Yeah, but it's just a question on how he will fit in a new team. With Warriors, he was given time and maybe a good development program. That's why he blossom and became part of the integral team. So it's a win-win for him if the Warriors have no choice but to let him go. And as I have said, that salary offer for him will be good that he might not have a second thoughts of him leaving the team that gave him his first ring and hopefully he can developed more somewhere else.

Money wise, and in my own opinion he can stand up even he will play in any team inside NBA,

With the way GSW developed him, and now that he's already comfortable with the game he has, he was once a ROY and he
can be a good addition to any team that he will play outside the Warriors.

he can work it out and continue to enhance his skills. Aside from serious injury, there's nothing that can stop him from making his
way creating his own resume and be one of the elite stars in this league.

Every investor in Bitcoin understands the risk involved, except those are newbies or not getting the required information. There are predictions that it would still go down but for me I don't think so. Bitcoin has been holding up strong these few days, in fact it appreciated yesterday and today. Hence it is possible that we are at the end of this bearish session. Like we all know, it is a good time to start investing hoping that in few months or a year the price would increase and investors would be happy again. For now what is need is courage and patience.   

yes, those who take their time looking for the reason how they can take advantage are well aware about

this investment, they are here to work with the market and aim to earn decent, except with those newcomers who have
been dragged without deeper understanding of how the market works, they can quickly lose their money by following
other speculations and prediction, but if they will do their own research, the chance is always good to learn more and
a possibility that they can earn too.

Usually, that's what we see. When a player like someone from the bench became popular and showed how great he is. There will be a raise once the contract ends.
And for sure that renewal is going to be there but it also depends on the other teams offer if it's higher than the salary. But I hope that most of them retain and will do the same as what Curry have done for his career of just staying in the Warriors.

For sure, he will get what he deserved once his contract ends. He will be offered more because he showed a lot of promised early without Klay as being as the other half of the Splash Brothers. But when Klay comes back, he embraces himself as the 3rd man and then coming off the bench.

Maybe next year he will get the 6th man award? coming off the bench and giving the Warriors 20+ a night. That will be huge, similar to Hero, this season 6th man.
Well, let's just see how this man will progress as he's one of the promising teammates there. And we just love to see all of them stay and I think that the Warriors management is fond of just allowing their players to stay and if someone wants to go away, they'll just allow it.
So, they're all in favor of anyone who has a request to go out and in as long as it will help them grow and as well as the team to grow as well.

We've seen him progressed already, from a first five player when Thompson is out to a 6th man coming from the bench. And he has a good series or playoffs, becoming the 4th scoring options.

So if his contract is up, then maybe he will get a bump from his salary because of how the give for the Warriors this season. It's hard though as the Warriors has spend too much money already for this big 3. He will be a good catch for every team, might be like the situation of Caruso with the Lakers before. But when he get out he was being offered huge salary.

Warriors organization is open if players will leave them to earn a huge amount of money,

they will adjust and continue to play in the same system, if Wiggins will choose to go, which he really deserves to earn
more after that performance this season, Warriors will let him and wish him well. Remember that in this league and
with the type of mindset players and agents have, they will after for the money more than after the ring.

This person shouldn't have done this, because he himself knew well it is not his money. He hasn't won any jackpot or something like that. All are people's money, we don't know how many families are suffering just because they hadn't received the funds on time. Anyhow this has happened, now it is time for the banking authority to just make way for all the beneficiaries to receive the funds.

Logically speaking, it isn't the bank who should take liable here, they just process the request.

Both the sender and the receiver are the one who should shoulder the liabilities in this kind of situation, especially the receiver
who gambled the money.

He already taking care of his mistake and I guess it should be a good lesson for him and for the rest of the people who learned
about this case, they should be more responsible for responding and acting when the situation happens to them.

With the crypto market down, the number of scam projects has suddenly increased a lot. At this time, investing in a new project is definitely risky. So if you want to invest in a new project, then you must do proper research about that project. Because we all like safe investment.
that's the problem, that not everyone in the crypto currency world can analyze a good project or not,
and they are completely blind about it, my suggestion is that we can race against coinmarketcap or coinecko,
look for altcoins that are in rank 1 to 500, because it can be said that the project has good fundamentals

Much better if after looking is to do your own deeper research about the project,

Make your own projections and observe if how the project will progress, whatever the market is bringing
the developers should focus on the update and development,

A kind of project that is really competitive and can stand thru the test of time, if you are not willing to gamble
with your luck, fundamentals and usages should be your basis.

ETH and BNB are 2 significant drops of coins since a week, even the current ETH price is around $ 980, and BNB is around $ 198, this is a good opportunity to buy these 2 coins, I'm sure if we buy ETH and BNB then hold a month then we can Profit at least 15%, the main requirement of course if the market can rise again, but if a month is still a loss then the hold for the long term.
Yes, we really have to take advantage of this moment to buy,
let alone buying Ethereum and BNB I don't think we need to hesitate and even though in a month the market hasn't gone up again, there's no need to worry about holding it in the long term

If you are looking for your long-term investment, there's no question about buying and holding these two

assets, both projects are good for retirement using your spare money. If you are more into saving for your future and you believe
and trust that crypto will continue to surprise you. It's always best to invest your money with projects that already have proven
usages, both coins are long been tested moving alongside with Bitcoin.

OK, so the 2021-2022 season (this thread really needs a subject update, it's 2 years behind now) is in the books.  My question is, where are people going now to get their fix of basketball?  Are we all just waiting for summer league or the latest trade news?  I was thinking maybe I need to get more involved into international basketball, as I prefer that to college.  Anyone have any tips for me to help point me in the right direction?  Would love to get a year round basketball routine going so I'm not forced to watch baseball or football to get my athletic fix.  

We have our local league and fortunately it is being covered by a sport bookies that I know of.

And then we have the WNBA, not followed it though like NBA, but I just started to bet on games and try to familiarized myself with the team. There are a lot of international basketball that it is really hard to give you tips as to which league.

Right! either our local league or WNBA or even those World cup that being hosted by bookies,

For now, let the teams and players rest and enjoy their vacations, especially the Warriors who won the world title, give them
time to spare with their families. They deserve the best vacation, with lots of perks coming from the team owners and sponsors..
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 19, 2022, 05:51:12 AM
If I'm not mistaken, Green and Thompson's contract are locked in till 2026. Only Steph is untouchable, Poole might be offer a increased. So it's really going to be a problem on how to free some cap space. So we will see, this is just a rumor and for sure Wiggins wanted to stay and continue with the Warriors because it seems to bring his best right now as he had a break out year (All Star and NBA champion).

No, that's not right. Thompson's contract expires after the end of the 23/24 season, while Green's contract expires after the end of the 22/23 season, and he still has a player option for the 23/24 season. Regarding Wiggins, he was one of the main contributors to the Warriors' win and the second candidate for the MVP finals award. So it's unlikely the Warriors will want to let him go. Imho, Wiggins is more valuable to the team than Green.

I know we do have a different perspective in terms of weighting who's more valuable from

each player who is inside the warrior's roster, but talent wise I will agree that Wiggins is much valuable than Green but
influenced and experience wise, I will stick with Green.

The impact of Green is something that the whole team needs. He has the noises voice that can move everyone to
rotate in both defense and offense.

Yes, success is never separated from someone who works hard and that's how it is,
in trading making decisions is not something easy and takes a lot of practice,
but indeed the decision is very influential on our trading results
I agree that hard work can give you good benefits in terms of trading, but if we take into account that you can have a lot of work but you do not have the correct sense of the market, no matter how much you know from a lot of theory and experience, the market sometimes it teaches us in certain movements, sometimes it is very uncertain and there are movements that not even the whales are capable of seeing, it is for this reason that when I see the market in these moments I admire those who manage to decipher what can happen, without having to fall in gambling.

Can any body truely decipher what will happen in the Bitcoin market, i dont think that is posible that os why Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset. One thing i have learned over the years is the fact that Bitcoin market is not predictable and one should just flow with the market conditions.


Unpredictable indeed, the volatile nature of this investment can attract or throw away investors.

Even you have lots of experienced there's no certain sign that you can rely more on speculations and how you follow the
market trend, there are some who love playing with the rollercoaster ride but more are not willing to take the risk, kind
of investors who are more likely to lose their money while working in this industry.

There's a rumor that Andrew Wiggins might be potential trade due to increasing salary wage of Warriors. They need to trade someone to resolve this and Wiggins has the high chance rate to be trade since Warriors will not gonna let go there Big 3. I don't know if this will commence but I believe this possible since Warriors has really have a high salary cap right now and this is not healthy to there franchise.
I won't be surprised if there will be an actual trade for him. He's now going to get the attention after they've taken the championship this final.
We don't know what it will be I guess this is an early expectation and we just have to wait for a few more weeks or a month to see such news like this.

Yup, rumors will circulate and with his performance this last season, interest to bring him in will flow.

It will depend on the Warriors team owner if how they will handle his case, if Wiggins will be after for the money, Max contract
or a good long-term deal should be on the table.

Unless he will be wanting for more rings, staying inside Warriors and adjust to the amount the team can offer him, just like how
Tim Duncan did when he still playing for the Spurs. He adjusts to meet the salary cap.

Not a good thing after winning a title, just like what happened to KD, but warriors for sure will stay with The Big 3, especially

now that they proved that the system wins with players who are willing to adjust and adopt, but for sure if there's other possible ways to
keep the guy, they will do whatever it means to keep him.

He helps a lot, but it's a money thing and we all know the influenced, if this kind of concerns are the issue to keep the player to stay,
still a rumor and we will only know once they announce the details about it, whether it's true or not.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: June 18, 2022, 07:30:36 AM
Experience and the height and reach advantage, but if Vargas doesn't know how to used it, then Magsayo will have the upper hand on the power. And we like Magsayo to be the underdog just because he will not win, but we will support and bet for the Filipino.

And he knows that beating a good fighter in Vargas will elevate his status as the champion and more opportunity for him to unify and become anther legend from the Philippines. So this is a very important fight for him, legacy and money wise.

Agree with you. If Mark Magsayo will be the underdog even he is the champion here, we will have a chance to taste a good odds while at the same time, supporting our bet. Let those bookies consider Vargas as the Favorite so that we can get a good odds betting for Magsayo. I'm looking forward for a much higher odds on Magsayo winning by TKO and Decision.

Not updated and looking for the odds for this fight but is it already available even for a random guess by some boxing analyst? Is Vargas really considered as the Favorite here regardless of his experience? I don't understand why it should be that way honestly.


Understand your point and that's true, if Magsayo will be the underdog it will be an opportunity to his fans

who are willing to bet for him, higher odd while watching the fight will add up to the entertainment. Magsayo will
earned support from believers who will back him up.

As a fan, I will also add some spare for him if, in case, he will be the underdog against Vargas, first title defense
would be a great challenge to maintain his name up.
1573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 18, 2022, 06:25:30 AM
I think Curry can break the number of championships Jordan has won.

If remains healthy, he can do that for sure. Curry is only 34 years old, there are plenty of seasons to be played and he just needs to win 3 straight seasons so he can break the record of MJ, and of course, win the finals MVP as well so it would solidify his legacy.

Looking at him, he's not an injury prone type of person as he's more shooting outside safely and when he drives the ball near the paint, he also make it sure to be safe and that's good for him as he have more years ahead of him in this league. He is sure the greatest 3PT shooter, so he need to play it safe every game as the team badly need him too. 3 more championship ring and he can get ahead on Jordan's record and about the Finals MVP, this is his 1st award so he still have a long way ahead.
Perhaps the 6 ring will be enough for Curry to accomplished in his career. He has 4 already, Jordan 6 so he needs 2 more. If he keeps being healthy then maybe he can tie the record and leave Kobe and Lebron. But as far as the GOAT in 3PT he has sealed in already, I think his record will stand the test of time. Regarding his body, he has improved a lot, he is so muscular now that he can absorb the force specially when he will go for a layup.

6 rings for the Warriors is very possible, with the way they execute the system Curry can have a good rest

while Poole will take charge and Klay can also rest and let Wiggins back Poole up, I like to see also those support benches
with young Kuminga and Wiseman. They are celebrating now and if they will remain intact coming next season, this team
can win more championship rings together,.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 18, 2022, 06:15:49 AM
just as the title states, a man in Japan mistakenly sent 46.3m yen to his bank account which was supposed to be shared among 436 people in their town. the article says that the man gambled away the money by withdrawing 600k yen daily for two weeks and gambles it in online casinos and when the authority finally contacted him the money has already been gambled and gone. initially the man refuse to pay back the money that was mistakenly sent to him but after some time he decided to pay it back bit by bit. the town is also suing him for this incident.

you can read the full story here
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61490436

now, I have a question, do you think the man is entirely at fault or someone should also be responsible?
Considering that its still not his own, and he knew it clearly from the start, so he should have acted responsible enough to return it to the sender. But instead, he used it to gamble and lose everything. That's when he started to commit a very big fault. Good thing he finally realized to repay it little by little. However, the sender should also be given sanction for his negligence. Its certainly a very huge amount so he should have been very careful with his transaction.

Both have mistake but the fact that the receiver used the money for gambling that's an irresponsible action.

He knew that it's not his money and the best practice was either send it back to the sender or report it to the bank to let them know
that someone mistakenly sends him a huge amount.

And also, to the sender, if it's not really intended, or it's just a mistake, he should also be liable knowing that it's a huge amount
and the purpose is to help. He should be more responsible for checking all the details before proceeding to send out.

please if you want to follow, but you have to DYOR  Wink

BNB is a solid project who already proven his worth, if you are looking for long term aside from BTC.

BNB is one of those fits that will surely generate decent profits. It's just a matter of how will you look at your

But, if you are good at sorting the market and finding the usages, you'll find BNB as one of the best investment

Well, that's it, guys.
Golden State Warriors, our 2021-2022 NBA champions.
We can't deny it. It's all Steph Curry, he is special. Tatum having a difficult time answering back but he is young and this should be a good addition to his experience. I bet we will see them again next year but for now, it's the Warriors' time to celebrate.

Steph Curry is Bill Russell Finals MVP.

Stephen Currey really shows that he deserved to become one of the MVP and we see how he makes a really good performance with the trio of the GSW, i guess next year we will see again a different and more playstyle of the GSW congrats again to the sports bettors who make a good profit in the game.

Still Curry in his prime, with how the system of GSW they can add more titles.

For now, let them celebrate and enjoy what they've deserved. I like how chef Curry cooks today with that kind of solid
performances, he almost duplicates his numbers of game 4.

An amazing Curry with a complete cast behind him who all contributed their best to take this game away from Boston.
Great outcome coming from a great team!
1577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 16, 2022, 10:08:34 AM

so i thought japanese people are all honest.

There is always good and bad fruit everywhere.  Not because you are Japanese or a Chinese you will be this kind of person.  That is a very wrong assumption.

After reading all the replies, I think the receiver is in cahoots with the sender.  It makes sense now why that huge sum of money is transferred to a single account.  It is really impossible for a government office to have such kind of error unless it is planned.  And yeah Land-based Casino is the best place to hide where the money is spent.  The receiver can just say he lost the money in gambling while the truth is he shared the money with the sender.
So with this theory in mind, the sender should also be held responsible.

If proven guilty, there's no way that the sender can escape this case. He will also have that responsibilities.

I get your point, even Japanese culture has that kind of mentalities, there are still people that will come out not the way
mostly thinks.

People are people, we all have differences and we can't control even it's not the usual act. There's still someone that
will break the kind of culture they have.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 16, 2022, 07:50:25 AM
They're commendable on that hurry but still ended up losing, they can't just beat Warriors when they've got the momentum and they aren't able to stop them.

The good thing with the Warriors is they already know how to respond, they are already owning the 4th quarter which the Celtics have been winning before, with the Celtics having a big run in the 3rd quarter, the Warriors respond well in the 4th quarter with a 10-0 IIRC, and after that, the Celtics has not lead in the game anymore.
Yes, with the experience they've got. They know what to do and even the bench players are so damn good that the main starters can rely on them. That's how good they are. And by game 6, we don't know if this is going to end this whole great finals against the Celtics.
Or, if the Celtics will have that good performance once again and will break the two consecutive wins against the Warriors.

Yeah, it was like the team and the players are build the same. Even if you take out the starters, they can still call and make the same play over and over again and that's how good the Warriors throughout this season.

For the MVP nod, if the Warriors win, I'm sure that Steph will received the MVP nod. Wiggins is good, but I think that performance of Curry in game 4 do or die game is good enough for him to have it. One of the best performance we have seen from him in years.

And we don't know how Steph will come up in this upcoming game 6,

He banks 43 points in TG Garden last game 4 and saves their ass from the risk of 1-3 standing, for sure he will again be tested and he needs to have that cheat mode to win this and win another world title. In terms of final MVP, personally Steph should have this one. He deserves the title.
1579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where should I invest money? on: June 16, 2022, 07:30:03 AM
Investing in crypto is risky and if you don't take the risk you will only earn a very small amount of profit or the worst is you will never earn, it is a matter of choosing the best coin to buy and hold and you cannot do holding for a long term if you didn't want to take risk and you will end up lossing. We already know from the start that crypto is risky because of its unstable price that may change anytime so we need to think many times before we invest.
Yes, of course we know how much risk we have when we want to invest in crypto so it is mandatory for us to always do some analysis of the projects we want to invest so that we don't lose in vain, because it's useless. take a big risk but the project we invest in does not promise to give us a good return, so in my opinion it is better to invest with coins that have been proven to provide returns and have strong fundamentals because investing with coins like this we can minimize risk.

We should take time with the possibilities before taking your way into this kind of invest.

I mean, it's important to know the kind of risk and the potentials before making your move, there are people who keep
losing money, thinking that they can easily play their trading patterns, unknowingly that inside the market there are
many whales who's monitoring the movements and do some artificial movement to shake those newcomers and weak holders.
1580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 15, 2022, 07:41:57 AM
I think the guy should return all the money he had gambled because, after all, he received the money due to a misdelivery by someone when it was for 436 people in their town. The man was innocent if he didn't use his money for any purpose but in this case, he had used up all his money. So he had to return all the money. This is related to humanitarian issues; hopefully, this problem can end well without any more fuss. The person who made the delivery should also be checked why he didn't double check before he sent the money.

I think that's what he will do in this case, bit by bit as per OP, he will be returning what he had "stolen". The money is supposed to be for a good cause and he totally ruined everything.

Nevertheless, he was caught red handed and pleaded guilty. Unfortunately, the money was no longer there as he chooses to gamble it away. Yes, both are at fault, but the burden is still on the man, he purposely uses the money not intended for him.

He should be aware that even it's not his fault that the money being transferred to his account, he doesn't have any right to

use it, especially using it to gamble. There's no way for him but to pay for it, knowing the culture in Japan trust
is very important they are more into this culture and without following, they will probably do a suicide instead of
denying the allegation, in terms of using the money that mistakenly send to me, I won't but instead I'll find
the reason and look for the owner. It should be for a good deed but happen to end up with someone who uses
it just to gamble.
