It's because they are arch-rival and they should have fought when Manny is still in his prime. But Mayweather chooses to fight him when Manny was already beaten and so for us he could have at least given Pacman a rematch. And the thing is that even Manny himself said that he wants to fight Mayweather. So his name will always be there for discussions.


And so we wanted for Manny to at least make another fight. I've heard Romero or even Pitbull Cruz? Not sure if Manny wanted to fight either of the two, but if the money is right as I read that he gets close to $20 million and then Barrios at $3 million, then maybe another fight might also be possible for the legend to accept anyone who is more willing to face him to get a good money.

Yes, I still remember one of my dad's friend, who he can't contradict in front because his friend will go against the odds and look for the underdog let's say in a horse racing. But then when you compute all the money that he had lost because of that mentality and then one or two underdog wins, then it is still not enough. But most likely I do agree that most of us might have this kind of thinking, however, I don't know if it is bad or not. There could be argument that it might be good to try it from time to time. But it might not be a smart strategy in the long run as you will really end up losing a lot of money. Might be better though to being smart most of the time and then have the lottery ticket if you just feel like scratching that itch from time to time.

That's why it is said that slot is the worst kind of game for us, because of RTP and the odds are pretty much against us except maybe when you have all the luck in your side. The thing is that it's one of the most played games as the attraction is visual and audio and we all know that as humans we have that kind of liking. And so maybe when we play slots we just rely on our luck to win big or at least risk everything in just a couple of spins and see how it goes. Of course, we prefer high odds, so perhaps games like baccarat or black jack might suit us. I also love to play roulette, high adrenaline, but if there will be games that I would regularly play then it will be baccarat + strategy and you might end up winning big.

Well isn't it what the historical logs of Bitcoin shows? I mean it's a speculated asset for all we know, and then we will have the bear (market is down) and the bull run (price is pumping). Same story with altcoins although we have seen that it has decoupled already with Bitcoin so who knows what's going to happen for them in the long run. But for Bitcoin market, the only thought we have is that we might see super-cycle. But for me it will still be the same pattern or cycle, we will have a huge bull run every 4 years. Supply is going to dwindle overtime and so there will be a race for us and those hedge fund companies to get as much as they can. And as what Saylor preach, just continue to accumulate, the longer the bigger and then HODL. So bubble pops and then the a new cycle begins. Unlike the tulip bubble centuries ago, when it pop, it didn't have the chance to recover because of the circumstances.

I don't think that he will feel humble if ever he get KO'ed the way Francis Ngannou was knockout by Anthony Joshua. We will just reason out that he lost to a bigger and heavier puncher and that he has the balls to face a active heavyweight. Although it might contradict and expose himself that he can only beat up wash up former boxers. But if it will make a lot of money for him, then why not? He has no shame as what you have said, and it's all about the money. Although I might prefer to see a match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in Wembley before any of them announced their retirement.

And talking about the Philippines and SEA in general, here is the data that I found,

I was surprised to see that they have a lot of casinos? More than the Macau itself? So no wonder there are a lot of problems right now in the country as the proliferation of land base casinos and offline casinos are rampant.

We also have a topic a similar topic before, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5543933.0

Nah, you mean there will be tough defense next season? I doubt that, we are already in a era wherein defense is not being played or it's easy to score basket as compare to the era of the 200's. Players now are more of taking long shots even center unlike before. Definitely though I will agree that it's going to be fun and interesting as there are a lot of transfers like Durant going to the Rockets. But there are a lot of star players that are also out, like Haliburton, and Tatum and Kyrie. So there will be someone to step up with that teams. And then the rookies too, maybe we can see that there will be a close fight for that ROTY award this season.

I think it's safe to say that Bitcoin is one of the best investment tool that we have right now. But don't get me wrong, it's not that easy to make a lot of money from it unless you are are early bird investor or holder and didn't sell during it's early years. I would also agree that at least one full bull run holding is good for everyone to test it out how good Bitcoin is. Nevertheless, it's not that easy to do that, unless you really have that mentality and willing to sacrifice and not being tempted to sell when you are in a profit already. So there is no secret formula here, look for the bigger picture and you will all be good. Specially right now that the supply is really dwindling, and with that the price is going to skyrocket in the future, the basic supply and demand in works.

No, I don't think that the novelty will wear off even for people who have a lot of money to burn in gambling. Just look at Drake or Dana White, this two has a lot of money but they still chooses to gambling. Maybe they really wanted to feel the risk or the adrenaline rush when they gamble so they continue. Maybe they will take a break or something, but then will go and continue again. And it's really hard to quit gambling when you have a lot of money. And we all know that there are psychology on gambling itself, for us maybe we are competitive inside and we don't want to lose. So there's a lot of reasons, maybe it's not just about money.

Yes, it's all over the news that Fury is going out of retirement for the Nth time and fight a trilogy with Usyk. Although I will say that the majority of us here could be seeing the same result that Usyk will win. And with what he shows in this fight, who knows, maybe a knockout is now possible as Usyk has power specially with that left hand. But the good thing is that Fury is really close to HE Turki and that's why he is more willing to offer big money for Tyson to fight Usyk again. Actually both of this fighters will get a well deserved paycheck again. But I'm still interested on the Fury vs Joshua fight. I mean both might be in their primes specially AJ. But they have been domestic rivals and so for for all the marbles of it, we wanted to see a all British showdown before they hang up their gloves.

Yeah, at least he was given a contract to show his talent again. Admit it or not, he is a fan favorite because of the manner on giving passes or assists to his team mates. He is small but he can read plays and again a good passer. CP3 and Lillard story, they are going back to their previous teams, and it might be historically good for them as they could retire for good for their old team and most likely their jersey numbers are going to be hang in the rafters. And who wouldn't forget about the Lob City with a prime Blake and those posterize dunks? Love to see CP3 with the Clippers, although I don't think that he will get the minutes as they got Harden. Although I'm thinking if there is still a beef with those two? I mean when they are team mates with the Rockets, it was said that Harden was the one who tells the management that they should get ride of CP3 because on how they've lost the Warriors that time.

Yes, I do think that Manny was robbed again in this fight, for me he should be ahead in points as he control the latter part of the fight. And I don't think that Barrios leads or did better in the championship fights as others might have suggested. So I can't imagine those two judges, they didn't see that Manny is scoring and getting the better of Barrios. You can see the disappointment on Manny and some of his fans as we all know that he could have really be the winner and his hands should be the only one being raised. I have nothing against Barrios, but as what we have speculated, he is the weakest of the 147 lbs. So he remain the champion, but we will have to see what will be the next stage on Manny. He is still well love by fans around the world and I think he can still give us a good fight.

It's all over guys, Usyk proved his superiority again by knocking out Dubois in the 5th round. And when we thought that Dubois will make it a great fight, it seems that Usyk went on another level and deliver one of his best performance with that left hook that sent Dubois in the canvass twice. So there is no debate right now as who is the best heavyweight in this era. And with this win, Tyson Fury might be wanting to continue his retirement.  . Although there is a report already that there will be a 3rd fight between the two but we might consider that it will still be the same result. But this time Fury might lose via knockout. I just look at the votes and it seems that this is one of those fights that most boxing fans here got it wrong as most of us voted for Dubois to win.

Yes, that was the latest news that I saw, Smart is going to the Lakers and it was said that this is what Luka has suggested to the management to bring a tough defender. I think the Lakers needed this type of player in their roster. Someone that is tough specially if the game is on the line. Smart is not just a defender but he can also score if needed. So I think this is a good move for them, from getting Ayton, to signing Hayes. In any case, I'm still waiting if there will be a team that will go and get Chris Paul? It will be good if he can retire as a Clipper though.

Well there are other options not just ML and I think most of us here might take a big risk on that. Maybe per rounds, or round range, or if the fight is going to end on KO or by decision. It's because that Usyk is the undisputed HW champion right now, all belts belong to him but Dubois is like a new and trying to make a new for himself by fighting Usyk. This is not the first time that they are going to fight. The first fight though ended up in controversy, so a rematch should happened. And this is a win win for fans, as we will also seen another great fight in this date. I haven't check the time though, but I'm hinting that the Usyk vs Dubois fight might happen earlier than the Pacquaio vs Barrios fight. Maybe some bettors here might have a plan to do parlays to increase the odds.

I think that is the key here, we really need to take a break from gambling as it will have a positive effect on us. Specially mental health, as many of us could have been symptoms of depression when we are in a losing streak. I mean it's hard to get off the bed when you suffered consecutive losses, like when you play online and you are are unlucky and then you go out with your friends and try land base casinos, but still no luck. So with that, it's better to really just stop and then try to control yourself not to lose anymore and then just get back the confidence that you once had in your life without the any gambling noises.

Here are the weigh-in, including the undercard, and yes, it's a good undercard that they put up before the Pacquiao vs Barrios.

I don't know but what can you say about Manny's physique? It is still the same as before? Seems to be though that his abs is not as defined as it used to be. So maybe that is already a sign of aging.

In any case, good luck to those who have put a bet on Manny as he is a big underdog here.

I will till give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they really invest some money on their security, but we all know that this cyber threat will always be there. And we have seen that this criminals are targeting their employees, and do reverse engineering so that they can have access. If there is one thing that they would invest, then it should be in their employees to learn that they are now a target. We can't really avoid exchanges as most of us are trading and wanted to make profits. So we should be trading on exchanges that we know that funds are safe, or at least SAFU so that we can get back our funds although it might not be 100%. But at least their is some compensation and yeah, withdraw your funds right away if you reach some threshold as far as your profit goes.

Pacquiao is the huge underdog and so we understand why some bettors will for Barrios to win this fight. I mean he is young and probably in the prime of his boxing years. As compare to Manny, who is old, admit it or not. You can even see the white hair on Manny, a obvious sign for Asian that they are really that old. And I do believed that most Filipinos are going to bet him for sentimental reasons. Nothing to be ashamed to admit that. But it might be very hard for Manny as he is a long shot unless he still possesses that power and speed that will knockout or knockdown Barrios. And this is the only way that Manny can win, test that chin early and then show his footwork and speed and power. But if there will be fans that are not going to beat because they don't know or don't want to bet on Barrios, then maybe they just want to enjoy this fight.
