1001  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does Nvidia's Result bring a positive impact on Bitcoin? on: August 24, 2023, 04:17:15 AM
As others have said, not sure if there is some correlation about Nvidia stocks and latest news to the bitcoin market. Stocks and bitcoin could have had correlations before, but it's moot that we can't say for certain.

For the bounce back to above $26k, I guess it's the biggest support line that's why bulls try to defend it at all cost pushing it at the current price of $26,430. And if we are going to correlate every news to bitcoin whether positive or negative, then for me it's a bad idea as nothing is for certain in this highly volatile assets.

I guess you have to do your due diligence, what I meant is that you should also play on casinos that has a reputation here in our community. Similar when you go out and play to land based casinos, there could be some casino that are like 3 or even 2 stars and so you should avoid.

The good thing about our community though is that it is very open, and the moment they see a casinos scamming here, they will be quickly called out and even worst there could be scamming accusations and so they will have a bad rep here and members are going to stay away from that platform for good.

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.

Finland is a huge underdog with odds of 5.25 and an Asian Handicap of +9.5. Taking the moneyline odds is quite attractive if you truly believe that an upset could happen here. Although Australia boasts many NBA players, this is a world cup, and every game matters. Chemistry will play a significant role in this match.

Personally, I would consider betting live, as I have a feeling that Finland might be competitive in the early quarters but could falter in the second half. So, I'm considering either -5.5 or the moneyline if the odds are favorable for Australia.

Yeah, make sense to betting live in this tournament, there could be a lot of surprises as we all know that this players are representing their country, so we might discount that odds and maybe we will see some underdogs winning games and if we by chance go and bet on them, we might have a good winnings.

And if Australia has a lot of NBA players, then yeah, I would agree to what @wheelz1200, maybe they could land on a good spot in this tournament. But obviously, US team will be favorite here, but it will not be easy for them to just steam roll others teams even if they are composed of NBA players.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Canelo-Charlo winner (no date yet) on: August 24, 2023, 03:18:42 AM
If it happens two years from now when Canelo is in the twilight of his career then I'll go for Crawford but if this happens in May of next year then no doubt I'll go for Canelo as Crawford is just too small for him, I mean he needs at least 2-3 fight to prove his worth on the 168lbs division. I think he is just calling Canelo as this is a money fight for him of the latter took the bait.

We might want to note that Canelo is younger than Crawford. Canelo is almost 3 years his junior. If this dream fight happens two years from now, Canelo is indeed approaching the twilight of his career. Crawford, on the other hand, is already approaching 40. Age is probably one of the reasons why Spence was running away and delaying his fight against Crawford. That's an off-topic opinion, though.

It would be an amazing moment in boxing's history if this fight takes place, especially if the two remain on a winning streak when the match happens. Crawford will, however, prove his worth in 154 first. If he proves to be effective and natural in this weight, and wins fights, then he could allow his body to continue gaining weight and reach 168. But he shouldn't be confronting Canelo right away. It would be the same process. If he proves that he can handle the weight naturally, without compromising his movements, quick responses, and so on, then he could face Canelo.

As to their physical stats, they're pretty much the same. Crawford has, of course, a longer reach though.

Canelo struggled against Mayweather, who is a good defender and quicker as well. Probably, Crawford sees the weaknesses of Canelo, as although he has power, he can be outboxed, as was evident in the fight against Bivol. The match might be even in the eyes of the fans. Although Crawford is not fighting in his comfortable weight, given his achievements, his undefeated record, and the hype generated when he beat Spence in a one-sided beatdown, all these factors will come into play.

For now, Canelo still has business to take care of. It might be a bit early to discuss, but at least we can have an open discussion about the possibility of this fight happening. I'm sure both camps are eager to make this happen, as it could be the biggest payday for both fighters. Who knows, they might even surpass the PPV revenue generated by Mayweather in his fights.

As fans, it would really satisfy us to see the best fighters in the ring, with no excuses or dodging. They will prove who is the best.

To be fair with Canelo, he as sort of a rookie that time and Mayweather was at his prime that's why Canelo really looks amateurish agains the defensive Floyd that he can't hit him with power punches.

We will see, yes he has Charlo up on his plate, but everyone is giving Charlo a slim chance to beat Canelo Alvarez. And once Alvarez won, we will see if he is willing to fight Crawford or will PBC have him fight another boxer like Benavidez or even Jermall Charlo, the original Charlo that he should have fight.

Can't blame starters to get scared about the current condition of bitcoin since no one like to see how the market move in negative direction but they should know that there are some ways that can make them avoid losses and that is.

In my opinion this is the few best things that need to consider.

Hodl since the only thing they lose is the $ and not the volume bitcoins still 1:1 ratio so this is best to do.

Decision making is also critical since we need to see each situation will occur and if we rush to decide without even thinking the whole point for sure we can lose our funds on simple mistake.

Fund management if they can able to grab for another funds they can set aside their funds experiencing some down turn and use an extra money to play with the market again and earn.

Proper researching by checking data's and news since this is helpful for us to learn.

Most likely it's going to be a big lessons for them, I mean, if you are a starter or beginner here, you are going to be scared to see the price going down to $25k. However, if you are going to closely analyst it, well it's a good thing that this happen this downturn.

For once, the price is going to be cheap and at a discount, second, as I have said, learning curve here, you are going to ask yourself whether to buy and what you are going to do? yes, you are going to HODL on it. So that is another lessons, you need to be a long term to be able to make money in the next bull run.
1006  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will $25,000 give this time? on: August 23, 2023, 11:25:35 AM
Today price dropped again to around $25k, for those who have plan to earn big profit in next 6 months then now is the right time to buy, many analysts believe that bull run will happen at the end of the year and could set a new ATH record , continue to buy and focus on the goal.

Good advise, but only smart investors knows this. The majority if they see the price going down, panics and sell their stash. On the other hand, those who are in the game for so long know that this seldom happens and so they just buy and scoop up bitcoin from those newbies.

So as much as we don't know to see the price going down, it's better to see it and then just take advantage of that situation as it might never come again. Next year will be one bull run so just imagine if you buy today and then most likely makes x5-x10 in the future and that's how money is made here.

Quote
A man experiencing cardiac arrest and who later died was slumped over a blackjack table at Wynn Las Vegas for more than 15 minutes while the dealer continued to deal cards to another player, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed this week in District Court. David Jagolinzer, an attorney from Florida, was staying at the Wynn when he suffered a cardiac arrest on April 6, 2022, while playing blackjack on the casino floor. The dealer at his table continued to deal while Jagolinzer was slumped over, according to a complaint filed Thursday.
https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/lawsuit-dealer-continued-to-deal-with-man-slumped-over-during-cardiac-arrest-2731495/

This happened in 2022 and although I do not know the outcome of the court case, my thoughts are that the discussion about casinos should go beyond security measures to cover how prepared they are in the event of a health emergency . I think that well-equipped First Aid Kit and trained paramedical staff could significantly contribute to ensuring the safety and well-being of casino patrons. Although casinos are primarily places where people go for entertainment and profit, the operators should put in place health emergency measures could potentially mitigate the impact of unforeseen events. On the other hand, I would argue that the family of the deceased is trying to obtain money from the casino. Do you think the casino is to be blamed?

Nah, I don't think that the casinos here are to blame, they are in the gambling industry and we really don't know what's going to happen to us next. Maybe you are eating dinner in a fancy restaurant and then suddenly have a heart attack as well.

Just interesting though what will be the and of the person as it could be called a 'dead mans hand', in black jack now.

As in poker legend, this is known to be a dead mans hand,

Have any of you guys heard of this? https://sports.yahoo.com/nba-fines-james-harden-100000-after-calling-sixers-exec-daryl-morey-a-liar-155935434.html
NBA fines James Harden for harsh comments against the Sixers pres of basketball operations and for demanding a public trade. Rumors says the "liar" statement from James Harden against Daryl Morey is based on the trade talks between the Sixers and the Clippers that Harden wanted to be traded to the Clippers but did not materialized. Now, he will be forced to play again with the Sixers in the upcoming season until the Sixers finds a good pieces to trade Harden to a different team. IMO, this is not a good start for the Sixers and the season has not even started yet. This is going to get uglier as long as the Sixers can't find a way how to get a good trade with James Harden asap.
I heard Josh Harris are trying to convince James Harden to stay with the Sixers to try and win a championship, but I don't think it will work with where they are in this situation right now LOL.

Well if there is already a crack in the relationship between Harden and the management, or even like players to players before the start of the season, it could be a bad sign for that team. Remember the case of Jordan Poole and Draymond Green, I believed that this carry on the season until the playoffs wherein Poole was not given enough minutes and the management have to decide whether to trade Poole or retain Green.

So we shall see, if I'm a Sixers fans then I would be concern on what is going from behind even before the start and as you have said, it will be uglier and could be compare to the Ben Simmons nightmare that the Sixers has in the prior years.

Duelbits, Roobet, Stake, Sportsbet.io are amongst the casino that I played in recent years and they become a favorite of mine. But still depends on what the OP is looking for, others looks for the deposit bonus and other perks, and then how much the withdrawal fee is.

Because Sportsbet.io doesn't charge any fee for withdrawal, but there are casinos that charges exorbitant fees. So it depends on what crypto you wanted to play, BTC for example with the whole network congestion in the last or so, might not be good to used as deposits and withdrawals, in my opinion.

I’m not a regular gambler before I start participating on gambling discussion here due to campaign requirements. Right now I have urge to gamble everytime I saw someone post here about discussion on profit or winning jackpot. Even a simple discussion about strategy makes me want to gamble because I’m excited to try the strategy that I’m thinking.

Right now, I’m still not frequently gambling because of my work but I do regular gambling once or twice a week even if I don’t do this before just because I’m always exposed to gambling discussion and the thought of it makes me want to try.

What’s the effect of gambling discussion here to you? I’m thinking to quit participating on signature campaign that involves gambling discussion in an event that my gambling activities is increasing above my normal habit.

I gamble before I've been exposed to this community and all about crypto based gambling, so for me, nothing has change as I can talk games like slots and sports betting and others.

But for sure for those who are not exposed to gambling and then promote and signature campaigns that involves it, then sooner or later he will have to learn gambling per se as he needs to discussed in this board and be paid by that campaign. So it's going to be a dilemma here, there could be some that just decided to quit the signature so that they won't gamble or chooses another campaign that doesn't involved it.

There is this news circulating in the net today that the 8 world division champion Manny Pacquiao will have an exhibition match against a Thai Boxing Legend Buakaw Banchamek.  It was reveal that the $25m exhibition fights will have a six rounds of boxing and they will be fighting @ 154 lbs.  There is a belt at stake here called WBC Legend Belt and will be given to whomever won the fight.  Though it has not been confirmed whether it will be considered a professional fight or an exhibition fight.

Source

This is interesting knowing there are lots of Pacquiao's fans who will surely support this fight, we know his greatness when he still dominating the ring and now that there's a fight whether an exhibition or a title even it will still be supported by people who love seeing him fighting, though as per my opinion it would be great if that's a title fight that will soon add more challenger to compete with the belt.

Yes, and if you follow Manny's social media, he is like a ambassador or something because he traveled a lot together with Jinky. He was in the fight of Inoue in Japan and a week after in the Crawford vs Spence fight wherein there was a lot of pictures of him with other great boxers like MAB and Erik Morales and others.

and as far as the money goes, it looks like the pot is $25M but not sure if it is will be split two ways or Pacquiao getting the lion share as Buakaw is also a legend in contact sports, but Manny is different as he is the A-side here. But in any case, good to see the Manny will be back in the ring again. For sure his fans are going to love this news.
1012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What micro games is best for you? on: August 21, 2023, 02:25:28 AM
By my definition of micro games, It’s a game that let you bet small amount such as penny that has an option to scale up slowly.

I play slots, mines, dice and live game show. What I really like the most in terms of return is slow games because it can give you a possibility of high return on small bet in random manner unlike dice and mines that you need to setup the difficulty just to have a chance to get that target huge profit.

What micro games works well on your gambling style?


Nice sure if we can define micro games in a casino, but nevertheless there are games that I play online (not crypto based), that I can bet as low as $.0.090-$0.18 (converted to our local fiat already) per number in a roulette in Evolution gaming.

And yeah, you can scale it out, and when I have a winning run I could bet as high as $1-$10 per single number bet then.

Just like dice, this is also very quick game and you can enjoy seeing the numbers that you have bet hitting on the roulette or the revolving wheel.

Does he really understand that? He's sad leaving the Warriors and we can see that he's not happy with it.

We seem to have differing interpretations. I believe he's content with the trade, especially considering his inconsistency following the altercation with Draymond Green. His actions possibly indicated a lack of interest in continuing with the team, which might have influenced the management's decision to trade him.

Staying with the Warriors could have subjected him to ongoing criticism. Therefore, being traded to a new environment could be beneficial, allowing him to display his talents and hopefully forge strong bonds with his new team without facing any confrontations so he will not be punch in the face again. Smiley
This is about Jordan Poole, right?
@Distinctin That's right. Actually, the Poole haters are growing after he had a bad inconsistent season last year. The problem is, this ain't new. And I guess the expectation for him had grown after the championship. We saw him breaking his career records one after another and then he had his hot moments that dominates the whole game. After that, there's really nothing explosive anymore.
So even if it's sad to leave the Warriors, that will be the best path or will turn out to be a nemesis of the Warriors fans. This is for the best and who knows if he could grow his career on other teams. Maybe, that will make him more confident and be a pure point guard for another team and not just a shadow of Steph.

And after that incident with Draymond Green pre-season, I speculated that the fans are divided then, between choosing Green or choosing Jordan Poole. And it was obvious that when the game of Poole goes down, specially the turn overs and the attitude in the playoff wherein he said that he was not given time to play, then the his trade might come to play that early.

I guess it will still be the splash brothers in the end, I mean Poole could be a good addition to them, but having 3 players who play almost the same position are not going to work overtime, in my opinion.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 20, 2023, 02:53:32 AM
I’ve been gambling for a long time which make sme experience tons of losses and gains at the same time. On this topic, I listed below the typical scenario whenever I experience loss. I notice this before but I’m ignoring it because I don’t want to believe that it’s really the cause.


Scenario when I lose in gambling
  • Waking up early morning to play gambling without eating any breakfast
  • When someone badgering me behind while I’m playing
  • When I already on adrenaline mode after losing more than 50% of my bankroll and start chasing losses using huge bets.
  • Gambling late night while I feel already sleepy
  • Playing gambling after a recent huge win
  • When I already huge amount while I can’t withdraw my balance due to my pending deposit
  • Chasing small bets lose while I’m already up by huge profit just to close my balance to nearest whole number

I’m still tracking all my human error that keeps me giving a regular losses when I’m on this condition. Do you have something like this?


Yeah, definitely agree with you here, and sometimes I still continue to gamble even I'm already up and have profited already. Not sure what I'm chasing or whatnot, but when the game that I played suddenly went into maintenance and my bets didn't get it, I just realized it and then simply stop.

And there are also days that I'm going to wake up in the morning coming from a lost and say to myself that I have to go back into gambling that early and win some or at least recoup what I have lost the previous night.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: August 20, 2023, 02:20:09 AM

You have a good position in this situation, investing instead of risking your money inside gambling, if you can do that and you can manage yourself, you will harvest the fruit of your success, if you have that good anticipation and a good mind control you can use your spare money not to any form of risk or any form of gambling but doing your investment with a good knowledge and understanding, you may earn decently after.



Using the money in the gambling is not risking the money,because we had a chance of winning from the gambling.It's seems you totally worry about the loss before suggesting others.Practice the gambling with the less money is most essential one.After getting good experience from the gambling,you can do start the high bet in the gambling.Many people start to gamble without learning the food ideology about the gambling.It's like the investing in the random coin in cryptocurrency without understanding the ground reality about the coin and without checking the background verification of the owners.The main purpose of the gambling is to provide the entertainment to the user and many wrongly think it's money making machine.

You can practice gambling by using demo account to test the waters first without actually burning money. If you aren't knowledgeable about the basics, then chances of you losing is high. Hence, you must understand and get used to the process first. If you can't do it without money involved, then practicing with small amount is the next good idea. You shouldn't start big as your initial bet, never, ever. Don't be greedy thinking you have the beginner's luck because not everyone has the same level of it during first plays or bets. If you want to have some fun, do it without the expense your finances.

You need that knowledge and proper understanding of what you are taking, gambling is a risky place for your money if you step on it without knowing or without any basic it's just like throwing your money and not to expect for something in return, though there's luck if permits you may win some and chances that you will keep coming back will take place, better to study and assess if you can control yourself or if you have that good understanding to continue to proceed with your gambling practices.

There are more games that is just based on pure luck, so it's really hard to make money out of it. Maybe just 1 out 5 days if you try gambling, you are going to lose and have that kind of winning streak. Not saying that you can make money, but it's difficult if you play luck based games.

And then there are games that is based on skills like poker, but still though, the odds might shift to you, but if you are also playing against guy that is better or equal to you, it's going to be very difficult to overcome that odds. Yeah, maybe you have to think positive always, but it might or might not help you in the end.
1016  Economy / Economics / Re: Fast Transportation Makes Economic Turnover Faster on: August 20, 2023, 02:09:49 AM
Transportation plays big role in the economy of any country. In grown countries the delivery is moving to jet pack whereas the growing countries are little behind. Fatser the transportation, faster will be the production and the same could help with more employment opportunities. This is where transportation plays major role, apart from this nowadays work from home is found around the world. For this reason transportation isn't much important in employees movement rather than the physical working category. From the home itself employees were able to connect to the colleagues and make decisions and work on it.

Yeah, even if you look at the US Civil war, when Lincoln prioritized transportation like the railroad, it shift the balance of the war to them. And in modern times, look at Japan, they have the fastest train in the world and look at how their economy is.

So it's really important to the country, if you can move a lot of workforce in just a short amount of time and they can start their jobs as early and be productive and then help them out as well to go home. That's why in my country, there are so much infrastructure being build so that we can move forward to the next decade and make our economy better.
1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 20, 2023, 01:58:00 AM
NBA Central is reporting that Apple Computers may be in talks to purchase ESPN. This would give them rights to pretty much every sport and make AppleTV a sporting powerhouse. Given the ties between Apple and Disney, I’m surprised we don’t see Apple buy the entire company, but ESPN is a good start. Sports are about to takeover Apple products.

That would be the worst thing ever.  Watching baseball on appletv is the worst have you tried watching it yet?  I will watch significantly less sports if those does go through.  Not to mention having to be sucked up into their endless round of apple products which I'm not too fond of.  Ypu have me freaked out now lol.

I don't know if it will be good or bad, but it will be different for sports viewers. Apple devices are not liked by many, you will have to buy a device to watch sports. We shouldn't think of it only as America, there are millions of people watching these sports in many parts of the world.
I hope something good happens to everyone Smiley

I guess that is the aim of Apple then and it's devices, yeah we can call that they only cater for a few percentage as far as worldwide use, but if they acquire and purchase ESPN then marketing and business wise, it make sense for them to do it to close the gap with Samsung or even overtake them.

So let's see, any huge acquisition could be good for us consumers, and it's a exaggerating price of $50 billion. But they know what they are doing and for sure they can get back that money in the next decade or less.

Yeah Elon sure picked a great time to sell. Basically during a very low volatility and no liquidity quiet summer month. If he sold this earlier then it wouldn’t of been so bad but there was just no liquidity and hence why we dumped so low and so fast.

It wasn’t his selling that caused this directly because he sold before but the news of him getting out of Bitcoin was overall negative. And many copy his trades and basically did the same and hence people panicked. We will survive and get through this however without Elon.

Yes, it's just the timing of his dumps that causes a flash card and OP pointed out a good support zone, but with that negative news, it was invalidated very quickly as we go down to $25k.

And with that news couple of negative news or those spreading FUD and capitalizing on the Elon Musk sell-off, there could a lot of panic sells and wanted to get out of the market because they don't like what they are seeing. But in any case though, we are going to survived this just like what we did in the past.
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 19, 2023, 11:37:18 AM
And perhaps Arum wanted Inoue to fight not just in the Japan but in the US as well and fought Americans, Mexicans and other great nations in terms of boxing before we can tell if he will come closer to the achievement of Pacman and become a legend of his own generation.
He's still far from that tough but Arum could shape him up close to him or if he'll be able to surpass Pacquiao, we'll see that as there's still a long path for his career.

Maybe Floyd is just giving his advise to Inoue? Everyone of us wanted to see him fight in the US for sure as it is the mecca of boxing.
Money is just talking about money and that's for Inoue. I agree that if Inoue wants more bucks and share for this fight, that's all he need to agree with and that's to fight in Vegas or anywhere in the US where the demand for the tickets will be sold out together with the PPV. I don't see anything wrong with that because with such events in boxing, it's true that it's the center of boxing and too many athletes want to take the spotlight by going there and having a match. As for Inoue, he's the main event and that's normal for him at his level now to be at the center of attraction if he's going to jump to another weigh class.

Yes, maybe Arum has the perfect plan for Inoue, he is known to do that, he has one use case in Manny wherein he turn him into a house hold name and one of the biggest boxers in history and now considered a legend.

As for Floyd, that's just his opinion though, as he is no longer in boxing, maybe just another opinion that does or doesn't matter, depending on who is going to hear that. But let's see if Inoue will realized that he needs Tapales more than any other fighter at 122 lbs for unification fight.

Floyd is advising Inoue to fight in the US, where Floyd himself was hesitant to fight outside the country to ensure that the referees and judges were in his favor. If Inoue chooses to fight in Japan, then they would be no different from Floyd, as both of them would be avoiding risks.

But there are no challengers from Japan during Floyd's reign, the closest we got is Manny Pacman from the Philippines.

However, after Floyd retires, he went to Japan and did a series of exhibitions matches for easy $20 m++ if I'm not mistaken.

The only distinction between the two is that Floyd is known for being a dull fighter, while Inoue is an engaging one. I wouldn't be surprised if Inoue retires undefeated, and people will always value him for being an entertaining fighter. It's safe to say they get their money's worth every time they watch his fights.

Yes, that's their style, Floyd insists on the sweet science of not being hit. But for us fight fans, we love to see to see two boxers throwing everything in a fight and that's why we love the style of Manny Pacquiao.

Anyway, I voted for Haney's victory by way of decision. He should win this. As a matter of fact, he should even knock out Prograis. Prograis is 10 years Haney's senior. Haney is at the peak of his career right now. Despite Prograis' high knockout ratio, Haney's fighting style and athleticism could very easily defend that. And with a significant reach advantage, Haney could easily keep Prograis at bay with a jab or two.

Despite Prograis' less than sterling boxing resume though, I'd still want him to win.

But if you look at Haney's record, his last KO win was 2019 against Antonio Moran. So after that all of his wins are in decision, or in the hands of the judges. So it's hard to see how he can knockout a champion in Regis Prograis. He took the best of this division in Josh Taylor to a SD loss.

And it's obvious that Regis has more power and Haney chin is not that good in my opinion. He even buckled his legs when Loma hit him in their last fight.

However, we will have to see whether this fight is going to happen or not since there is some issues with the money split here.
