I don't think it will change my gambling spending. My gambling spending depends on my current financial situation and my available time because there are times when I am very busy. So if ever bitcoin and altcoins are going to get banned in my country, I will continue to hold them and of course, accumulate them. Generally, there are more crypto adoptions rather than more countries banning them. Even China could change its stance given the current situation in Hongkong wherein it is now accepting and even inviting crypto firms.

And there are always the peer to peer transactions everywhere. Bitcoin and crypto demand are getting high so I won't be surprised if the rate becomes even more higher in a country where it is banned. Plus if ever a ban happens in a democratic and open country like mine, it won't take that long before the authorities will reconsider accepting them again otherwise it will be left behind.

NOT go the Full Distance 9

My bad, since last year I switched to Google Search and surprisingly it did not catch the thread which is just made official a few hours ago. Locking it now.

This a surprising move by both fighters as they now agree on a big showdown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this coming October 28. But there were rumors already in the past few days that there was already a deal made and they are yet finalizing on the details. But this could be the best option for Fury after ducking Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed belts. Usyk already has a schedule against his WBA mandatory Daniel Dubois and the WBC is yet to make a decision on their mandatory which makes Fury free from any responsibilities. Meanwhile, Francis Ngannou is more than a year inactive and as per his agreement with PFL, he is supposed to make a tune-up boxing match before challenging the big names in boxing. Money speaks though and this Saudi opportunity is too hard to say no for Francis. And Fury might be busy negotiating again once Usyk is done with Dubois, Wilder is busy coming to an agreement with Andy Ruiz for the WBC eliminator and AJ already has a schedule against Whyte.

There are no number of rounds yet announced. I'd be surprised if this is scheduled for 12 rounds. This is not an exhibition match either so it won't be surprising if the WBC will make a special approval to make this fight a voluntary defense. Anyways, I wonder if the poll is worth asking compared to which round Fury will stop this inactive Ngannou who's making his boxing debut.

Still, this is a massive fight. Fury is still considered by many as the real lineal heavyweight champion since he never lost after receiving that recognition from his victory over Wladimir Klitschko many years ago. And Francis Ngannou is branded as the hardest puncher in the world.

Nice inspiring story mate. You have the qualities of a successful entrepreneur someday. With regard to your bitcoin investment, I am not sure if putting 80% of your revenue is advisable. I have no idea about your ongoing business profit so maybe keeping 20% is good enough for you. But it's best if you stick to investing amounts that you can only afford to lose. This way, you still have enough funds in case you need something for urgent use and you don't have to be forced to sell your bitcoins especially if the market is down.

I did not even bother to watch the video or read the links. I don't think this will work. The tournament will have a hard time getting television airtime and I wonder if there are giant companies that are willing to sponsor this type of event. If ever the tournament goes thru event without much-needed support from the media, it won't be recognized by sports associations and groups including its world record if ever it breaks some. 

The biggest question will be about the participants. It doesn't make sense to join the tournament because they will be banned by their organizations and regular tournaments. A participant will have nothing to do and earn after the tournament then? This is a crazy idea and there will be no top athletes willing to join.

That's the negative side of saving your money. After years of saving, the real worth of your money is lesser due to inflation. Even the interest rates of the banks are just way too small to offset inflation, especially for a country that has a struggling economy and you just mentioned that Bangladesh is facing financial problems.

Just like you, I also wish I knew bitcoin as early as possible. But there is no such thing as late in bitcoin these days. We're still in a bearish market and we are expecting it to recover starting next year.

Wemby is probably the most hyped before entering the NBA ever since I follow the league. Lebron was also hyped but the internet and the media and social media are not that big during that time. Of course, Wemby is not that hyped if he is not really that good, and since he is still so young his potential is also very high.

With regard to Wemby's bad performance in his first game, I don't think it deserves a lot of criticism. He was probably pressured and nervous because that was his first time and everyone was expecting him to dominate the game. But he did play well in his next game. Wemby had 27 minutes of playing time and produced 9 of 14 for a total of 27 points with 12 rebounds. That was a great performance already. There's still a lot of work to do though but he is still 19 so he needs to relax and not feel the pressure.

Yeah, I am as well curious as to how Fulton will fight Inoue. He surprised us when he fought toe to toe most of the time against Figueroa. I am also thinking that Fulton will use his boxing skills to outbox Inoue but maybe he will surprise us again by trying to become the aggressor. Maybe he will clinch or corner Inoue and then box in the inside which would need a lot of strength and energy. I doubt Inoue is used to fighting a dirty battle which would deprive him to utilize his best asset which is his blinding speed.

Maybe a parlay on Inoue and Donaire makes sense. And if you want to make the odds near 2.0 you can add AJ as well. Another exciting fight is between Oscar Valdez and Emanuel Navarette, it's a guaranteed war pretty sure. 

True, a rematch means there are psychological effects. In the past, there are a lot of rematches that happened. I remember when Oscar De La Hoya lost a very close fight to Sugar Shane Mosley at 147 but later became a unified champion at 154. He then challenged Mosley in a rematch with intentions of avenging his previous questionable defeat. Mosley before the fight lost 2 and a draw in his last 3 fights which further hyped the odds for a De La Hoya victory. But when the sound of the bell began, Mosley looked like a fresh confident fighter, and De La Hoya failed to dominate. In the end, all of De La Hoya's belts were taken by Mosley after securing another close but unanimous victory.

I believe AJ is still battling with his emotions after suffering 3 defeats. It will be interesting how his approach in this fight knowing he already stopped Whyte before but at the same time, he knows that he is also vulnerable especially if Whyte goes beast mode. Whyte has nothing to lose already, he should train hard and work on his stamina so he can attack AJ, or else it will be AJ attacking him.

Prediction 1:  $29,742

Thanks

It's pretty sad what happened on BetBoom. They just started to build a bigger momentum which is also very crucial at this stage while TI is happening in the next few months. They even beat GG 2-0 in their latest series during the group stage in Bali. So definitely it is BetBoom that has the real potential of ending GG's dominance.

If they kick Pure it also means BetBoom is out of TI direct invitations. Although there is a chance that Valve who's yet to make an official announcement will deduct points on BetBoom because they continued the tournament with a stand-in. I just hope Pure won't get a ban even this season because I like a complete BetBoom this coming TI. And hopefully the US will give Pure a visa too if he stays with BetBoom.

We'll mate it is a general rule to always invest what we can only afford to lose. Yet I may be a hypocrite if I continue to say that I am also following that rule. Last year, I had the idea of selling my house so I can invest bigger in the crypto market although I did not do it. But lately, I am once again thinking of investing bigger and the one that is in my head right now is to take a bank loan. In order to minimize its interest rate I can offer my house as collateral. But of course, I have no plans of maximizing the loanable value of my house, maybe 25% to 50% of its value.

By the way, you don't expect to earn big time in this period and last year since we are still in a bear season. But it seems everyone is already anticipating a big bull run starting next year which means the perfect time to accumulate is now?

Elon Musk is a great businessman and a master of innovation but I doubt he is perfect in everything he touches especially the market. And by the way, Twitter is not the most popular social media, it is not even in the top 10. As per statistica.com, Twitter is only ranked 14 behind Chinese giants QQ and Sina Weibo. Still sitting at the top are of course Facebook and YouTube.

Twitter is a struggling company and it is very interesting to see if Elon can actually turn it into a profitable one which I believe he can but not that fast and easy. I even believe that Twitter's net deficit became bigger. Elon might be lucky that he turned the company into a private one rather than making its stocks available to the public which would've dropped heavily after some backlash with its current users.

In my country, I can feel that our local stock market is losing its steam to the public of the ever-growing popularity of bitcoin and crypto in general. Although it is not that serious because the biggest volume in our local stocks came from huge institutions from foreign and local. The ordinary traders' volume may not be that serious but if the trend continues, our local stocks will become less popular among us local citizens.

The halving of bitcoin which in the past meant a huge bull run in the whole crypto market is pretty sure to make another huge interest to our local population here in my country. I can only hope that our local government will cater to these huge crypto exchanges like Binance rather than adopting a hostile approach towards them.

I haven't locked my bet in this fight as well unlike the Crawford vs Spence where I already locked in the 1.77 odds because I thought the WBO champion will keep on gaining favor. But thanks for the reminder because I realized I am yet to bet on the Donaire-Santiago bout which happens already next week.

I am also looking at the odds if the fight goes the distance or not though I might also take an Inoue ML at 1.30 something. I have confidence the Inoue will win even when this fight goes to the hands of the judges. But of course, I want to see KOs and TKOs. Inoue is yet to fight in this new division and we'll see if he is capable of hurting the top dogs, especially Fulton who already proved his big heart and tough chin after surviving the Figueroa unification bout where he won in a very close debatable decision. Fulton was hurt several times by Figueroa but was able to hold on and was never down once.

So I tried to do live betting again today in the DOTA 2 Bali Major. I was waiting on my preferred team to somehow fell behind when the odds are high enough for them but once again it isn't very pleasant catching those ever-changing odds. Sometimes I am simply forced to just take a bet even if with undesired odds or lose the opportunity to bet on a specific game. Later on, I just went on to bet pre-game because I felt like I was not focused on the game anymore which I am supposed to enjoy especially because it is the finals already.

So as always, live betting can be profitable but it also annoys you at times. And it also takes away your focus on the game but maybe some of you will have the same level of fun even if you missed some seconds of the game.

To be fair, all these promoters are business minded and will squeeze as much money if a fighter is not managed well. But I do consider Eddie Hearn, the youngest of the Big 4 as the most open-minded and willing to work with anyone. Although it is weird why there are so many talks about the issue of making Beterbiev-Bivol when it is a fact that the former has 3 belts compared to 1. So if Bivol is that determined, he should tell his promoters and DAZN to let ESPN and Top Rank do the job. Bivol just needs to make sure the fight is not happening in Canada and Texas, and maybe he can also demand to have the approval of the ring officials. Maybe it is not Hearn unwilling here but DAZN itself.

The sanctioning bodies have zero to very little power since they are not supposed to issue mandatories to their champions against fighters that are already world champions. Unless the sanctioning bodies secretly talk to each other and agree unanimously to do something like when the WBC mandated its champion Canelo to face GGG who was at that time also the WBA and IBF champion. Still very unlikely, because even these 4 sanctioning bodies are very sensitive with each other and besides they also do not want to put pressure on these giant networks and promoters.

Nowadays there are a lot of ways to watch games live especially the big events. You can pay online or even watch them for free. UFC's big events including its Fight Nights are always available everywhere. In boxing, for as long as they are televised by the big 3 which consist of DAZN, ESPN, and Showtime it should be a problem looking for live links. You'd be forced to choose whom to focus watching though as these big 3 networks are at war with each other so they usually have their own weekend events as well. But you can focus on the world title fights as they tend to be the more exciting and competitive fights. I am using VIPRow most of the time but there's also Sportsurge so you can choose a lot of its sources.

The good thing about Wemby being picked by San Antonio is that the team is proven to have developed even players that were drafted late and turned them into big stars. And there's also the legendary Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

Honestly, I am not even surprised by Wemby's first game in the Summer League. And even this coming NBA season, there is also a big chance that he won't win the Roy. Wemby is just 19 and his body is not yet matured. The potential though is too high that is why he is hyped a lot.

And because everything in the feeds and headlines about basketball is nearly all focused on Wemby, many are not talking about his potential rival Chet Holmgren of OKC playing today against Dallas. It is already in the 4th quarter and OKC is leading by a huge 14 points. Chet so far played 23 minutes and is 5/10 with 14 points while grabbing 9 rebounds.
