Here is my bet for Rio Major later



Navi and Vitality are shaky this season. There are times they have a huge lead in the first half and when they switch sides, they throw all that lead away and lose the game. But I still believe in them, and I am sure they will be able to beat their respective opponents.

mouse and outsiders are a toss coin. Either of this two can win this match. I am just going with the one that has a better odds, and in this match, it is the outsiders.

I am yet to have a good win in CS, and I hope this time it will go well.

First part of my parlay checked. Now the Jazz has to win against the Clippers later.

I'm surprised why Utah Jazz has decent odds against the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers won't even play.

Utah Jazz is even performing well compared to Clippers as if we looked at their game history this season, Utah Jazz beats some good teams compared to Clippers.

Goodluck mate and I think you will nail that parlay.

Thanks! I did nail the parlay thanks to Jazz winning it against the Clippers. This young Jazz are for real. They are making the right plays all the time. I am gonna ride them again in their next match.

Another upcoming loss for the Lakers. 3:33 minutes remaining and the score is 109-95. Too much wasted outside shooting from the Lakers while they were given good shots by the Cavs.
These last minutes, no more Lebron, Davis, and Westbrook, they're just giving play time to their bench players. Well, another accepted loss by the Lakers on their home court.

The Big 3 of Lakers perform well but the teamwork of Cavs give the win, a 14 point deficit which is mostly because of shared ball movement.
It only means that the Lakers have to work better than everyone else. They're now dwelling in losses and if this continuous then this is going to be another sad season for the whole Lakers and the investment that they've taken for these players are not worth it.

I do not think it is a total loss, not just yet. Everytime I see Westbrook taking control of the ball, there are always easy two's for Lebron or Davis, whoever is available. I think they are getting the right plays but the fire power is really not yet enough. I think they will start winning when they secondary units starts to be comfortable with each other and their outside shooting is fixed. It is early in the season and a lot has to be done but I right now, I see some sparks of improvement.

I thought that the Pelicans are the team to watch out this season, but it seems that the Jazz are the one to watch out. I mean we are expecting them to be in a rebuilding phase when they traded Mitchell and Gobert, but they surprised everybody with how they played in their last 11 games. Currently 2nd place in the west, the Jazz really got underrated players during the off-season in exchange for their 2 former superstars. Markkanen, Sexton, Beasley and they also got Olynyk who is a big that can shoot threes and can pass. They got a veteran in Conley and a rising star in Clarkson. I hope that they will maintain their way of playing all throughout the season to be in the playoffs.


They are all very young with only a few players above 30. I do not expect injuries to interfere with their run. These young players can stay healthy and maybe can play all 82 games. So I expect them to maintain the way they play the whole season. It is upon the opponents to figure out how to stop their impressive plays. Their problems will be in the playoffs because they do not have enough veterans to guide them but that is too far in the season yet.
1243  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC, more closer bullish days ahead. on: November 06, 2022, 11:53:12 PM
Analysing the BTC price some days ago on the daily chart in reconciliation to the bull momentum it enjoyed within the past few days and still fluctuating around $20300 and $20600 the past few days, for many persons, the impression of buying long wouldn't be a bad idea as BTC value could hit at $22,400 presumably above by January or February  2023 based on personal speculations.
What do you think? Do you also see the BTC  promising price future am seeing irrespective of the great role volatility  plays in the market, and shouldn't be undermined as price can go south at any seconds or am I just the only one seeing it.

I do not see the price of bitcoin rising early next year. We may have a small pump this year, especially this month, but I think that's it. The market is still very volatile right now and the most I expect is a little pump this month then will eventually go down next month that will continue unto the following year. It is normal that there is a small pump in November as it is always like that in the previous years as well.

As most are expecting, there will be no major pump until the next halving or the year after the halving. It is already an established pattern unless it is broken this halving. I am inclined to prepare for that event rather than catch the small pumps here and there en route to the bull market after the halving.

These last minutes, no more Lebron, Davis, and Westbrook, they're just giving play time to their bench players. Well, another accepted loss by the Lakers on their home court.

They have third-quarter woes. They were performing very well in the first half of the game, but they are totally dominated in the second half. Their offense is not really good in the third quarter unlike in the first half. They still have a decent defense but that is not enough to win games. Once the Cavs started hitting their shots, the Lakers cannot catch up because they have a very poor offensive game. Their outside shots are not connecting so the Cavs only have to tighten the defense inside the perimeter and the game is over. The same story for the Lakers and I think this will continue unless they find somebody who can shoot outside to spread the defense for them.

First part of my parlay checked. Now the Jazz has to win against the Clippers later.

1245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 06, 2022, 10:26:21 PM
The first game was boring as expected, Magnolia did dominate the Blackwater with a 22 points victory. But the good news is we are about to witness now the game between SBM and BGSM, I'm sure this will be a close one in which either team could win.

I know Brownlee is good but they are not the number 1 team this conference, so SMB has a chance to win.
As expected the intensity of the game between SMB and Ginebra are very high, Ginebra completes the comeback and the last three point shot by Scottie was amazing. Another loss for SMB where they almost have the chance to take this game unfortunately they failed. They are rumors again about this game but I think that is just a rumor and Ginebra really shows a great game against SMB, they deserve the win.

I did not know that the Gins were able to make a comeback. I stopped watching when the lead was double-digit. I thought it was give me this game between sister companies to improve the standing of San Miguel. I guess I was wrong. Now I need to watch the highlights to watch what happened.

I do not know if San Miguel will be able to play in the playoffs. They have tough matches up ahead. They are against Magnolia, Phoenix, Terrafirma and TNT. 3 of those teams are tough team to beat and without June Mar, I am not sure they will be able to win to improve their standings. They are now at #8 with 3-4 win-loss record, tied with NLEX.

Right now the game of Los Angeles Lakers VS Cleveland Cavaliers is commencing and the Lakers is on the lead right now with 35 - 29 but here is my take on my pick for today's game,

Russel Westbrook is having a good game. 12 point in 5/6 of shooting and it is just the start of the second quarter. I bet on cavs here and my bet is looking bad. The score is just close though, so there is still a good chance I can still win this game.


Los Angeles Clippers VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.62 for the Clippers and 2.37 for the Jazz, For me I like how the Jazz is performing this time, and right now Luke Kennard and Kawhi Leonard can not play for the Clippers until November 7, while Leandro Bolmaro can not play while Jarred Vanderbilt is questionable, but for me, I don't mind the odds and this could be an upset and my pick is Utah Jazz,

I also took Utah Jazz against the Clippers. I am just riding the unpredictability of the Jazz this season. It is still very early in the season so I figured they will not be figured out yet by the top team.

Even though Leonard and Kennard are out of this game, the Clippers are still a very formidable opponent with PG13 and John Wall healthy. Plus the bench of Clippers is very deep. Jazz has their work cut out for them.

Good luck with out bets
1247  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull or bear November? on: November 06, 2022, 01:00:20 PM
We have a good first week of November. If the upward movement of the price of bitcoin continues, we can say that November is a bull month.

Normally, November is the month when the price is in a positive movement. I am confident that we will experience the same this year as indicated by the first week's movement. I am expecting this upward movement to continue until Thanksgiving and will start to decline after that.  Maybe we will be back to the 19K to 20K movement at the start of next year.

The market is affected by macro news for a long time and there will never be a case where the market goes up while inflation or war goes on, that is our slim hope but the truth will not be like that. The possibility of bitcoin recovering back to $25k by year-end remains but that doesn't mean it's a sign of bull season. Not only are we affected by the economic situation, but we should remember that the bull market only comes when the halving happens and we are very far from that date.

I also don't expect a bullish movement that will grant us a new all-time high, but I am expecting a little bullish movement here and there until we reach the halving. I believe we will experience a little bullish movement this November.
1248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 06, 2022, 10:51:27 AM
Irving situation could actually mean something good for Nets as well. I believe that if they could somehow manage to just tank this year, which will be very hard when you have Durant on your team, then you could literally rebuild faster while also having some assets. Like for example it should be insanely easy to give Durant to some other team and get some picks in return.

There is a big big reward at the end of the stick, it's Wembayamba and everyone wants him, it is like one of the most all time awaited picks since Lebron I believe, I don't remember that much hype around anyone else since that day. Every team should tank to get him, and give all their players for picks.

Even if they tank, it will still be a lottery so they are not assured that they will get Wembayamba. And I do not believe that 1 man can make the whole team a champion. They still need to build around that guy. The nets have tried that with Durant, and they failed. I think, the whole organization should improve so that they can be a championship caliber. I do not know what is wrong with the Nets, but they seemed to fail as an organization. They have the best players in the NBA, but they cannot seem to be the championship team that they should be.

Giannis-less Bucks was still better than OKC, a team effort that established decent lead.
Yeah, no Giannis, no problem.
I think they are looking out to achieve a new season record in the league. If they can keep this up there's no doubt they will be able to get it.
Avoiding a loss even after a back-to-back game is something to celebrate. It's a rare phenomenon.

It seems that they are still on track for a good season record in the league. And even without Giannis playing they still won big and again, for Bucks backers, it's a sure win as they cover the spread.

I am yet to watch a game from the Bucks, but I am hearing a lot of good remarks for them this year. I should follow them this year and see how great Giannis and the Bucks improved from last year.

This is my bet for today



Los Angeles Laker vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Every time I see the Lakers against a good outside shooting team, I know they are in trouble. I am betting on the Cavaliers this time to beat Lebron and the Lakers. The Cavs always win this season when they are favorites, I am hoping they will keep that record pristine.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz is an underdog this season 8 times, and they were able to win 6 of those times. I am betting that they could extend that probability against the Clippers today. The Clippers though are coming from a 3-winning streak, and they are trying to extend it in the Crypto.com arena. The Utah Jazz is supposed to be tanking this year but surprisingly, they are winning a lot. Maybe because they are very unpredictable this year. I am banking that they can continue to be on the top of the West next to the Suns.
1250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your winnings lured someone into gambling ? on: November 05, 2022, 05:25:51 PM
As a gambler we see winning big as success is gambling, do you share and celebrate your winning story with friends ?

If it is something epic or a jackpot, why not? I would share the story with friends because I feel good. Sharing good stories with friends is awesome. And also, most friends treat each other if one of them gains easy money. So, while having a good time, sharing how they got the money would be a topic.

Have your winning story or celebration lured someone you know into gambling because he wants to win big like you
                                 OR
Have you ever taught or predicted a game for someone which turn out to be a win,how big was it ?

I know I was influenced to gamble because of good stories in gambling and the wins they have. But I do not share stories with non-gambling people because I do not want to be the one to open them to gambling. I know gambling can be addictive, so I avoid influencing non-gambling friends into gambling.

With the exception of Chipmixer, all the other signature campaigns are Crypto casino based, some are still for many years this is big proof that the Crypto casino industry is booming and the ICOs days are over, seven years ago all the signatures you see here are all Cryptocurrency projects.

I wish we could see the numbers that can support this claim. Is there a tool or post that monitors the active signature campaigns running? Without numbers, we cannot see the real stats. Maybe we are just overwhelmed by the number of posts gambling signature makes a day.

Will Bitcointalk become known as a gambling forum?
Will the days of the altcoins signature campaign return in the future?

I hope not. Bitcointalk is a forum about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I hate that it would diminish to a single section just because cryptocurrency's most usage is casinos and gambling.

Warriors are playing in a relax mode right now and to be perfectly honest it has been not even 10 games since the season started.

So you are saying that because the Warriors are relaxed, we will disregard the reasons why they lose on some of their games?

I know this is just a season game and different from the pressure of playoffs game but saying the Warriors are just relaxing is discrediting those teams who beat them, especially with the previous one, Orlando Magic.

Being relaxed is not in the vocabulary of the whole Golden State Warriors. They lose because of a problem and that's what they need to figured out.

Yeah, that is a complete disrespect to the effort of the teams that beat GSW this season. I do not think any team in NBA is taking it easy or feel relaxed on games. The competition is very high and even lower teams can give good competition against top teams. If you relax, even if you are the top team, other teams will roll over you and you may find yourself in a difficult situation comes playoffs.

.... who happen to just not have the chemistry they so famously had so far
I don't get this. Did I miss some big trades that would make GSW look like a new team? They are practically the same team that won the league last season as far as I know.

I think everyone agrees that they're a great team. They'll probably be in the top 5 by the end of the year.

They are a great team, but they are lacking defense right now. They let go of GP2 this season so the defense that comes from him has to be filled up right now. And their bench is not quite what they have last year. Maybe a few more games and the bench players will be able to help them like how the bench players helped them get a championship last season.

Taking some action in Rio Major. I am taking Faze in this match against C9. In my opinion, C9 is quite shaky in this tournament. There are some matches that they should take easily but was given a hard time by their opponents and now that they are against Faze, a very talented team, C9 will have a hard time winning this game. If Faze starts hot, Faze can easily overwhelm C9 and take the game.

1254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 05, 2022, 03:17:16 PM


New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics

Both teams are coming off a win in their last game, but I believe the Celtics are the one who will have a streak in here. Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum are hot against the Bulls and that could spill over in Madison Square Garden. I am sure Brunson and Barrett can give them problems, but Brown and Tatum are a better pair against these two.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Oklahoma City Thunder

I am riding the winning streak of the Milwaukee Bucks in here. They seemed to be unbeatable this season, especially from a team coming from the east. Giannis is very dominating and seemed to be peaking this season. This guy is unstoppable right now.
1255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 04, 2022, 08:08:32 PM
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.


It is still too early in the season. They have plenty of time to go back to the drawing board and figure out what is keeping them from winning. A lot of teams that started poorly early on the season came back strong and finished strong. We know the warriors are strong since their core is still complete and their young cores are performing well. It is just a matter of time before we see them winning again.

Defense, they played very poor defense in the second half, they allow a lot of second chance points for the Magic.  They can't get the rebound even in the free throw and then they commit useless foul.

Their offense no doubt is still there with Steph Curry, but something has change regarding their defense this season. I think Steve Kerr knows this and for sure they wanted to snap that losing streak and take a win.

Yeah, I noticed that too. They do not have GPII which is a very good defender coming from the bench. That guy is good in offense and defense. Steve Kerr need to develop someone from this current roster that they can rely on defensively. They already have too much fire power. If they can get someone who can fill up their defensive needs, then we will see them win again.
1256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal. on: November 04, 2022, 06:57:49 PM
I do not think that a minimum deposit will not halter a gambler from using a website as long as it is secure and he enjoys playing at that casino. But first-time users will try to deposit a minimum amount just to test the new casino. I do not think new users will risk a high amount to new casinos.

actually people are more interested in deposit bonuses and promos than looking at the minimum deposit amount, anyways if you make a deposit of $ 1 I think it's too little to play and have fun on a gambling site, at least $ 5 to $ 20 is too small in my opinion to deposit and play at gambling sites,

I agree. Who wants to deposit $1 or less in a gambling site? Even if the minimum bet is one satoshi. When you win you won't win anything.

If you want to test the site out or test if a deposit will push through, the minimum deposit or the lack of it will matter. Other than that, it is better to deposit a bigger amount to avail of the promos or bonuses.

1257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 04, 2022, 04:00:36 PM
Bad loss for the Warriors. They need to talk this one out and review why they keep losing a huge lead during the last minutes
defense needs to be adjust base from how I assess the system.

They really need to. If only the game is close, then I don't see it as a big deal if the Warriors lose even if that was against an Orlando Magic.

The Warriors blew their large lead and they remained comfortable because of that. They thought a team like Magic don't have the ability to do a big rally.

Much worst that they gave up 130 points for a non-offensive like Orlando Magic. It means their defense is at worst on that game for a considered contender team in the league.

I also noticed that. Actually, most of the games this year of the warriors are high scoring. There is just too much offense and less defense already. We know that that type of game cannot secure a championship. I think the rockets proved that to us already. They are offense centered and they can't win a championship. The Warriors need to adjust their defense. Klay is not that strong in defense anymore since his injury. Steph and Poole better step up their defense if they want to defend their title.

They manage to win but I think it was a lucky win, they need to prove that they really have fix their problems and that is by winning with a decent margin and controlling the game. The first win was pretty convincing, the 2nd one is just luck.

Well, luck is also a part of basketball. Some shots fall your way, sometimes they don't. The important thing with the Lakers is that they were able to get something out of their roster. It means they can improve on it and get some more wins. At least they have a set that could work and beat other teams. Maybe they can push that to defeat the Jazz too.

Next is the Utah Jazz game, it won't be easy for them to win this game. But if they can win, it would be great for the Lakers Smiley

This would not be easy by the Lakers, Jazz is doing very well this season, their teamwork is very impressive, so I'm thinking they'll bounce back after a lose to the mavericks.
I guess we will see that later. It is not easy to conclude that they can't win against the Jazz. They still have their stars healthy so far. I think we will see a good game.

Here is my bet for tomorrow



Philadelphia Sixers vs New York Knicks

James Harden is out for the month because of a right foot tendon strain and Joel Embiid is questionable. But I think the remaining Sixers are still enough to beat the knicks in their match.

Detriot Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers

With Donovan Mitchell with the Cavs this year, I do not think that the Cavs will lose against the Pistons. Even on the road, I think the Cavs have enough firepower to overpower the Pistons.
1259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 04, 2022, 02:22:37 AM

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.

While he is getting used to his new role, the Lakers are gaining momentum to make straight wins but the real test will be in their next game vs the Utah Jazz where undeniably one of the best in the west. But the Lakers will gonna do their best and will try everything they can to keep winning every single game from now on. So it's better to assume that they will gonna fight for it and let's just hope no injuries will haunt them sooner since they are now obviously making difference from their last games.

If they can beat Zion, CJ, and the Pelicans I think they have a higher chance of beating a rebuilding team without superstars in their team. The advantage of Jazz is they are unpredictable, and they are young and hungry. I am thinking Lebron, AD, and Westbrook would be able to handle them with the help of the young players of the Lakers. It would be a good match even though Lakers and Jazz are far apart in the standing. Now that Lakers are finding their groove, they can give the Jazz a good game.

The Nets drama continues. This time the Nets management released a statement regarding the Irving situation, and it looks like they are pretty mad at him since they mentioned that he is currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets. In other words, they have decided to suspend him for at least 5 games without pay. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Irving missed a lot more than 5 games because of this situation.

They are on a losing streak, and they suspend one of their stars. Another long losing streak again for this team. They are lined up against Wizards, HOrnets, Mavs, Knicks, and Clippers. I do not think they can beat any of these team without Kyrie.

The man's reasoning is reasonable, but in my personal opinion this is an irresponsible act, he should as a husband, be honest with his wife or children and even if they turn into lazy, he just needs to educate them hard.

what do you think, is the man's action right or if you experience it (win a big jackpot) will you do as the man did or even be honest with your victory to your family??

I understand the man. He just don't want his kids to rely too much on the money and do not understand the concept of hardwork. Some kids are like that, they rely too much on their parents for money especially if they know the parents have too much. Also, some people cannot handle having too much money all at once. Just like me, I am used to having just enough money. If I have too much money, all I think about is how I will spend it. Before I know it, all the extra money is gone. Maybe the guy is thinking that way too. He is just thinking his kids and wife will change their attitude towards money if they know that they have a lot of extra money. I would do that too, hid the money from them, at least until I know they are mature enough to handle large amount of money.
