My head says;
1.  Canelo 
2.  Under 10.5 Rounds
3.  Round 7

But I'm more than happy if GGG wins.

I think Chimaev got into the altercation with Holland due to religion too. Some Muslims got offended when asked or told to remove their beards. So it was said the altercation later spread as the team of Nate Diaz was later dragged into it.

But maybe the drama was faked to cover up Chimaev's overweight. Chimaev and Holland IIRC touched gloves before the bell sounded and both were on good terms right after the stoppage. I don't think Nate Diaz would've faced a too much overweight Chimaev. And Nate can probably get out of his UFC contract without a fight since he was able to make his obligations properly.

I missed that first 10 kills market but it's not available here. My bets were mostly ML, first aegis, and first barracks. I got 2 from soccer and 1 from basketball in that 10-win streak though.

With the kind of level, T1 is playing, I think they can take the TI slot, and as the days progress they can build that chemistry needed in order to compete well in TI.

I'm disappointed by the draft of goonsquad in that 2nd map. I don't know what they were thinking, 2 cores were too soft.

Puppey and Team Secret followed Nigma's earlier path into the lower bracket as they were badly outgunned by Entity in 2 games.

Wow! I'm kind of speechless to this year's EuroBasket. Great games and full of surprises. Nikola Jokic and the Serbian's were my top favorite to win this year's tournament but they lost in the round of 16. And in the quarterfinals, I think 3 out of 4 were full of surprises. I forgot if Spain was the favorite to win over Finland. But 2 of the remaining 3 NBA superstars exited too as Giannis and the Greeks were dropped by the sharp-shooting Germans while Luka and the Slovenians were upset by Poland. The remaining top NBA superstar is defensive specialist Rudy Gobert although they were also nearly upset by the Italians. 

I think I'll take a pass in the semifinals. The Germans are a slight favorite due to the momentum they are right now but I am not counting out the more experienced Spanish team. France is expected to win over Poland but the spreads are too unpredictable. France might win but maybe it will be another close one since all its victories after the group stage all went to overtime which is a little scary.

The betting odds headed to where I expected when this fight was announced. I mean, how can GGG be only 3x something when Donaire was 4x against Inoue? Both GGG and Donaire are old and their chances are knockouts or at least hurting their younger opponents to change the pace of their fights. Donaire was proven to be capable of hurting Inoue but GGG wasn't able to deal serious damage to Canelo for 24 rounds. So yes I am expecting GGG's odds to move to 4x more than Donaire's odds against Inoue.

But as a GGG fan, I am hoping for an upset. I want a miracle.

You probably got lucky again with your football picks now as you were inactive in DOTA2. 

The same scenario here with regards to DOTA2 markets. I can only pick ML before games start. We nearly have the same picks at last. Maybe I can get lucky too. I also have Xerxia ML but I had goonsquad ML too. Goonsquad odds was too good and I think they have a really good chance of beating Liquid. Now I'm confused if I watch Xerxia's third game or I'll watch goonsquad's first game.

My 10-win streak ended when T1 lost the first aegis to RSG. But I just started another 2 straight wins with T1 barracks and ML. This is my luckiest DOTA2 so far this year.

It's odd to see New York a very rich city has a low level of team in the NBA. Although I am not sure how rich the owners of the New York Knicks are compared to the other top teams in the NBA.

This coming season the New York Knicks showed its eagerness to improve by offering a serious offer to Utah for Donovan Mitchell. They would've acquired Spida if not for the Cavaliers a little better offer. I can see their current line-up capable of making it to the playoffs but with limited success against the other top teams.

RJ Barrett's contract will end next season, he might get paid more than Jalen Brunson if he continues to play at a high level. But New York if they are serious about improving the team can acquire any superstars this season or next season since they do not have huge players under contract.

Okay, it seems that most people here do not like Bob Arum of Top Rank. I am not a big fan either. But to be fair. Are there even promoters we can name that are not greedy or shall we say business first rather than for the good of boxing in general?

My most hated moment with Bob Arum is when he avoided risking Pacman to Oscar Dela Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions fighters. At that time GBP has the most number of popular and exciting fighters in the division compared to Arum's. Although Pacman was able to fight Marquez and the Barrera rematch there should've been more classical fights to be made like Juan Diaz, Joel Casamayor, Michael Katsidis, Joan Guzman, Jorge Barrios, and many more. But if Pacquiao fought these great fighters one by one then I guess he would've spent most of his years at super-featherweight and lightweight. Pacman won't make it as an 8 division world champion in that case.

Another thing I don't like about Bob Arum is that I believe that he started the low-quality undercards. I can remember when he said that fight fans came for the main event and that they don't care about the supporting bouts. I used to see championship fights in the undercards which are very very rare nowadays. The sad thing is that all promoters followed it so maybe Bob is right.

At present, I think Top Rank still has the best fighters pound for pound even more if Bud hasn't left for free agency. And at present, I find Al Haymon of PBC as the most selfish promoter and the most difficult to deal with other promoters. My favorite promoter now is Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, not perfect but he did sacrifice some of his investments for the sake of boxing.

First and foremost, I think it would be more appropriate if you read Bitcoin's White Paper first. After reading this, probably half or more of your possible future questions will be answered already.
BTC White Paper: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Bitcoin mining is not that simple. I myself wanted to mine before but my place's electricity rate is too expensive for BTC mining. Mining or the Proof-of-Work is also in the White Paper. After reading it and you are interested in mining then you can find a lot of helpful threads including guides, tips, and hardware in this section. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0

There are a lot of scammers in this world either in fiat or in crypto. You must be vigilant. And put it into your mind that everything you find here in crypto is a scam unless proven legit. Upon reading the White Paper you will find out that there is no such thing as referrals in order to earn Bitcoin.

Jalen is the highest-paid Knicks player right now. He is also older than most of the core young teams. Maybe he can be their captain bull although there's also Derrick Rose on the team. New York is now full of very talented young players yet they also have a huge cap space which means they are also capable of bringing a superstar into the team. But right now, their main guy is Randle and Barrett though they are not that experienced when it comes to playoffs. Maybe they can also try acquiring any of the remaining stars in Utah; Bogdanovic, Clarkson, and Conley.

I'm looking for ETH to cross $2000 by the end of September. Merge will be successful. I can't find any big hindrance for the upgrade to fail especially when it has the support from the community and the tests were successful too.

I'm actually looking forward to ETH reaching $10,000 in the next major crypto bull run. But this is another topic to be made. I'm just getting excited once the merge is done and the fees get lowered.

No way Bivol is scared of Ramirez. It is true that Ramirez's title shot at light heavyweight took so long but it is not Bivol nor Beterbiev's fault. Matchroom and Top Rank would've been happy matching their champions against the more popular Ramirez. It is more reasonable if Oscar Dela Hoya was trying to buy more time for Zurdo as WBO, IBF, WBC, and lineal champion Artur Beterbiev is getting older. IMO, Bivol was never the main target at light-heavyweight.

But somehow I'm glad the WBA was able to mandate this fight. Bivol-Ramirez is the more doable fight as both are with DAZN whereas Beterbiev is with ESPN.

Meanwhile, the Betebiev-Yarde fight in the UK was postponed after the champion was injured. The fight was expected to happen early next year. That sucks.

I had a great day yesterday as I went 2-0 with my Polaris and T1 bets. I thought Ana would fucked up my bet when he played Marci as a core. It worked though as they were able to finish the game early but I still doubt Marci's capability as a core during long games. Topson looks like he is not yet at his best form after he was losing in the mid-lane during the laning period. But I was happy to see them finally play together. They looked relaxed, calm, smiling, and confident. If they can perform flawlessly in this qualifier then they are ready to mess with the top teams at TI.

I was watching game 2 of Neon and Atlantis. At first, I thought Neon was playing smart, but it seems the opposite. I don't understand why they were all at home when Atlantis was the one pressing them. They could have sent even 1 or 2 heroes to the bottom lane to stop the siege and be on the offensive again. What a waste. I'm curious how game 3 looks like after that demoralizing defeat.

Until now I am still surprised that Marshall remained a slight favorite over Shields. But I'm not taking advantage of the odds since I am a bit annoyed with Shields' trash-talking so I want Marshall to knock her out. I just see Shields as my odds favorite because she's a 2 time Olympic gold medalist. Although Shields' lost to Marshall before in the amateurs, she might be stronger, faster, and more technical this time. We will see if Marshall's high KO ratio can change the tempo of this fight.


The other unification between these 2 pretty and sexy ladies, Mayer and Baumgardner have a more exciting build-up as both continued their verbal assaults on each other, unlike Marshall who's a silent type of person.


This is the latest after their fight was moved to October next month. I think the changing of schedule will benefit Baumgardner a bit as the taller Mayer will have to spend more time making the weight limit.

Hot topics are still about the Lakers, Lebron, AD, and Russ.

1 more month to go and the new season starts. I honestly would like to see Russ traded so the Lakers will have a strong line-up with no excuses if they can't compete on top. But I agree with the odds, the Boston Celtics are the real favorites next season with even more additional acquisitions for this season. My main focus will be on the 76ers and T'wolves though. I am just super curious about how the new twin towers perform when the league is currently going smaller.

Any NBA ESPN or Yahoo Fantasy player here?

Pacquiao's legacy will be very very difficult to match. I don't even think it can be matched in a hundred years. There's a 7 division champion in women's boxing which is not that highly competitive some years ago, unlike men's boxing. Women's boxing just started to become highly competitive with the arrival of its own superstars and stars like Katie Taylor, Claressa Shields, and Mikaela Mayer.

I believe Inoue can win a title in super-bantamweight. The featherweight division would likely become his limit due to his size and his age. Mid 30's athletes' bodies will change some slowly while others are quick to catch up. Inoue at over 33 years old will lose some of his quickness and strength. He may continue to become a champion like Usyk, Crawford, GGG, and Beterbiev because these people are extraordinary but that doesn't mean they didn't depreciate.

There are always positive and negative effects on everything even if that something is intended for good purposes. Mobile gambling is supposed to make it easier and more convenient for people to gamble instead of needing to come into a land-based casino or the need to operate a computer.

That is why we also have governments to manage and decide based on research. So I cannot blame the Chinese government for taking a ban on casinos and gambling. It protects its people from possible addiction and loss of huge assets but at the same time, it deprived the people to gamble. The rich Chinese though can travel to nearby Macau and other countries if they want to gamble.   

Of course, it is the abusers that are to be mainly blamed. But casinos being abused are also part of the blame even if they are innocent because they are supposed to make it clear that promotions are should be free from possible abuses. Fraudsters are everywhere and they will take advantage of every possible way they can.

This is also the reason why many casinos wanted to implement KYC. But another option is to let non-KYC clients gamble but exempted from some promotions that are difficult to track.

Good inspirational share OP.

Just for clarity. You mentioned that you invested worth $10,000 from your $300 monthly salary. That's like 2 years and 9 months of savings without even touching a single amount from your salary? I am just confused because you hinted that you came from a poor family so it is hard to imagine putting all your monthly salary into savings. Unless you worked as a delivery guy for like more than 5 years before investing in bitcoin so you can save half of your monthly salary?

Congrats anyway OP. We look forward to the next bitcoin ATH that will change more lives again in a positive way.
