Game 2 for the Knicks game and probably the long awaited Lakers and golden state series.

Taking the Knicks-6.5. Thinking playoff Jimmy's ankle is gonna afford the Knicks a rebound game here.  Gonna be tough for Miami in msg with a not 100% Jimmy.

And gimme the golden state Warriors at home here.  Think this is gonna be a long series with home teams mainly winning.steph goes big tonight.

Enjoy the games!
1502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: April 30, 2023, 08:06:29 PM
I've seen a couple or so newbie accounts asking for a 'criteria' on how to choose an altcoin that would have the greatest potential to be a 1000x coin.

I'm gonna throw around some ideas but as all of you already know, this is in no way financial advice.  This is just all for the lulz and it would be cool if you guys throw your own ideas in the mix too...  So here goes.

Criteria to find the next 1000x coin:

It must not be listed in any of the major exchanges.  This is not a hard rule but I noticed that 1000x coins are mostly unknown.

It must have a dog logo.  What can I say, memecoins seem to go up by a lot more than the rest of the market.

Be mindful of market cap.  The lower, the better.  If a coin's market cap is 100m, 1000x would be 100b.  Lol.  It would take a lot of money to pump it that high.  But if the market cap is just 1 million, 1000x would be 1 billion.  It's much more possible it could happen imho.

That's it for now.

Edit:  Great criteria here...




I would like to add that it needs to be new token/coin that people haven't yet tweeted about, at least not too much. Preferably with no advertising bounties. Old projects under 10M marketcap have either died or something bad has happened behind the scene. Something that no one is interested in them, so unless you know some inside news about those, you are betting on a dead horse.

Also no price talk on the channel gives a professional touch that makes me think it's already more mature and professional then 90% projects out there.

Do you realize how few amd far between the coins that eventually 1000x themselves.  Most coins and tokens are just scams and depend on this notion that you can turn $100 into a million dollars fairly easily.  I know there are coins that can and have done 1000x but anyone here arguing how that's possible and even worse recommending coins that they think will is just garbage.  More people will just end up losing money to these scams with this idea in their head that they will just get rich.
1503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: April 30, 2023, 07:53:16 PM
as we know, many people suggest investing in bitcoin because the risk is not too high.
but if we look at the market there are lots of people buying altcoins, and to be honest I also like to buy altcoins but there aren't many of them, and it's still my biggest investment in bitcoin. and to be honest even though investing in altcoins is risky but I always want to buy and the reason is because of the high pumping..
and I want to ask everyone what is your  for buying altcoins, is the reason the same as mine?

Greed, simple.  People feel like they missed out on bitcoin and want to hit the next bitcoin.  People also think bitcoin is expensive and can't afford one so they like alts because they are "cheaper" and can buy a ton.  It's a physiological play as well.  Either way greed is involved and they want to catch the next run with a coin that can double, triple, etc their money.

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Knicks and 2.60 for the Heat, Right now Quentin Grimes and Julius Randle are doubtful if they can play for the Knicks and Julius Randle is out for the season, while Tyler Herro, can not play for the Heat, Bam Adebayo is doubtful and Victor Oladipo is now out for this season, for this game I think I can see that the Knicks is the favorite to win but Jimmy Butler is a different monster while pressured, for this game the truth is I really don't know who to choose, that is why I have gone to the best option going with the favorite, the New York Knicks,
Knicks is good and all but I believe that Heat will win again if Jimmy Butler ends up playing as well as he has so far. This is why I believe that we could see anything happen. Overall, Knicks is a better team for sure, I mean when you look at 5 positions, I would give 4 of them to Knicks, aside from Jimmy Butler who has played differently during this playoff period. After all it is going to be a tough one without a doubt.

The early games are a bit different as well, it is not the same thing at all, the regular times for them is a lot better for them. All in all I think the best thing to do for today is to stay away, we can see the games of each series and then we can make a decision based on that, doesn't make sense to take risks and put the first games as bets, just lets see how it will be.

Think the rest of the series leans in on can julius randle play effectively with his ankle issue and now that Jimmy rolled his ankle.  Can he play as effective.  If both can't I give the advantage to the Knicks.  Jimmy is that team.  Either way it's gonna be a good series.

As far as today's game I got the Champs and the moneyline.  I can't bet against steph even though the odds are stacked against them.

A politician in the Philippines claimed to have had a hand in the development of the very controversial e-sabong platform he operated e-sabong so he can make a lot of money so he can use for the campaign, and his family to win local elections because the election in the Philippines is very costly many candidates are buying votes to secure their win, there were reports that he murdered their family's opponent because of e-sabong.
Do you think that government should have a rule or a law for election candidates not to have a franchise in any form of gambling, in fact, there are a lot of politicians who are operators of illegal small-town lotteries this is to accumulate funds they can use for election campaigns.

Congressman confirms past stint with e-sabong when it was not yet banned by gov’t

I'm unsure of the political situation in the Philippines but in general I wouldn't trust any governmental involvement in the gambling system.  They know how to use every legal loophole to get the advantage.  As it stands the house has the odds if ypu add political power over those odds only increase.  I'd steer clear of that platform.

Knicks dominating the paint so far.  3-16 from 3 ain't gonna cut it though.  They need to just hit some more 3s and keep defending the 3.  This is going to be a great series.  Expecting this one to go 6 or the full 7.  Need Randle back as well.

A Shanghai man was sentenced to prison for kidnapping his own granddaughter so he could maintain his gambling addiction with the ransom money.

The kidnapping — orchestrated by a 65-year-old man identified only by his surname, Yuan — was first reported by the Shanghai Law and Rule Journal. The legal news outlet didn't specify when the incident occurred but wrote on April 18 that Yuan had just started serving his prison sentence.

Yuan kicked off his plan by picking up his four-year-old granddaughter from her kindergarten and taking her out to eat and shop without her mother's knowledge, the Journal reported.

This one is all over the internet now.

Dillon Brooks Insults LeBron James While Reacting To Their Mid-Game Confrontation: "I Don't Respect No One Until They Come In And Give Me 40"

I guess Brooks can now respect LeBron, since the Lakers beat them by 40 points. The Lakers are so scary in these playoffs; they have proven to everyone that they are still here. Although they are the underdogs, beating Memphis in 6 is not as easy as we think, but the Lakers dominated the series.

Lastly, I would like to say that Memphis DYNASTY IS OVER!

I'd say it's just getting started.  Ja and jarren Jackson are only 23 and Desmond bane is only 24.  These kids are young.  This team is just getting started.  They need more experience and adams getting hurt, hurt them.  How do you break up a team where it's star core is all under 25 years old lol?

I'm pretty sure that the Grizzlies are tired of Dillon Brooks and his attitude.  The LeBron poking the bear comment was probably the last straw and I think Brooks knows it.  That's why he was so defeated in the series after that.  I think he's a bad influence on Ja Morant, and they need to start surrounding that kid with people who are going to make sure he doesn't get shot in a strip club parking lot pretending to be a gangster some random night.  The icing on the cake is that LeBron didn't even stick around after the game to shake hands.  He sent a message to the league.  Put some respect on his name.

Agreed.  I think ja got a wake up call with his off the court dealings.  No way Memphis brings back Brooks.  He is an Ufa this year.  Going to be interesting to see who picks him up.  If his mouth didn't get in the way he would be a great role player on a championship team.  But I agree his toxicity is overwhelming.  He was banking on them destroying the Lakers and have it come off as confidence when it now just looks like he is an ass.

Memecoins will be a thing of the past.  Altcoin niches don't usually get 2 bull runs.  It was a product of the pandemic.  Doge will have its place but eventually slide back to where it has been for years and the rest of the memecoins will be left for the graveyard.  Don't get caught holding the bag.

In the Suns vs Nuggets series, the sportsbook odds heavily favor the Phoenix Suns, but I'm not going to fall for that because I believe that the Nuggets are built to be successful in these playoffs, and they can at least reach the WCF.

The Phoenix Suns beat the Clippers in 5, but that was when PG and Leonard were out. They beat an undermanned team, but this Nuggets team is healthy, and they have the home court advantage. So, I think being an underdog presents a huge opportunity for the bettors.

The Suns have gotten better because of KD, but honestly, I believe their starters will be worn out in this series and since Durant is already an injury prone player, so I don't trust them.

Yeah Denver is getting oddly disrespected a little.  They still have home court advantage.  I think Suns are the trendy pick once they landed Durant.  I'm betting on Denver to start the series.  It's going to be a tough cover for the Suns trying to cover jokic.  I like the over in this as well.  Think it won't be much of a defensive battle.  Beat offense wins this series.

Some months a go, I was thinking altcoins may favour me since bitcoin is still unpredictable. I decided to invest my last cash at hand on luno, Eth, buying babe doggy, peg token and tron. I don't really understand how this things works when I bought it was all gloomy without bitcoin but in less than a week my money dried up.

What future do we really hope for altcoins without bitcoin?

Ypu lost your money because you put your money into horse garbage.  I find it crazy people pass up bitcoin because they think the money has already been made and then throw theor money into things called baby doge lol.  I mean you might as well flush it down the toilet so you don't have to watch it slowly go away.  Alts will be fine but you have to find good projects.
1513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 28, 2023, 09:06:07 PM
Only the Kings-Warriors and Lakers-Grizz games left as far as I am aware. That is going to be a tough one, most people think Warriors and Lakers will win, but lets remember that the yare the lower seed in these matchups, even though they "may" look like favorites, we had a whole season that proved that they are not. Lakers made some trades so they might be better, and they made a good player out of Reaves that helps decently as well, but Warriors didn't had any changes, they are the same. I think if one of them fails to win, that wouldn't be such a shock, it might actually happen. I know that it is taking a while but it is definitely a good job if we could see them both win it as well, that will be a great success, both lower seeds beating higher seeds at the same time.

I think Memphis runs the table.  If they win in LA it's a wrap.  I think they will lean on theor guard play and because they play well in the paint they have a better shot than a team that relays on 3s all game.  I grabbed the line for them to win this series when they were down 3-1.  If they can snag this one I'm gonna lean hard into that game.
1514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: OpenSea investor cuts Platform’s Valuation By 75% on: April 28, 2023, 08:30:25 PM
Anyone heard this news? What's your take on this? It's this the beginning of the downfall of the NFT market or can we say that it will still survived till the next bull run?

Quote
OpenSea, one of the largest NFT marketplaces, has been hit particularly hard, with its valuation now facing a significant cut by one of its most prominent investors, Tiger Global. According to a recent report by The Information, Tiger Global, a $13 billion tech-focused venture fund, recently disclosed that its equity in OpenSea has dropped from $126.8 million to $30.2 million, representing a 76% drawdown. The firm became one of the largest investors in OpenSea when the NFT platform raised $300 million during a Series C round earlier last year.

https://zycrypto.com/key-opensea-investor-cuts-platforms-valuation-by-75-as-global-nft-sales-plummet/

For me though, I'm not surprised, we are still the bear market, although it seems that majority of the coins are bouncing back, I still one big reason for the sudden downfall of the NFT market is the obvious bearish trend.

And that's how the market works as we all know it, sooner or later the hype will die down a bit, like the P2E model. So we will see if NFT can live or continue to exists till the next bull run. It will be the ultimate test for this market, in my opinion.

I expect the value to drop even more.  I don't see the bubble of nfts being able to survive.  Crypto is one thing but things got a bit out of control in terms with pricing.  I think there's a future for nfts and opensea is a great platform for them but it might have been one of them bubbles that will take awhile to take hold.

Judging the Celtics performance against the Hawks, they weren't that impressive to me and because of that, I think that a healthy Sixers can eliminate them.

The 76ers will be the underdog in their matchup, and that's a good point of view because the 76ers' defense was really impressive in the first round. It's the offensive team versus the defensive team, and normally, the defensive team will win (except for the Warriors), so let's see.

According to the series betting odds, the Celtics are heavy favorites to win the series:

Celtics 1.32
76ers 3.45

The series handicap is -1.5 for the Celtics.

That's pretty good value on the sixers.  Not really getting anything by betting the Celtics too much.

In the Knicks series I like the Knicks here.  Not just because I'm a fan but because they are tight odds and with home court I just think there is value there.

Playoffs heating up looking at the gs and sac game and can't figure which way I'm gonna lean.  Thinking golden state but 7.5 might be too much.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 28, 2023, 07:35:45 PM
Boston finally managed to finish this round, but we can say that they played two more games. Had they been more concentrated, they could have swept Atlanta. The extension of the series to the 6th match only caused them to play another tiring match. The Sixers, who will now be their opponent, have been resting for a long time. This series is going to be very competitive.
As long as Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum play well like this, Boston will be one of the strongest contenders. When they keep their turnover low and their three-point percentage high, they are very unlikely to lose.

It's definitely going to be an interesting series.  I can't make heads or tails which way it will go.  2 completely different teams.  I see cracks in the Celtics and am leaning towards the sixers here.  My gut really wants Celtics just in case the Knicks sneak past Miami.  I'd love to see another Celtics knicks series and knicks can never stop embid.  He gives them fits.

I'm going completely against the grain tonight.  Taking all the toad dogs.

Atlanta +13 lol.  Why not.

Clippers -12.5. Russ masterclass incoming lol.

Timberwolves ML.  Seriously...

This might completely blow up in my face but have we ever had a 3 game playoff night with all the games being 20 point blowouts?  Against the wall someone has to show up right?  Right?.  Will probably regret this but hey how maybe not Smiley

Enjoy the games people!

Good luck, man! You already have one win with Atlanta +13. You should have gone with the moneyline.

Regarding the Wolves, they have a decent chance since they are currently leading the game. It looks like the Nuggets are struggling to close this game, but let's see; the game is not over yet.

As for the Clippers -12.5, that's too ambitious. What are the betting odds for that one?

It was actually plus +12.5 spread last night.

Tonight got my picks in.

Laying hard on the Knicks +5.5
Taking the heat +12.  Think it's a trap bet but gotta ride the hot ticket.
Laying hard on Memphis -4.  Home cooking.
And taking golden state ML.  Was tough to bet on them but fox with a fractured figer on his shooting hand is going to be tough to overcome.

Enjoy the Knicks.  Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! 😀

4 for 4 I only wish I took the heat money line dam HIMmy Butler is playoff good.  The way that series was played I think I'd rather see the Bucks against my knicks but here we go!  Hitting the under on every one of these games hard.  This is going to be a drag out 80s/90s type of basketball games in this series.  Hope it goes the distance. 

Yahoo nice hit on your parlay.
1518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 27, 2023, 04:41:48 PM
This will be a great series. The Heat might still be the underdog, but only slightly. I'm rooting for them to win because they beat the number one team, so there's no reason they can't beat the NYK.

I'm waiting for the betting odds to come out. My initial guess is that they will be very attractive for the Heat. Hopefully, that will come true.

Too bad we see these two current great teams in the East matching up against each other in the second rounds of the playoffs, I really prefer to see them at the Eastern Conference finals because they are really doing amazing things with their play knocking out the higher ranks teams, I think you rarely see these scenarios in the playoffs but as we can see right now, there is always a chance for the number 8th seed and it happens right in front of our eyes. let's just hope no one will get injured for this is a great match-up here and I think the Heat is more likely the favorite team to win this series.

Knicks are favored in the series.  Home court advantage but it's pretty close.  For any old heads this is an old rivalry from the late 90s.  They met in the 97, 98, and 99 series with all of the series going down to the final game.  And who can forget van gundy throwing himself on Alonzos leg during the brawl.  This is gonna be a tough nosed hard fought series.  I expect this one to go the length.  Go knicks!

Looking like the Boston Celtics are going to be sending the Atlanta Hawks fishing tonight. They’re up by more than 10 in the third now and Atlanta seems to be accepting their fate. First game of elimination night looks like we may have our first elimination. Next up will be the Nuggets trying to put away the Timberwolves for the season.

I was expecting the same thing because out of the 3 games that happened earlier, I got the Boston Celtics on my sure list to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks and proceed into the 2nd round where they will wait and face the winner of Bucks vs Miami up next. But what happened was really unexpected, Tatum didn't contribute that much compared to his usual digits every night but at least Brown took the helm but even that didn't stopped the Hawks from winning the game.

Ice Trae did it again, I know it's not yet a guarantee but by the looks of it, including the situation of Milwaukee Bucks, we might be seeing the underdogs who played in the recent play-in tournament confronting each other in the East semis.

If the Celtics win they will be playing Philly.  As a knick fan I cringe at seeing Trae do this but it's like a car wreck and can't look away.  Dude is so fun to watch with the game on the line.  You know he is shooting it and you can't stop him.  I can't believe Boston didn't double him right at half court.  I'd give an open shot to anyone on the team than Trae guarded.  Pressure is gonna build on Boston.
