of controlling the roll of the dice, so you are right in asking these questions our community and I will answer all of these based on my experience when I was starting to gamble.

How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience? Just don't expect too much there will be a point when you will keep winning, its beginners' luck but that doesn't mean that you can make money from gambling if you're playing online the house will always win because of its edge, but if luck is on your side you can still win and beat

What are the things I should expect as a first-time gambler?
Just relax observe your emotions and check what comes out the most, you will get excited, angry, sad, and happy these feelings are normal and will come past

How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or losing?
Validate your feelings on these two situations it's ok to be sad and happy, this is what playing in casinos is all about the most important thing is at the end of the day you enjoy your experience.



 
470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation on: January 22, 2024, 10:37:55 AM


The most effective way to address this issue is for the parents and teachers to play their part and convince the young generation the do and don't of gambling and how it can harm our personality and life if we are addicted to it.

I agree with the article you provided, ease of access and curiosity which is the nature of the youth are the two of the main elements that can make youth lose itself from gambling, the youth loves to venture because we are in a fast paced and extravagant generation where money is always involved in our every move.
The youth are in a hurry to make money and the gambling casino are just one of the venue that they can explore to get fast money they fancy the gambling platform as a place where they can reach their dream of making a lot of money.

If the youth is not properly guided he will be at loss when faced with a situation where he can make money from gambling, its not only the parents and teachers its also the concern of the government.
The youth is the hope of the nation, we cannot maximize the potential of the youth if he is too involved in gambling.

The featherweight is loaded with a lot of superstars who can challenge him and give him a good fight, it will be interesting how he will pair with Navarette and if can he take his power in the Super featherweight just like Pacquiao did.
The featherweight is Inoue's real entry to greatness because this is where people will be interested to see if he has what it takes to be a superstar in that division.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 21, 2024, 03:06:24 PM


And the lower risks you takes on your predictions is the smaller the game odds which you may demand higher stakes to secure an appreciative winning. Although there is still no assurance of winning here for winning in gambling is strictly game of luck.

This is all about you either faces your fears and ready to accept what it brings or you withdraws from your fears and minimizes the threats outcomes.


Your character plays out with whatever decision you make in casinos if you have a strong character and can take losses and risks you are likely to go all out with your bets, but if you have a weak character you will try to have a safe bet and cash out with whatever amount there is.

A good gambler plays and decides based on what he is comfortable doing, there should be no pressure or regret about what he did, in the first place we are gambling to enjoy and have fun, our gambling experience whether we play it online or offline casinos should be hassle and stress-free, we have so many stress in our lives and casino is an entertainment platform and casinos is a place where we turn to, to take out these stress and depression.

474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: January 21, 2024, 01:20:40 PM


I made a very wrong decision on a game I staked today and this is unlike me because I don't normally check on my games until its settled because sometimes you will tempted with some crazy things like cash-out which is what I did today and although you won't blame me to some extent but still if I was patient enough as the final results if the games came through and Instead of winning the whole money, I got only a fraction of the funds.

Don't blame and never blame yourself in all decision you do when it comes to cashing out, so what if you lose you will then blame yourself for not cashing out early, if this happens you will have a guilty feeling and for that guilty feeling to vanish you will have to deposit and try to chase your losses that will eventually lead to more losses in your end.
Its normal to be greedy but when you decide to cash out whatever happens after that should not be a cause of you being guilty, when it comes to gambling whatever happens, happens, never cry over spilled milk, be firm with your decision to continue to cash out, depression and anxiety happens when we keep blaming ourselves from our wrong actions, gambling in casinos should be fun and sometimes profitable.
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: January 21, 2024, 01:49:23 AM
My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and  she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

It will be disheartening for the whole family because we have a thief and a dishonest member in the family and I just felt that as a parent I'm a big failure that I raise a problem child to the family and in the future could be a potential problem to the society, because if he can do this to his family he can do this to other people and this will cause a bad reputation to the whole family.

Even if he won and the bets comes from stolen money I don't think I can take it, its not a guarantee that even if he won money he will change his way, stealing is bad and it will hurt the most if you're doing it with your family, if you steal to your family that means you don't respect your family and you have no moral.

Crypto gambling needs freedom, and i insist in this point. If you can Deposit, Wager and Widrawal, then you don't need anything else.  And a big shout out to those casinos who still working until now without a license, freebitco.in, Just-Dice.com, bustabit.com... They are big examples of how crypto gambling should be.

I hope that's the case and that the casino platforms will and can exist without regulation, but so many online casinos got their domain and are hosted on platforms that are regulated by the government they can easily ask the registrar and the host to stop registration and hosting platforms casinos that do not adhere to international laws on AMLAC.
And worse they can mark these platforms as part of money laundering as they did in many mixers, online casinos are legit profit-making business ventures so they have no choice but to be compliant and go in the direction of what legit online companies should do and that is by getting licenses.

Very good discussion glad OP created this kind of discussion you might want to open a poll on what the community thinks

Also, I am curious, does the person you talk about got help from a rehabilitation facility of he managed to get out of gambling by his own and with the support of his family? What kind of mechanisms he used to defeat addiction?


He could not decline his friend's request so he got into rehabilitation through his family's help and expenses, his addiction was so bad that whenever he got hold of the money he was tempted to use it to bet because the guy claimed that he won a lot of times so every money he could hold is his ticket for another round of winning and not only because of the money, it's more on the joy of being alive whenever he plays, so he decides to rehabilitated to save himself on many humiliation that could come if he cannot overcome his addiction.
478  Economy / Gambling discussion / The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling on: January 20, 2024, 02:45:05 PM
I was talking to a friend who used to be a compulsive gambler and is now a responsible gambler and I asked him what made him decide to be rehabilitated is it because of the money, he said its not.

It was because of the situation that he was in and that a friend asked him to keep his money it was his saving and he was about to buy a new cell and he only needed a week to complete the money and he didn't keep it in the house he might use it so he decided to entrust the money to him because his friend had complete trust on him.

Unfortunately because of his addiction, he was tempted to use the money to gamble thinking that he could double the money and give his friend a share so he could buy a more expensive cellphone, unfortunately, he lost the money and surprisingly his friend showed up and asked for the money the day after he loss the money.

He has no choice but to tell the truth, his friend does not know that he is a gambler so to forgive him for what he did his friend asks him to undergo rehabilitation, he was so embarrassed that he regrets learning about gambling, and thankful that because of his friend he was rehabilitated.

What's a similar case that you're in that made you regret that you learned gambling?

Your contribution is appreciated.
479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 20, 2024, 12:07:41 PM
For the same reasons why people still drink and smoke even though they know that it is killing them.

Habits.
Not only habits but also a feel-good effect called dopamine, there is something in winning in gambling that attracts people to try to repeat it over and over again, and when they lose, they are challenged to regain their losses, this is why they continue playing and continue losing their money.

Quote
Gambling also makes you greedy so it is more dangerous than smoking and drinking. Not health-wise directly but since your health also depends on your finances, one can even say that gambling affects your health more than smoking.
Because gambling affects the mind and finances, you can lose everything in one sitting whereas in smoking and drinking you cannot lose your fortune smoking and drinking but you can lose your health on these three

Quote
Gambling gives you an illusion that you can become rich without having to work hard. In the end it only makes you poorer.

Because gamblers are envious when they see other people posting their winnings they are motivated to keep on betting so they can do the same when they win but in the end, they lose a lot of money and hurt their finances.
480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 19, 2024, 03:43:11 PM
Now the picture has become a laughing stock and the lady become a meme just look on these pictures.
This is what we are, we just make fun of some controversies even if they're serious because we can't do anything with it. The officials are actually the laughing stock on this matter but they're just trying to defend on it and the general manager even said that their agency(PCSO) isn't really good at editing and that's not a matter because they're just trying to hide and protect the actual winner. I am waiting for the senate inquiry if they're going to be firm on their investigation on this one and if there will be corrupt officials that will be caught on this unusual high prized lottery that can be part of the guinness.  Grin

The general manager's statement is very surprising, what do they mean that they are not good at editing they have millions of budgets, don't tell us that they don't have a decent editor or they don't have one, even a grade 4 student can do better on editing, the senate should continue with the investigation, there is a winner in another lottery and its a huge amount over $12 million, let's see how they are going to hide the identity of the winner if the public asks for proof.

I already posted that they should just cover everything because the outlet where the winner bet will announce that the winner of that huge amount bet on their outlet but of course they have no way of knowing who is the winner.

This thing is happening because the culture is very different in a third-world country, compared to the 1st world country, in a country like the US you can claim your prize and show it on social media and mainstream media, and the winner can still walk in the street as if winning millions is just natural.

In a third-world country, you have to change your identity for fear of being targeted by bad elements or people with bad intentions and they are conniving with crooked cops
