As for Ja Morant, wrong set of friends, yeah he could be under pressure of the limelight but this is not the way to do it buddy.
You are destroying yourself, flashing guns. He really need help, specially from his families.
That's not good for him, as he has lots of major sponsorships that gave him a lot of money. If he can't change his life, then I think his career with the NBA will be short. As a superstar, he has a big responsibility, which is to be a role model, and his actions have shown that he is not living up to that responsibility. |

i also believe that this fight will test his endurance if he can still fight younger boxers to aim for those coveted belts. if he can snatch such belts, that's a great reward before he hang his gloves. at least retire from you sports as a winner.
I want to it see that too if Donaire can still take a win against boxers here in the Bantamweight division regardless if they are young or not now that the most dominant Bantamweight boxer is now out of that division, Naoya Inoue. If Donaire can't stand against other Bantamweight boxers then that's it and he should call it "a career".But even after beating Santiago, I want to see him clashing with Jason Moloney. Hopefully, the next in line for him. Hmmm, if he can't withstand with this fight or I don't know maybe he could change his division but I really doubt that he will be lose in this fight against Santiago . I really believe to Donaire but the thing is I think his team should learn to enhance his skill such as agility, because as he get older and when his opponents are younger than him he should go along with their speed and strength of course. There's no need for Donaire to change his style. Donaire is Donaire, and he has special skills that make him successful. Aiming for a KO fits well as a strategy for him, as if he leaves the fight to the judges' scorecards, he might get tired and lose. He has power, which is why he is a KO artist, and if he cannot use that in this fight, then I don't expect him to win, as many of Donaire's fights that have not resulted in a KO have not been in his favor. |

On the other side, Magsayo has been winning and fighting year to year. Absolutely no stopping him! Aside from his one recent loss, his track record is way better. Obviously he is going to win this fight with certainty.
He lost though so he is stop on his track, so both are coming from a lost, and so the winner will obviously bounce back with a big win here. I would be happy if Magsayo wins this match. He is listed as the underdog, so for us bettors, this is a great opportunity to bet and make a decent return if Magsayo does indeed win. However, I would not say 'certainly' because Magsayo has not been that impressive in his previous fights, even in fights that he has won. Therefore, I want to see a major improvement, a matured Magsayo that knows how to time his opponent to win. |

Knicks.....straight.....stunting on the nba.....talk about it.
Bulls…straight…..not stunting on the nba…let’s not talk about it lol Nah I’ll bitch a little. At this point with them playing like such shit all season, and obviously clearly not having any legitimate shot at making any sort of run in the playoffs, it’s time to maybe trade some pieces and start losing. Would be amazing to someone pull another situation like we did with Derrick Rose and luck out in getting the number 1 pick again (would be something with the Bears and Bulls getting it). Their shooting is okay, but their defense is very bad. With consistent losses, their chances are slowly diminishing. It's not really good for the Bulls. If they miss the playoffs this season, then they might as well start rebuilding the team and trade their superstars to their desired teams The Bulls are in 9th or 10th place in the east currently. They have 3 wins in their last 10 games. Most likely they are missing the playoffs with how they have been playing the last 2-3 weeks. I don't know about trading all their stars, but they do need to find some help in the defense area. Division rivals are killing them 7 wins to Bulls 6. Road games are killing them. They need a spark. They are not a bad team; however, I believe they are inconsistent, and that has been their problem even early in the season. There were rumors before that Lavine did not want to play with the team anymore and wanted out, but the rumors subsided when the Bulls started winning. Now they are back to struggling. In terms of their lineup, they have a good one, as they have their own version of the big 3. However, the problem with this team is probably the chemistry level, which has not fully developed yet. |

The way I explain bitcoin to a person would totally depend on his/her personal background.
e.g. Personally, I'm around gamers a lot of times, so I explain it in a way that they can buy/sell their in-game assets without the need of risking their PayPal accounts getting banned and getting their transactions reversed because of bitcoin's trustless nature and transaction finality.
Well, that could be easier for them to learn as you are teaching them based on their line of interest. However for me, i would still teach them the basics first by giving them insights on what is bitcoin and its purpose and function. Then they can make additional research about it if they want to increase more their knowledge in bitcoin. But if they would ask me on how to be profitable with bitcoin, i'll just advise them to to know and understand what they are doing. Maybe that would create a hint for them. |

This comes with practice because getting emotional is human nature while not getting emotional is the feature of a seasoned trader. Often newbie traders who did not take part in dummy trading take decisions based on emotions which tend to be wrong most of the time but there is nobody to correct them right away.
A background of trading in other speculative assets and dummy trading might help new crypto traders understand how the market works and when to trade.
Buying low and selling high has been an age old method to profit. This should never be underestimated and misunderstood.
People trade because of what their emotions tell them, and that is to make profits and stay profitable. But in order to make this possible, trading without emotions is highly needed. Although it's hard since in all that we do we are driven with our emotions, but trading is different so it needs a different mindset too. However, with accumulated experiences trading in the market, you will realize that trading with emotions brings threat to your success so if you can trade without being affected by your emotions, that would be a lot better so you can be successful in your trading activity. |

This is not just about bitcoin though, letting the world know you have "money" puts you in danger. Specially if you are carrying it around with you.
You mentioned he was a tourist, if you check the stats of robberies where they take the tourists money in different countries you'll realize this is not a new thing. There are even some cities in Europe (eg. Barcelona, Spain) where the average is a dozen robberies per hour (that's 2018 stats, it is much higher in 2023 due to worse economy situation). As you see these stats are not bitcoin related.
Right. The moment you disclose your privacy and let the world know that you have huge assets on your own, then you are giving permission to those people who have been planning to harm you. So you should not be surprise if later on, you're now in danger. Most specially for crypto that is stored in your smart phone, a lot of people would be eyeing to get it and own them. And in the case where you are in the place where robberies are rampant, then consider yourself as a future victim since you allow them to do this to you. |

My follow beginner, hope your reason in investing in Bitcoin is not thinking to live large , buy good cars and to acquire mansions. If you ask most beginners what is their reason they choose to invest bitcoin all what you will understand from their reason is just want to make in different versions. Beginners should learn to know bitcoin is not a reason or a way to become rich .
The reason in investing bitcoin should be just to level up financially, grow your money and get a better return of it. Beginners should not mistake bitcoin as to grow money and for making money(becoming rich). The principle of bitcoin is real , if you understand the principles it always turns out being profitable.
Bitcoin is certainly not a get-rich-quick scheme. Its more of a long-term investment that when you succeed from it, that means you can gain good returns and grow your capital, as well as grow your possible profits. But for most of the beginners, their mindset is mostly set in greed that's why they invest bitcoin because of their high desire to get rich instantly. The reason why they lost their focus in bitcoin investing because they are more motivated on the fulfillment of their greed. |

 We know gold is very precious metal, but Bitcoin is much more expensive than gold. Bitcoin will cross $100k after halving in 2024 ie if I invest $3000 in Bitcoin now then there is a chance of getting 10x after 2024. If I get $30000 from investing $3000, nothing can be as valuable as Bitcoin. I explained this formula to my wife at night and she was not willing to give me her jewelery at first but today she told me by herself that you can sell my jewelery and invest in Bitcoin. At present I am forced to sell my wife's jewelery as I have no fiat money. I seek advice from expert investors/holders/users of this forum,,,, whether selling my wife's jewelery and investing on bitcoins makes sense? Is it reasonable to invest in gold rather than bitcoin? I would not say it’s unreasonable but it’s one way to secure your investment since gold is proven to be a reliable investment in time. But I believe bitcoin is a reasonable investment too, it’s just that the risk is high so if we can’t handle the pressures investing in bitcoin, then it’s better not to do it from the start. However, if you are deeply convinced that bitcoin is better than gold, then invest it by not disposing your gold investment. You can earn more if you keep both investments in the long term. |

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of "gambling is neither good nor bad". That is really the way people should look at it. It's kind of like doing certain drugs, they may not be bad for you if you do them in moderation and don't let them take over and consume your life. Sure there can be some negative effects, but there's also plenty of positive effects (for certain drugs)..so it's really all about ones mentality of mental strength.
Gambling will never be bad as long as you do it not crossing your limits in gambling. It will only be bad if you make it as your only way to earn a living, that is too absurd to think of. And its always bad actually if you do gambling most of your time, and yet you still end up losing all your funds and become unproductive the whole time. |

Why do people go into gambling?
I asked this question here because I can't get the answer.
However, in my observation, I found out that most people go into gambling because they think that's the easiest way to make big money.
Please is it true?
You just answer your own question to be honest. That might be one of the factors but I think there's a lot of it and it differs from individuals because others might say it's about the money, the others will say it's about the joy they get while gambling, there's no definite answer to it. One more thing, it's not the easiest way to make money, it's likely the opposite and it's to lose money. It could be the easiest way to be an instant millionaire if you are lucky enough to gamble and ends in fortune. But let’s face the reality, this is very rare to happen as most of the gamblers gamble only to lose their money and leave gambling casinos with an empty pocket. Although others would say that they only gamble for entertainment, but actually I find it more odd as I’ve known a lot of gamblers spending money since they also want to chase some profits more than entertainment alone. |

If you say that money is power and education turns into a waste of time, ask yourself whether the hope of getting money is for a completely uneducated person. How? Who has more opportunities to get a rare, well-paid job? Will uneducated people be able to manage something without knowing all the technologies?
I think the answer is obvious. Yes, many in your country are not born with a golden spoon in their mouth; however, I am sure that you know many successful people who were able to achieve everything on their own. In that case, which would you choose, and why could they? Can all students, at the same time, seriously take up their education and not stop it in any case? There is no other way. The choice is always yours: to be poor or to succeed through blood and pain, no matter what.
I would say that money is really powerful these days but here in my country, those who are considered rich and are living in comfort and luxury are mostly highly educated people and have higher positions in the government and have bigger businesses in the country. So having a good education with also developed skills and strategies in life have still an edge over those uneducated people. Although I would not say all since some are born without even attending schools, but it’s rare to see people here living life comfortably just because of pure skills and life strategies and experiences. |

Trading in general — regardless if cryptocurrency trading or not, is such a difficult path to take that you really can't blame people for being skeptical/cautious. Long-term success rates are staggeringly bad that you're better off doing something else instead.
Assuming you're telling a true story of you doing well, don't get too cocky — because not because you did well in the past, doesn't automatically you're going to do well in the long-term.
Trading has always its uncertainties. Even good traders cannot secure profits all the time, as they may eventually lose in some days especially if they trade when the market is not stable. So just be happy because you have made huge profits from trading, but do not expect that you will experience being profitable all the time. And never think that you knew everything about trading, as even professional traders even fail in times when they least expect it. |

You can try to spend less all the time while the future is uncertain. But it wouldn't be right to make the money you save to be untouchable. One that you can do is sell your watch and jewelry to a pawnshop or to your rich friend as your last resort.
It's not good to hide your fiat money these days because inflation will eat up its purchasing power which in the end, you won't be able to buy anything out of it. If there is anything that you could make untouchable savings, its BTC in your private wallet.
Saving does not necessarily mean that you have to save to make it untouchable in the future, instead save so you can have something to spend in the future. And I think a lot are doing this, even preparing theirselves so they won’t have to experience financial problems in the future. However, if you only save to make it untouchable for the rest of your life, that is an absurd mindset, you can’t bring money when you are already in your grave so save now and benefit in it in the future. |

You are a big help in making this ecosystem grow. Access to information about Bitcoin should not be limited to countries with reliable internet access. We can always find ways to introduce Bitcoin to others so they can see the opportunities it presents. It may not be easy for some to understand, but with proper education, they can become more interested in learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Eventually, as they become more involved in the ecosystem, they will not only learn about Bitcoin, but the entire crypto market. Teenagers should not only focus on enjoying their lives, but also think about their future financial capacity. It is a smart initiative to teach them early so they can mature financially at an earlier age.
GREAT JOB OP!

That's the reason why I said that Thurman needs to work and prepare on how to beat Spence Jr., he needs to add more strategy to counter Spence's quick and powerful punches.
Spence may have powerful punches, but I don't think quickness defines him. I even think that the reason why the potential fight against Crawford did not happen is that Spence sees that Crawford has a huge advantage in terms of quickness. We can't tell if who's going to win as both are capable of throwing solid punches that can bring their opponents down
and kiss the floor. Whatever happens, it's best to see a toe-to-toe confrontations with both fighters, it would be an
additional entertainment for the fans and viewers who will spend money to support the fight.
They will have to fight to determine the winner, but we have our favorite fighter that we are rooting for. As for Spence, he is the favorite of this fight, so it's not surprising that most of the comments favor his advantage to win. However, we have to remember that before Thurman lost to Pacquiao, they were of the same status, or Thurman even had the upper hand. |

The first game will start in 10 minutes, so get ready with your streaming platform, guys, so we can also start betting live. Phoenix is the underdog, but I think they are capable of winning, as Converge even struggled against Blackwater, which is a bad team. Remember that Phoenix has lots of veterans who have been in this situation many times, so I like their maturity over the talent of Converge. Therefore, I'm taking Phoenix to win the game."

Finally, Kevin Love has already scored as a Miami Heat player. He scored 13 points in a game against the Hornets, but unfortunately it was in a losing effort. I'm not sure if they are just experimenting with Kevin Love, because giving him huge minutes has resulted in two consecutive losses already. Maybe they will make an adjustment, but I'm not sure how long they will stick with this lineup.
Kevin Love was only a reserve player for the Cavaliers, but now with the Heat, he is a starter. This is a huge difference and I don't know what Coach Spoelstra sees in him.

^^ Yeah, should be in Vegas for that week and it will be huge for the city again as gamblers are going to flock on the city and probably there will be whales along the way to put a bet on this fight and play on casinos as well.
Davis still the huge favorite here, as I have initially, imagine what will be store for us if this two finally do their weigh in and face off. For sure as their is animosity between this two, there will be a lot of bad mouthing and hearing expletive words in the press conference.
I think the OP has to change the date on the thread title. Instead of May, they should put April 2023, as that's the official month when this fight is going to happen. Since this is a big fight, there will surely be a huge limit on it, and both whales and typical bettors will certainly watch this fight. However, since I cannot go, I will just buy the PPV and bet live. I will still be entertained, I guess. Oh ok, I initially thought that April-May is not feasible but I guess both camps are really eager to make this fight as early as April. And yes, gambling capital is the best bet for this fight to take place, win win for both Ryan and Tank as both of their fans can travel to watch the fight. Definitely, if you buy the PPV for sure you will enjoy it, there could be under cards that is great to watch. Upcoming fighters that wanted to make a name for themselves. So change in the odds, Davis still the betting favorite. If you want to do some free streaming, there are certainly plenty of illegal options, but they might not provide the best experience. So, it's okay to spend a bit on PPV. Watch it with your friends and family, and don't forget to place a bet on this specific fight. As for the undercards, I don't know who will be fighting, but they add value to the event, and I will certainly still watch them. |

Lomachenko has predicted that Tank Davis will win against Garcia. 2023 Vasiliy Lomachenko favors Gervonta Davis over Ryan Garcia, talks Fury vs UsykOn a Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia matchup
“I said before it’s very interesting fight. It depends how they prepare for this fight. If they prepare 100%, both, it will be very interesting and very hard for both, tough for both. Because they understand boxing and I think, my opinion, Gervonta Davis will win.
“He’s very technical, he has the power, he has the speed, and he knows how he needs to move. And he always fight with guys who are (taller) than him.” I've also read some posts suggesting that Ryan Garcia doesn't like Lomachenko's prediction and would like to fight Lomachenko after he knocks out Tank Davis. What do you think - is Garcia being too disrespectful by making Lomachenko's prediction too personal? Lomachenko could probably beat Ryan Garcia but that fight will not happen for another 2 years and Lomachenko will be further from his prime and I would give Ryan Garcia the edge because he will develop experience and only get better. Lomachenko can only get worse. Loma wins against Devin Haney and probably pushes to get this Ryan Garcia fight because it will be another big pay check before he retires but I do not think he is taking his career too seriously. He is just fighting so he can earn as much money before he retires. I do not know if he will win against Devin Haney but if he does I think that is the path he will take and will retire shortly after the Ryan Garcia fight. Ryan Garcia might not be interested in Loma if he loses against Haney. Ryan Garcia always looks for big fights that will give him more attraction and money, and I'm sure he is confident enough that he will beat Tank Davis. But let's see if that will happen. Right now, all he can do is use his loud mouth to attract the attention of fans. But once he suffers a defeat, that kind of marketing strategy will no longer be useful for him. |
