Sorry, been busy with the NBA.  Cheesy

News just in, NBA Champion Matt Barnes says he is against a transgender woman playing in the WNBA, well, for me in my opinion if a woman would undergo a procedure in injecting hormones or something some will surely enhance their performance because they now have the hormones of male, and Matt Barnes is clear about it, but for me, she is still a woman so I think she is still can play in the WNBA, but if a guy would undergo a hormone female change I think that is really not allowed, because even though he underwent operations or hormone transplant, he is still a he,

Recently Layshia Clarendon admits that she had went chest masculinization surgery or removing breast tissue I think this is tolerable if it is not Hormone transplant,
I disagree too like Matt Barnes and I think it was discussed before by sports analysts in different sports.
It's not about sexism or whatever they call it. It's about avoiding unfairness when a transgender dominates the sport, especially in women's basketball or any sports with physicality happening.
There will be a lot of issues if they combine them.
The only solution for this is to make an LGBTQ+ league. There, no one should call it an unfair game because it was set for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.


If that is possible, why not right? Give them their own league and allow them to create names in their communities.

Though it's another talk that needed to discuss and many more opinions will come up,
different from how others think about LGBT+ and maybe it will bring separation
and more talk about it. For now, let the league stay how it is and let fans enjoy how
WNBA performs.

My pick for tonight.

Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets(-3,5) = Brooklyn Nets Win 1,90 Odds

Minnetsota Timberwolves(-6,5) vs Houston Rockets = Minnesota Timberwolves Win 1,71 Odds

My favorite bet is Brooklyn Nets.

Good luck.

You already your bet on the Nets, they won by 4 points, so your bet covered. Also, about the wolves, they are having a good lead already, so most likely they will win and cover the spread. Congratulations to you mate in advance, perfect day.  Grin

Good picks both handicap has been covered by both Nets and Wolves, he is lucky because Nets win by 4 points
enough to cover the handicap.

With the Wolves, yeah it's a comfortable lead which secure your win for both games,
another winning weekend with a lot of beers for you..
Congrats!

Milwaukee Bucks VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Bucks and 3.50 for the Thunders, Right now the Bucks are at the top of the Eastern Conference and don't have any losses yet, I think this is a good enough excuse in getting the Bucks as a pick for the bet,

This should be another easy win for the Bucks, and it looks like they could easily increase their winning streak to at least 13 games in a row since the upcoming games will also be against relatively weak opponents. As I see it, only the Cavs or Blazers have a chance to break the Bucks' winning streak, but the Bucks won't meet those teams until the second half of November.

Yes, Giannis and the Bucks are really riding on a good momentum and it's hard what team are going to stop them. I doubt that Cavs or even Blazers can do that right now.

Giannis is really on form this season and it seems that he is on a revenge season after a disappointing playoff last season. And they are doing it without Middleton as well, there second leading scorer. And Giannis as early as today is sho-in for another MVP candidate run.

Another win for Bucks today, I know that the game is not yet over, but they are in a comfortable lead now so it's safe to assume that they will win this game. Actually Giannis did not play but they are still a very good team, so it's nice seeing that from a championship team.

Giannis-less Bucks was still better than OKC, a team effort that established decent lead.

Another win for Bucks backers both ML and Handicap, if I remember it right the odd is -7.5 and the lead after the game
is 14 points safe and easy pocket for the bettors, still no loss for the bucks even they sit Giannis for a rest, coach manage
the team well.

Looks like I'm not the only one who expect Warriors to win this game. Cheesy

Include me on that list mate Grin Of course, nobody would expect that the Warriors will lose a game versus the Magic today. It's already proven throughout the time that Warriors is much difficult to defeat especially in this game that they have the edge against the opposing team, I don't know what's wrong with them because recently, it looks like that they really struggling. Just my thought tho, maybe their locker room is now different than what they've been used to.

Warriors lose with a single point and snatch from an underdog Magic team.

Not sure about the reason, but they needed to figure it out as fans will start to question them, and for sure haters and critics
will start to come up just like how it was with Lakers and Nets. As early as now, Warriors need to work it out, maybe the locker
room has something that will boost them if they will find the old ways and bring that talk into good executions.


That is if their locker room can give them some boost of what they need because if their locker room is now toxic then that may be the reason why their plays and performance are quite different since the season started, Curry is still have a hot hands but it is not enough. We know that the Warriors are surrounded by issues even before the season started and there's this Booker-Klay confrontation.

I see your point and it will be a big or tough test for coach Kerr and there with the Warriors managements they need to work
as one and forget about those dramas.

They need to act as professionals and it should need to start reflecting on their games,
all those issues do have the right place to discuss, but once they are inside the court they
need to perform that has one goal, nothing but to win the game.

I am mostly invested in bitcoin, something like 90% of my net worth is in bitcoin. Amongst other much smaller allocations I have are ETH, SOL & some memecoins.

You can make much larger profits in alts but I consider them as much higher risk than bitcoin.
I also hold more bitcoins and the money I invest in bitcoins is also more than 70%. I also think the same as you. i.e. holding altcoins is much more risky. but I still collect some altcoins. and I hold it until later the bullrun market comes. because even though altcoins have a higher risk but when the bullrun comes altcoins can provide higher profits. but I also don't dare to use a lot of money to invest in altcoins.

Decent amount of profits if the altcoin that you choose will pump hard, the amount of investment is far
cheaper compared with bitcoin.

Something that you can also consider when picking your investment,
but for sure most of crypto investors will continue to prioritize bitcoin
as the main asset that they will hold, long-term wise this project can
still breakaway and make a huge pump.
1106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Downfall still possible? on: November 05, 2022, 04:04:15 PM
Unfortunately nobody can tell you for sure. This is crypto and some big news may suddenly change the market over a few days although most likely we will hit another floor in July.
Yeah even now in November it is hard telling if we will still have more dips this month despite price surging for new highs. News can change the direction of the market and cause a rapid sharp turn in price movements. Bitcoin in July had best crypto month for 2022 the month ended with a 17% surge closing at $23,000 despite been a very volatile month. November is looking bullish with new short highs but it can reverse by the middle of the month.


The possibilities are still there as we can't really tell whether this good market run can be sustained,

or it's just another artificial pump to allure investors to throw their money inside the market and, afterwards, we will see another massive dump and pull the market again. It's tough to call that the bear is already on its way to leave and the bull is starting to enter. Anything can still happen. It's needed to be ready for whatever the direction will proceed.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 05, 2022, 06:18:52 AM
My pick for tonight.

New Orleans Pelicans(-3,5) vs Golden State Warriors = First Quarter 1,83 Odds


Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will not play tonight.
I think it will be an easy game for New Orleans.

Good luck guys.

I'm actually very curious to know as to when the news of Golden State Warriors resting 4 of their starters broke out ? was before the lines were made of after, because I know the type drastic effect it would have on the early bettors, if the news didn't get out before the lines were made, I didn't pay any form of attention to their lines when it opened.

That said, I think the Warriors second unit might are actually still decent enough, I understand that the Pelicans would be too much to handle for them, but I think -3.5 for the first quarter is a very trick bet, but I wish you good luck, still!

And you are right, the 2nd unit of GSW manage to have that lead in the first quarter,

Though the Pelicans took the big rally in the 2nd quarter and stay that comfortable lead till the game ends, Ingram is back
and he did not let the fans not to recognize him with his productions. The full squad of NOP is very competitive with them
all together with a healthy player have a good chance to make a better season ahead.

1109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 04, 2022, 11:45:58 AM

About the chances of him meeting Casimero in the future, it's possible although Quadro Alas needs to start building his rank in the Super Bantamweight.


And as for the experienced watching Casimero, he's always on a mission where he wanted to earn his spot.

Though it's no longer the same weight where he manages to dominate and win the belt, it's another challenge for him
beating stronger opponents.

The chance for meeting Inoue will be there after he accomplished establishing his resume from this new division that
he choose to move,.

Well for me it would be something great, because seeing Casimero that one of the greatest in his category arrives and that he can mark an era from then on with another, that is something that can happen as it is for many, I understand that Casimero is one of the best, but Inoue if he decides to move to a higher weight category, at least for me it will be a big step, because he is already at a level where almost no boxer can reach him, for me Inoue what he needs is more fame, it is more encounters with other world iconic boxers, because he has achieved a lot, if he changes category his level as a boxer will have increased, and I think his income per fight would be from another world.


For both Casimero and Inoue, moving to the next division gives them opportunities to bring their skills to the next level,

And like you said, if both succeed it will be add more fame to their careers. For now, they are not
in the same position, Casimero will start from the scratch moving up to this division, while Inoue if
decide to move up. He has that advantage to shortcut his way and challenge the defending champ
from this new division.
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 04, 2022, 11:10:02 AM
^It's all Jamal Murray in the 4th quarter. I didn't expect that, I thought the Nuggets are still conducting restricted minutes for him. Surprisingly, it went well for him and he got so hot he even made a dunk against two defenders. I bet that will be in the top 10 of the week.

1/2.

GSW. Erkk.
I don't know what is happening but this ain't the Warriors that we knew. 3rd quarter is the time when they mostly dominate every game but the Orlando Magic won today. Klay could've passed it one more to Jerome (iirc) at the right corner but he decided to shoot it. Well, it will be a different story if it went in.

Yeah, as I have been speculating, and it's good that I have skip the Warriors game, that they have problems getting a win now. Although their big 4 score huge numbers specially Curry, Not enough, now we can see how the second unit last year was better as compare to their line up. Kuminga ang Moody is a no show. And Klay has been playing good in this game and the most important shot, he missed it.

Good for you skipping the warriors' game. It was unexpected, like the post above you said,

Warriors mostly dominated the 2nd half and they are really good at maintaining their leads, but both the game
against Heat and Magic, they messed it up in the last few minutes.

But Kudos to the Magic, they really play hard today which gave them the win against the defending champ.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 03, 2022, 06:01:56 PM
Exactly, it might not be a big deal for the other people because they are not the ones who are playing for the franchise but for them, it is as they needed a boost as well, just like what you've said. Now that they got what they wanted, let's see if that boost restored their morale and is already enough to beat the NOP next game. Darvin Ham might've got an idea because of that win they've got.

Any win for LA Lakers right now is a cause for celebration. With how bad they started this season and how disarrayed their roster is, they should be happy they have won against Nuggets. Maybe it was pure luck or they have finally found something that clicks in their roster, we will know that in the next few games if they continue winning. And we need a tougher team than NOP to prove that they have found their formula for winning. Maybe a win against Bucks or Celtics will cement that.

Well, they seem got a hold of it because they manage to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans earlier today. It was a crazy game but it's undeniable that the Lakers is quite different now and Westbrook already got used to his role as he keeps on laying the table for his teammate to score. Pelicans was shocked as the gaps of their score becomes wider as the first half finished, they managed to chase the Lakers in the 2nd half but Lakers was so determined to put a win today.

I was under the impression that Lakers already blow it when Pelicans managed to rally back and claimed the lead before
that 3 points to force the game into overtime.

Good thing that even NOP manage to turn things to their favor Lakers didn't give up.
They tied the game and win it in front of the crowd during the overtime. 2 straight and
again silence the haters.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 03, 2022, 11:13:21 AM
The Milwaukee Bucks is doing quite well even in the absence of its second star Khris Middleton. Now the play is simple which is clearly for Giannis or Jrue can just shoot the ball himself. Although Khris is a viable option for the Bucks' offense, especially during playoff games. For now, they don't have to rush for Khris to return right away. Khris can return to the team 100% healthy.

It's unbelievable that the favorite teams continue to struggle except for the Bucks and Suns.

Bucks are still undefeated now, I'm not surprised though as they still have a prime Giannis and they are playing well as a team. Bucks will continue to win in a dominant passion, therefore I have no plans of betting against them regardless of the handicap. They had survived before without Middleton, it should not be a problem for them now.

Giannis' impact really gives them an upper hand from each game that they are competing, by looking at him very eager to help the team in winning games will put me away in betting against them.

Holiday, Lopez and Portis are all doing their best to fill the gaps when Giannis is in need of help,
enough to make a good plays and hassles. Bucks is always a good contender from the east.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 03, 2022, 11:03:12 AM
..... but If someone is willing to risk their money here, the winning reward is really great here than what you put on the line. The odds for Paul is really really tempting for the bettors, but then again you are gambling with the lowest chance and more likely to just donate your money lol.

Only crazy bettors would risk their money betting on Butler, or those who are rich enough to waste their money, LOL.. Kidding aside, the probability of winning for Inoue is very high, and Inoue is still in his prime so can't bet against him, he is the man and he is gonna make a history of his own.

Yeah right! Only those avid fans who have lots of money to spare for Butler, Inoue's chance to win is huge.

I'm not sure but most of the review, if not all, are favoring Inoue and we are seeing that reflecting from how bookies provide
the odds between the two fighters.

If there's someone who will take Butler here, it might be a fan of upset and huge potential profits. They've got their reason
in taking an underdog bet.
1114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Downfall still possible? on: November 02, 2022, 11:51:58 AM
Some very good coins out there have lost 95% of their value already is it possible to see more down fall? I'm throwing this to those that are present in last bear market, marketcap and volume is over millions of dollars and price is 95% down?  Shocked :I downfall still possible? For example Metahero.

Unfortunately it's possible for any altcoin like what you have mentioned. There are no guarantees or astronomical guaranteed returns for any cryptocurrency (except stablecoins unless de-pegged like Terra Luna's UST) that are subject to market volatility. It can go up or down anytime without warning, because it is unpredictable.

Even if you are so good in technical analysis, reading charts, predictions or so, the only master is the market itself and has the final say in the end.

Good point, the market decides the direction he wanted to proceed, even you understand well how the charts works
but there are influences that affect the market movement that you can't read from the chart.

More on your own adjustments and how will you take your chances in each project
that you'll going to support. Make a good use of your personal experienced and keeps
your eagerness to learn more for better predictions of the possible market run.
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 02, 2022, 11:40:55 AM
Congratulations to all the winners.
1/2 for my early bets.


I was not satisfied and while watching the Suns and Timberwolves playing, something urged me to bet live.
Caught the +15 bet in 3rd quarter while the Suns are at a 12-point lead. IIRC. The Twolves even got to the point of cutting the lead by just 2 points.

Yes, luckily, I got both my predictions right. They are giving away Over 214.5 after I took that bet because the score was too low before the 2nd half. Then they were fired up and 3's are suddenly sinking in.

Both Nets and Warriors are leading in the third quarter they both enjoying comfortable. lead if I remember, it right both
have more than 8 points lead.

But, coming in the last quarter, Lavine throws a lot of 3's, bringing them back and
established a comfortable lead to snatch this game away from the home team.

While the team efforts of all the heat stars really bring them back and snatch the
game away from the defending champ..
1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 02, 2022, 06:27:48 AM
Brooklyn is a tire fire currently. I think they did Steve Nash a favor by letting him go. Look at the shit he had to deal with. Kyrie wouldn't get vaccinated, Durant trying to force a trade, Durant trying to get him fired, and now Kyrie with his antisemitism stuff. That team is just insane the last couple years. Nash will get another job if he really wants it.
Now that KD's wish already happened, what's next for the Nets?
Who will be their new coach now? Does anybody here have any candidates that they are thinking that might get take the coaching spot?

I think a lot of speculations going around about Ime Udoka. He'll most probably going to take over Brooklyn as the new head coach.
What a sad day for Brooklyn and Steve Nash, separated ways early this season after having a 2-6 record, while the Lakers just celebrated the first win for Darvin as an NBA head coach with a record of 1-5. I'm afraid Darvin will follow this path if the Lakers won't make any difference even after this huge win against Denver.
A lot of things will change mid season, but top teams is in the bottom today lol. GSW just had their 3 straight L's.

Nothing but to anticipate those kinds of actions with every team, not just the Nets and the Lakers, but I'm assuming
that there are still players' movements so with the coaches.

The action of Brooklyn in parting ways for coach Nash gives him a good rest,
having stars who wanted to control the system is not something a coach would
like within his team, another disappointing result for the Nets..
1117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Among all which do you hold on: November 02, 2022, 04:53:59 AM
All I hold long term is bitcoin. but a few days ago there was a launchpool event on dibinance where BNB holders who staked Launchpool would get coins or HFT tokens. so I decided to buy and hold BNB. and the increase that occurred in BNB was also caused by the current event. And BNB is indeed an altcoin that has great potential even if it is held for the long term. because there is a continuous combustion system.

Great pick as while Bitcoin is moving up BNB is also moving alongside with it, and the good thing here BNB is much
better in terms of percentage of increase.

You are on a profitable side as of this moment and if Bitcoin will continue to move up
and Binance does the same, your chance of getting a decent amount of profits is really high,
it is on your take now if how high you think you will keep your coin and how much profits you are
aiming to earn.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/33834967/terence-crawford-says-wants-go-straight-fight-errol-spence-next%3fplatform=amp

Please make this fight happen.  This would be the fight of the year.  I like Crawford in this fight.  Wonder what the odds would be.  Who does everyone like in this fight if it goes down finally?
Crawford vs Spence fight  would be a interesting and crazy since both fighters are have same boxing styles and their speed on fighting is same level as Manny Pacquiao. This fight has been talked about for a long time and I hope it will happen. However, both sides are not interested on this fight because of the money, they not interested on the rewards because it is so small unlike in Pacman vs Mayweather.

It will not happen if only one party agree to fight, most importantly, there should already be a contract, otherwise, this fight is not gonna happen and they will only let us continue to make hype of this fight. Crawford is willing but it seems like Spence has no answer from it, if he has, it's not specific or confirming that the fight will happen.

We all expected that they were just trying to hype the fight more to make sure that the cuts will be met before announcing their schedule this year but that's not what happened, it looks to me that they aren't after the fact if the fight is marketable or not because if that is truly the case then I bet we already have the unification fight scheduled. Spence is getting the blame and criticism because we all know that Crawford wanted the fight, but Spence's camp makes it hard for Bud.

Spence camp might have another reason that's why Crawford's camp decided to agree to fight different fighter
instead of waiting for nothing.

I see your point in terms of trying to hype this fight, but that's no longer the case
here, the fight may or may not happen, but if ever they can always open their communication
to one another to discuss again their demands.

Goodness gracious, Denver Nuggets are so kind that they've given the first-ever win for the Lakers. Kidding Aside.
I thought that the Nuggets would be able to catch up with the lead of the Lakers but that's it, it seems an achievement and many are happy with this win for the Lakers.
We are wishing them that this should be the motivation on them to get their next wins.
Yeah, finally.
I just don't like how Russ boastful gestures with just one win. They have to win more. There are 82 games in the season and I would not be that overconfident yet just because of one win. Sure, he likes celebrating but it's not yet time. There's a goal to achieve the playoffs and be on the safe seed like 1-6 to avoid being in the play-in tournament.

Anyway, I like what AD is doing, that's the AD we got used to. Post-up, mid-range shots, very high accuracy. He didn't try any three which is good.


Don't be so hard on them mate Cheesy I understand your point but they also have the right to celebrate their first win after getting five straight defeats since the season began especially Russell Westbrook who is always the center of criticism and note that it was also the first win since Darvin Ham took the post of Frank Vogel, so it's kind of a good thing to celebrate.

Now, celebrations are finished because they are back again to reality where they will be playing with the NOP. What do you think guys, can they duplicate their performance this time?

It's understndable that Lakers needed that kind of boost, after winning the game celebrating is something that

the new coach needs, a kind of appreciation coming from the whole staff, it's a gesture that they
are all respecting him and they are all believing that he can do it.

Like what you said, it's back to reality and they will be playing the NOP, looking to see more good
adjustment for the Lakers to keep the winning vibes continue.

I don't know if the Chrismas and New Year celebration will give us more opportunity to buy at a lower price, if history repeat itself, then it may be good to wait otherwise you can start buying in trenches instead of a single buy. I bet on ATOM. ETH, APT, Optimism, EVMOS, NEAR, XLM, and fear others.

Good point, better to divert your investment and pick assets that have good potentials instead of picking single project,

though we do have differences in terms of choosing our investment, it's always be depending fromhow
you follow and support the project, the more you believe the more you will buy and hold. Seems that the
momentum is changing a little better to start trying to sort the market and pick your best coin/s.
