I was not able to bet on the early games. Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets @ 2.75
Los Angeles Lakers (19-24) will host the Hoston Rockets (10-33) tonight at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers lost yesterday by a point against the Philadelphia 76ers and will be rearing to win this game.  I like this pick actually because everyone is probably thinking that Lakers would win tonight because they are up against a weak team. Both teams are very desperate, Lakers so desperate to improve their ranking to qualify in the play-in, while the Rockets so desperate to break their cold streak. This bet almost won, Rockets are just not a good team in closing a game. They were able to make it a close game but the Lakers stayed discipline, they go with their play and as headed by Lebron, they had this big win. Also, Rockets could have easily cover the spread, but the last sequence wasn't that good and not in their favor, Lakers won by 8 points and Bron had 48 points. |

There are reasons why top coins are on top. They might be on trend or hype, they have a huge potential or they are going along with the movement of Bitcoin. So being on top isn't a reason enough for us to stick on them but rather do a research about their potential first for us to avoid confusions. We must know the capability of top coins as well as their reputation. There arw coins that could be on top in just a short period of time and would lose their value later on so we must be very careful.
But for me, the rank determines the potentiality and market capability of a certain project. It is usually based on the market demand but I agree about doing more research as holding them long-term, it was better to have the assurance that this project will last longer than those in hyped projects. It is really a big mistake from jumping into the crypto without doing any research but if we just invest in Ethereum and BNB, it is something we don't need anymore. |

What a game between the Lakers and the Sixers, I thought that the Lakers is going to win the game because have a chance when Joel missed the shot and Russ got the rebound. Unfortunately, he went 1:1 fumble the ball and then force his shot with Joel in front of him.
I have a ML bet on the Lakers, was so close for a win because they are the underdog in this game.
Not sure why they didn't call a timeout, I think they still have 1 and with 14 seconds to go, they could have execute a better play to them in order to get that huge win.
Miscalculation and I also agree that they can call a timeout and plan their offense instead of taking that force shot, maybe Lakers coach just give his trust to Russ so he allows him to make his way to the basket. Most of the time, coach will call a timeout knowing that they've got enough time to execute a play. Not for you, mate, better to move forward and pick another game tomorrow. Grats to all those who take the handicap, a close game for Lakers handicap, is fully covered. Lakers will play again tomorrow, this time it will be against the Rockets who are on a long losing streak already. I think they can easily manage to win, they were short against the 76ers, for sure not against the worst team in the NBA. For bettors, the spread is -6.5, are you willing to risk on that? |

I don't have experience in altcoins, but I have quite an interest in investing in altcoins, but when I hear the news that investing in altcoins is very dangerous because the potential for losses is so big, but I found out on the internet, it turns out that we can invest in altcoins as long as the in quality altcoins,
and finally I saw on cmc that the number 1 altcoin is ethereum, and finally I'm quite interested if I have the capital to want to invest in ethereum.
and I saw the news that it turned out that a lot of people were investing in ethereum because the ethereum project is very good and has a lot of fans. and I want to ask everyone?
: does ethereum have a good future?
: is it not wrong if I choose to invest in ethereum?
: what is the drawback of ethereum?
: why is ethereum the no. 1 ALTCOIN?
Indeed right, investing in altcoins is risky (even Bitcoin) but have you wondered why people are still investing in them? It is because they know it was not really dangerous when you are doing it personally. All of these are presumptions from a person who is mentally affected by their losses due to investing the wrong coins. If they just investing in Ethereum, they are actually safe but because they get hyped from believing developers, huge offers (x1000), and it leads them to get nothing (losses). Focus on your goal OP and invest in ETH without a doubt, I was sure you get what you are trying to wish for before investing. |

That's really what most of us or maybe we can say all of us are now experiencing with the rising inflation, the increase and most aspects
of economy, especially with our daily needs.
It can't be avoided, and it is we who needed to adjust, limiting or maximizing all our resources to continue surviving and then finding other
sources of financial income.
Things that most of us are really aiming and hoping to keep life moving forward.
It was pretty obvious that there is price manipulation in the market but the government allowed it because the corrupt leaders got their shares as well. I hope I was wrong but inflation will never reach this far if the government anticipates the situation and control the price in the market, especially for the suppliers. I was not really expecting this situation but it comes and gives us some insights into the worse possible inflation that will happen in the future if the government will take action to help and stop this. And for us to look for additional sources of income in order to survive. |

Anyone pick on the OKC to win against Sixers at Wells Fargo? it was a huge upset so not sure if someone here has the courage to bet on the OKC on the road and with Joel Embiid on the line up again.
I wasn't able to watch the game, but SGA had a big game with 37 points, and almost close to a triple double with 8 reb and 6 asst.
I would never think of betting against the home team. OKC is really unpredictable, they are heavily underdog that game and yet they came out strong and beat the 76res with a double digit margin. I'm wondering what would be the odds for the moneyline. Celtics on the roll against beating the Nets without KD. Good bet for the Celtics backers as they won 11 point margin.
Yes, without Durant, it's really hard to trust the Nets against a strong team like the Celtics. Good bet. |

there is no need to explain because you can back track the chart , and if you will look closer? this section has tons of thread talking about why and how bitcoin will reach another ATH just don't be lazy to look for the answer directly to those threads. and besides are you investing? so you are asking these question ? if yes then best to buy now and never let lose time buying. Buy bitcoin and try not to be scared of volatility , because that is the only way to find the result in the next couple of years . Perhaps, we don't have to explain to a person who has no trust in something. Because what he is trying to do is put already an end to which in fact, despite the current situation we can still see the potential for Bitcoin to soar high. It was very clear to us based on the market history that Bitcoin price is moving high every year this means that the growth of its price will never stop even if all Bitcoin has been mined already.
People who have negativity in their minds will remain doubtful no matter what we do to them. |

In general we all are responsible for the bearish trend. Who else gonna take the responsibility anyways. This is deeply connected cycle amongst everyone. Riches go crazy few times a year, they buy bulk they sell in bulk and give rise to those FOMO reactions.
Because we are too crazy to believe that crypto will make us rich. But when the correction has come, we then started to blame others which in fact, we are also a contributor to the continuous price drop. It is somehow we don't see because we make ourselves right despite the fact that we are wrong. FUDs, FOMO, manipulations - these are nothing if we are focused on our doings but unfortunately, we got affected because we are too emotional. |

Unless you don't intend to work again, have enough capital and is sufficient enough to absorb losses, I wouldnt advise starting a business just yet. Weigh the pros and con's apart then you can really decide which would pay you better in the long run.
We don't need to be discouraged from starting our own businesses. Op seem to have had experience from working for somebody and wants to take a necessary risk and chances are there that he can succeed if he gradually go in for it. He doesn't need to stop his work entirely but can reduce the rate of focus and divert his strength, energy, ability and ideas to grow his business. At least now he is a freelancer, so he has more control of his time. Running a business needs more time, especially at the start and if OP has enough time to manage it while still at work, success is not impossible. I support the idea of doing this because this is also what happen to me until such time I decided to stop working and focus on the business we've started. It is really all about what we think could be the best for us and our passion. But I see that most business owners are doing nothing instead, they focus and allocate their time solely to their business which I think we should have to think about and do this if possible. |

Btc is a strong coin even if the worth is reducing so its holders are not losing their hopes because they believe that one btc will be much higher as its previous worth and i think that those who sell it in low and reduced price are the foolish idea for those because btc can never be a coin which can be a cause of one's failure. Hence the price is low but after some months undoubtedly it will be up again and holders will be getting benefit out of it.
Its already a long way for them to sell off their bags, if they had made out some decision on selling it then they should have done it with those peak prices but since these people tend to be holding no matter what then it wouldnt really be removed into their minds about those much higher peak price points or ATH's to make on upcoming years of this market. And those weak people will simply sell their coins at dip and lose their money. This is really what happens in the real world, panic causes a lot when we can't control our feelings/emotions because what is in our mind is full of uncertainties and negative views towards the market. And those who can manage to wait for the next bull season will be given big rewards and they are truly investors. The time will come when all panic seller will realize their wrongdoings and feel regrets about it. Many people had come into this situation after they fail the test. |

@Sithara007, Thanks for sharing.
At least now we know that they are finalizing the deal. The talk now is this fight, no more Spence vs Crawford, or anyone with a big name. Spence vs Thurman is definitely a big fight, although Thurman is not a champion like Crawford, but he is a real deal, a boxer that could potentially give Spence his first loss.

Whatever strategy, either hold or do day trade or scalping, the intention remain the same, gaining profits is what traders are targeting
and if they can achieve that then it's a good trade for them.
Patience is highly practicable in this strategy, holding from the bear market to the bull season would turned out profitable only when one chooses the good projects to invest in. Scalping also brings profits on the table but it's very risky since it deal with massive timing and observation of the candle sticks. Scalping also leads to panic if one is still a newbie in the market, motion is not stable and very difficult to deal with, with the up and downs of the market, one can easily make the wrong decisions which will lead to either lose or liquidation of trading accounts. If we are not good at trading, I think holding is the best option to take. In this bear season, we need to be careful in making decisions because this will have a huge impact not only it cause losses but also it will affect mentally. Well, we can say it was a huge challenge for us until when we hold but I was sure the bull season will come soon, and get bug rewards from patiently waiting for it. It is really need not to get affected by the FUDs. |

There are lots of victims of this kind of method where the Dev and the telegram managers are being friendly in the AMA but the real thing is, they are luring their investors to trust them and to listen to every promise they made, and suddenly they will gonna stab them in the back by not doing anything about the project and leaving the project behind to fall. I had the same experience when attending an AMA event with the DEV of some NFT games and most of the time they will tell you about the things they will gonna do in the future but they have their own different agenda when it comes to stealing the money of their investors.
They are doing this just to look trusted and the group is active but once the participants fall into their trap, they'll gonna leave (exit scam). Though I'm not going to say that they all are scams, there are many projects that are still left that can be trusted. But as we heard a lot of scam issues, trust is hard to be given especially in the telegram groups. Because even if we do a deep search, it is never enough to tell that project is worth trusting, some have a good performance in their early days but it turns scam later. |

^^ There is also factor that made Mayweather famous and rich, he is brandish, talks to much and I would say has the charisma, and the whole character. I don't think Haney will have that even if he has 0 losses when he retire.
Yes, that's true and that's exactly the side that Haney doesn't have, that's why most people looks at him as one of the boring boxers in the industry because his fights in the past had no hypes at all. He's only became famous these days because he does have the undisputed title in the lightweight division as he also holds all the belt under his possession, and that definitely attracts good boxers that will hype their fight and market it, just like now as he will be fighting Lomachenko soon. Aside from that fact, Haney's not avoiding any boxers unlike Mayweather who did that tactics in his pro-career. But I know that it's still arguable as it's still too early to tell because Haney is still decades away from the retirement phase. I definitely think that we're too early discussing and comparing Devin Haney with Floyd Mayweather Jr., because in the latter's years, he is not really backing up anyone and doesn't avoid any fight as he's still climbing the ladder and doesn't even know if he can retire undefeated or not. Young Floyd was just focusing in his present during his prime years, just like what Haney did now. So, we will see it soon when Haney will become older and if he will be picky with the fights or not. Because if not, then he's really incomparable with Floyd. |

Bucks were not doing pretty well, with 4 wins in their last 10 games while the Knicks are doing well at 4 wins in a row. This is a good match and the odds are close, I think I will pass and try for a window of opportunity at live betting.
Memphis Grizzlies - San Antonio Spurs - Grizzlies -10.5. I hope this time Ja Morant will play, the status of him and Adams are in game-time decision but with that spread, a high chance he will be present.
Sacramento Kings - Orlando Magic - Kings -6.5. They are hungry after that close game loss against Hawks and Lakers.
I agree, Bucks were not that good recently but considering the data, they are playing impressively in their road games and this time, they might have a good night against the Knicks as they will play it in Madison Square and they needed a good bounce back from getting defeated by the Charlotte Hornets. I'll tail you with the Kings bet, I think they can manage enough and cover the spread against the Orlando Magic as Bol Bol won't be around. Lately, I've been watching more from the Kings game because I find them interesting and the Pacers as well. |

I think the best thing they should know about is not a method or type of betting, but more about how it is something that you will lose money on most probably and you should be ready for it. If newbies end up gambling then they should know that they should not be expecting money at all. I see too many people who start gambling with hopes of making a profit but we all know that it won't happen and you will lose money most probably.
That doesn't require a separate thread or subject. Isn't it just supposed to be normal to know and understand that gambling mostly leads to losing compared to winnings? When someone starts gambling, that should be common thinking already, and no need for further discussion. Knowing those betting options can somehow help newbie bettors to understand where they should place their bet. No need to study seriously those though as while progressing in doing sports betting, those terms will be automatically learned in the long run. sometimes you just need common sense if you are not yet familiar with such types of betting. or better yet, simple search from the internet and you will read a lot of info if you want to educate yourself, if you happen not to know this forum. in this digital age, everything is already offered on the table, it is on you how you will tap those resources. whatever type of betting you will apply, if you are not familiar with the sports, winning may be slippery from you. I agree, it's not everyday that you can bump with this kind of thread that OP created dressed as an article when you looked it up in the internet, to help the newbies when it comes to gambling terms and what does it mean. Sometimes, self learning is a must and sufficient enough because that's where you can actually learn rather than reading this thread as eventually, there's a good chance that you will just forget it sometime later. As they said, there's always a first time for everything, we just have to keep learning. |

Oh, Clarkson. What are you doing?! This is the second time he raised those fists of him. The first was against Kuminga and now against Desmond Bane and he ain't done even on his way out after ejection due to flagrant 2, acting like a thug in the court. I am a Filipino but I don't like these unsportsmanlike actions, you get mad when you are hit not when you are the one who hit. It's not fit for a physical sport. Also, he acts like he is guilty about the smack in the face of Bane. If you didn't mean it, say you're sorry or just walk out to the bench. If they attack you then just push them back, don't raise your fist. I bet the NBA will make him fine for that gesture. Here is the clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXUDaOG-gFEHe's doing the Steph Curry "night-night" teasing the Grizzlies. My bet builder for him and Markkanen was wasted because he was ejected and the Jazz lost the game. They will meet again on February 16 at Grizzlies' home before the All-Star. Nobody saw that coming for sure and I can't even notice where did the heat started which made JC raised his fist towards Desmond Bane. I agree, it was too unprofessional from his part to do that because he is not a first timer in this league, so he should know what to do in instances like these and not make the situation much bigger. Recently, JC has becoming more dramatic and suddenly resorts to a provoking actions, it's not good because the Jazz will suffer afterwards as they will be undermanned, hence why they lost against the Grizzlies after the altercation. |

Surely Gervonta Davis wanted to be underestimated by his opponents because he's viewing that as an advantage because his opponents are likely complacent enough saying that they will beat Tank easily because they are smarter, taller, or stronger. But as of now, none of them has proven that they're much more capable and stronger than Davis. Hector might end up like Rolly Romero, thinking that he was way smarter than Davis but the outcome was definitely different from what he expected.
Tank is a champion, I don’t think that anyone can underestimate him, on the contrary, everyone understands that a fight with such an opponent can turn out to be one of the most difficult in his career. I see that Garcia behaves very confidently, in one of his statements he said that he would knock out Tank before the second round, but this seems absolutely unrealistic to me, it will be a long and hard fight, and Tank in this fight seems to me a stronger. Davis beats Hector Garcia and it's true that beating Davis before the 2nd round is far from any reality, it's good that Hector able to survive till the 8th round before he the fight was ended. There are many solid combinations that Tank throws to Hector especially those convert punches that really shaken Hector. But at the end of the day, it was Davis who take the win, and moving forward to the original topic, the date is getting closer both fighters will take their trainings seriously, knowing that they both wanted to KO their opponent. Hector Garcia also deserved some credits for showing an outstanding performance against Gervonta Davis, it wasn't an easy fight for him and having to manage for 8 straight rounds is considerably good as Davis is really difficult to face because of the latter's vast knowledge inside the ring. And again, it shows how good Davis is, he's been frequently doubted but he also frequently proved why he is the regular champ. In the upcoming months, he will be tested again by an another Garcia who is also a knockout artist like him, this will be interesting to see. |

Until now there are still many people who do not believe in the crypto world who can earn big money and can manage our economic needs well, Many people are still hesitant about investing in bitcoin or altcoins and they still judge negative things about the crypto world, and this is not only the case for the poor and some rich people also respond too badly about the crypto world without studying well, Then never force anyone to get to know the crypto world without their own desires because we will definitely listen to negative assumptions.
It is because of a lack of education about crypto. Their views will remain thinking negative until such time they will know deeply about Bitcoin. Because what I see is that the majority are just living up to assumptions thinking that Bitcoin is not real but a full of scam. Without proper education, surely it was hard to encourage people to take a look at the benefits of investing in Bitcoin. We couldn't argue with them, the only thing we can do is to let them discover the importance of Bitcoin, especially during inflation. |

Maybe they want to pique the interest of investors by pumping in the meme coins launched on the Solana network and I guess that's normal because we've seen it happen a lot before too.
We must be aware of this because this is not a good or bad sign. After all, we also don't know how the project will go.
I also wouldn't think too much about whether the meme coin project would still be trending and would rather focus on bitcoin.
And if people still want to follow the meme coin project, they need to be very careful.
It hypes because of price manipulation. But I don't think this will still gain more attraction knowing that investors now had already learned from their mistakes from investing in projects with the same scheme before. Investing in meme coins is certainly not a good idea and I hope newbies will open their eyes and see the risk of investing in them. I'm not discouraging people from investing in altcoins but be sure we have done with the research and we have to stay away from new projects. |
