901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 24, 2023, 01:05:05 PM
Tapales' promoter is showing pictures of its fighter already in Los Angeles, USA to start its training. So it seems like the Inoue-Tapales undisputed battle is likely to happen. I assume the money issue is already settled and there are only a few details to finalize between the two teams. Otherwise, Tapales and this team are just spending money without a valid assurance. I am still hoping the fight happens in the US to make it neutral for both champions. Maybe Casimero can fight in the undercard to make the event more exciting.

902  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney on: August 24, 2023, 12:39:41 PM
All right, so here is the reason why Devin and his dad wanted to move the fight date earlier. For me, it makes sense to move the date otherwise they will go head-to-head against Tyson Fury's fight against Francis Ngannou. I mean this fight is the better match-up but most likely only for the boxing hard cores. But it is still a bitch move not consulting Regis Prograis especially since he is the defending champion. They can move the fight to a later date like a week or 2 after the Fury-Ngannou and not before that.




The Tyson Fury fight is in the early afternoon so there really shouldn't be a scheduling conflict. We often see that when there is a big fight in Europe or the Middle East, promoters will still schedule events for later in the day in the United States. It would only be an issue if they also want to make Haney vs. Prograis a pay-per-view fight because people wouldn't want to spend on two different fights in the same day. Neither of these guys is popular enough for this fight to be worthy of being pay-per-view. Haney is just being a diva for whatever reason.

I actually understand why they wanted to move the date. But I think that is not actually necessary to be honest. I believe the Haney fight is going to be a good one anyway. And there is no reason for him to make such a fuss about changing the date.

Obviously, people are going to want to see the other fight. Tyson Fury versus Francis, those two are definitely much more popular. And also will be able to bring in a huge amount of money. Because we got the interest of two worlds, two sets of fans, in this fight.

I assume this fight is on pay-per-view as well. Devin Haney is paid millions of dollars per fight since his fight over Kambosos so I guess a million or two is not enough for him anymore. I remember when Eddie Hearn upon knowing Haney's promotional contract with Top Rank expired mentioned that he is becoming an expensive fighter and that he might not afford his services anymore. So it simply means that his fights are going to be on PPV.

Devin Haney is popular only to hardcore fans and while Prograis is a KO artist, he doesn't have a huge fanbase as well. Fury-Ngannou is a mismatch and is nowhere near the quality of Prograis-Haney but Fury has a huge fanbase and Ngannou might have the backing of the huge MMA community.

Yes, just to be fair with Haney, if he fights Prograis, he should be considered the A-side as he has been fighting good to great boxers and beating them. However, Prograis, may not ring a bell for casual fans, but if you check his record, he is a very good boxer as well and a KO artist and he almost beat the last unified 140 lbs champion in Josh Taylor.

And that's what make this fight exciting for us, a KO artist in Prograis and then Haney using his defense to his advantage and maybe beat Prograis with that kind of strategy and not allowing himself to get hit by the power of Regis here. But this should be at least fair for Regis to also get a good money in the purse split as he had the belt here.

Agree. So the A-side here is the challenger. I haven't fully watched the Taylor-Prograis unification fight but the stats are actually favoring Prograis slightly. Prograis keeps talking about wanting a rematch against Taylor or a fight with Ramirez yet he made the opposite move by refusing Top Rank's bigger offer and went to Matchroom.

I wonder if this fight is still a go. I hope this fight goes on. I want to see how Haney fares against a proven champion at 140 while I am also eager to see if Prograis still has it or if he is already declining as seen in his last fight.
903  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you gained anything after the end of bull run? on: August 24, 2023, 12:10:00 PM
I just started accumulating altcoins slowly starting this year and so far it is still losing. Not a problem though as I am making a monthly DCA on altcoins as well so it is either I can average down or average up. My bitcoin DCA started only last December last year and it is having a good gain as I started purchasing at $15k.

I also have little holdings since 2021 and of course, they're also losing. But I have trust in bitcoin, ethereum and bnb so it's not an issue for me. The only thing I regret is when I invested in new projects in late 2021 and they're totally wrecked and I doubt they can recover. Some of the new projects I invested in late 2021 are scams since the devs left already.
904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - Nov 15 on: August 24, 2023, 11:46:18 AM
This is a good fight.

Ancajas have defended his IBF belt for 9 times which mean he was a strong boxer, but later he lose two times against Martinez make me feel he's not that strong. On the other hands Takuma ever lose once against Nordine Oubaali, one of the best boxer at that time, so it's still understandable.

I don't expect KO in this match, so I guess Takuma will win via decision.

Same here. I also voted for Takuma Inoue by decision. As much as I would like to see Jerwin Ancajas getting another belt, I just see nothing special in him anymore. There is nothing new to him anymore which is not good as his opponents already read his moves and style. I wish he could demand a change of trainer so he can learn new tricks and strategies but I guess he is not the one deciding for his own career. I also do not like people around him vlogging. Jerwin's only chance of winning here is to hurt Takuma or much better if he stops him. Maybe set up a counter hook because I felt like Takuma would try to hurt or KO Jerwin.

Takuma Inoue is one hungry champion eager to prove that he is also a good fighter just like his brother. He should be able to win an easy decision here unless he tries to go toe-on-toe with Jerwin or he gets reckless.

908  Other / Meta / Re: Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny on: August 23, 2023, 11:20:56 AM
I am unsure if this is a shit post or a shame, but I found it funny in the Games and Round sections. The poster is pretty much active in the Games and Round section, but he probably did not pay attention when he wrote this.

a. Draw
b. 0-0
c.  None
d. Over
e. No
f.  87'

If you didn't catch what is the funny thing, let me explain to you. He predicted the match would be drawn by 0-0 goal. Also, he expected the first goal to be scored in the 87th minute of the game Grin Grin . The match result was 0-0, and he could be the winner only if he did not write the goal minutes.

I used to do something similar in sportsbet predictions.

I don't watch football, but just to take part and in hope for getting lucky I'd write random stuff up. Ofc this didn't work out and op of those threads banned me from participating altogether.

Yeah, I felt shame when I read the DM.

Lol! That's just a funny pick by Slissy. But pretty sure the guy knows his football. I used to play with him in the Qatar World Cup tournament last year. And I remember he was one of the participants that entered the round of 16. He's probably torn between a 0-0 or a possible late score which finally made him decide to just put a time on the first goal which made his prediction look funny. So I guess he was exempted from being banned by Jeremypwr.
909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 - Betting and Discussions on: August 23, 2023, 10:11:24 AM
unfortunately, there's no live streaming available for this game. It appears to be a closed-door game once again.
Was it for most of the teams that are having tune up games that there's no way to watch a stream? I think there's a definite reason why they're keeping it closed doors so that these practice or tune up games are well protected and kept private in preparation for their actual games soon.

These teams are trying to figure out their playing styles, team chemistry and looking for their bad habits. So they are not exposing their games to the public. Otherwise, the rest of the teams especially their team group mates will have their own staff assessing it and will identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Anyways, just two more days before the official start. I'm looking forward to the opening game between betting favorites Australia against Finland. Looking forward to Lauri Markkanen and his gang pulling an upset against the Aussies who will compete with a lot of NBA players.
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: August 23, 2023, 09:50:54 AM
Everything matters when it comes to the betting odds. I always consider the betting odds as the best when it comes to results assessments unlike mainstream media and other personalities talking about everything yet they are not putting their money where their mouth is.

Star players have the biggest effects on the betting odds. Just imagine Lionel Messi not playing for Argentina in the World Cup's final game? Or let's say Kylian Mbappé didn't play in the finals. Star players are being valued and assessed regularly so their effects level on the betting odds varies from time to time. A star player might be playing but if he is reported to have an injury then chances are the odds favoring his team will be lessened depending on how serious the injury is.
911  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Helped Create Big Changes In Your Life? on: August 23, 2023, 09:30:04 AM
Bitcoin changed my life. Crypto in general to be honest. Because of my investments which grow at an unexpected level, I was able to quit my regular job. One thing I do not like about having a regular job is that I am a night owl. I also have insomnia so I do not like to wake up early in the morning, prepare myself and then travel to my office. Not saying I don't need to work because, after all the failures to establish a business, I need to work to support myself although I decide on my own working time. I also made the biggest financial mistake of my life last late 2018 when I sold all my bitcoins in the $3k to $4k range fearing it might continue to drop down in value. No regrets though, what's done is done. Now I am starting back from scratch but very optimistic that I can get lucky again in the next bull run. So you are not late OP, I might be here for years already but I looked like a newbie just like you. Don't forget to DCA mate. Good luck to us. 
912  Economy / Economics / Re: Which problem will you choose to solve? on: August 23, 2023, 09:10:43 AM
When I was still a young kid studying, I used to think about becoming a useful human being by contributing something. There were times when I think about how to solve problems and issues be it world, national, or local level. I think about how important and how to become important in this world. And then I graduated college, got my first job, and grow mature. What did I learn? I learned about thinking about myself, building my own career, and being successful with it. As the years go by, we have our own struggles in life.

So it's like we need to become very successful first before giving a fck about the problem of the rich and even the poor. Only when you become successful that you deserved to speak about solutions for the rich or the poor. Otherwise, it's just talking without walking.
913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 23, 2023, 08:49:30 AM
Yes of course. But it is actually on a case to cases basis. Older people with less interest in technology are the hardest to teach. My father is interested in investing but is not into technology and the internet except Youtube and Facebook. Until now he still did not understand what bitcoin is about. So I also explain to him a bit if he asks. I am managing some of his investments in stocks which he understands a little since those companies with stocks are tangible like banks, food companies, real estate, and the telecommunication industry.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 22, 2023, 07:43:23 PM
So it's a few more days before the 2023 FIBA World Cup starts. At least NBA and basketball fans, in general, can once again watch NBA stars play. There are a lot of NBA stars representing their countries, headed by Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic. I haven't seen the odds yet but it's pretty interesting to see if the USA will retrieve the gold after failing to reach the final top 4 in the last FIBA World Cup. France, Australia, and the USA are probably the best picks to win the tournament but I love upsets to make the event more thrilling and exciting.

916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 22, 2023, 06:11:42 AM

Rolly cannot hold his belt for long because he is the easiest of all the champions. Maybe what PBC wants here is to let another PBC fighter take the belt rather than lost it to rival networks and promotions. Ohara is now with GBP and DAZN so Al Hymen is trying to manipulate the system once again.

For sure Rolando Romero doesn't know what he is talking about, that he can attain a level like Manny Pacquiao he looks like he has Autism sorry about people that has Autism I surely never view this kind of thing negatively but Rolando Romero is like an Autistic dude that still remained in his childish ways, for sure if he fought Ryan Garcia this will surely end his reign for sure,

Rolando Romero is just a talkative person. And talkative people at times just talk and talk without even thinking. Maybe Romero has ADHD, who knows? But his confidence is at the other level. He is a very funny guy and probably thought he is handsome. He said Pacquiao has the ugliest style in boxing and that Tank Davis looks like a koala. He also said he felt bad that Devin Haney was born with poor genetics like having a big nose and being very ugly. Yet there was a time when he called Devin his son and that he is the biological dad. After his knockout lost to Tank at 135, he said that he is big in the division so he wants to move up 2 divisions at 147 and fight Errol Spence. He said 140 is a no-name division yet he is now campaigning at 140 with a belt gifted to him by the WBA and PBC.

He doesn't deserve a belt, PBC and corrupt WBA worked their magic to give him the title. He was knocked out at 135 by Tank and then he moves up to 140 for a vacant WBAbelt against an old man who gave him life and death but only for the referee to stop the fight favoring him. As Crawford said, boxing is one of the most corrupt sports if not the most corrupt.


Meanwhile, Sugar Sean O'Malley made a huge upset last weekend and became champion in the UFC. So it seems like the guy wants to cash out big time while he is still a champion by challenging Tank Davis in a boxing match. And then Ryan Garcia responded. Cheesy

Nah, I won't pay for betting tips. I'd seen it many times and just like you who'd been losing a lot before, it could also happen to that paid sports betting channel. Remember, luck is not always on our side. So as long as you have the time to do your own research and follow your favorite teams and players then you should be fine. There are many threads here that discuss soccer and basketball and many are also sharing their bets. You can start comparing their pick to yours. You can also observe their bets so you can identify who's always winning and who's not.
918  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY WITH LESS MONEY? on: August 21, 2023, 04:36:41 PM
So is this based on your experience OP or you're just sharing information taken from someone? It's easier said than done. Seriously, go for meme coins? Do you even realize that there are thousands of meme coins created already but then how many of them stay with value? I know Doge, Shiba and maybe we can include Pepe among the many meme coins where many investors earned big. But what is the % of success? Is it 3 over 10,000 meme coins? Imagine throwing $150 monthly hoping for a meme coin to pump without any good reason. That money would've been $1,800 for a year. And if you invested it in bitcoin, ethereum, and other altcoins that are performing in the last cycles then it'll probably be worth $10k or more in a bull run. And also, it is very important to diversify to protect your hard-earned funds.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 21, 2023, 04:15:09 PM
Enough about James Harden. I think I've found an interesting topic to discuss.

Pelicans star Zion Williamson shows off new look in viral photos

Take a look at these viral pictures. What can you say about his appearance? He has been criticized for being overweight, with some suggesting that his weight is the reason he is prone to injuries. However, when you look at this 'scary man' now...



Wow, with that weight and still have that speed on him that might be for real, a scary monster that can eat you alive when facing you in a one on one.

Hopefully, he will maintain that body plus the skills that we all know he got when he step inside the court,
he was being criticized for being an overweight, now we will see his determination and maybe he might
complete a season without another injury(crossing fingers.)

At least we've seen some good news from him. The last time I heard about him was when he impregnated a porn actress. Cheesy

Looking at the picture, he's got toned muscles already. That's an improvement already. Although his weight is still very important even if he transformed his fats into muscles because his legs cannot hold for long if he is very heavy. So we're also hoping that he lost significant weight before he starts playing this season. He is still very young and his talent is extraordinary so the fans are really excited to see him healthy for the whole season.
920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What's the best Altcoin for this moment to accumulate right now? on: August 20, 2023, 12:41:38 PM
So it's my first time buying Doge for a year or two hold or maybe even more. I'm just trying to take advantage of the current dip although there is no assurance that this won't stop going down. I also bought a fraction of bitcoin during this dip.

So at the moment I already have Syscoin, Eth, Bnb, Gala, Chainlink, and Doge. Bitcoin remains 50% to 70% of my crypto portfolio. But I am also starting to weigh in if I could add more altcoins in my portfolio as they have the highest chances of increasing in the next major bull run.

Yes. right, and today is still very big discount. I finally got confused what to buy. I like the fundamentals but I'm also tempted by new altcoins..as you said there are huge opportunities if we choose and invest correctly.

The best thing to do is to just diversify mate. Say a maximum of 5 coins. You can buy 1 or 2 new altcoins and then the other 3 coins will be bitcoin and the other altcoins that are already at the top or at the very least continues to thrive like Syscoin. Syscoin is an old coin that is continuously being traded by the top exchanges and it also has decent trade volume so chances are slim of it getting delisted. Syscoin is also establishing its own all-time highs every 4-year cycle just like bitcoin. I am not promoting it, just stating it as an example of the coin that I am risking for possible high returns in the next bull run.
