1701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Tony Harrison vs Tim Tszyu - Mar 13, 2023 on: March 06, 2023, 03:39:26 PM
Just another update for this fight, face off already at Sydney Harbour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxr-n6N3W_k

Harrison is taller, but it seems that it's hot in Australia right now and who knows, this might affect him. The odds hasn't change that much though, still Tim Tszyu is the outstanding favorite here. And I see that this is going to be tough for Tim, but in a sense a blessing in disguise if he can come up the victor here as it might serve as a good experience to handle a fighter that beat Charlo. And style wise, I think Tim can win in a grueling 12 round decision, and Harrison doing all the tricks in the book to test Tim, his chin his body and his mental strength.
1702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: March 06, 2023, 03:29:57 PM

In this fight,I expect to see something new from Loma.He has been appearing in the media quite a bit lately and I hope that he will prepare a big surprise for his fans, Loma knows how to surprise in the ring.He needs a resounding victory to talk about him again and I I think he will succeed.

What new things can we expect from him? I thought he had won all his fights after his defeat against Teofimo Lopez, which means he is still the same Loma who uses technical skills in the ring. Haney should be ready for Loma, although he looks strong, Loma is always prepared to face anyone, whether the favorite to win or the underdog.

Good point, if everything that we should expect, it might be that he will be better that his last outing. I mean with the Ortiz fight, we says that it was a different Loma that we have saw, and we have our own speculations as why he performed like that, specially the effects of the war in him, in his psychology. Nevertheless, he took the win and most likely knows what the people is saying specially his critics after that fight. So he must prepared 110% against Haney because it's going to be a different fight, specially that the unified belts is on the line here. But we all know that great and elite boxers rise to the occasion in this fight of high level fight and that could be the case of Loma here.

If might be that Ortiz is:

1. too big for Loma that time, Ortiz looks very much a natural welterweight in that fight, the different is very evident.
2. perhaps Loma hasn't adjusted that time, yeah, maybe he is thinking of his native country, so there is a distraction.
3. not sure as well if his father is in his corner or even train him for this fight. His fighter has guided him throughout his career.

But as you have said, if there is something that Loma can do here, it is to raise his level of fighting because of the stakes. He always said he wanted to unify the belt or at least achieved it. And so with this fight, it could be extra motivation for him. He might be the underdog is this fight, but obviously he will be a live one and Haney can't just be overconfident in this fight, just saying.

Knicks be killing it.  No brunson on the road in Boston, no problem.  Knicks are becoming the team in the east no one wants to face in the playoffs.  History aside this team is winning in so many different ways.  Inside, outside, defense, etc.  Last night's thriller in Boston was amazing.  What a crazy game. Onward and upward from here.  Really think the 3 hole is attainable.

Yes, I thought that they are going to lose this game because they are facing a though team, and it took them 2 OT for the Knicks to squeeze that big win and maintain their position in the East. Just half a game behind the Cavs, but I think they shouldn't be concern of their position for now, just play the best of the remaining games and see how they will go, 3rd good be the highest they can get for now.

The return of Steph was spoiled by the Lakers, they cut the lead by 2 by Donte's two assists, but then Davis put the game for good. 39 big points for Anthony Davis.

And finally the curse of Russell Westbrook was broken, finally won against Memphis without Ja Morant start of his 2 game suspensions. Not sure if this is just the beginning for Morant or he might serve longer suspension because of that video.

We really like to play gambling online , and there are lot of crypto gambling sites out there ,
many times i doubted the provably fair system,  that these casinos are cheating me, but what can i do ,
i come across this YouTube video that a biggest gambling site supervisor telling the truth about these sites,
that they analyze our bets and try to make us lose ,
what are your thoughts ,
i know provably system but many times i doubted it, i don't know this person is talking about crypto gambling or not but may be it also applies in crypto gambling.
most of you also may doubted the casino ,
video:https://youtu.be/ABj7peI_R2M

It's gambling per se, you everything is base on luck, and of course there is what we call the house edge - a inbuilt mechanism in casinos that will give them favor, specially in you play long hours and it's going to be very difficult to beat than, unless you are "Lucky".

For provably fair system, you will have to check every casino on how they get the result in let's say a roll of a dice to see if it is really random or not. And if you know you are going to lose, then why gambling in the beginning? My point is that you have to understand how casino operates before you put your first bet and if you lose then maybe it's not your lucky day, or you may want to check how provably fair that casino is, or at least their games.
1705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jon Jones vs Ciryl Gane on: March 05, 2023, 11:41:10 PM
I hope you guys took my prediction and put some money on Jones by submission.
Yes this was the logical choice after I saw the official weigh in. The size difference between the two wasn't as big as I had anticipated. Gane's size would have given him that significant edge in heavy striking but I didn't see that.

Good choice on Jones utilizing his well-rounded game.

Yes, the experience of Jones really showed in this fight, better ring IQ and when he started to relax and open up and go for that take down, it was over for Gane.

I will love to see Jones vs Miocic, Jones wanted him and even said that Stipe is better than Gane.

And Dana loves that match up too, so we will definitely see Jones fighting again maybe in December, I reckon.

^ Yes, it's going to be difficult to see another clash of Filipinos, but if Donaire has to do it again, knocking this kid out, then he has to do it.

And there is another one right, Vincent Astrolabio, who seems to be a journeyman but now he is rated in 3/4 bodies and will go and fight for the belt as well. So a lot of Filipinos in this division as it is very suited for their height and weight. Would be interesting if we have 2 out of 4 Filipinos holding the belt, not sure if this has happen before.
Not sure as well, but if remember it right Donaire and Casimero holds same weight right? I mean the time when Casimero still the champ he was with Inoue, Donaire and him, I remember way back that he's challenging Inoue but the monster choose to have a rematch with Donaire and Butler was the one who schedule for Casimero but due to failure to meet the required weight he has been stripped.

Not sure if that's relevant, but anyway, I also wanted to see more Pinoys to hold the belt and be that title holder from this division.

Yes, and Casimero even trash talks Donaire and they almost made it to a fight until it was scrap and then both became friendly.

It's fitting for Pinoy in this weight classes or even the lower division. But it seems that we have lost a some champions already, Magsayo failed in his attempt for a interim belt. Anyhow, at least in this weight class we have two Pinoy vying for a belt so that is good enough for us, and hopefully even 1 win will be huge pride for the country again.

I just smell some shilling on this post, Lol. Both are in a battle in court so how can they be friends and who are going to benefit from this so called friendship?

As for not following Bitcoin, yeah, there are some coins that might not follow lead price of bitcoin but it doesn't mean that some powerful entity are behind it. Just might be for days and then it can go back and follow the price of bitcoin again.

I'm so sorry but I'm not buying this @OP.

I guess when you get something out of a product, not just specially bitcoin, you will definitely feel in love with it. But in any case this is my personal reasons

1. profits, obviously, when you trade or simply hold bitcoin for years, it will give you a huge ROI
2. and with that, you gain financial freedom, as you have the money right now to buy things that you wanted
3. it's the wait, the delayed gratification, in the beginning, I don't have this kind of mentality, but as I mature in this market, I developed this ability, and so I not only apply it in bitcoin, but also in other facets of life
4. Investments, again it's the same, although I have stocks investment prior of me joining the market, but still I learn to diversify my money

Heto lang muna taya ko, medyo alat ako nitong linggong to

Clippers vs Memphis - pagkakataon na ng Clippers na manalo, wala si Ja Morant, may kaso hehehe, -6.5 @1.89. Heto na ang chance ni WB na manalo bilang Clippers,
Magic vs Portland - Orlando -1.5 @1.82, heto naman pukpukan, mahirap din kalaban ang Magic at may silat talaga kaya sa kanila muna ako at masama rin ang laro ni Portland lately, napaka inconsistent.
1710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 05, 2023, 10:31:10 PM
For east I still think that Bucks and Celtics are way too better compared to everyone else. Sure the wins may not look like the difference is staggering, but it is actually much bigger than what it shows there. First of all Bucks missed Giannis and Kris for a long time, so that is one reason, and Celtics had a coaching change at the start of the season after a finals year so that was one of the reasons as well.

All in all I am guessing that the best thing to do right now is to wait and see how they will be during playoffs because during regular season it's obvious that they are one level above everyone else. This is for only east conference of course, there are some good teams coming from west too.

The Bucks are definitely on top and record says what it is but I think the Celtics have holes.  I don't like teams who are reliant on theor outside shooting.  Too many series to get through, a couple cold games and they get booted.  Will be an interesting game tonight Celtics vs knicks.  Knicks defense has been great as of late.  Might not have brunson which will be a huge loss for the Knicks.  East I think it's Bucks tier one.  Tier 2- Philly, Celtics, cavs and knicks.  Tier 3: Atlanta, Miami Toronto.  Then everyone else...yep including the Nets they will probably drop into the play in games.

I think Celtics holes could be their 3 point shooting, they fell in love with it, and so if their outside shots are not going in, they might have a problem with that. As for the Bucks, they obviously have Giannis, but if there is a player that can match his physicality like what Joel Embid did to him in their last game, putting a hard defense on him and bodied him specially in the 4th quarter, then they might lose a game which they did. The question is how many players in the league right now can match up against Giannis in the post?
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 05, 2023, 10:21:03 PM
Here's my pick:

Clippers vs Memphis - I think with Ja Morant out, the Clippers will finally end their losing streak, -6.5 @1.89
Magic vs Portland - Orlando -1.5 @1.82, gonna be fun to watch this game as both teams needed a win
1712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: March 05, 2023, 10:11:13 PM
^^ Right, and if my memory serves me right, he again reinjured his hands against Josesito Lopez. And it was really a tough war coming back from injuries and fighting the likes of Lopez who just wants to throw volume and put a hurt on his opponents, hehehe. And I will say it was really a bad move on their camp to pick him, although they might think that Thurman is soft coming back from a injury picking lesser opponents, but it did back fire on him big time. I'm not saying that Lopez ruined Thurman, but it was really a bad choice.
1713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez on: March 05, 2023, 09:58:15 PM
^^ Yes, that is only one thing if you started at a weight class of like 168-175 lbs, you have to  clean up your division first because you can only go as high as you body will allow you to. Unlike those who have started in much lower class, then can go to 5 division up and become a champion.

Yes, he is taller than Bivol but you can see his body is very different. Bivol seems to be natural 175 lbs, but he says he can go down to 168 lbs. While David physique is somewhat different in my opinion, if he will add pounds to his body, it seems to be more on his "stomach" and not pure muscle. Even at 168 lbs he is more weight around his belly.
1714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: March 05, 2023, 09:48:21 PM
Some people do not agree with the scorecards, as it seems like the gap is very big. Too bad for Magsayo, as he got deducted twice for score violations, but overall, his performance was not convincing, and Figueroa deserves to win. Magsayo needs to train more and probably change his boxing style, as his career is slowly going down.

I definitely agree that Figueroa deserves that win but i don't think the gap on the scorecards is justifiable. In the unofficial scorecards of the commentators, they scored it 114-112 in favor of Figueroa and if not for the point deductions, it could have been a draw in the unofficial scorecards and that point deduction by the ref is also questionable as he did not warn Magsayo not to hold or whatever that warrant a deduction if he keeps on doing it.

Anyways, that's boxing and it's understandable that the ref and judges will favor Figueroa as he is more popular in the US, also Mark Magsayo was not so impressive in that fight.

Congrats to the Figueroa backers here and if my memory is right, that should be 2.xx for Figueroa to win via decision.

I have it 115-111 in favor of Brandon Figueroa. But that scoring though is questionable. Anyways, time to move on, yes Figueroa deserves to win no doubt about it as we have seen he has more left in the tank specially in the championship rounds wherein he step up to finished the show.

I think Magsayo should take a rest for now, back to back lost in very hard to recover from.

Go back to the Philippines for now and reset everything.
1715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: March 05, 2023, 09:16:58 PM
In the beginning there were 3 venues considered for this fight, and then it was cut to 2 when they say that it will be in Vegas, so it's either

a. T-Mobile Arena - 22,000 sitting capacity
b. MGM Grand Garden Arena - 17,000 sitting capacity

So base on that numbers alone, I wouldn't be surprised if T-Mobile will be their obvious choice.

But we will have to see on the press conference.

My picks for tonight.

Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks = Atlanta Hawks Win 2,00 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) vs Philadelphia 76ers = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,84 Odds.
 Sad
Good luck guys.

I'll tail with the Bucks bet mate, I think it will be a hard game against the Sixers, but Milwaukee will maintain their winning streak here.

Kings vs the Wolves - back to back from both teams, but I will give the edge to the Kings playing at home, -4.5 @1.89

Heat vs Hawks - Atlanta 2.5 @1.89.

I'm not going to any parlays tonight.
That ends the streak of the Milwaukee Bucks. Sorry guys, they lost. James Harden and Joel Embiid were both on fire. Plus, the defense on Giannis Antetokounmpo by Joel Embiid especially in the last minute of the game was amazing. He didn't back down, absorbed every bump of the Greek Freak, and stayed on his feet. That was good, I love witnessing strong defense even from offensive guys.

I am 1 out of 2 now. Watching the Kings game right now, adding more bets while they are down by 9. The Wolves offense seems to be getting better as they are dominating a known offensive team like the Kings.

Yeah, I think I'm done right now, not going to chase my loses, I have another loses in another sports  Sad

So bad day for me, it was really a good game between the Bucks and the Sixers, going into the 4th quarter, both Joel and Harden switch gears.

It was really a good defense by Joel on me, maybe trying to send signals to Giannis as well even if they are on the road.
1717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: March 05, 2023, 04:05:59 AM
Round 3 now, I have Magsayo winning the last 2 rounds.

But I still very nervous when Brandon hitting him with counter in his body. But I love what Magsayo is doing, circling the ring and then stopping Brandon by hugging to stop the momentum.

Let's see, it's the start of the round 4. Brandon seems to be eating the power punches of Mark. Hopefully, he will not get tired.

Edit: 3-1 on my unofficial scorecard to Mark Magsayo
Edit 2: Magsayo deducted a point in round for excessive holding. (not good)
Edit 3: Magsayo again losses a point thru excessive holding 11th round, I think that causes him the fight here.

Edit 4: I have Brandon Figueroa winning here, championship rounds belong to him. Hope I'm wrong with my scoring.

It seems to be that this sounds like a pure FUD on the part of the OP.

The OP is a plagiarist, and maybe he uses an AI chat bot, so there's no point in asking him something, because he doesn't even understand what he wrote. FUD or not, we don't need to waste time on these kinds of discussions because they lead nowhere.

Could be true, but we need to counter it contradict it right away so that others won't believed on this news specially for newbies.

So we need to be very careful as there are thrreads that popping up here and there that seems to be just fake news or AI both answers. In any case, for those who are here for such a long time, we are not going to be affected. But it is important to not let this slide on our community without calling what is wrong with this kind of statement.
1719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez on: March 04, 2023, 11:43:30 PM
Based on the recent past with Benavidez and the wins by Plant, I don't think it will be an easy win fight for Benavidez and he could also lose to Plant following he used cocaine in his fights before which is against the rule. I'd place a bet on Caleb Plant as he signed this contract and came ahead to fight out, and I believe that passion pays off so if Benavidez loses to Plant, it'll prove that he used to win his matches due to his drug addiction.

I agree though, but I don't now what is in the system of David right now as he has been bursting with confidence him and his father are really getting into Caleb and they wanted to win a knockout.

And David said that he wanted to go as high as cruiserweight division,

Quote
“So right now, I definitely want to go up to 175,” said Benavidez to Fight Hub TV during a recent interview. “I know I can win the belt at 175.”

I think it’s definitely very possible but right now, my sights are on 68. I want to be unified world champion at 68, go up to 75 and I think it definitely could be a possibility, cruiserweight.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/david-benavidez-rule-out-future-cruiserweight-run--172841

But it will already be difficult to fight at 75 with Beterbiev and Bivol, he has history with Bivol though as they used to be sparring partners in the past. But let's see first if he can deliver what he has been saying in this fight against Caleb Plant.


Hmm, he might be asking too much here, as the expression goes, "biting more than you can chew". He should stay first at 168 lbs and see how his career with go here, it could be his perfect weight, his height and age are good for this class.

If he goes to 175 lbs, not only those two Russians, but maybe those rank boxers could be different to beat as it is their natural weight.

So what's more if he is targeting CW, I think this is due to Jack Badou winning against Makabu that this super middleweight thinks they can jump as high as CW, in my opinion.

We can't really stop him if he sees himself at 175 or as high as 200 but he should know that not everything is attainable even if you're someone that talented is talented enough, no matter what he do, David Benavidez is still a human being with limits. He should explore this current division first and it is just too early for him to say that things because he haven't proved himself yet and become a champion.

Yes we can't stop him, many boxers as well in the past have that ambition to move up in weight and claim the belt. But only few and very gifted athletes have done that in the past, Floyd, Manny, Oscar Dela Hoya to name a few.

Oscar though tasted defeated when he tries to go as high as middleweight and fight his now GBP partner in Bernard Hopkins and get knock out in a body punch. So lets see how far David can go in his career.
