If you don’t have the patience to read and understand every topic that is posted in the forum, you will certainly find it hard how to completely absorb the insights and new ideas from the forum. Just take your time. Do not rush in trying to conquer immediately the forum because this is definitely a huge one.

If I were you, focus first on the interesting topics that made you attracted and in which you have a lot to learn. Eventually, you will be more fascinated to read every thread in the forum once your eagerness to learn has fully developed. When that happens, you can easily join in a discussion where you might be criticized first but then learn a lot eventually especially from those legends in the forum.

You don’t have to be lavish in your marriage anniversary celebration, a simple but meaningful one is good enough. I think that’s what your wife is only longing to have, not exactly as luxurious like you imagined. The important thing is you celebrate it with her, and let her feel that she’s loved and highly valued most especially in your anniversary day. While you have your own logic of that, but I also think your wife’s reason is more valid. I suggest set another date for both of you so you can make it up for her.

Bitcoin is created so we can finally gain freedom from banks and other financial entities. That way, we can take full control of our funds without having interrupted by the government and monitor our finances through banks. This is probably the reason why it’s hard for the government to legalized and accept bitcoin as a currency since they have been thinking that bitcoin will personally overtake fiat and will go against fiat currency system, but in reality only unknowledgeable about bitcoin think that way.

Trading is not like chasing profits and a get rich quick, it certainly follows a long process and if you’re weak, you’ll never manage to overcome the risks but if you’re strong and confident enough, you will win your trades despite of the highly unfavorable market condition. So take your time to learn as there’s no shortcuts to success. While trading can make you instant rich in the process, it can also leave you pocket empty and homeless if you are not patient but chose to be always greedy to find profits despite of how volatile and unpredictable the market is.

Winners of the competition and promotion have probably enjoyed the current bull run. Hopefully, they didn't cash it out right away after receiving it, as the price of bitcoin has increased a lot in the last few days. Congratulations to the winners! I guess no one has claimed to be a winner here on the forum, as I haven't seen any posts about it.

Let's enjoy the bull run now, bitcoin is currently at $62k, new ATH incoming!

Not only Nambatac but also James Yap, both came from Rain or Shine and are now making this young Blackwater team exciting to watch. Hopefully, they'll be able to continue their good start. After all, this is an all-Filipino Cup, so they can showcase their skills to match the best in the PBA or the giant teams. According to reports, fans are eager to watch even during practice just to see James Yap, so that's the kind of champ he brings to the team.

Tomorrow we have 2 games.

DYIP vs Converge and Northport vs NLEX. (These are good match ups, no team here that is heavy favored, so we will be having a hard time to choose)

The Clippers don't have the kind of consistency in the game. I've seen that kind of scenario many times where they are up, and then later, they'll give up a big lead, or it goes the other way around. I think their 2nd unit is not that strong, even though they already have Westbrook, and PG was really important, especially against the Lakers team who are healthy at the moment. The good thing about the Clippers is that they were able to build a good standing now, so despite this struggle, they are still likely to make it to the playoffs.

As per the report, there is no definite time as to when he'll return, but the word "soon" guarantees it.

Most likely, after this rapid growth, a price correction might follow. So there is still nothing new with how bitcoin moves. It might take differently but it will still go back to its basic. The important thing here is we don’t panic after a price decline. Old investors might not see any problem but with new investors, this will really put their faith for bitcoin into test, but end up selling earlier so they can avoid too much losses. Volatility is bitcoin’s nature, so expect that we will witness price fluctuations any moment from now.

I cannot tell for now if he’s actually true to himself about embracing bitcoin. Politicians may be deceiving with their promises, and they will do everything just to make them real for us. But if what he says about bitcoin is true, surely that will make him the bitcoin community’s favorite. With the unstoppable progress and growth of bitcoin, I guess any president will find it hard to stop his people from embracing bitcoin, and probably that’s his realization as of this moment.

I was already gambling even before I started using crypto; I just gamble more often once I fell in love with crypto, as at the same time, I made money from it. So, I have already had extra funds to gamble. And crypto gambling is easier than fiat gambling; back in the day, the anonymity was very valuable, unlike now that KYC is a pain in the ass for most.

I think they are helpful. With a big number of members in the forum and we also have a lot of gamblers, if we keep ourselves involve in the discussion, not only we will learn the game but we will also learn how to become more discipline.

Yes, since it's easier to gamble now with fiat using our popular digital wallet. Gambling with crypto now is still fine with me, though sometimes the fees are high and sometimes casinos require KYC already, but it's where I started so I'm supporting it.

Best is when I win some big parlay bets. Worst if I won't be able to enjoy the win as I'll gamble it again and sometimes I lose control, you know chasing bets always kills us gamblers.

Been there, done that. you mean time?.. Maybe a week...

I'm betting on basketball, so not really into over/under goals, I think that's on Soccer.
recommending a sportsbook to be particular since my friends are gamblers too, but they are quite new in crypto, so I'm giving them alternative.

Most of the time. I read some article that betting against the public produce success, so I tend to follow it.

For now a hobby maybe, but I'm trying to make it as a job, provided I'll earn the skills I need to.

Sure thing, I'm still gambling without signature but would probably not so active in the forum.

Can't tell any. I guess they already have what I wanted.

The sports betting topics, when posters are discussing the team to bet, it's really helpful as we can follow those posters that are good in predicting the outcome.

I guess I posted it all. just want to say thank you for this thread, and I'm happy to get interviewed.

They won't notice it because they won't accept that they are already addicted to gambling. We are responsible for our own actions; if we get addicted, that's our fault. I don't see gambling addiction being blamed on the gambling industry because, just like in the normal world, there are people who violate the rules. So, those addicted to gambling violate the principles of gambling. As long as not everyone is addicted, it's not a serious issue. Besides, casinos provide revenue to the government through taxes, so they are a big help.


It would be nice if you could prove that you are winning most of the time. Maybe it's time to create your own thread so you'll be able to help people win in sports. I'd like to see your winning rate and how it will translate to profit. I'm just interested, as I'm not that consistent with "winning most of the time."

Yes, the price of bitcoin is very impressive as of today. Lucky are those who have invested when the price was still in $25k-$30k as they can decide to  sell their coins and gain massive profits already. However, the opportunity is still here if you are planning to enter the market and invest in bitcoin for long term. As long as bitcoin price performs positively, there will always be opportunities for those who wish to invest in bitcoin.

Now, talking if it’s going to reach $100k in 6 months. Yes it’s highly possible but we can’t also deny the fact that bitcoin price could suddenly crash and eventually we will witness another price decline. Bitcoin is highly volatile so better expect the unexpected. Same with if it will go above $150k by December, that depends on the price status of bitcoin that time and if it will still be making a consistent price increase in the market.

Losses will certainly happen whether you invest with small or bigger amount of capital. The challenge here is don’t trade unless you are ready. You should be prepared in terms of unstable market conditions, and be prepared to control or manage your emotions when your trades do not cooperate with you. Traders are always bound to lose and be in profits at some point, but you can always redirect yourself to which you think you will mostly profit, even if it means leaving trading and focus on long term hodling.

Some gambling games also require skills more than luck. But since the casino has always an edge over its players  and the casino house should always be on the winning side, the chances to gain profits is still low. Although some are winning exceptional amount of profits, but eventually when the gamblers stay betting, the casino will also get it back gradually until those profits have turned into zero.

However, in trading, skills and right strategies will always dominate a positive outcome. If you are a well-experienced and an expert trader, the chances to stay profitable is certainly high, but also since the trading market is quite uncertain and you have no idea how the prices of those coins move in the market, at least you still need quite of luck to stay successful on your trades.

There's no problem with gambling on a daily basis as long as everything is under control. For some, gambling is just entertainment, so if they are gambling daily, that makes them happy daily. People should stop judging those who gamble constantly as irresponsible, since gambling is created for entertainment, and it always depends on the gambler himself if he will stay disciplined or not.

Betting strategies may differ, but as long as the outcome favors you, you should stick with that. Most of the time, the only problem is ourselves. Although the strategy is already perfected, the lack of implementation could ruin it, and that is because of our sensitive emotions.

A rematch? I don't think it's necessary for that. Ancajas looked easily beaten by the champion, so he doesn't deserve to get a rematch. He has to go back to the start and formulate a strategy to start winning. Probably, next time he becomes a mandatory challenger, he would have something more special to offer, not the way he fought as we all witnessed. Going into the fight, I think we were all hyped up since finally, we had a Filipino challenger who could possibly become a champion, but it turned out to be a disappointment.


I'd say he has the quickness, though moving up might affect his speed. As I've observed, he is not a heavy hitter, so he might struggle against a heavier boxer. However, it's very clear that moving up is not in the mind of Takuma yet. What he wants is to become an undisputed champion in the current division. So, we might see more fights from him, and I'm not sure if he'll successfully defend his belt in all of his upcoming fights.

Talo ang magic sa point spread, 2-3 kabayan, pero muntikan na rin itong wolves, buti last minute nag run kaya na cover yung spread. Congrats, at least hindi ka lugi sa  mga bets mo.

@inthelongrun
Gandang laban itong Suns at Lakers, bumalik na pala si Nurkic, kaya malaki ang chance nilang manalo. Dikit lang ang laban ngayon, pero since losing streak na ang Suns, gusto ko ang spot nila na mananalo sila ngayon. Saka ang aga pala ng larong ito, pagising ko 1st quarter na, good luck kabayan.

Actually both teams kailangan manalo kasi mababa rin ang ranking ng Lakers, ang maganda sa larong ito ay kumpleto both teams, parang playoffs atmosphere na rin.

You are not alone in thinking he could pull off a win against the Japanese, but it turned out he was not 100%, as he easily gassed out. The game plan wasn't working, and yet he wasn't making adjustments. It looks like he wanted to knock out Inoue, but unfortunately, his punches did not possess the power to make it happen. I'm not sure what's next for him, but hopefully, he will be given a chance again to redeem himself, and he still has the pride since he was a former champion, although not in this particular division.

Better if we have, but unfortunately, there's no website yet that is as popular as those that record statistics in NBA games. So for now, we can just rely on what we remember about these two teams and do some further research. It may sound challenging, but it's never impossible to find information that would help us analyze the game we are betting on. At least, let's not bet blindly on this.


They look prepared, and the game is already ongoing. We are in the first quarter now, and just like the Philippines game vs Hong Kong, it's a close game.

I just saw the betting odds for the game tonight between Gilas Pilipinas and Chinese Taipei. We thought -10 is high, but it's actually -24.5. Now, who has the courage to take that high spread? Personally, I have a little doubt about this, as it is the first time I saw the Philippines as a heavy favorite in the FIBA Asian Qualifier, and they are up against a decent team, albeit lower in ranking than the Philippines.

I might try to have some fun here; maybe I'll bet on the opposite team, as they have a very attractive x20 moneyline odds.
