And then those who bet on the Heat at -1.5, just a shade shy though. Very good game but the Wizards win at the end. Celtics continuing with their run.
It was very close and a very defensive game, imagine, both teams only score a total of 5 points in the overtime period.  I haven't watch the game, but it went to OT, but as usual Heat is a good defensive team, but the big 3 of Wizards produce more than 50% of their score, Beal, Kuz and KP scores 20+ points or more. Oh and the 5 points is combine for both team, not sure if that is the lowest we have seen so far this season in a OT game. A surprise from Heat without their main core aside from Lowry, a 7 man rotation who almost upset the Wizard in their home court, it was just a save from Kuz if he missed that shot. Luckily they managed to survive in OT, for sure it was an embarrassing game for them if Kuz didn't make that shot or if Lowry made his last attempt not sure though on that last play of Lowry, he can still rotate the ball and find the open man, but he decides to take it. Lucy wins for Wizard. |

Knicks had a great win in Denver on the road. Yep Denver was without jokic but going out west in Denver is never easy no matter the lineup. 2-0 on the west coast trip they need to get some wins behind them and clear space between being .500
Thibs is now locked into a 9 man rotation which seems to be working. They go into golden state Friday night, I'm not expecting much from that visit but that's why they play the games right! Glad nba is getting underway, fall is always the best season for sports.
It's good that they got a win against the Denver team, but obviously, they don't have their MVP and it was a very close game. But against the Warriors at home, it might be tough for them. Curry just drop 50 points but they lost on the road against the Phoenix Suns. For sure they want to have a good bounce in their own homecourt so as much as we wanted for the Knicks to upset the Warriors, it will be hard pressed for them. It was a 3-point game, still a tough game for the Knicks even if it was a starless game form the Nuggets but the Knicks managed to rally in the 4th quarter with the help of Julius and Jalen. But surely they aren't that lucky this time because the Warriors proved again that they are really hard to beat in their homecourt. Curry didn't put much scores this time which is understandable after giving 50+ points in their last game vs the Suns. Warriors play the game the way it used to be. Core stars share good ball movement and splash bro plus Wiggins, lead the offense. Knicks unable to manage to rally back, though they attempt it during the 2nd quarter but GSW is hell good when playing in front of their fans. This team always has that entertainment for the fans. |

now many exchanges are doing public audits of their funds that they have to reassure users.People are massively withdrawing their funds from the exchange because it has become unsafe.I think closer to the new year, the state of the market will be better and the noise around the bankruptcy of the FTX will subside.The situations were worse,so I wouldn't worry and on the contrary,I bought what is now much cheaper.
Correct, they are being transparent with their funds in their wallet for the customers end and people being panic thus moving their money to different wallet is pretty much normal because of this whole situation. Still it's a long time before this situation ends as the bearish market is still going until today by the price of some big coins are declining. Just be prepare for the worst case possible. Exchange is trying to calm the investors and the traders. The situation is still unsafe from panic sellers who are fearing to get stuck with the situation. They are trying to assure that they have the fund to keep the exchange safe. With the collapse of FTX, it's no longer new that there are many people who invested to this industry are now re-assessing their position, either they will continue to buy and support or they will move their money away from the market and abandoned this industry. |

However, I still don't understand why NBA teams aren't interested in Melo. Of course, Melo is no longer in his prime, but he's still a good scorer, and he could be a great bench player for a minimum salary.
Just hope that there will be a team that will consider Melo. The season still has a long way to go. Not the first time that Melo experienced being unsigned for long. In 2019, Portland Trail Blazers give him a chance to play again after a year of absence on which he is thinking of retirement already. A season after, he intends to stay in the Blazers for a year deal. No one knows if that thing will happen to him again. Melo's chance is still in the hand of any team that will offer him to sign a contract, no update yet but the season is still in the early part and anything can happen. It's just a need of someone who can really help him to get another team to play with. Maybe Melo is no longer in his prime, but scoring, he still can contribute good numbers. |

I saw the news about Dwight Howard is playing on the league in Taiwan. There's now a follow up news that a team there too, the GhostHawks are wanting to take Carmelo Anthony to their team.
So, it's very likely that he'll take the sign there and play for that league. I felt bad again for Melo when he's got stuck with no team want to take him just like the past seasons when he's on the same situation.
But hopefully, he gets to sign there and play against Dwight's team.
Carmelo isn't signing in that league. If he doesn't get signed anywhere here he will just retire. Most likely he gets picked up mid season. His wife La La wouldn't live there she likes the LA/NY life. Who knows. We have not heard of an official statement coming from him on whether or not he accepts the offer or he already had but i missed it lol. Besides, he can actually play overseas with his wife still living in the US. However, if he thinks some team will pick him up mid season, then that should be the main reason why he's not signing, otherwise that offer is actually good than nothing as he still does not consider retiring. He could still play for a couple of years, and he'll probably going to be a good addition in any of the teams from that Taiwan league. I think for a player of Carmelo's marketability before as a superstar, it might be hard for him not to play in NBA and play somewhere else like Asia or Europe. So I believed that he will stick to the plan of waiting for a NBA team to still hire him even before or after the All star break. And if no one pick him up, then maybe retirement should be the next best move for him. Unless he swallow his pride and go overseas in Taiwan with Howard. If he is after the money or if basketball is still in his call, maybe he will swallow that and consider playing outside the US but if pride is at stake, my personal take. He will retire if nothing will hire him in the NBA. All on his decision making, maybe there's already negotiation between his camp and the possible team/s who still believe that he can add up to their team, just my opinion, maybe landing in Denver before retiring might be a good exit drama for Melo. |

However, it seems Bob Arum won't allow his Inoue to face the champions right away and for me, that would also be a nice move once he moved up. There's no need to rush for a title match right away although I really badly want to see Inoue facing Fulton or Akhmadaliev in a title match someday.
That's not really far from happening once Inoue climbs the next weight class and that might be the closest case because Bob Arum is known to take a less risky path for his fighters while milking them at the same time for challenging a much easier opponent. I assume that Bob Arum will let Inoue to face either Fulton or Akhmadaliev after 2 non-title fights, with win of course. Arum is a genius, so yeah for sure he won't let that happen unless the champion is weak, but Fulton is no pushover. So I'm expecting Arum to just pick someone that can easily be beaten by Inoue by knockout or by another impressive win. And maybe, when the hype is still there, he will allow Inoue to face either champion. But then again, boxing politics might be the biggest stumbling back again. Arum will continue to play with his cards, as long as Inoue is willing to sign his contract and Inoue is contented with the amount he receiving from Arum, the business will continue. They will continue to pick fights that will bring Inoue to more hype. It's Arum's job to make sure that the money will continue to flow. Nothing new, it's a business and he will keep his advantages to get more money out. |

I also think that the bitcoin price will not get any pumps shortly.
But even so, bitcoin will still be ups and downs so we can use it to buy and sell at low and high prices.
We can make it as a way to make a profit but it requires more analysis to get the right time to buy and sell.
And you have made a good decision to become a long term btc holder in this situation and I also suggest the same for those who want to invest in bitcoin.
I still think that before the growth phase, the new bull market, there will be another final dump, quite a significant one, when it happens and what will precede it is difficult to say, but I think it will not be long to wait. In any case, if you buy bitcoin for long-term investment, then even the current price is good for this, and if you rely on a fall, you can always buy more at a lower price. There will always be a growth phase, whether a decline or an increase, so that will make the price go up and down more often. We have seen what happened yesterday. After a decline, the price increased again and this has been happening. But there will be a correction period to come so that lets us use it to buy more at a lower price. And times like those are also great buys for people looking to use bitcoin as a long-term investment. The correction phase is the thing that each investors needed to follow. If you managed to understand the flow, then the chance of a making a good amount of profits is possible. It's not an easy task and needs to have lots of knowledge to assess and anticipate the next market run, you need keep following the news and how impacted it is when it's been released. |

Just like @Dave said it is easy for Tech guys to get new jobs once laid off but those on management, its hard for them to get another so interms of management I would just accept a pay cut but that can also be with some hours shorten, with that I could run an extra work to add to it. But the paycut most be something I have looked into and could well be able to take of the major necessities.
Yeah, with extra time that also be cut you can still find extra job to fill your lapses, instead of lay off which is very hard to find another full-time job with the same position. You can take your time to find new part time and use that as your opportunity to adjust once you already get the experienced either you can find another new job or you can stay the same way as how the setup might be. |

As long as Joel Embiid is healthy and plays like that, I'll see Philadelphia as a serious contender. He is doing incredible work and elevating his team. A few games later, Sixers will be back in the play-off spot. I haven't seen a team that stands out so much this season. Boston and Milwaukee are in similar level as Philly. In the Western Conference there is no team that stands out much. It looks a little more balanced there. I was expecting a fall in Golden State but what happened to Lakers? They fell off worse than I expected. LeBron should go to a better team to chase another championship.
Yes, as long as Embiid will still be playing healthy with the Sixers, they will be fine as their big man numerously proved that he can do almost all the work to bring the team to a win plus there's Maxey and Harden. They will remain a heavy team and a threat to the others. About the Lakers, well, there's not much interesting for them as of now as they are just winning every after 5 consecutive defeats, but they sure do hope that their AD is as healthier as Embiid of Sixers and not an injury magnet. Aside from that, they are still struggling to be consistently in-synch and their defense is not that fine as well, they won't reach far if there's no improvement from them. On your first note about Embiid, as long as he will stay healthy and the ole players of Sixers will adjust to how he wanted the game to be played, Sixers will continue to be a good contender in the eastside. ANd moving with your Lakers opinion, we all witness what's going on with them now and your statement is true, there's nothing for them if they will not improve both there defense and offense. |

I'm a bit surprised, at first there was a lot of talk about Binance and CZ's role in the FTX exchange crisis, CZ's backtracking on the FTX deal was a merciful shot at FTX's death, now these statements by CZ come as a surprise to me, I hope His intentions are really good because there is some talk about CZ's dream of becoming an unrivaled Crypto Emperor.
November is the month of violent turmoil so hopefully things will end well and stability and prosperity will return to the crypto market.
Others say that it's a play that CZ design and then backing up in the last minute to really pus the price to another bottom at around $15k. But there are pro CZ says that he doesn't want to inherit the big issues that FTX will have to face in the future so he didn't push with the plans. In any case, for us the damage has been done, we survived, although the market is very volatile as of the moment that any bad news will trigger another huge withdrawal again. Hopefully, the market will settle down and bounce to at least $18k levels. The market is still unsure and there are still tendencies that with another bad news to come, it will surely trigger those who are fearing for their money to lose. We should be more observant and needed to assess well if we are aiming to compensate with how the market is behaving, do your DYOR and keep your eyes on how the news will take effect inside the market. |

Hopefully no more negative news triggering a panic to sell tokens/coins, last week we were shocked by the crash of FTX, one of the biggest exchanges at the moment which resulted in a whole panic.
We really don't know what will happen next, after FTX there are many fearing investors and traders who panic and create more downfall. Just like you said, hopefully nothing more will take place after that week and we will be able to see some good news back to recreate good market bounce, as of now, there are still chances that another fuds will show and weak holders will be shaken. People should really avoid that kind of mindset about thinking that this bearish news and negative ones are really that over.This market could really be having that endless possibilities when it come to news whether it would really be that negative or positive.No one really knows on what would happen in the future next this is why it would really be that right that we should make ourselves prepared on whats upcoming because we dont really know on how this market behaves.Lots of factors and things that could really affect out behavior or the price movement which we should really be that thinking on how to deal up with things. No one knows and that the only thing that clears when you participate in this kind of business, buying now, won't assure you that you will see good bounce and you will be compensated. Downfall is still possible as the market activities continue to rely on how investors and traders will interact, either they will take the opportunities to buy and hold, which can help the market to regain the support. Or, they can sell out and help the bear to make more damages in terms of price. |

Yes, they are siblings, and usually Japanese and Filipino boxers have their sort of rivalry in Southeast Asia. So I'm not surprised that they are willing to test the other Inoue against a Filipino here. Unfortunately, Bornea is a relatively unknown. But who knows, he can pull a surprise here. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain if he fight everything against Takuma and upset him in his brother card. And yes, news is that after he unified and win against Butler, he will move up to super bantam.
With hard work and determination also excellent coaching from his brother, he will surely improve when he will gonna first fight some boxers that are not really strong or capable of giving him hard time inside the ring because when you have the right trainers and the right skills with you, there are really have enough rooms for improvement and when he will gonna fight a Filipino boxer, he is one step to be able to cross every hard storm in his next fights and after a year or two without tasting any single lost, he will be given an opportunity to fight for a championship. With the right sets of skills and IQ and with the right camp to train you, the chance of improving yourself from each fight you take is very possible. He got that advantage as he already has a someone who can help him in keep improving his skills. If he really wanted to pursue his career from this same sport with his brother, then he needs to work hard, the expectation that accompany in his name is very tough, he needs to be prepared both physical and mental to achieved his goal. |

The best game today was the Miami Heat versus the Phoenix Suns.
It's unusual to witness a win from a defensive stance and Jimmy Butler made players and fans see again how the defense is a crucial part to win a game.
That block he did against Booker was so impressive it made me stand in my seat. Goosebumps.
Adebayo took care of their 4th quarter offense but Butler did a lot to prevent Booker from being an offensive monster. A splendid win for the Miami Heat.
And Miami is known for their defense if I'm not mistaken, and that's how they built their team. Butler is a offensive players but he usually locks the opposite player. And we all know that Booker is one player hard to stop, but as soon as you know how to play this guy, maybe you will have a chance to shut him down. And so that's what Butler did, make Booker uncomfortable and that block to like put a dagger on the Suns. Butler simply accepted the challenge out from Booker. I was impressed with his defense, taking care of the opponent's alpha and manage to lock him and not to allow him to make the winning shot. Miami snatches this game from the Suns. It all happens in the final quarter and they really make value with the fans' tickets. Make them very entertained and the enjoyment that they are looking for when watching the live games. |

I believe market is about to fall more BTc can hit around 10-12k alot of FOMO had already been created first being Gala TRX and now with FTX these Week is just really bearish although with time Crypto is losing it's trust for investing even we can't trust anyone Centerlized wallet are also not safe their are alot of news like Hack and stuff like that
The Total Volume in the Market are keep Decreasing the Asian country are just Hurting the Crypto by implementing taxes Inflation is on all time high right now
Maybe you are right but I don't think it is all about FOMO because the current economic situation has also a huge influence on us. I was already prepared for the possible drop and makes me not worry. However, we couldn't neglect to see the rise of panic selling because at the moment that Bitcoin will drop more, emotions and negativity will tend to rise as well bringing to such market events and big sell-off. May the trust will get affected for new investors but for us who have been here in crypto for many years, this is not surprising anymore and we are willing to hold. Emotions really affect the situation inside the market, many are fearing with how the market will behave in the next upcoming months, the chance of seeing more fall than the potential of bouncing back is not being foreseen due to a lot of influence coming from the world economy, and with news about current events that really creating more fuds and shaking the investors' and traders' trading positions. |

Someone Tweet this .. I dont know if its funny or the guy is trying to make people aware or the intensions behind it .. but its really worthy to give it a thought..
Whats your opinion
Congratulations, you just made someone panic and heart pounding, Why are you worried that binance will close the withdrawal feature, see my conclusion: - Binance is the top exchange for the highest trading volume they have 90 million users worldwide, you can review the detailed explanation https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/- Binance exchange is very transparent, recently CZ has announced a cold wallet pool of funds and I've never seen any other exchange publish funds from their wallets.  sc : https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1590693950020472834CZ and the team will do everything to avoid losing trust and to cope with those who are fearing that the money they've got inside the exchange will be held. The topic really affecting some people who may be having difficulty accepting the current situation with FTX, they are now thinking if what if the situation got worse and Binance will be the next one to collapse. |

And they are going against the Sacramento Kings, you are also in a momentum. Curry though have to bail them out against the Cavs last game,in their first encounter, they barely made it with a win. But I think this is going to be close as the Kinds in in form.
The opening for the Warriors is -4.5, the last time they won 5 points.
But if I'm going to bet on this game, I will be taking +4.5 for the Kings.
If you look at the record of the road record of the Warriors, the pick here is the Kings because the Warriors are 0-6 on the road, however, since the Warriors won their last two games, I think they have the momentum now and I will ride with them. They have been losing in their road games so they may want to break that. Betting for the Sacramento Kings here might not be a good idea with just plus 4. The Warriors are in badly need for more wins to get back on top. They will be doing everything to make that happen even on the road. Warriors money line will be my option here as the game could end up being close and not cover the spread of -4. Fox sometimes gets too hot it's difficult to stop him. If Wiggins will D him then maybe there's a chance to cover the spread. But it will be an exhausting feat. And you know what, the moment they start winning they are very dangerous, despite their early struggle, we should still not forget that they are the defending champion and they can beat any team in this league, so maybe they'll start winning on the road in Sacramento. Good point, once they start winning on the road they will continue winning, I like the point from post above you stating that Wiggins will be the key if he will guad Fox. We seen Wiggins last season and his defense really improve, if he will try to use that with Fox then Curry and the offensive arsenal of Warriors heat up, the chance of covering the handicap is not far to achieved. |

Under the current situation, many companies are facing bankruptcy or layoffs at any time, and we do not know what we will face tomorrow.
Do we need to switch our jobs to online jobs or a full-time investment in cryptocurrency?
Under the current situation, "full-time investment job" seems incredibly risky, and its not something that you can do without having big amount of money. Or by that you meant trading, but for you to turn that into a full time job you need to be an excellent trader, and you can become that only after years of hard work, learning and a lot of money lost in the process. Right now, that does look like it would be quite difficult to handle, and I know that investment sounds like something you would do and calculate short periods of time, because you would need money to live, but that doesn't have to be the case if you reach to a high amount. For example, if you have about 200k give or take to put on staking, that means you could make a living out of that alone, then whatever else you do would be just extra long term investment for the future profits, not to withdraw, but to grow net worth. This means it is only about the size of the fund we are talking about, anyone above 200k could make a living out of this and when the bull run comes there will be plenty of people who will have 200k+ dollars. If 200k$ is all your assets and you decide to put it on a centralized exchange then I think you are taking the riskiest route and its a crazy idea. Cryptocurrency investing is inherently risky and becomes even more risky when you put your money in a centralized platform for staking, even if it is binance there is no 100% guarantee for you. I understand your idea is great, you are talking about creating a passive income stream, but it is not quite right to put all our money in crypto. Never put all your eggs in one basket. I will agree with your statement even it is binance which is already been trusted by many invetstors but we still don't have any control if how future will be. But it's your money and your decision to make, if you are ready to take that big risk putting that huge amount of investment, then so be it. No one will control you with your own money, your decision is always the last thing that will happe. |

^Congrats Dave! I trusted the strong teams Mavs and Pelicans while they are down in the 4th quarter with 8 minutes left. Luckily, they made it through. Took the ML bet and I won both games.  Spencer Dinwiddie got hot in the last minutes of the game and made three consecutive three-pointers to take the lead and bury the Trail Blazers with a 3 possession game. Luka ended the game with a triple-double. 42pts/13reb/10ast Nice betting odds, if that was a parlay bet, it would be better but anyway you already won, a win is a win, so congrats. Luka ended with a triple-double is not a big surprise, he is playing with a high level, looks like he want to dominate so he will win his first MVP. Dallas also had improve as a team now, their inside and outside are pretty much impressive. Luka needs to continue working like this to win the season MVP, he got the squad who can help him now, a great win for the Mavs and a very nice odd for both bets. If you have that guts to take the risk during live games and you managed to take that kind of huge odds, Sunday celebration will have a extended beers or maybe a good weekend night out.. |
