A bunch of games on today including a few mismatches that might be worth tossing into a parlay. First you have the 76ers playing the Pistons, who are struggling bad. Then you have the Pelicans playing the Wizards, also struggling bad… Finally you have the Lakers playing the Spurs. Very likely the Pistons, Spurs, & Wizards will all lose.

Next Chartbuddy >42K
It does look like the worst is over and the market is moving back up again. I don’t know if chart buddy is ready to be back at $42K but it’s certainly getting close. Maybe we haven’t seen the yearly high just yet. I know I feel better when we’re going up instead of down so maybe we have a little more steam left in this Santa Claus rally. |

-10 Boston (They are 10-0 at home, 7-3 ATS, while Cavaliers are on a back to back game. All the advantage is on the Boston)
-7.5 Denver (Both teams are on a back to back game, so let's go back to 1. Since Denver is the better team, I'm choosing them)
LAL vs DAL and GSW vs SUNS.. These games could be a close ones, it's hard to choose that way, so I'll pass.
Just a break even day, won on the Denver bet but was short on the Boston bet. Currently watching the game now, enjoy the Warriors vs Phoenix game, and I think the Warriors will take the win. It's the undermanned Phoenix, Lakers should be able to take advantage on it. Let's just hope this game are not gonna go to OT as Warriors seemed to have trouble in OT games ( speaking of 2 L from OKC) It was a great ending but the Suns were able to hold on to beat the Warriors. Booker definitely hit the over with a 32 point night and he held on to the game down the stretch as Durant looked on from the bench. Curry did get a chance to tie it at the end with a quick shot off the inbounds but he wasn’t able to pull off a miracle. |

The Lakers seemed to be having a bit of hangover after winning the championship in the in season tournament.
They are down 10 points now against a Irving-Less Dallas Mavericks.
I hope they will comeback in the 2nd half and win this game.
BTW, I've taken them live with an odds of 3.06. Good luck to me!
They came back and even take the lead, but the Mavericks also have a big 4th quarter and was able to outrun the Lakers. It was just a 2 point game( final result), if you had taken the handicap instead, you'll likely have the win. Anyway, gambling it is, we sometimes go for bigger reward but big reward does not win most of the time. I thought LeBron and AD both had good games. Looking at the box scores you have to really dig to see how the Lakers lost this one. In the end I think it boiled down to turnovers. The Lakers had 15 while the Mavericks only had 10. Give the Lakers and extra 5 possessions and I think this game turns out a little bit differently. |

Another way to “get free Bitcoin” is with rewards programs. For example, Fold and Coinbase are 2 companies that will give you BTC just for suing their credit cards. I’m sure spending on credit cards is nothing new to most of the people reading this. Make sure you’ve looked into what reward programs are available for stacking sats with your spending.

A couple days out from this fight and I’ve seen almost no promotion for it. Surely this can’t be good for Jake’s career unless we see another spectacular knockout. Only reason I remembered this fight was even happening was that Jake Paul is on social media today saying he’s a bigger name in fighting than Conor McGregor, which is delusional.

I’ve been gambling with sports for as long as I can remember. From simple schoolyard bets to casinos, I’ve done it all. I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad experience either. Sure, nobody likes to lose especially when there’s money involved, but it was always entertaining. I never had a refuse to pay situation or anything to hurt a friendship, so I’d say my experiences have always been positive.

I think we’re quickly transitioning from Bitcoin being the Wild West to it being a recognized and legitimate currency. This no doubt will cause others to follow suit in relaxing some of their policies towards cryptocurrencies as they become legitimate products to be advertised instead of fly by night scams to enrich their founders.

Addiction is in the end just a word. Whether someone is addicted to gambling or they enjoy playing a game with their time is a fine line. I think as long as someone is enjoying themselves and the activity isn’t destructive to the rest of their life it typically isn’t referred to as an addiction, but not everybody has a life that can be so easily sabotaged so who is to say…

 Bottom? Not downsizing that bottom… though I always hope bottom is in… Moonboy # 1Looks more like my view when we hit the top of you ask me.  More seriously though, it does appear that this was a needed correction and so far the market has been building on that bottom instead of retesting it, so that’s a positive sign. With any luck we don’t see a lower low from here and can get back to pushing towards $50K. |

I just read an article highlighting the growth of Coinbase’s app as a metric to gauge the crypto market. While seeing that more people are buying crypto isn’t a bad thing, I think we’re still a ways away from everyone having fomo and smash buying their way to a Bitcoin god candle. Seeing this much interest at this point in the cycle is positive though.

Some good matchups today and they’re being televised on TNT. First you have the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks which is almost certain to be worth the watch as LeBron James and Luka Doncic facing off never disappoints. Then you have the Suns and Warriors which have their own set of superstars facing off.

WHAT IS THIS?!
A DIP FOR ANTS???!!
At 10% and still going I’d call it a legitimate correction on its way to possibly being a major correction. Given the timing of it, I would say that this has perhaps been caused by the mtgox email that went out around the time of the dip. It appears that things are in place to begin distributing the gox coins and I think people are getting ahead of it. However the gox distribution will manipulate the price, Bitcoin's future is more or less mainly dependent on 1) time and 2) fundamentals. I may quote: "Anything else is just noise". EDIT: Seems like the Email is noise as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgoxinsolvency/comments/18fngkx/new_email_mtgoxnotice_concerning_launch_of/EDIT2: In a separate document sent to creditors today, Kobayashi said that on Nov. 17, the rehabilitation trustee received the redemption of 7 billion yen ($46.9 million) from the trust assets to fund the repayment. The remaining amount of the trust assets following such redemption was 8.8 billion yen, according to the notice.
Repayments in cash? But not for all of the creditors, right? I think i remember some survey about how creditors want their refunds, either $BTC or $USD. So, does that mean that the trustee/trust already sold almost half of the gox coins? And the rest is going to creditor wallets "soon, too"? I never have been so much into that mtGox refunding story, so please forgive if i sound clueless I didn’t request a fiat payout so I can’t really comment on the progress of that. All I know is that my understanding of the gox email is that it is likely I will receive payment before another email, so I wouldn’t say it’s nothing. It could be the last gox email. The timing is mostly what makes me believe it had an effect on the market. |

Conor McGregor seems to be making some public appearances these days. He looks a lot smaller now to me then just a few months ago when he was filming for his movie role. He’s taking some heat on social media for facing off with Peter Yan but it seemed harmless enough. Also a good story with the kid from years ago winning his first fight at the event.

A household where both husband and wife are gambling addicts sounds like a good beginning to a Hollywood movie. I can only imagine the kind of issues they would have. I’m not sure what the proper way for one of them to quit would be. Seems like it would be better if they both quit and were there for each other as a support system.

The great question about this win is this; do we think Lakers are good enough to try for the finals for real? Or did nobody cared about the title here?
The fact that the Lakers are the in-season tournament champions means nothing in that regard. I mean, there's a lot of competition in the regular season, and now there are teams that have a better chance to be champions than the Lakers. Nevertheless, I don't rule out that the Lakers can go far in the playoffs if Davis and LeBron are healthy. I’m a little surprised the Lakers won the tournament but they had a few factors going for them. First being that it was obvious LeBron wanted this more than anyone else and it showed with him getting the MVP. Secondly, they didn’t face any of the elite teams in the NBA. This is a good sign for them, but a playoff run will be much much harder. |

I’m not sure if I would say that loneliness is a cause of gambling addiction itself, but more that being bored or having free time can cause someone to begin looking for ways to keep themselves entertained. I imagine lonely people probably have a lot of free time, which is why they are lonely. I could see this causing them to use entertainment more frequently than others, possibly opening them up more to addiction.

Congrats to the Lakers for winning the in season tournament (down to the final 2 minutes). LeBron seemed like he wasn’t going to let this honor slip away from him as it was his chance to do something Jordan never did. You have to give the credit for this one to Anthony Davis though who had a monster game. Looks like he’s going to end up with around 40 points and 20 rebounds.
