Another upcoming loss for the Lakers. 3:33 minutes remaining and the score is 109-95. Too much wasted outside shooting from the Lakers while they were given good shots by the Cavs.
These last minutes, no more Lebron, Davis, and Westbrook, they're just giving play time to their bench players. Well, another accepted loss by the Lakers on their home court.

The Big 3 of Lakers perform well but the teamwork of Cavs give the win, a 14 point deficit which is mostly because of shared ball movement.

It's tough for the Lakers to beat a team where everyone is involved, though Mitchel leads the offense
but aside from him, almost all the players who played for Cavs contributes, this team really have
a competitive squad this season.

And even if the Lakers took the lead in the first 24 minutes, the Cavs didn't panic, after all it's just less than 10 points that the Lakers are holding. They continue to do the things they have done in the first half, Mitchell doing the scoring, but the rest of the team are also contributing at both end of the floor.

While the Lakers can't find their rhythm although they have a somewhat good lead, and their big 3 scoring very well. And that has been the story of the Lakers lately, it's their big 3 that takes the brunt of the scoring and no one is stepping up to help them.

It could be sweet if Jerald was able to maintain and take home the win, but I guess his experience really shows in the latter round of the fight.

Jerald Paclar dominated the first 3 rounds and even sent Yafai to the floor. But the latter didn't lose his confidence and tried to stand strong until finally find his rhythm and turned the table on that fight. Lack of stamina is what I have noticed on Paclar as he might give it all right away in the early rounds already just to finish the fight early.

Although his strategy is effective, he just lacks the gas to keep being dominated the whole round.

The worst one, he didn't even win in one of the judges even with early dominance.

Yes, he gasses out after 3 rounds, if he just had enough stamina, I think he can pull it off with that upset.

Yafai on the other hand, seems to wake up after that knock down, and then make a huge comeback, probably it was just ring rust that affected him early in the fight. But once he got his confidence and the rhythm, just a matter of time. Just another lessons learned for Paclar, nut not sure if he will still be given this chance to fight again at this level. He was in the undercard of one of the biggest fight in Light HW.

^^ Yes, it's going to be sad not to see a unification fight between the 2 Russians.

Speed kills and that is what we have seen again on Bivol, even at a heavier light heavyweight division, his hand speed is really extraordinary. And he has a good chin as well, I think it's round 1 or 2 wherein he has hit by Ramirez and his head snap, but he just eat it and then move forward in the next couple of rounds.

Maybe we will see a rematch after this one. Although Bivol said he doesn't want to even if there is a big money, nevertheless it could only be his option right now.

The bull run is here.

I wouldn't call this is a bull run mate, although the price has been going up, it's not a definition of bull run.

ALTCOINS are going to blow up soon.. Happy to see some of my alts I bought on FAMEEX are just pumping. Matic and optimism just making me smile this morning

Yes, we would like for altcoins to grow, like the coins that you mentioned, or in the top 10. But then again, as majority here says, you don't get to be very excited.We still have a long way to go before we can see a true bull run. And that will only happen after the bitcoin halving in 2024 as we all know that this activity is the final catalyst for the bull run that you are talking about.
1645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 05, 2022, 12:28:14 PM
Nike is into business, they will always make sure that their promoter will be a good model, as of now, Irving does not fit to be a good model so canceling his contract by Nike is just good for him. He has an attitude problem, he is a superstar but unfortunately not a good role model.
He had been doing these things for a lot of times, I don't why it is just now that Nike did this. It should've been before.
Disrespecting your coach (Steve Nash) at that time was not a work of a good role model too. It becomes a plague, not just in NBA but also on leagues with young people playing basketball. NCAA, or small leagues. Those innocents that thinks what he did is the right thing if you don't like your coach, you can talk bad to them and even make them go away.
And so, it happened.
Good for Irving, well deserved, now, I believe he is already realizing that because of his bad action, he already lost a huge amount of money.  I don't understand him, we cannot deny that he is really a great basketball player but he will never be a hall Famer if he does things that are disrespectful because everyone deserves respect.

I don't think that money will be the problem for Irving, yes he could have lost a big chunk of money here if Nike will suspend him or their relationship. But probably the most important thing is his reputation inside and outside of the court. Yes, he has some disrespectful moments in his NBA career, but this one is very different as he is talking about a certain race that has suffered a lot throughout history. So not sure if he can be called a HOF, even his fellow ex-NBA players like Shaq are taking bad against him for his remarks.
1646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: November 05, 2022, 12:03:37 PM
So got the time to look for David Avanesyan fight and see how good he is,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xUFVfAW8rI

This is against Josh Kelly, and Josh was really doing good in the first couple of round even caught Davis napping and almost got a knock down. But David is one tough sob, as he keeps coming back for more and when he landed flash, it was over for Josh.

However, I would say that he is just fairly basic and I think Crawford will win this fight very easy as he can break him down per round.
1647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The History of Blackjack on: November 05, 2022, 11:20:21 AM
Another good history lessons again mate, yeah, we for many years have been enjoying this game.

And of course there are a lot of good movies about blackjack and the one that I vividly remember is "21", wherein a professor build a team of bright students to go to Vegas nad have a run in blackjack table through card counting.

For sure there are a lot more movies about this game that we have seen.
1648  Economy / Speculation / Re: There will be more down - bearish on BTC on: November 04, 2022, 09:14:53 PM
Predictions from many experts believe that the market will bearish again, we must prepare, I will also immediately sell if the price of Bitcoin drops again below $ 20K, a difficult decision but as an investor we must always be realistic so as to avoid greater losses.

Not sure if that is the correct assumption though, we don't sell when the price is going down because you are going to lost money in that strategy and remain clam when the price is going spiral. And if you have money, the best thing to do is buy at the dip and hold, this is just a advise though, take it or leave it.

And so if the price continue to decline in the last 2 months, I wouldn't be affected. Besides we are in a bear market and obviously price is going down and there will be bleeding everywhere you look. It's how you are going to take advantage of this bad situation.
1649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon musk have Just a year to make back his money🙆 on: November 04, 2022, 08:56:57 PM
Twitter's mMAUs (monthly Monetizable Active Users) stands at 450 million. If they pay $8 per month, that gives Elon $3.6B per month. It will take 13 months to make $44B - the purchase price QED. Elon Musk is a genius.

It's not that easy though, not sure if everyone is willing to pay that much.

But obviously, this is the business side of why he wanted to acquire Twitter itself, to make more money isn't it. Maybe it will not be just a year that he will get his money back, maybe it will at least take a couple of years. And not sure if mMAU = blue badge, because that is what the initial news is. They are going to charge for those who are verified and have that blue badge under their names.
1650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How are Online casino's and sports betting platforms coping? on: November 04, 2022, 08:31:03 PM
Does casino really have high maintenance as compare to land base? So not sure if they are reducing their employment at a fast rate. So probably what they have is a support team that works 24x7, maybe a fraud department and the the security and IT experts, infrastructure guy to maintained the health of the system and probably do some maintenance jobs. And even if they will replace them, it's very easy to find someone, the way I see it.
1651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The History of the Roulette Game on: November 04, 2022, 08:11:19 PM
I tend to dislike pure luck based games because I feel like you should be able to help yourself win through games. But sometimes luck based games like roulette feels really relaxed, you don't spend any effort and just take a wild guess. And it really takes no time to define winner and losers here, what a quick game.
I didn't know Roulette was French game but name "Roulette" suggested it somehow, I realized this after I read this post.

Well if you wanted to have some fun, then roulette might be the game for you. But who knows, maybe you are extremely lucky and hit that single number, payout is huge at a single unit to 36 unit in a single 0.

What's interesting is the inventor though, he created it to test probabilities and what not, but some more genius guy turn into a game that up to know, many people around the world become addicted to it.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fees on Dormant Accounts on Crypto Gambling Platforms on: November 04, 2022, 07:52:16 PM
Are you familiar with this? Or has anybody here been actually charged for having his/her crypto gambling account inactive for several months?

No.

The monthly charge could be as high as 15% of the remaining balance. Or, worse, the entire balance could be withheld by the platform itself. Although it could be for security's sake and be returned upon request, who knows what conditions or perhaps KYC information they would require just to have your money back? 

That is huge, 15% is going to be charge if you just keep your money on their platform? That is short of a scam to me. And with that said, I think gamblers now are going to read the Terms of the gambling platform that they are playing or going to play in the future.

For the sake of discussion, let's set aside the fact that one shouldn't leave money in gambling account wallets. Do you think this policy is fair?

Again, as I have said, I'm totally against it, and the only thing we can do is really play our money with them and hope that we can win and get it out the soonest.

Interesting to know how long you can left it? 1 year? 6 months?
1653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to earn some fractions of coins per day in this bear market? on: November 03, 2022, 08:24:17 PM
Now that Bear market is just getting started what are the most safest ways to make some small amounts of crypto every day without risking your assets? I am not considering trading because the risk of losing it all, any other ways?

Everything here is a risk, even if you stake some of your coins to earn, that is already a huge risk on your part.

So I guess there's nothing like what you have describe, not risking your assets to earn small amounts of crypto. Possible if you join bounty and signature campaign, still up to you, but obviously, the bargain is that you will have to make more time in this community.

And for me the best thing to do right now in this bear market is just to accumulate as much as you can and HODL, and then wait for the next bull run.
1654  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC always Decouple on: November 03, 2022, 07:55:11 PM
New fed rates announced , Share market shaked very red colour. over 500Billion wiped. But when we come to BTC. BTC not react aggressively.  BTC on his own way.

Most people put short positions on exchanges but liquidated because BTC pumped at that moment. its a hunt.

my conclusion is BTC decouple most of the equity markets. BTC has own way. So lets trust the timeline

The global crypto market cap is currently at $1.01T, and it has been around for a long time. This has nothing to do with the stock market. I think that the crypto market is separate from the stock market. These two assets run separately. Even the Bitcoin price has not wavered so far, and is still stable at $19k to $20k. Even some other crypto started pumping up 10% to 15% in the last week although it didn't last long. Maybe this can be said as the beginning of the bullish.

They still have some correlation though, maybe we can think that both investors or stock are also in cypto in the last couple of years. We might not agree on it, but that how the financial and economy of every government around the world is tie.

There is no beginning of the bullish market, it's just a short lived pump to $20k. And cycle wise, we are still in the bear market. We are not even half way of the bitcoin halving which is the catalyst for a bull run.
1655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 03, 2022, 01:06:07 PM
The Milwaukee Bucks is doing quite well even in the absence of its second star Khris Middleton. Now the play is simple which is clearly for Giannis or Jrue can just shoot the ball himself. Although Khris is a viable option for the Bucks' offense, especially during playoff games. For now, they don't have to rush for Khris to return right away. Khris can return to the team 100% healthy.

It's unbelievable that the favorite teams continue to struggle except for the Bucks and Suns.
Giannis is too strong that he becomes a black hole absorbing the defense whenever he tries to penetrate to the rim.

He attracted, double or triple team, and now he seems to be hitting his prime as he knows what to do next.

This gives opportunity to shooters as long as he is able to kick it out perfectly to them. Their next game will be a competitive team, the Timberwolves. They rely with speed and with two big man to protect the rim.
This may become their first loss if Gobert and KAT can stop Giannis with his attacks.

He should really pass to his team mates whoever is open and take that shoot. This is really a good game, Gobert is there to try to block Giannis, but KAT can do the damage specially if Giannis is going to guard him inside or outside. And KAT could be a decoy to draw Giannis out of the middle.
1656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK on: November 03, 2022, 12:45:34 PM
True, Fury is calling his way but Usyk is not going to bite on his bluff. He just won a hard fight and then Fury calling him to fight this December. Usyk has every right to decline for reasons of health as he needs to recuperate his body and getting it prep for the next challenge. So Fury is playing his best mind games here, and now going to settle for a fighter that he has beaten already.

What do you think about the split though? should it be 50/50 or Fury will get the biggest share even though he has only 1 belt, but I the most recognized amongst the world boxing bodies?
1657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling winner identity on: November 03, 2022, 11:56:32 AM
The man's reasoning is reasonable, but in my personal opinion this is an irresponsible act, he should as a husband, be honest with his wife or children and even if they turn into lazy, he just needs to educate them hard.
He's reason is kind of funny, how will you hide money from your wife and children because you think they will be lazy, why will you hide anything from your wife, i don't know but won't the man spend the money on his wife and children? Or will he just hide the money and flex it alone? I think he should even have discussion with his wife so that they will know what to do with the money and not hiding the money from his wife, I believe the way you train your wife and children will decide if they will be lazy or not if their is money. If the man is trying to hide is identity from public I think that's really a good idea for security purpose, but shouldn't hide the money from his wife and children.

Perhaps that is only his second reason why he is hiding his identify. And we can only conclude that he doesn't want his family know because maybe they will live a lavish lifestyle because of this huge windfall. And perhaps he wanted, specially for this children to experience what life is, again, maybe he was brought to be like this before by his parents as well. He wants to infuse to them that they need to work hard if they want to achieved their dream and not being granted because they are rich because of his father winning the lottery. The first reason, his relatives coming and knocking on the door to ask for money.
1658  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will Fed take tomorrow? on: November 02, 2022, 09:49:50 PM
What will Fed take tomorrow?
We are confident that Fed will keep raising interest rates at this time, but by how much? What if it goes up by 50 points? What if it goes up by 75 points? Pump or Dump?
Give me a good cause to make a big short (long) trade, I'm ready with cash  Tongue

Peace!!!

I guess we got the answer now, it's 75 points.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-hits-20-8k-as-volatility-ensues-over-fed-75-point-rate-hike

And obviously, it point a dent on the market price, hitting $20,100 right now and it seems that this might continue throughout the week and nosedive around high of $18k to lows to $19k.

Hopefully though, those who see this as positive thing is going to buy at this current price or wait till it plunges again. So it is still a win-win for us regardless of what the Fed rate hike is.
1659  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Japanese gambling - tabsai game on: November 02, 2022, 09:17:25 PM
This game almost target to Japanese user because it is traditional game of Japanese.
We are making the website with English version as well. We will keep it posted here
I am not sure if there is a Japanese local board. You are saying it's targeting the Japanese users, then you may need to consider creating another thread in your language on the local board. You will get better response than here.

I have no idea how to play the game. Not even form the rules you wrote on your OP.

Hopefully, this is just another of those "lost in translation", maybe what he meant is that of course they will target the Japanese audience, but it's better if they can expand their horizons for non-Japanese as well?

I think it will be good though as many gamblers will like to try local games as well.

So good luck to the OP and hopefully you will can some traction amongst gamblers here (Japanese and non-Japanese).
1660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 02, 2022, 08:46:24 PM
I really don't think that Inoue is going to beat Butler by a knockout, it's like something very terrifying for Butler, although it is very possible because the possibilities are present in them, many things can happen, among them they can be taken into account that they last All the Rounds and that the decision be unanimous, but Butler would be showing that he is a boxer who resisted one of the best there is today, this is something that must be recognized, and he could even have the right to a good rematch

I don't understand some parts of your post but I'm amazed that there are still a few thinks that Butler will survive the 12 rounds against Inoue.

It might happen and that's possible but in my observation and analysis I will rule out that from happening.

However, I would think that everything could happen in the term of not finishing the rounds but with a possible knockout, and the other option is that Butler comes out, surprises Inoue and ends the fight winning.

I will also ruled out the possibility of Butler winning the fight at the end. I can't even say such things and no offense to Butler's followers.

We just have to wait on the day of the fight to see if there will be an upset win or if the monster will just do his monster thing.

Right! I'm also happy to see that there's someone here who believes that Butler have a good and fair chance in defeating the monster of Japan, Naoya Inoue. However, I will be also among the first ones who will break that statement because no offense to Butler's fans/believers out there, saying that Butler has a good chance is quite seriously an overstatement, why? Look at his recent fight against Jonas Sultan who is the replacement of Casimero, he just barely won that fight. Casimero could have destroyed this Baby Faced Assassin but the latter had an easy journey towards the unification fight against Inoue. That is why I really don't believe that Paul Butler have a decent chance against Inoue.

And the odds as well by crypto sports bookies, they know that Butler has a slim chance to win against the Monster. Yes, there could be upset, but it's the question on whether Butler has the tools, which we see that he didn't have because he even had a hard time against Jonas Sultan. And we believed if that is Casimero, then maybe it could be a different outcome (sorry for bringing the name of Casimero again, but it's a good comparison). So for backers of Butler here, best of luck.
