A bit of a trivia Smiley. Coach Chot Reyes is 4-0 in PBA Finals in All-Filipino Cup and on the other hand, Coach Leo Austria is 5-0 in PBA Finals in All-Filipino Cup.
Now I know thanks for the trivia mate it seems those finals in all Filipino cup is for the battle of the best coaches in PBA as you said that coach chot eyes record has a 4-0 while coach Leo Austria has also a good record which is 5-0 and now this season they will face and one of the best coaching style will be the best and claim the trophy and as I observe in their previous match is seems we can see a very good fight, tight defense and good offense for both teams.
Good observation but it looks like Coach Chot Reyes will not be able to attend the early games of the finals but hopefully he can still catch up since he also handle the Gilas team which will start this week. Well, the finals are more exciting because of the two great coaches, the odds are out already and It’s a good odds because you can see that TNT and SMB are equally good and the odds can easily be covered. This will be a high scoring game for sure, let’s find out this one today.

Both are offensive coaches and they will equal the capabilities of their opponents or better to dominate them when opportunities come up. These two coaches have the system that will allow their players to play and find the advantages. More on rotations and finding the weak side to penetrate, we already discuss the offensive arsenals and how it will work in terms of offensive attacks.

It will be revealed later and good luck to all who already place their bets on whoever wins the game 1 they are deserving as finals is ready
the last competition that both top caliber teams will be playing for the title crown.

We have to commend the job of Chot Reyes on TNT, although has has a lot of criticism on handling the Gilas team, but we cannot deny that the TNT has became a championship team when Chot Reyes assume the job again. So this time, it's going to be a tough battle for him but he has all the weapon to win this series.

Exerting more effort into the marketing will help them sell more, more PPV and gate entrance means more money, and probably more sponsorship as well. This is an anticipated fight and it could only happen once, so they have to take this opportunity to make more money.

Marketing is not a problem. Just announced officially that anticipated fight then brace for big sales and probably all tickets will be sold in just a day. This is a blockbuster fight that anyone waits for years. This will probably be the biggest fight this year of all the big fights that happened this year.

Before, it was just a dream and far from being happened. Now, it was close to happening and people's money is just waiting to watch this fight.

I always subscribe to PPV on our local cable channel for that type of event. I hope the price is not high though not expecting it to be cheap. Just between.

I believe both sides are still checking the pulse of the boxing community.
This can be their biggest paycheck for both boxers, so maybe, they are also careful on when and where this fight will happen.
And also, the arrangements on both camps. The purse split and all the other things attached to it.
This is no ordinary match for both of them. I believe a lot of boxing fans would be willing to pay for this fight.

They know they will make more money, what they are waiting is to ensure that they will maximize the possible income they can get here. We are only speculating, the money side is already a win-win for both, however, we know that whoever losses this fight, his future might be affected.

The wait is over guys, odds are already out just now. Check your sportsbook !

SMB is indeed the favorite but a slight favorite only.

SMB -1.5
over/under 194.5

That might change a bit defending on the bets that would come, so if you like SMB to win game 1, I think -1.5 is decent enough.

Let us not waste time, get that line now, whether it move in favor of TNT or not, it doesn't matter because that -1.5 is already a gift in case SMB will win since it can easily be covered. About the total, I guess this will be a high scoring game as both teams can shoot outside.
1644  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one do you think its more healthy for a project on: August 19, 2022, 07:57:17 PM
Most especially new projects do you think its healthy to rush things up or take a lot of time and gradually release updates and follow roadmaps slowly? There are some complains that most projects aren't following the exact timing on their roadmap and some even takes this is Red Flag.
I personally think that a slight delay was not a problem as long as the project developers can deliver what they have written in their roadmap. The thing might be different if they were giving a very long delay. that may make investors feel bad with it.
You must also know that if that was also a red flag to the project caused by the dev was not competence to continue its development.
To think that the project already shows a red flag from the start, then there’s no reason to trust it anymore and continue to invest. Except for those good projects who are really trying their best to meet the deadline and follow the roadmap, they deserve to be understood and should gained our trust. Other than that, projects that are only rich in their promises but seem to have less in action, I think they are not worth of our penny.
1645  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Politics: Rent a House for Free and Earn on: August 19, 2022, 07:15:44 PM
This is actually quite common here in my country. There are those who will rent an entire house and offer the rest of the vacant rooms for other renters. The kitchen, living room, and restroom are common areas shared by everyone. I used to rent a room in the city with this setup.

But normally among students and even workers, they just rent an entire house or a spacious apartment together and divide all the expenses equally among them. In this way, they can save a good deal and live quite comfortably. Nobody is making any profit.
True. Students nowadays have become wise in managing their finances. Instead of looking for a single room to rent, some group of students prefer to rent an entire house and just end up dividing all the expenses including the electric and water bill, and the rent itself. So they can save a lot, and those extra money can still cater to their daily allowance or for their various projects in school.

Have been involved with Crypto 6 months now and my portfolio is now only 20% down due to this run we are currently going through.

My main position is 55% in profit and I have been debating if I should take some to then buy back lower when we experience our next crash.

Just wondering what everyone else does? Do you take profits along the way and if so at what point? Or do you just invest to hold long term?

When I first started 6 months ago I had the intention of just buying and waiting 2-3 years till our next bull run to cash out but lately I have been thinking if I can also make money along the way then that would be even better.
It’s definitely your own choice if you intend to hold for long term while taking profits along the way. It’s a good idea indeed but let me remind you that it’s not as easy as it is. You have to be very careful and find the right timing to take your profits so that you won’t sell at a loss. Otherwise, if you happen to sell at a bad price, you will never make profits at all and your hodlings might be compromised too as you might also sell them when it’s not yet the right time to sell.
1647  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Alt coins are About to pump again! on: August 18, 2022, 09:39:20 PM
expecting just a relief rally only.
Hope so, too everyone doesn't believe the ATH trading cycle will happen this year, of course some specifics about Altcoin can promise, like: OOKI 26%, SCRT 21% and others, maybe.

I see a lot of crypto users, trading nowadays, considering the crypto market has changed from a promising pace, do something best for yourself in the current market developments, while waiting for the new ATH to happen.
Waiting when an ATH will come is something that is still uncertain, the reason why most people just take advantage on what is happening in the present as it could also bring huge profits in the future. For now, crypto prices are still giving us a good opportunity to buy at the dip and hold for long term, and when the real ATH comes, then we can reap more and enjoy the fruits of our labor.
1648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I started business many days ago. Now it's time to accept Crypto as a payment. on: August 17, 2022, 09:51:50 PM
I hope your business will prosper and even though the number of customers paying with cryptos are less, don't remove the option for them because you are also helping to the financial revolution we have to remove the banks from having total control of our money. I love to see the world where everyone have their own freedom with their money without any fear of inflation or sanctions from other countries and anything like it. Some business owner are considering such thing because some of them really want to hold bitcoins with the spare money they have.
This is definitely a great idea since you are making the people more aware on bitcoin that its not only used as an investment, but can also be used as a payment system. However, you cannot expect to see positive results on that in just a short period of time as people are still adjusting to it and some people would still stick to fiat because its easier to use and they are used to it. But still, continue doing that as you might be an inspiration for other business owners to start accepting crypto too in their own business.

1650  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Millions are still been raised in this bear market on: August 16, 2022, 09:50:53 PM
Bear market is here but new NFT/Metaverse projects are raising millions of funds, I think this is not bad news for the future of crypto and the next bull market might even be bigger than what we've seen before, what do you think? Are you excited for the future of crypto.
oh yes, of course I am very excited, especially about the metaverse project,
I think the metaverse project is still very young, and it is natural that many people invest there,
but of course, we have to know the risks, in the crypto world the risk is greater than the stock market,

Lots of investors see a huge potential in metaverse projects and they're taking advantage of the market situation to invest in it. I'm sure that the brave hands today are also the strong hands that will make a profit in the future. Metaverse still needs more polishment but if they will develop it well, it will have a good future in the crypto world.
Metaverse projects have become the trend these days as they become the best source of profits more than you can imagine. Although not all have made to the end and succeeded, but knowing that these projects bring a lot of fortune to those who take the risk and did tried something new, then they are worth to invest of our own hard-earned money. However, always take caution in investing as there are still a lot that will look very promising at first but they end up surprisingly scams.

Why should you bother with this?
When you ask him every day why don't you do your research whether this will be long or short at least with this you can find out even though it's just a basic idea and maybe it's still speculation.
One thing is for sure when you know then what? if it's long you'll regret not following it and if it's short do you regret being in it too?
Decide for yourself because when you ask questions every day without any clarity, it will only make you dizzy. enter btc when you are sure you are there and stop now if you are not sure because if you continue it will only hurt yourself.
Most likely you end up panicking when something is wrong or things didn't make it to your expectations. But this is how bitcoin behave and the rest of the coins in the crypto market. You should always consider that bitcoin do not give fixed price and it changes from time to time, that is how volatility works. If you are not sure with what you are seeing right now, then don't trade or invest. Otherwise, you will only regret your decision as you did not listen to you own sentiments and with the market sentiments too.
1652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency = The mother or father of all scams and bubbles on: August 15, 2022, 09:58:04 PM
Since the inception of bitcoin, we have seen multiple attacks and detractors from known or little known personalities. I still remember when Jemie Dimon attacked bitcoin, how badly the market reacted. But now we are immune to such attacks and it doesn't matter anymore who says what about cryptocurrency and blockchain.

But such statement can only come from ignorance and lack of knowledge. Let people speak what they want while we will contine to enjoy a path braking innovation like bitcoin for our benefit.
Seeing a lot of multiple attacks for cryptocurrency does not bring negativity by all means. Its even for us to realize more that there is more in crypto that keeps triggering them, that is why we should keep it even more and continue to build profit opportunities. Scams are everywhere, and its even worst in fiat, the reason why we should never be bothered at all as these people have only nothing to say but to ruin the reputation of cryptocurrency, most particularly with bitcoin. Let them say what they want, as they will never be profitable doing that way.
1653  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mastering the market movement is what aid profits and not the price. on: August 15, 2022, 09:29:01 PM
As a day trader or a passive trader, most are confused about how to make the best out of the market, and many will always complain of losses during a bear market, meanwhile with the right mastery one can make massive profits in the bear market and this goes further to clarify the fact that market conditions do not have much to.do with your profit maximizing but proper market mastering is what gives profits in whatever market.
First, you must understand the risks of trading this volatile asset. Second if you are really interested in trading it then you have to be prepared to take the risk. I just think we should avoid trading greed because we basically never really know what will happen to the next price.

Buying on the dip is a good strategy if we really believe in the potential profit we can make in the long run. But I don't think this method will be as good as expected if it is applied to random altcoin that we never know and know about their use cases, so I only agree if this is practiced on bitcoin or some of the top altcoin.
Mastery of the market movement is not that easy as you have to experience different market conditions so you can tell its price movements too. Even legend traders cannot guarantee to never lose in trading particularly when the market is very unstable. That is why if you want to secure your money, never trade when you see the market is not suitable for trading activities. Especially when the market is bearish, its better to keep on buying and accumulate more bitcoin as it will maximize your profits when the market turns bullish.

Thank You.
Nothing comes in easy
I think most of the time people get the financial freedom after a hard hit on them - they become tough and more rigid with their financial dealing and with the people. Happend with me not sure about other.

They'd have to go through a lot of difficulties in life before learning. Finance can be harder to manage when they already have few options and sometimes the job itself is making it more difficult. Its why some people prefer to just manage a small business like selling streetfood because its way easier and the money that comes with it is not fixed.

Best to so is to not spend more than what you have.
That is the most effective way not to run out from budget, only spend less than your income so that you can still save some of your money. Although it’s hard when starting and seems boring, but if you want to manage well your finances and save some of it, you have to sacrifice first your luxurious lifestyle as it won’t be good for yourself in the long run. After all, once you gain financial stability, living life in luxury won’t never be a problem anymore as long as you are not overspending from your own source of living.
1655  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Finally Helped My Friend Invest $50000 Into BITCOIN for Retirement. on: August 14, 2022, 05:20:59 PM
Convincing him to get into bitcoin is a pretty good move as long as you also educate your friend how to properly secure his asset. Because if not, I am certain that you'll be having a bad day when those bitcoin gets lost either by getting hacked or losing the seed phrase.

Teach him at least some basic cyber hygiene.
He won’t get wrong investment with bitcoin as it remains the best asset in the crypto market. Gold and estate returns may also be good but definitely, bitcoin exceeds them when it comes to profiting. However, there’s always high risks when you invest in bitcoin, as you won’t be seeing stable price for bitcoin because it’s more on price fluctuations, and hopefully your friend is aware of that. And yes, let him be aware too that stealing or hacking bitcoin is very possible, so he should always be responsible on keeping its private keys more safe and fully secured. Bitcoin’s value is growing in time, that is why we should guard its safety at all times.

Low scoring game so far, it's supposed to favor Magnolia as that's their game, however, looks like TNT is leading the game now. Lucky for those who choose to bet on the under as for sure it will hit the under 90%, unless OT will happen. The scary part here is that Williams has not been scoring well yet, so if he explode in the 2nd half, it's going to be hard for Magnolia to win.
1657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 14, 2022, 11:27:12 AM
I'm not sure the warriors owner or GM cares about the salary cap. They were over the cap this year and paid the luxury tax I believe. It's really just a matter of do they value Draymond and I think they do.

Maybe the Warriors value Green, but I doubt they will ever be ready to offer him a max contract. Honestly, I don't know exactly how much the Warriors paid the luxury tax this time. However, if the Warriors' owner and management hadn't really cared about the salary cap, they would've tried to keep the entire championship roster by satisfying the requests of some of the players who already left the team during this offseason.

I think the bottom line on the Green situation is that Curry wants them to offer Green the max, so they probably will.  Does he deserve it?  Probably not.  Maybe for what he's already done for them, but going forward he is most definitely not a max player.

Green also made news today by saying that Carmelo Anthony is a better scorer than Kevin Durant.  I doubt even he believes that, but maybe he's trying to sweet talk Anthony into signing a 1-year deal with the Warriors.

Even time Green open his mouth since he had that podcast, he always like try to make controversial statement or something. And it is obvious to hype his podcast so I will take everything with a grain of salt moving forward on everything he will say in the public.

And I think we all agree that Green is not a max contract player, specially that his plays are built around the Warrior system and that he perfected that. So it will be interesting to see him with other teams, make new adjustment and see if he can still perform like what he is doing as a Warrior.

He is just trying to pressure the Warriors to give him a max contract as he is part of the big 3, it's just unfortunate that his performance is not so impressive in the playoffs although they won the championship. However, in the end, it still depends on the decision of the Warriors if they will give him a max contract or not, and it's also up to Green if he will look for another team to give them what he is asking for.
1658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: August 13, 2022, 02:04:22 PM
So we will see in this fight, maybe the PPV will not have great numbers, but the live gates might be very different. So we shall see, in the weigh in he was beaming with smile, could be that he is very happy to make the weight that easy, no more huge diet in his part just to make the contractual weight. And I also check the line, bookies are not listing any options for now, and that is too bad for those who want to bet and wants to see more options instead of the ML.

The fact that this fight is happening, means promoters are still making money despite not that much compared to the championship fight. It's Lopez's debut in this new division, if he wins this, he will more challengers before he can finally have a chance to challenge the champion.
1659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 13, 2022, 01:36:21 PM
I'm surprised with the SMB odds but not the TNT vs Magnolia odds.

Magnolia won the last game, they should be at least only +2.5 underdog just like the previous games, but I think that +3.5 is very tempting.
For SMB vs Meralco, that seems easy for SMB but who knows, what if Meralco will even the series and force the series to game 7.
Many are too confident that SMB will end the series for Meralco but of course we all know, Meralco is capable of winning as well, we can expect game 7 if they are able to execute their strategy very well. The odds looks fair enough, since SMB is the favorite team here and maybe they just want to give some hope for Meralco bettor, you still need to be careful though and choose your best team. With Magnolia vs TNT, its very dangerous for TNT to allow Magnolia to get another win, they should finish the game or else Magnolia can have a good momentum and take the series.
You can't blame us, LOL.. SMB has a huge number of fans compared to the Meralco, so it's just normal that we believe SMB will win. Next to Ginebra, it should be the SMB and it will be more entertaining to watch if SMB and TNT will play in the Finals.
