They also acquired Gobert to help their team on the defensive side, and they were ready to play the twin towers but then this thing happened. Gobert did not understand how important his role was to the team, and he messed up their opportunity to make the playoffs. So with what happened, I doubt the team would still keep him.
Would be nice if Wolves win their games without Gobert and then start losing them, once he is back. That would mess him and the team up so much. It would be hilarious.

Nah, I’m looking forward to watching them get smashed tonight. I think the Lakers are going to be firing on all cylinders and they just picked up a point guard for the purpose of shutting down Ja Morant so they must feel pretty confident about tonight. I’ll definitely be watching.

The playoffs (ins) are here! Happy days ahead.
It's gonna be a fun series, with Ja vs Lebron and the whole team involved in trash talking. And without Gobert that can give the Wolves like 10+ rebounds, they Lakers will be happy about that. But the Wolves are still a very dangerous team so they shouldn't underestimate them, Edwards for sure will want this game, so I expect him to go like 30 points and try to make it as very close game.

They are the underdog 4:1 and -6.5 handicap. And there are reports that KAT is going to play as well.

How do you think the game 2048 is suitable for gambling in casinos? Before I started playing in casinos, in my free time I played 2048, I somehow think that in casinos this game will be a success, the game should be with a cashout.  What do you think about it? Huh

Oh ok, so this is a skill base game, so I doubt that this will be in casino floors for long time. It's business for this casinos, and if they can't make money and if they don't have the edge then they will not let this kind of games.

As others have said, it's very easy for individuals who are brainy enough. We have seen alot of attempts to cheat casino and they are not successful. So do you think that they will simply allow this game and have individuals win every time? Not gonna happen in the long run.

I think every gambler has experienced this at one point, of course we always want to be in control of our emotions, but during long runs of playing, sooner or later you are going to tilt. The best way to deal with it is just to stop, and take a break easy as that.

Not just in games like poker, but even if you do sports betting, you are also going to experienced it. You become reckless, out of control and out of the norm you bet on teams or look for great odds. But at the back of your mind, you know that is is the worst teams to bet. So again, if you have this sign, it's not good to continue gambling as you are obviously going to lose.

The Suns are expected to rest Booker, Durant, Paul, & Ayton tonight against the Lakers. This is a game the Lakers desperately need to win and with the Suns resting all their guys, they should be able to get it done. A shame because this would have been one hell of a matchup. I guess I don’t have to be sad anymore that I won’t be able to watch the game.

Still, maybe an opportunity to bet on the Lakers with some decent odds.
The Bucks is already resting Giannis and the rest of the starters against the Memphis.

While Memphis is going full force in this game with Ja Morant still in the floor in the first quarter. So far it's close, but I wouldn't be surprised if Memphis will take this game in the 4th quarter.

So time for this bench warmers to see action, gonna be good for them as they could be needed in playoffs.

Odds is 9.5/-9.5 in this game.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: April 08, 2023, 12:23:37 AM
Yes, it's a huge chance for Donaire to be a champion again or even unify all the belts. I think that's what he is doing now and taking advantage while there are no boxers that can be a threat in the division that can probably face him. Well, if time permits, Nonito will and can surely unify all the belts at 118. For now, let's see him fight because his last fights weren't that flashy anymore.

Not unless Nonito Donaire will lose this fight against Santiago, I will still stick to my personal belief that Donaire can stll dominate the bantamweight division despite his age now that Inoue is now out of the said division. Seeing the current rankings at the 122 across all boxing organizations, it's only Jason Moloney for can give a tough fight to Donaire.
I agree, Donaire even at his age, is going to be one of the biggest punchers in this division and most likely hard to beat byt those rank players. Only Moloney will have a chance by he doesn't want to fight Donaire yet, as you have said he might be waiting for Donaire to age more.

But seems Moloney still recognize Donaire's power and try to delay the time they will face soon by backing on the fight. It will result for them to meet each other at the possible unification fight if they will be both become champion but at that time will happened, Donaire is aging more.
We might see this fight down the road, there has been a huge shakeup in Probellum, the once Bob Arum is accusing that is being run by Irish Mafia and that's why he refused to work with them with Richard Schaeffer and Donaire was still under that promotional company.

Now that Richard is out of Probellum, he brings himself Donaire and Stanionis. So maybe if both will win their fight, we might see the unification fight in the future.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Shuichiro Yoshino April 8 on: April 07, 2023, 11:47:02 PM
^ It seems that Stevenson didn't go anything hard to make the cut in this division as he was below the limit. And as everyone is expecting how this fight will be, it could be one sided beating for the the Japanese.

He seems to be smiling though, not sure how to read this, could be he is confident that he can shock the world with a win here, or doesn't know the magnitude of this fight and will just go on with the motions against Shakur.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Champions prediction. on: April 07, 2023, 08:10:53 AM
I have the GSW and voted for them. Yes, they are not that complete this season, but they still managed to survived and land on 6th place right now. I thought that they are going to be eliminated, but then when Steph comes back from injuries, he bring the team to above .500 and now are able to maintain it.

They still have Wiggins to comeback, and the last time we heard, he will not be back in the regular season, but it doesn't mean he won't be playing in the playoff. And with GPII back in the lineup, it will be very difficult to whoever teams are going to face them in the playoff, and in a series. Sacramento is a good team no doubt, but if by chance they are match against the Warriors in the playoff, it will be very difficult for them.
1288  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much return are we expecting next bull run? on: April 07, 2023, 07:57:43 AM
I think a bull run can happen at any time, it doesn't matter that the current price looks lower than before, but as long as the whales are raging it will make it easy for the price to skyrocket, as happened before, in 2017 the price started the year under $ 1000 but the end of the year once touched $ 19k.

It's a cycle though, bulls and bear market, so in any case there will be a bull run, a final catalyst will be the block halving which is still still a year from now. We can look at bitcoin's previous history, like you have said, in 2017, it was under $1k and then goes off to $19k, that is a huge growth. But you can really compare it's massive growth every bull cycle though, because it's going to be very difficult to hit that multiplier. The growth will somewhat slow down. That's why the prediction might be a conservative 2x so maybe $120k in the next bull run, not that bad assuming we all have save a lot of bitcoin in this period or bear market.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: April 07, 2023, 04:22:19 AM
Meanwhile, Josh Taylor's rival Jack Catterall just signed with Matchroom Boxing. He is looking forward to shaking the dust off being also inactive for a year after delayed negotiations and cancellations to the supposed rematch with Josh Taylor. He also believed Teofimo Lopez will win over Josh. Although his prediction might be biased, he might be annoyed with Josh knowing most of the public thought he won the belts and then comes his inactivity after hoping for the rematch to happen.
Good, I think at this point, whether US or London based fighters, Matchroom has done so much with it's fighter and we have to commend Eddie Hearn. Not sure if I heard it that he will be fighting Prograis next and the schedule is May 27? or his opponent is not name yet?

Josh Taylor on the other hand seemed to be too confident despite his inactivity and poor performance in his last fight against Catterall. I can feel that he is belittling Teofimo Lopez's ability to win as he is predicting the big possibility of him taking out Teofimo in the early rounds.
Most likely his confident is based on the fact that he has face tougher opponents in the 140 lbs, like Ramirez, Prograis and even Catterall himself. And Teo has no business in 140 lbs. And base on Teo's fight, I don't think he has carry his power to this new division, just saying.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 07, 2023, 03:12:02 AM
Yes, I'm with the majority here, yes there are a lot of trusted casino's, those platform that we have played for years already and has a lot of competitions and even whales who join.

But there's no way for us to verify has transparent they are as far as giving those bonuses or rewards to it's players. Only they have the numbers and no one can verify if they really gave that huge amount of money to the winners or not. And with that, the only thing we can do is to accept what they said base on face value alone.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 07, 2023, 02:31:50 AM
I just caught the tail end of the game between the Spurs vs Portland. San Antonio has a huge 13-0 round late in the game and take the lead from the Trailblazers. And they just hold on that lead, 4 players with 20 plus or more for the Spurs and then Tre Jones, continuing his good stats, with 18 points and 10 assists.

Heat winning against the Sixers, but then again, as I check the minutes of Joel Embiid, he just played 30 minutes and Harden 28 minutes, so maybe they just decided to just let this game be taken away from them by the Miami Heat and not risk of injuries from both of their star players.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: April 06, 2023, 05:45:01 AM
True, we don't want to preempt things again, and I wouldn't be excited yet, until we really make the official announcement about this fight as we have seen what happen on the first fight, or supposedly negotiations that fell because Crawford is saying that it's all the fault of Al Haymon.

On the other hand, we haven't heard any updates on the Thurman vs Spence fight, and maybe this is one reason though.

They want to make it quiet and not to leaked anything on the media just yet. So crossing my fingers here that they are going to make this fight because we have been waiting for this.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: April 06, 2023, 05:00:15 AM
Yeah right, better to wait for whatever it's awaits him after winning the fight, let Maloney push his way to challenge or ask for the fight as long as Donaire will get decent earnings then so be it.

Taking care of his finances while there's still plenty of time for him is the best decision for the Donaire,
win the fight and take a good amount of offer next.
Yeah but most of us will be a lot happier if he will going to win this fight. We all know donaire from his wins to his losses, though sometimes I am thinking that maybe he should rest, but then if he still can fight other boxers and his team is still able to improve his stats before then no problem at all. I just say that he is already a winner to us, a champion whether he wins or he lose Donaire is Donaire.

Just the same with all those legends who continue to bring pride even they are no longer on their primes but still manage to win a fight and become a champ it's really a good way of showing love to the sports.

On Donaire's end, it's another edge if he will take the belt I mean if he become a champion again then
expect to have another money fight before he will retire his gloves right?

I don't think Donaire will retire as long as he can still make money. As long as he remains a champion, he will see it as an opportunity to earn more before retiring. Most boxers retire when they can no longer win and sell their fights, but Donaire's journey may be different since he is still considered a dominant fighter despite his age.
I might have to agree but there is a thin line between making money and risking your health. Floyd for example has this philosophy of "health comes first, and truly blessed to be one of the legend in boxing who didn't get hurt in his career because of his good defense.

On the other hand, Donaire has his fair share of losses and just like in his last fight with Inoue, he was knockout cold.

So him and his wife should make the right decision as to continue or not as it might take a toll on him later in life, just saying. No amount of money can pay if your body and mind will be affected by boxing when Donaire age.
1294  Economy / Gambling / Re: Recommend your preffered slot games or game provider on: April 06, 2023, 04:26:10 AM
Recently, I fell in love with Wanted Dead or A Wild by Hacksaw gaming. I mean it's very volatile but it seems that I'm lucky hitting bonus with good wins, 2x in a row already. So I might as well go with this game and continue my winning streak.

My former favorite is Anubis by the same gaming provider. And for sure many of us here loves what Hacksaw is developing and giving us the user experience. Of course, there are a lot of gaming providers with different themes and I might as well try them also. But for now, or at least if I'm going to continue winning, then I will stick to Wanted Dead or A Wild.

I guess in the beginning when DEFI has hype, everyone wants to get on board on it and try to make money. But it seems it has been the target of most criminals as well, whether state sponsored or just individuals or groups who want to make money by exploiting it.

The thing though is that it's not big of a hack and Allbridge says that they are going to compensate those who lost their money in this hacked.

And for some strange reasons, the hackers are returning 1500 BNB, and remaining will be tag as white bounty compensation to the hackers.

You can follow them on their official twitter account, https://twitter.com/Allbridge_io
1296  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for April on: April 06, 2023, 03:33:33 AM
Next stop 30k - 32k range.  That's double the price of where it was during the lows of November.  Leeez gooo!

Lol, loving the poll this time. No option for bearish  Grin

I think you're expectations are quite accurate. Even some bears who are expecting sub $15K after anticipating a move to $30 to $23K before further downside, which says a lot.

Personally I "only" voted bullish, as opposed to super/uber bullish, as notably this year so far we have seen a substantial gain in Jan, followed by consolidation in Feb, followed by a another considerable gain in Mar. So while I think it's likely to re-test $30K level that was previous support, I also expect it is likely to act as some form of resistance (at least initially) leading to more of a consolidation style month similar to February.

Rofl yeah, nope, no bearish options this time.  Cheesy

And asking for a sub 15k move now is just a pipe dream at this point in the game.  Something reeeaally bad has to happen somewhere to spook the whole market out in a yuuuge way.  Like how the pandemic happened and brought everything down.  I'm not discounting anything but with the way things are, everything is looking good.  So far...  
Yeah, probably we have seen the the lowest low for this bear market at $15,500 and the new lows perhaps is $20k++.

But what are the chance though that we might have a black swan event this year? hmm...

Although at the start of the week this month there is no sudden movement of the price, we are still stuck in the $28k'ish and we might be in the sideway pattern. Let's just hope that this month might be another positive growth, if not, no major retracement again. And who knows maybe we can see that $30k price that everyone is looking for.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 06, 2023, 03:12:42 AM
This Lakers versus Clippers game is off to a pretty crazy start. The Lakers are down 15 to 3 and have looked terrible out there. Westbrook hit an open 3… Not off to the best start. Most of the Lakers shots have been blocked and AD is already crying for fouls. This could be a long game. Hopefully this is the worst of it for the Lake Show.
I still believe that the Lakers will win this game, and I see this as an opportunity to place a live bet on them. The LA ML odds are currently profitable, assuming they win. However, it's still early, and many things could happen in the game. One thing is for sure, though - it's going to be a fun game.

Currently they are down in the first half, 71-52. Kahwi and Westbrook are leading the way for the Clippers.

But another 24 minutes for us to see if the Lakers can turn this game around. This is a must win for both, but more on the Lakers side to really carry themselves in the playoff and not wait for the outcome of other games to decide their faith.

Lebron started slow, and it was Austin Reaves again and D'Lo for the Lakers.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: April 05, 2023, 08:54:04 PM

I don't see logic in your analysis that since both Tank and Garcia have similar powerful punches, it is impossible for the fight to finish early. On the contrary, it is that exact reason why the fight will probably finish early.

Perhaps the fight won't end early since both boxers are likely to respect each other and not engage in an all-out war from the beginning. Despite their claims of being able to knock each other down easily, both boxers are capable of delivering powerful punches. However, I believe that once they are in the ring, they will feel the strength of their opponent and become more cautious, avoiding a solid punch that could potentially end the fight.

In my opinion, the fight could still end early if it finishes within the first six rounds.
Tank said that he respect Ryan's power, so he might not engage early and be cautious, just like in his fight against Romero. Rolly has some power and Tank knows that, that's why he try to have distance and just let Rolly come in to him until that one mistake and then boom, Rolly got knock out.

So both will be cautious here for sure, it's not going to be like they are going toe to toe. This two are smart to do that early on, maybe a couple of rounds of feeling each other, getting the distance and touching each other. That's how I see this fight and maybe in the latter rounds they will go at each other and look for a knock out win.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best time to gamble on: April 05, 2023, 08:42:37 PM


Good day, everyone I want to share a little idea about gambling, and the idea is about WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GAMBLE? On my schedule I mostly gamble in the afternoon 🔅 but letter I was with my friends and we were discussing the best time for gambling so many people says is evening then also checked google and it was the same answer then I also want to share the view with you guys
https://www.askgamblers.com/gambling-news/blog/best-time-to-play-slots/
So now the evening is the best time to gamble because of your daily activities
I personally don't have any time schedule on my gambling sessions, I can play it any time on the day but usually my mind is telling me to just play during evening where it is really quite and no one is disturbing me. I don't really track or taken an interest in putting a strict time schedule on playing gambling. I also think that time isn't important in doing gambling especially if the games you are playing is not real people. As long as I'm in a light mood or I doesn't have anything to do, That's the time that I like doing some gambling.
Yeah, with what we got right now, smart phones and internet connection anywhere, we can gamble as much as we want. I will share a personal experience wherein me and some friends where just chilling in some coffee shops and I decided to just play some slots of my phone. Fortunately for him I was able to double my capital in short amount of time. My point is that if you are lucky, then there's not best time to play. I might agree that some plays at night to relax before they go to bed. But if I feel like playing, I will do it anytime.
1300  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Surprise back!!!! on: April 04, 2023, 11:16:44 AM
Obviously, he still has some influence on Doge for this matter, but the thing is how long can he influence the price?

Will it go down again after the hype has gone? We've seen this a lot from the past so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. Everyone is jumping on board, but the one that is going to make money here is the one who is the first one to ride and then exit when the price is still up. And the one that will suffer the most is those who think that this price action is real and that the price will go on parabolic rise again because of Elon, just saying. So just be careful as this looks like artificial to me pump to me.
