Updated record 4(W)-3(L)..... 57%

Good start by the Lakers but like their previous match ups, Lakers still collapse in the 2nd half.
Once the Nuggets figure out the right adjustment, it seems like the Lakers have no more answer and that's what we witness in that game. I even thought they'll win but turns out they loss and unable to cover the handicap.

Let's jump to the upcoming games anyway.

Miami +14
I think Boston is just too overvalued to give this high handicap on a team that beat them in the regular season with the same line up.

Dallas -2.5
I like them to take the first win, no Leonard in this game and the Dallas are currently on a great run, it should continue here.

Pelicans +8.5
No Zion but they proved they can win, so I like taking them with this high handicap against a young OKC team.

In short, majority of these traders act like gamblers so it makes sense why they fail to attract merits in this technical board. However, there are still few widely experienced traders who are certainly getting consistent merits in trading, simply because they were enhanced as real traders in the market, and have absorbed completely the real essence of trading and how it can be highly successful and productive. The rest are just random gamblers who hide their identity as somewhat traders.

Right, high fees are currently annoying so most probably, beginners will also be bothered and won't create new transactions these days, good thing for them so they won't end up with new ways of scams. That's why being aware how this halving works and how scamming gets highly visible these days are crucial, so that you won't be trapped in such scam situations to the point of losing everything what you have in your wallet. Being cautious and vigilant are the keys.

They beat the Bulls but the Celtics is a different animal, they have their best season and they'll not gonna repeat what happened last year. And with the recent report about the injury of Butler, as we can see....

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/heat-star-jimmy-butler-has-sprained-ligament-in-knee-will-be-sidelined-several-weeks-3/

That means the Heat are gonna be playing with Jimmy Butler, can they win with the current line up, yes but the chance is very slim.

Got it perfect, I  really like when a team got underestimated too much because they don't have their star beacuse they won most of the time, or at least cover the spread. and let's get this going.

1- Cleveland -5
I will continue to trust the Cleveland playing geat at home, the spread is just right, not a trappy one so let's get this one.

2-Suns +1.5
They are the better team for me IMO, their playoff experience will start in this game and if this will be a close game, I think the Suns are gonna steal one game on the road.

3.Lakers+7
Everyone is probably expecting that the Nuggets are gonna win this game easy, I say it's going to be a close game and the Lakers might even win. I think Lebron understands how important is game 1, so expect a very physical game.  Just a side bet but not counting it on my record, I like the under  223.5.

Exactly. Trading is certainly not for everyone who dream of having it, but only for those who have the knowledge and skills, and good experiences in the market. While it's free to trade in the market as long as there are sufficient funds, but you know it's a lot different if you enter trading without knowing than those who trade with high experiences. Aside that you can't be profitable in trading, it can also leave you frustrated and depressed once you push yourself to engage in trading.

Yes, some may still own newbie position but that doesn't mean that they are still new in the market, or their knowledge about crypto is limited. And their posts in the forum proves it as they can also be as knowledgeable as other long time forum members. Hence, this is just the same that newbies these days will not limit their posts in certain boards, but as long as they have something relevant to say, they will make it as their asset so they will be noticed in the forum. Something that OP may have misunderstood because in reality, newbies may only be visible in the forum the moment they start contributing for the benefit of other members, even if these certain boards suggested by OP are not posted.

Certainly yes. Bitcoin is the most trusted asset all over the cryptocurrency market, so it deserves to be the  greatest and highly profitable crypto asset in the whole universe. And to think that it has been here for more than a decade and still creating a positive progress throughout its existence, then that must be something that bitcoin has to be proud of. And as one of its solid investors, I’m loud and proud to say that bitcoin is highly an exceptional one.

If you are going to purchase the whole bitcoin, everyone will say it’s actually highly expensive. So you need to wait for a market to become bearish. However, the thing is you don’t need you to buy the whole of it as a beginner, but learn to start with a small portion instead. That way, you won’t be pressured waiting for the bearish price. Don’t think that you are late in entering bitcoin investment, the bull run has just started so you can always decide to enter the market as long as you have a sufficient amount to start buying bitcoin.

He will be tired if he keeps guarding Jokic one on one but they could not double him because Jokic is good in finding an open man and we know that this team are good 3 point shooters. It seems like they had already found the formula of winning with balance offense and defense. And honestly, despite of the hype of the Lakers which is expected since Lebron is popular, I have to look at the real performance of the team to know which one is the better team.

The Lakers pick was so easy, I didn't even sweat watching the game although it was close at some point. But man, the Warriors vs Kings, that was a big disappoinment and I believe that the Warriors are done, they need to rebuild.

Moving on the coming games, there will be a one day rest before that but I have my early picks.

1- Miami Heat

2-Pelicans.

I will be updating the spread once it's out and the reason why I choose theses teams.

I don’t think at such a young age he will be able to understand financial advices unless if he gets good education about financial aspects. He should become mature at least in dealing with financial decisions so that he will be more able to perceive financial advices more positively. If he can hire a professional financial adviser that will help him throughout his decision making, I really think that would be great. Digging into financial aspects is not easy, unless if he has been exposed into financial decision making while his parents are still alive.

Bitcoin is good without altcoins, and altcoins are definitely not a distraction to bitcoin’s adoption. Most probably, we are still seeing a late bitcoin adoption because the people are just starting to recognize bitcoin, it’s advantages and disadvantages. But we all know that the world is actually heading for its bitcoin global adoption slowly, until majority of the countries learn to accept and legalize bitcoin, and use it in their everyday life. I know bitcoin process is getting there, so we just have to be patient since bitcoin itself is still young and have not totally matured yet.

It's unlikely that he'll break the achievement  of Pacman because Inoue stays long in a certain division and will wait until he become an undisputed champion. In fact, he is already an undisputed champion in the super bantamweight and yet he is still not moving up. Well, hopefully this will be his last fight because the more he moved, the bigger the challenge he'll surpass.

if he'll move to 126 lbs, I think he can still become an undisputed champion, but at 135 lbs... it's where I can say his chance is 50-50 because Davis and Stevenson is in this division.

That's why we should not easily be convince. Inoue is undoubtedly great, he is called as a monster for a reason, and no one has ever defeated him yet.  I think he is just enjoying the current division where he could really dominate, hopefully he'll take higher risk challenging those great champions on the higher division for bigger paycheck too.

The truth is, we lose in the long run, so the more we gamble, our chances of winning is decreasing, going all in is better than slowly gambling, because since it's not fun to do all in, that's why it's not advisable, except if you really think of it as an strategy, but most gamblers don't do all in.

We value in the entertainment in gambling, so as much as possible, we extend our gambling session and we end up being profitable. That's the truth, so a gambler going all in is just probably being upset and wants to win back his losses quick enough.

Updated record 61(W)-60(L)..... 50% REGULAR SEASON WIN RATE RECORD>
This is the result of my result season betting. Now that it's over, I'm closing this and would start a new record for the playoffs (that includes the play-in).

More exciting games coming ahead as we have arrive to the best part of the season. So I'm hoping you guys will have a profitable betting journey.
As for the first 2 play-in games, here's my prediction.

Lakers -1
They just won and dominated the Pelicans, they should be able to do it again.

Warriors -2
Hopefully Curry will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors are more experience so they'll get this win.

The current price dips is already a big opportunity to enter the market for newbies, but it would be more attractive if the price would drop even more so that even old investors will continue to DCA and create a maximum purchase. However, those who are new in the market and have bought bitcoin when the price is quite high must be real panicking at this moment but knowing this is just temporary so they should not feel highly pressured now because it would only push them to create wrong decision that they might only regret later on.

Just buy and hold. Stick with your plan so you can finally achieve your goal while the current market condition is giving you huge opportunity to make it happen.

If gambling is not really for you, you should consider gambling as a way of having fun alone. Nowadays, with the popularity of online casinos, you don't need your friends to gamble as you alone can already gamble in front of your smart phone or PC, and because of that, sometimes you get tempted to bet more because you lose control, it's really different when you are enjoying with your friends as you can only do it occasionally,  but nowe we can do it even on a daily basis, depending on your budget. 

In reality, most of us are not lucky, at least in the long run, so we have to choose if we stay and consider it as a serious money maker as only few had succeeded while most of us fail. I'm taking about making a living in gambling, yes it's possible as long as you have skills.

This is how matured gambler thinks. We have expereince gambling already and we know it's hard to win, in fact most of us losses in the long run, so that thing called "easy money" that is being broadcast by the streamers is just a way to attract gamblers to sign under their referral, or they are just paid by a certain casino that they are promoting. We are not born yesterday,  we know the truth in gambling, and it's too risky that we should not be too overconfident especially on games that are only won by luck.

This is the reality, no matter how fast our internet or how we believe that we will have an edge, it is not gonna happen. Before casino build this game, they already know that the edge is on them, regardless on how small, it's stil the end, and the more gamblers are playing, that will make them more profitable as they make more money on volume of gamblers. So if we think that we should be playing in this casinos becasue people are winning, that's a myth as casino would not stay active if they are losing money.
