It would be a pity to see him retire while he is still young. I hope they treat him like the Warriors did with Thompson and the Nuggets did with Murray. After both players got injured and rested for at least one season, they came back and won a championship. The Bulls are a great team, with Zach LaVine and DeRozan in the lineup, making them very dangerous. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to play at full strength in the playoffs.

He is only 25 years old, so there is still plenty of time for him to play, and his body will recover quickly at his age. Moreover, his father would be proud of him as he has always believed in his son's superstar potential in the NBA. Let's give him time, and he will eventually make a comeback, finishing the season with impressive statistics. The Bulls can patiently wait for his return, which serves as a great source of encouragement for this young superstar. So, let's remain optimistic about his comeback.

However, memecoin is still part of altcoins and altcoins have seasons, namely the altcoin season,
of course there is still hope for memecoin to reach a new all time high,
but we also have to know that what we hope for in memecoin is not from the project or the ROI, but the profit we get and don't be greedy.

Well, all coins including altcoins or meme coins certainly have a future but for meme coins, we cannot really say that its future is as brighter like bitcoin and top performing altcoins. Yes it may have some difference in the future but riding with it is very risky than the ones that has been mentioned first as we don't have any idea at all when will this whales move again and manipulate the market in order to ride the hype in a timely manner.

Eggs are indeed a staple food for many people, and their importance in the diet contributes to their continued demand even as prices rise. Investigating the underlying causes of egg shortages can help identify specific factors contributing to the situation. It could be due to changes in production levels, disruptions in the supply chain, or other factors affecting the availability of eggs in your local market. Anyway, the increase in egg prices in your area is due to a combination of factors, including higher demand for chicken eggs compared to the previous year and potential constraints in factors of production. So when supply and demand are out of balance, prices can rise.

Pretty nice explanation mate and exactly thorough. In simple terms, there could some underlying factors in which explains and made the egg prices to increase.

It's not really a shortage or some manipulation because I believe that manipulating the eggs will be last resort for some businessmen as this kind of product doesn't last that long and will probably cost you some time, efforts and money just to figure out how to preserve it much longer unlike other foods/fruits/vegetables. Either way, the price hike of eggs is just temporary as I don't see any reason that it will not keep up to the supply and demand.
1224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I be profitable in the NBA PLAYOFFS? ===>check inside on: June 13, 2023, 05:46:31 PM
I'm putting my current balance of $72.50 on the Miami Heat moneyline, which has odds of 4.41.

Good luck!

I'm sorry for your loss. It's a pity that the series ended at the same time as your deposit.
Do you plan to analyze your bets, maybe fix something and try a similar experiment again in the future? It seems to me that your main mistake was that you violated the rule about which you yourself wrote. Rebalancing the bet size would allow you to keep at least part of the deposit.

As a golden rule in sports betting, bettors should only put 2% to 5% of the total bankroll into a single bet. Therefore, I will start with 5%, but since this is the playoffs and I find it easy to predict, I may also try a semi-martingale strategy.

Again, even if it is an early pick, we still have some chance to be emotional about it especially if we saw some huge lines on the underdog in which we also think that they stand a good chance against the favorites even if the lines were suggesting the opposite in the first place. The OP's written rule might do the trick but as the playoffs drags, our emotions and analysis drags as well.
Unfortunately, in the case of Miami Heat, they only managed to win 1 game and nothing follows after that.
1225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: June 13, 2023, 05:01:53 PM
In any case, I reckon the sportsbooks might be making a mistake on these new odds. Spence is physically stronger and his skills appear to be very much equal with Crawford, I reckon. Similar to Haney vs. Loma, I change my pick again. I am on team Spence!

I don't think that the sports bookies made a mistake in putting Crawford as their favorite, this punters know how to put and who is going to be the favorite as they look on several factors. And even before the announcement of the fight itself, I think majority thinks that Crawford will be the favorite going into this fight and that's what happen right now.

There are some instances that the bookies made some mistake on their odds because sometimes they failed to have a real pulse on what the people is thinking and the real score between a fight or game, but that's just rare to happen. And a big fight like this? There is exactly no way that these sports bookies will mess up their odds, other than that, the odds presented and published are exactly the ones as well that has been shown in most casinos in Las Vegas, NV.

Yeah, it's rare but it do happens and that's what we call upset and that is why we love to bet on the underdogs too, just like in the Teo Lopez vs Josh Taylor fight wherein Lopez really schooled Josh Taylor the champion and the former unified belt holder at 140 lbs.

And in this case, Spence is the underdog, but who knows, specially for his fight he might be a good bet. Although the difference in the odds is not that big, so still close for some and there are others who think this is still a 50:50 fight.

Looking at their odds, even betting for the bookies favorite, Terence Crawford, is still promising and profitable for me because his odds to win at least for the money line is still above 2.00 while for Errol Spence is a little bit over 3.00 . But the trouble is, even though Crawford have some upper hand in this fight, we cannot really underestimate Errol Spence because even if we don't like him that much or at least for me because of what he did recently, he is still undeniably good when it comes to boxing.

I also quite like KCP because the way he plays, in my opinion, often gives unexpected surprises that makes opposing players a little confused about taking action.

KCP is a good role player because he has matured and has a strong desire to win games. He also knows how to play defense, making his minutes on the floor highly productive, even if he struggles with his shooting at times. The Nuggets were fortunate to have him. If the Lakers had not traded him, he might have been able to contribute to their campaign last season.

He might able to do it but the question will be the same about the Lakers facing the Nuggets, do they have what it takes? I think not. By the way, I almost forgot about Thomas Bryant because since he forced a trade and played in the Nuggets, his playtime became less and less especially in the post season but it seems that he had the right choice because he is now a champion although his presence wasn't the one that helped the team as the Nuggets core can already handle almost all teams in the league.
1227  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: June 11, 2023, 08:04:46 PM
The majority of us live beyond our means, which is one of the primary causes of our ever-increasing habit of borrowing money. Simply put, incomings are outpacing outgoings. It's also getting worse.
This is the main problem that greatly affects the financial condition. income exceeds expenditure is a virus that must be overcome in managing finances. When your financial condition is down, you must be wise in borrowing money because there are several risks that will arise if your finances jam or fail to pay at maturity, one of the risks that cannot be avoided is that the installments will get bigger because the interest and fines continue to increase.
Policies in spending are needed to maintain financial health, you must control your money properly by cutting expenses and spending money wisely. Borrowing money to fulfill desires is not recommended because it will become a burden when paying due to not having a side income source.

The trend of 'living for the now' has indeed led to an unsettling 'outgoings > incomings' equation in many households. That's why we see the millennial generation dubbed as the "debt generation".

The wisdom to borrow is important but often overlooked. Lending platforms will always be happy to dish out loans but forget to add the disclaimer about the snowballing effect of interest and fines. It's like buying a smartphone on a plan and realizing later you could have bought two for the price you end up paying!

However, the solution isn't as straightforward as cutting expenses. It's about understanding needs versus wants and planning expenditures accordingly. A common saying among personal finance geeks is "Don't save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving". Implementing such simple financial principles could be a starting point to financial prudence.


the main thing in borrowing is the the character of the person. Some people and businesses are not good enough to be trusted. They can borrow money and can vanish. while others are very particular about dealing with their finances and these the successful people and business.


As they say, money is the root of all evil

And it's not that new to us when it comes at money because this specific thing can really reveal the person's true character and identity especially if we're talking about huge bulks of cash. Even your friend who you have trusted the most will probably choose the money over you if he's on the edge and will forget what you two have been through just because of that, simple.

It is 100% going to be easy to get visa if you have a ticket.

You have no idea about the US visa system. A few years back, my B1 visa was put on hold for 6 months, just because of some administrative formalities. And many of my friends have faced difficulties with different types of visa. If you are a citizen of some of the developed nations, then it is relatively easy for you to get your hands on a US visa. But if you are from countries such as India and Pakistan, then it takes a lot of background checks and additional verifications to get a visa approved. In short, having a valid ticket doesn't guarantee you a US visa.  
you are very right - I agree with you! It not easy to achieve the US visa and there are so many things which can hinder in you and your USA visa.
Things will be very difficult when it will be USA and Canadian visa.

That is expected because not everyone can or is allowed to enter their countries without such valid reasons or proper requirements. Also, even if there are some requirements laid for almost everyone, it is still not that easy to acquire it because there are still other factors that they should consider before giving the visa. Especially if you're someone from the third world country.

Unless there's a turn of events where Miami snatch the title away from them, which is far, in my personal opinion, from happening.

Jokic will be the finals MVP as all of us witnessed how great he was in all aspects. The numbers state
it all and there's nothing that can steal the title aside from Miami winning the finals, and then again, it was too far
to happen, one more game and it might be the end of this series.
3 games remaining with a result while the Nuggets have a 3 win advantage.
I'm sure the Nuggets will finish the game faster where in game 5 they can have a win so Miami has lost hope of winning.
Nikola Jokic will perform better and it is possible that he will also become MVP in this season.
This would prove to be the strongest in the West region would be victorious.

I think it is already expected that the Miami Heat does have some disadvantage in Game 5 because what happened in the recent games did really put some trauma into their heads as no matter what they have done, they still fail to rally and to survive almost each game in their series. But it's still too early to decide about that mate, the Heat is no that poor in-terms of their performance as they too have managed to have a seat in the Finals, so we will see in the next game what will they do but I do agree that series might have been finished already.

and only uses the money in their pocket or wallet, but for those who have a small income, of course this will never be achieved, many people work 1 month and enough even less for one month's needs so the plan to take a loan to invest in bitcoin is a good idea.
Taking a loan to invest in Bitcoin may not be a good idea for small-income people if there's no guarantee of paying the loan without any issues but there's power to pay the loan I also don't see anything wrong in a taking loan and investing it in Bitcoin.

It entirely depends on the investor and how would he or she assess his situation because I know there are some people/investors who have done it successfully as long as they have completely done their own research in their selected field of investments or specific coin in the world of cryptocurrency, but it is not really advisable especially for beginners because this is an unknown waters that even the experts are still having a hard time.
1231  Economy / Economics / Re: Try to save money while you still can, will you ? on: June 10, 2023, 04:06:34 PM
Although I can't save money. I can't save money. It happens that my expenses are more than my income. But I think every person should save money. Because what do you do when you are old and can't do anything? Then you have to ask someone. It is very important to save money for treatment. Nowadays, people have the most difficult diseases, which require a lot of money. Therefore, it is very important to save money.
If it's important, then save from now even though your income is small. Because that's not the only reason for anyone not to save money in their life, especially if it is to maintain their health and to balance their life in old age if someone doesn't get a pension from the government. Apart from saving money from now on, everyone can also invest in real estate and also in currencies like Bitcoin because these two things can also help someone manage their old age better.

Yes, I definitely agree. Saving is really important because we do not know what will happen down the road and we might need something for emergency purposes but don't forget that saving and investing is two different words with two different meaning because you probably don't want to touch your investments that is supposed to give you profits for future purposes like emergencies and sudden bills that you did not expected.

Errol Spence Eyeing Mega Fight If He Can Get Past Crawford

“We’re not thinking about Canelo right now, but if the fight comes on the table, I’d definitely take that fight.”

“165-168 is more my natural weight and it would be a lot easier for me to make, so I’d definitely take that fight.”
https://boxing-social.com/news/errol-spence-eyeing-mega-fight/

I mean, really? After all the wasted months of going back and forth with Terence Crawford because he's afraid and tried to buy some time even if he doesn't really admit it, people already know the real score. And now he still have the face the brag about taking Canelo Alvarez. Hands down to this man!

What do you think folks?

As what the article suggest, Spence eyeing a mega fight if he can defeat and get past Crawford.

Although it is still not that sure that it will indeed happen, I just cannot weigh it in and believe the fact that Spence is thinking about Canelo Alvarez instead of having his 100 percent focus on his upcoming fight next month because he surely knows that gravity about it as Crawford is not that kind of boxer who can be underestimated and even though he's much older, he can still give a punch that Spence could not possibly forget.

That's too early to speculate though, the focus but both fighters right now is to train hard and beat each other. Crawford is the favorite and so it will make Spence to be motivated. I saw some short reels of Spence, not sure though if this is new or old, but it seems that his hair has grown already. So I assume that he must be in deep trainer already.

I think what Spence said before is that he is willing to go up in weight at 154 lbs and then fight Charlo. Although there's too much complication on it, they have the same trainer and could have some sparring between themselves.

But for fans, let's say we should be more concern of this fight first, this is huge and for the undisputed belt.

That seems to be new if Spence was already growing his hair because that just mean that he is too busy right now to even do some stuffs on the sidelines including a full clean haircut. That is a good news though because I don't want him to think about Canelo for now because he still got a huge fight to face next month and many avid boxing fans have already said that in this fight, Crawford got the upper hand but some also thinks that Spence have it. So, we'll see about that soon enough.

They should understand and know that boxing industry is also a business industry which means that it is almost unavoidable that the sanctioning bodies and promoters will literally take advantage of the situation especially if they know that it will be a huge fight as that will mean a money in their pockets as well. Might be unfair to some, yes, but again, it is also a business.
^Definitely right and I agree.
People should understand and recognize that the boxing industry operates as a business. This means that sanctioning bodies and promoters often seize the opportunity to exploit situations, particularly when there is a highly anticipated fight that promises significant financial gain. While this may appear unfair to some, it is an inherent aspect of the business side of boxing. The financial success of these events translates to financial gains for those involved. Understanding this dynamic is very important to comprehending the decisions and actions taken by various stakeholders in the sport.

Well, they can try and get loud about the issue but it won't go anywhere because it is what it is. Every boxers have their own time to shine and it's up to them how will they take advantage of the limelight while they having the crowd's attention, and if people is not convinced about their skills and ability then there's nothing they can do about it.

People just cannot understand the fact that everyone can be a boxer but only few are born to be a champion and make a difference in the league/industry.

That is surely the reality they are facing and undoubtedly, the boxing industry has been like that since then because after all, it is a business too.
But we cannot expect that all of them will just accept the fact without giving at least some fight because some of these boxers have been persistent and determined enough to reach a much bigger stage for their fight and it is normal if they can see that it is not fair on their sides as they have been working hard as well.

Football fans will benefit the most from the next World Cup. Because maybe the next World Cup will not make the countries as difficult as the Qatar World Cup. This allows football fans to watch and enjoy every match with freedom.

Bold of you to assume football fans did not enjoy the last world cup. The Qatar world cup was among the best world cups ever. I have watched different world cups and the 2022 world cup was the best for me. A lot of controversies, yes we know, but that did not stop anybody from enjoying the world cup. Most of the controversies where just propaganda. What's best was to just block out the negative energy and just enjoy the sport.
I feel lucky because I got to watch the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In 2022, Qatar hosted the best World Cup tournament in history. Those who say they didn't enjoy the World Cup in Qatar, then they dislike Qatar, not the beauty of football. Many people have spread various misinformation about this Middle Eastern country that how the World Cup will be hosted in a desert country but Qatar has taken all the channels and organized the World Cup in the most modern way in the world. Qatar has done more than what was required to host a World Cup tournament. I don't think any country will host the World Cup in the future like Qatar did in the 2022 World Cup.

You're just being too obvious mate and that just shows that you are not well informed about what really happened before, during and after the Qatar World Cup. Moreover, why would the people spread misinformation if they don't have any facts at all? All the information that have been shared all throughout the duration of World Cup has been backed by facts and not just mere misinformation meant to destroy Qatar's image. It's been discussed frequently too, so I suggest you get yourself informed first.

Most of all, I highly doubt that you're in Qatar watching the games live when you're just sitting behind your TV or gadget watching the games.
1236  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: June 08, 2023, 08:16:27 PM
I think the thing that makes a person still poor is difficult opportunities, many people are smart but they don't have the opportunity to work in companies or are given capital for businesses. Of course the role of the government is very important to raise the skills or abilities of its citizens who have potential but don't have the opportunity.
I don't think that's a reason, if someone has the ability and desire then he doesn't depend on other people's work anymore, he can even make his own job, open a business or something else.
Main capital is indeed important, but capital is not always in the form of money, it could be desire, hard work and also ability / knowledge.
never blame anyone if we are still poor, even the circumstances are not wrong.
it's all on ourselves, get up and try harder.
Becoming rich out from poverty is just about passiions, is to have this rich mindset.  Sometimes it must not be money to start up something first or looking for opportunities to hold on but passion is the main thing to become financially okay , and positive mindset.  Passion makes one to start up somewhere no matter how small it is, and it will definitely do well in the future. Government in the society can also be blamed why people still remain poor. If the government is is working Rate of poverty will be very low.
This is indeed often underestimated and I also believe when we have a positive spirit and mindset it will also help us get out of poverty,
indeed it will not happen instantly and of course everything needs a process,
the enthusiasm to keep learning new things and trying is very important.
Only those stay poor who wants to stay poor and those who don't work for their improvement and betterment .
Now there are million opportunities to improve yourself and still if someone don't avail them that their fault .
This is totally on their mindsets some people are satisfied being the way they are.

Everyone has a fair chance to make their lives better and comfortable, it's just that they don't have the right eye to see what and where the opportunities are.

Some factors may exists, yes that is fair enough, but that doesn't mean that you will just wait until someone will spoon feed you everything until you can stand up on your own. It's surely doesn't work like that because we all are able to do it as long as we have the right determination and mindset to do things even if it seems impossible.

then a Jamal Murray PRA 36.5 @ 1.86 on local Sportbook, but If I'm able to get a similar result from the players like they did in the first half, I should have a very decent amount of winnings. 🤞

Nice job! Murray had an outstanding game today and was able to showcase his MVP-level performance. He scored 34 points, recorded 10 assists, and grabbed 10 rebounds. That kind of performance is truly deserving of the MVP title, and it resulted in an easy win for his team. Congratulations on the victory!

Jimmy Butler was just as terrible as you could have imagine and don't let the numbers lie to you, he was awful and play more like coward that isn't built for a NBA finals, zero assists and 2 rebound from a player that's supposed to be the tea leader, minimal fouls drawn while very careless and sloppy with the ball, and unlike him his counterpart Jamal Murray stepped up big time and complimented Jokic and he didn't need to do it alone, I would say a couple of Butler's team had a rough night especially Gabe Vincent with those cheap and awful foul calls, but Jimmy Butler was also not a leader enough to inspire his team imo, he looked really carried away.

I believe we saw the same Jimmy in Game 2, and yet the Heat still managed to win. It's possible that the adjustments made by the Nuggets surprised the Heat, as they struggled to counter the aggressive defense displayed by the Nuggets. The Nuggets were the aggressors in the game, driving the ball effectively and dominating the rebounds. I'm certain that the Miami team will take note of these aspects as they review the game footage.

The pressure is again on the Miami Heat's shoulders now because if they still lose on a back to back homecourt games, it might be hard for them to contend anymore and prevent the Nuggets from winning the Finals because that also mean that the Nuggets will have a 3-1 lead if they can win successively in Heat's homecourt.

Watch out, coach Spo might do something again and I'm pretty much excited to see if he can still make a difference and the team will execute the plan accordingly.

Meanwhile, Teofimo's comment about killing Josh Taylor is foul but actually corny knowing he actually lost his last fight if not for the corrupt judges. I cannot wait for their face-offs. I guess they are expected to be in their own receptions by tomorrow and a press conference is expected to happen later before the weigh-in. Josh Taylor should try something to bully Teofimo and lessen his confidence a bit before fight night.

Yes, probably just to sell the fights because it seems there's no hype here. I mean it's understandable, after Garcia vs Davis and then Loma vs Haney, it's hard to follow on that footsteps unless they really give a fans a good show. And only they can sell the pre-fight if they are going to trash talk and that's what Lopez is good at.

Final press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRUl_dPlll8

The security though, didn't allow for this two to have the face-off, maybe there will be some pushing, hehehe. We will still see them tomorrow for the final weigh-in so it's another must watch for fight fans.

The final weigh-in will be their last chance to actually sell the fight because in the past few weeks, their names just cannot keep up with the big names that has making a noise in the industry and even now that it's already their time, we now have the Spence vs Crawford fight which has been in the headlines for quite some time now. If only the face-off were approved, it could've been a good marketing but sadly, they did not allow it. So, tomorrow will be their very last chance.

Anyone see this news?

Quote
The Phoenix Suns plan to waive veteran guard Chris Paul, according to a report from Bleacher Report/TNT’s Chris Haynes.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that a trade could also be on the table, along with potentially waving and re-signing the 12-time All-Star this offseason.

https://www.nba.com/news/chris-paul-free-agency-phoenix-suns

Ok, so after the firing of their coach, it seems the new owner is making a big chances on the player side as they waived CP3 already and obviously, wanted to clear some space so that they can get a new player. And if they trade him, might be interesting which team and what will be the trading package. Who knows, maybe he can play with Lebron? What's your thoughts?

100%.  I don't know what lebrons future us but he has always wanted a true point guard and one with cp3s caliber.  Would be good for LeBron so he doesn't have to be the point forward anymore either to save on his wear and tear.  I can see cp3 in a Lakers uniform on a vet minimum contract.  At this point he knows his window is all but closed it cant be about money at this point.

I was just reading about this and I’m a bit surprised. Not that the Suns are getting rid of Chris Paul, he’s far from what he used to be and a terrible mentor because he’s a poor sport, but that they’re dumping him for nothing instead of a sign and trade. That basically means they couldn’t find anyone willing to offer anything for him. That surprises me a little. He’s free to play with Bron now though.

Or the Phoenix Suns just have another plan which is why they chose to rid Chris Paul instead of trading him to get a possible good player in return that could somehow be a good asset for the franchise. But I guess that you are right too because before publishing the news, I think it's safe to assume that they have already tried that scenario but nothing came back.

yeah, there's no need to talk about it anymore because the credibility and trust in USDT is really very big,
it's proven that all exchanges use USDT and that can't be denied,
and don't worry about the peged from USDT, it's from real USD, so it's impossible for USDT to be a scam in the future, don't worry.
The fact that many crypto exchange uses USDT was one of the major reason why I also use it though I mainly used it for transaction purposes because my broker adopted it for swift transactions, however I can't hodl my major assets in USDT I would rather store my asset in Bitcoin to avoid unnecessary touching story with regards to the credibility and trustworthy of USDT and nothing is certain among stable coins except the major cryptocurrencies whose credibility is guaranteed and well tasted and confirmed though this is my personal opinion.
generally i guess it's good to store money in USDT only temporarily because the rumours circulating around this stablecoin, I guess bank is just still safer option nowadays to save money,
since even if they went bankrupt there is chance they can still recover back since they got help from government.

There is still no guaranteed even if we say that these banks are backed by the government, if I remember it correctly, there is already a case about that same scenario where the bank did not recover even if they are supposed to get some help. Some are purposely doing it and will just establish another bank with the same affiliates, I don't know why but maybe they are just trying to avoid something including the people's money who trusted their bank.

Anyway, back to the topic, staking or storing in USDT and other stable coins are good but just like what everybody is saying, it is not really advisable to do it long term as you might be in a situation where you didn't imagine in the first place.
