True that, if the game is tight, it does matter a lot. I've seen some games where OKC beat the Timberwolves, and I don't even see the young OKC would last in the playoffs. Well we know that they swept the Pelicans but that was because Zion was out due to injury, if he was playing the series will not end that fast. And OKC, they need to beat the Dallas first provided Dallas will finish the Clippers tomorrow, so I'm seeing that Jokic and his friend Luka will meet in the WCF.

You hit the first one but the 2nd it doesn't look like it will be in your favor. NLEX struggle continues, the first half is over but they are down 19 points now. This team is not known to be good in coming back from huge deficit, so I really don't think they'll gonna come back and win. Anyway, there's still 2 quarters, anything is possible but let's be real, chances are very low.

Since the price is seeing new lows after the all time high and this is just the start of a month, there is panic selling happening with the dumping and making it seem its all going bad. This is nothing new and it will happen in every bear run.

You cant stop people from saying bad and from dumping their coins at a loss during such periods. Our target is to increase our stash of coins and hence we have to buy at the low when the dropping rate aka deceleration reduces, so you will be buying at a discount from the weak hands.

Let the prices fall, make money from prediction games predicting these losses and dont fret, because cycles are the normal thing in crypto.

I am guessing you are referring to bitcoin, if so, then yes the next ATH might be next year, though it could still happen this year, just as we were not expecting bitcoin to set a new ATH before the halving, but it did, the spot ETF's being the difference. That being said, it looks like you are ready to sell all your bitcoins in the next pump to ATH, i wouldn't do that if i were you, you might prolly regret that you do not own bitcoins sometime in the future.

Trading signals. More like Trap signals.

I don't use those kinds of services because almost everybody here in the forum knows that it's just a scam. Not a scheme, a scam! Be sure to understand that.
So, if you are saying you are making daily profits because of them, I will really doubt the legitimacy of it. Just like the others did in the posts above.
There are other ways to be a successful trader and since you talk like that, I bet you have the idea about it. It may be long term but profit is still profit rather than risking your money and spending registry fees in the damn signal group. I would avoid them if I were you. Or is this also a trap to make members ask what signals you are using?

Yes, I also would like to think the Inoue can at least go as close to Manny when going up in weight. But it seems their strategy is very different. Inoue want's to unify belts and then defend it. But in Manny's case, as far as I know, he will go up in weight class immediately except maybe in the 135 lbs and fight the next easiest or weakest champion that they can find. A very intelligent and careful match making by Bob Arum. And maybe another comparison is that both are under Uncle Bob and so he knows and have the blue print already. But Inoue chooses not to do that at this point and may want to stay at 122 lbs for the time being and clean up the division.

I ask my friend who were able to bet on that game, he said that Converge was +25.5 before the game, imagine that, so that's really a huge upset. Bookies were wrong in this, Converge was even dictating the game as they were leading most of the time and until the end they didn't allow the TNT to comeback.

TNT is still going to be in the playoffs but they are not the same team anymore, they really miss the service of Williams because they don't have a consistent scorer that could also play like a mid range game and could play some good defense as well. I'm not saying they'll sign Williams because it does look impossible, but they can find a player like him.

I got interested in Bitcoin to such an extend in early 2011 that I also GPU-mined more than one Bitcoin that I set as a goal for me. I likely visited this forum back then as a guest to dig for information or answers to questions I had.

My first account was registered back in 2013 but this account got locked due to a forum hack and I missed the period to reset my account's password due to inactivity and temporary lack of interest for all around Bitcoin. (Don't care about altcoins or shitcoins in particular.)

I didn't want to jump over all hoops to reactivate my former account^{not clinging to it} and thus registered my current one in March 2021. Regarding the journey from 2011 to 2021 and to present, I'll pay more attention to my current account and made sure to stake necessary data to prove ownership of my account if need arises.

My main goal of participation in this forum is to broaden my knowledge about Bitcoin in particular and crypto coins in general and associated topics of security, self-custody and whatnot. I felt humbled when I was invited to participate in a signature campaign and accepted this new challenge for me. I remember old days when some signatures like those of Chipmixer were seen virtually attached to every post, me being kind of annoyed by that somewhat (perhaps I was a bit envious). The head is round so that opinions can change direction.  

Well said. Prior research need to be done before investing your hard earn money into any financial asset. Following the Media, or crowd and getting involved  into investing in Bitcoin or whatever, like many have done and  regretting now due to loses and mistakes made. This is a clear guide of what everyone should take not of and ensure you understand what you want to get invest in and not from a standpoint of baits (beliefs, quick profits, friends,family) but from a stance of Readiness.

SMB continued their hot winning streak. Another win by beating the Blackwater. Next game will be between TNT vs Converge, this should be a sure win by TNT as Converge is still 0 in this conference so far. I'm just betting on the team total, it's 114.5 for TNT as I think Converge defense are not gonna work for TNT and TNT are now very confident with their outside shooting. Good luck to bettors like me as well.

I think they never got an issue with these since both of guys are really doing well. Lets not forget that its not all about them since they have perfect roster that works together on both ends. Lets also not forget that Porter contributes a lot in terms on points since he shoot so well and give a lot of numbers to give Nuggets a championship. Also with Gordon which also gives a lot of contribution since the guy can score if needed and can defend well. Plus also the other players which perform there roles so well. So its a total team effort for Nuggets that's why they became a champion and Jokic got a lot more better contribution that's why he got that MVP which he truly deserve that recognition.

Nuggets became more better when Murray is back on the rotation before and that's how they compliment together as a team also make Nuggets dangerous since they have a lot of guy that they can trust on offense and defense.

But there are consultants that you need to be careful of, they're there to suggest to you what to buy because they only care for themselves.
And that's what you need to find for as well. Their main purpose is to shill the projects that they are in so that they'd also benefit from it. So, investing to learning is a must and you don't have to be spoon fed by anybody and you won't get fooled by whoever thinks that you're beneficial to them.

From what I can see, you have been in the forum since 2017 and the last time you login to the forum was 2023 which shows that you are not an active and regular person in the the forum.  You will have to be regular in the forum for you to keep getting merits. If you have been active since when you write this post, it would have been quite okay and people would have seen the need to give you merits. You are not active and you are not in any signature campaign, it could be difficult for you to get merits since you don't write nor try to make good post that would make people find you as a regular and good poster.

Advisable I don't think so!

But if you are going to be diligent enough to look for any red flags not to invest or the green flags that will give you a reason that will convince you to invest in the project then I don't see anything wrong investing this way as you have done your homework and it's checked your boxes then one can go for it...

Btw,when it comes to new projects, everyone needs to do their due diligence regardless of being an experienced crypto investor or newbie!!

You have been trying to avoid taking a risk on your own in which assuming any one of them agree to share the investment fund with you by 50% i don't know how you will both share the profits of its return, another thing will be if the market drops and falls, then the other investor decided to withdrawn his investment, what would have happened, all these are what we should know before starting an investment, if you had earlier been well informed about bitcoin, you would have understand why you only have to be the one to invest on your own without the influence of any third party.

I have a friend who is new to sports betting and he asks -
If his bankroll is $100 and he has been told not to use more than 5% of his bankroll per bet, what strategy should he use on this type of bankroll? His question is should he place $5 each on 20 different bets? Or is there a better approach that can be suggested?

There's nothing that they can do against the big man of Wolves, they are really having a hard time and with how ANT is playing that kid is really especial, after Butler I guess ANT is something similar to DWade, he got that big nerve which is not afraid attacking and taking shots, I guess he should continue doing that same stuff with the teo-towers who are also playing at their best.

Suns might suffer the same fate like Lakers, there's no answer against how the opponents are dominating them, tough series but maybe they might win at home, still possible I guess.

Though we can’t blame them because they have the money to manipulate the whole league but if they really love PBA, the commissioner should start implementing their rules and be fair, there’s a lot of trust issues with the league already and the result are not that good for them. Imagine, they are the top league before but not it consider as one of the most corrupt league in the Philippines.

They don't get it actually, the real problem is not that people can't afford for the tickets but it's the lack of interest because they are not anymore seeing this as a competitive league. (X) all that farm teams, at least for a start and let's see from their if the league's revenue will progress. The next thing to do is eliminate sister teams as we can't prevent people from thinking that sister teams when playing they aren't serious.
