1701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you get over a bad loss? on: October 20, 2022, 04:28:30 PM
Nothing I guess, although I will have difficulty sleeping thinking about that bad loss, but once I got my rest, the next day I will be normal.

Of course, I will have to go back and see what's wrong with me or why I didn't quit that early when I still have the money and chooses to play for me and be greedy. Just some lessons for me to learn and then life goes on and never look back at that bad lose. But I understand what others may have to go through before moving forward after suffering a defeat and a huge one.

Los Angels Lakers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The Stake odds for this game are 2.90 for the Lakers While 1.44 for the Clippers, Reggie Jackson will be playing but I think for just a short while, or is he 100% OK, Westbrook seems really focused lately but then again I never think if he's going to be consistent now, but the Clippers now have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the team but does their chemistry could fit the bill against the Lakers, but for this game, I am going with the Los Angeles Clippers,

These odds for the upcoming game are quite expected, considering the Lakers and Clippers met each other 4 times last season, and the Lakers have never won. So I also expect the Clippers will win tonight. As you said, the Clippers have healthy Leonard, George, and Wall, which means they will be an even tougher opponent for the Lakers. Nevertheless, tonight's game should be interesting anyway.

Yes, it will be interesting to see the Clippers healthy with Leonard back in the line up and so with the new addition, John Wall. Lakers have been struggling in this pre game so maybe it will continue this way with their Los Angeles rivals.

And looking at the odds, the Clippers are favorite so that won't be a problem for NBA bettors.

I'm more interested to see Kawhi Leonard, hopefully he will be healthy throughout this season so that the Clippers have a better chance and not be in the bottom half in the West.

As a responsible gambler, I know we don't let gambling change our lifestyle. If today is your luckiest day ever in gambling,on your first game you won the sum of $50 000.
First, will you quit the game immediately and withdraw all your funds or will you play for awhile because you are excited.

I wish this will happen to me, so my reaction will be, to withdraw majority of the money so that I can enjoy it. But then leave some on the casino and continue to play at some point in time.

Second, will you use this money to upgrade your lifestyle i.e living big and showing off,even relocating to a better environment and forget about your old friends in your former neighborhood ? Or will you just remain quiet,happy and living a your normal way of life but investing the money into something profitable without telling anyone ?

To be honest, it's not that huge money, yeah, you can buy a house in our country or even a car, but the problem is, can you sustain your lifestyle if you change it just because you won $50k.? I guess you need to be smart, maybe invest some of that money to crypto but I don't think it will completely change your lifestyle.
1704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain (dot) com refuses to close my wallet on: October 19, 2022, 12:46:53 PM
I have asked many times to Blockchain (dot) com to close my wallet but Blockchain just ignores me and doesn't close the wallet.

You can't close a wallet as far as I know, but you can make it inactive by now opening it.

I have to close it for fiscal reasons and I can have a very negative impact due to Blockchain behavior.

What do you mean by this?

I have a wallet with 1 Stellar XLM and Blockchain doesn't allow me neither to sell it, to send it nor to close the wallet.

Can someone help me?


Perhaps you don't have enough XLM to move it out, so my best guess is that you still have to deposit some before you can move it out. Again, if you are really interested then you can do that so you can empty our wallet.

Otherwise, as I have said, you can't delete your wallet in blockchain, so it's your choice.
1705  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price consolidation at $20k for 4 months on: October 19, 2022, 12:13:56 PM
Right now we hit the lowest bitcoin volatlity since 2020. So pretty much any day now there is going to be an explosive move, however no idea which direction.

Everybody thinks it will go down to $15K, since everybody thinks this. The opposite will happen. Just like in November 2018 when everybody assumed that $6K was the bottom and it would go up after a long period of consolidation and the complete opposite happened.

I think most likely this move will happen sometime in November, so a couple more weeks.

Let's see, but I have to agree that when everyone is expecting the price to move on a positive direction, it move on the opposite. Similarly in 2021 wherein November we hit almost $70k and everyone is calling for 6 digits in December, after all it was the prediction of PlanB.

However, it moves on the opposite direction, the price plummeted after that and it is the bubble already. And now we are in a bear market.
1706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Game Have You Won The Most From And How Much In Total? on: October 19, 2022, 11:15:11 AM
1. Do you believe there are some games that carry ill luck with them, that no matter how long and how much the player wager, he or she never win significant amount of money?

Still base on luck though, although there are games are are skill based, but the element of luck will always be present no matter what games you played.

2. Which game have you won the most amount of money from?, and how much in total did you win from that game?
Maybe you can also mention the game provider(Pragmatic, Evolution   etc.) so we can search for the game on our respective casinos and try it out.

50 lions for me, I was so lucky that I have put max bet and I almost hit every lion on the reel and it give me like $4k and then I quickly withdraw it because I can't believed that I was able to win that big.
1707  Economy / Gambling / Re: Regulations & Gambling projects on: October 19, 2022, 10:56:53 AM
When regulation takes a hit on crypto prob in few years from now what will happen to gambling projects like Roobet and others? I've discovered one gambling project claiming to be regulated but there is nothing to prove that, anyway, can regulation affects gambling projects in future that's all I seek.

Regulation will come sooner or later because governments dont want to be left behind and loose the chance of getting money. Governments are only here to make our lives difficult, that is all they are worth for. Its a bit like cryptos, in the begining it was not regulated, now they running after crypto legislation as they dont want to miss on profits

It's already here mate, I think it has been since 2018 if I'm not mistaken. It was just evident in the last couple of years. It started when regulators look for crypto exchanges and then mandated they to have KYC/AML.

And then it followed by crypto based online casino. It's that some of them are still very adamant to apply it to their users because they know there will be an uproar. Nevertheless they will have to follow what the regulators are mandated so definitely it will have to happen sooner than later.

Yes, although he made a comeback and get his fans excited, I doubt think that he can bring back the clock. He might be satisfied on entering tournament and see how far he can go or even winning (and losing) against young guys.

I guess though the competitive spirit is still inside of him. Nevertheless, might be in a couple of years he might go and retire.

I think he also enjoys it just too much. Otherwise, why would you keep competing if you know that you can't win anymore against players that you defeated easy on years ago.
He can indeed win the first couple of rounds, even against keep players, but that's about it.

Maybe, he is still enjoying playing against this young players and he wanted to proved that he still has it. However, it's two different things, maybe your mind is telling you to go and play, but if your body is not cooperating because of injuries and you are already way past your prime. Then sooner or later you will have to make that difficult decision just like any other athletes, it's just to retire and no need to push yourself anymore and let this young blood be the next of the generation.

Zion's ability to dominate inside is very big especially now that Ingram is very confident already with his shooting and attacking the paint.

If he keeps being healthy, we might see again another player in today's basketball that is dominating the paint. Even though he can shoot 3s, his main offense is coming from the inside. Not just in offense but he is also a good defender under the rim. His presence inside is enough for that specific player not to attempt to attack the rim.

About Brandom Ingram, he's been always acting as the main guy since his Lakers day but sorry to say that he really doesn't have the ability to be the main guy or at least carry a team. He is sometimes on and off too with his performance.

I can't say if he will be as dominating inside or in the paint because there are also a lot of good defenders inside. But the thing with Zion is that he can play outside as well I believed. He can be a threat in 3 point as he can shoot it.

And then he had help with CJ and Ingram. Another option is that he can play post and then pass the ball outside.

I will like to see Zion developed to be a great and elite player, not just known to be power and giving us highlight dunks.


1710  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin may drop to $15k or so but it'll definitely hit $300k+ in coming years on: October 17, 2022, 01:31:16 AM
Lol, the OP is hyping everyone here.

A dropped to $15k this bear market? possible

But a spike to a new all time high in the $300k'ish? so it will be like x5 of our last all time high of more than $60k in 2021? well your guess is as good as mind. But to be honest, isn't it too high for a prediction in the next bull run? $100k might be a good prediction but $200k-$300k might be out of the equation, just saying.
1711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Metaverse is the future on: October 16, 2022, 08:57:56 PM
I still think that metaverse is still in its development stage, but there is also one that will rival the metaverse trend, namely web3. web3 is also very promising in the future, just suggesting not only focus on the metaverse trend, but there is a lot of potential that will happen in the future.


Yes it is true, many developers always confirm that the metaverse project is new and complicated so it takes a long test, the good thing now is the trust of many big companies to invest in or finance the metaverse project so that it will be good in the future.

Maybe some of us don't see the potential of the metaverse yet because of the current market situation. But if it will prove its full potential and will develop more of its features in the future, doubters could turn into investors. Metaverse can still have a good future but we can only see it when they survive the bearish season and will continue to stand firm until the market gets back to normal.

It will really take years before we can actually see what Metaverse can really bring not just for crypto enthusiast but even for ordinary person. I mean the VR was the first one, and I would say that it didn't have the adoption that we are all wanted to see. And now they incorporate NFT's and crypto and call it Metaverse. And with the covid virus around, well why not? But since everything is getting back to normal, not sure how Metaverse will take off as people's nature is to communicate with one another directly.

I understand the moves of the Warriors but I can't comprehend the luxury tax situation. Are we to expect that they will really pay almost half billion for taxes? Do Nba franchises really making that much money when they become champions?

As far as I know, the Warriors will probably spend over $500 million in the 23/24 season, including $268 million in taxes. That's really a lot, but I think the Warriors have enough revenue sources to cover such huge expenses. Obviously, tickets aren't the only source of revenue for this team. I'm more than sure the Warriors also make a lot of money from TV, merchandising, advertising, and various partnerships.

Yes, there are other sources of revenue and so I guess they can spend that huge amount just to sign Wiggins and Poole to a huge contract.

And I think they made the right decision for this two, they are part of the core now and so the Warriors should pay them otherwise they will leave for sure just like the rest of their second unit. Although you can't blame them, at least with the Warriors experience, they can bring their talent and obviously good contract from other teams.

Andy Murray lost today in Gijon against Korda 2-1 , Murray was the underdog so it was not shocking that he lost, the American is one of my personal favorite young players, i saw him play a couple of matches before, he is pretty good, he didn't quite blow up but he's still young, i'm pretty sure he can win a big title in the future.
After short break this is the highest reach of Andy Murray reaching Quarter Final. In his previous tournaments he used to end with group stages or by the third round. As age pass, his performance keeps moving downwards. More young players are ready to dominate the tennis world. One amongst them is Korda.

Yeah, I think this is the highest that Andy Murray has reach in a tournament thus far, so it's not that bad however still very tough tournament for him as he lost to a young Korda.

So Korda will be facing Rublev now. I will go with Rublev in this one. I thight Rublev has some confidence but probably this will be extended into 3 sets, I reckon.

Andy Murray is finished and that happened a long time ago. Now he just plays tournaments and if he gets to the quarter finals its a big achievement for him. He goes on the tournament just because those tournaments invite him because he is a large name,but he aint a threat to anyone.

Yes, although he made a comeback and get his fans excited, I doubt think that he can bring back the clock. He might be satisfied on entering tournament and see how far he can go or even winning (and losing) against young guys.

I guess though the competitive spirit is still inside of him. Nevertheless, might be in a couple of years he might go and retire.

Helenius has a bad game plan against Wilder. He pushes him and try to be the aggressor. But he forget to put his hand to protect his chin.

We all know that the Bronze Bomber still had that power despite him losing the twice to Fury. And with that win, his confidence is back. Usyk could be in the radar for him next. Gonna be a good fight as well but I guess Usyk technical skills will be too much for Wilder, just saying.
1715  Economy / Speculation / Re: some BTC price forecasts based on regressions on: October 15, 2022, 09:10:39 PM
Right now it reminds me of what happened in Nov 2018. We basically got no volatility. Even with the good job report last week, we dumped a little and stocks dumped even more. Bitcoin is basically trading sideways.

The volatility now is going back to 2 year lows. Similar to Nov 2018, where we traded sideways for 2 months and then boom, crazy 50% crash. I predict that we will see something similar here for the month of November. However we don't know whether it'll be up or down. Maybe you can buy some options to play both directions.

Yes, thanks for mentioning that because I also see similar patterns from November 2018.

So we might see the price still going down next year, I know others doesn't want to hear that, but if the pattern holds true and see an imminent crash might be still in the calendar for next year.

Or if there's no crash to like the levels of $10k, we will see another low maybe in the $15k range.

What is the cheapest way of me doing this considering I do not own any Eth?

Is my only choice to buy some Eth on Coinbase and trasnfer it to my Ledger?

Not sure if it is worth it may just hold Quant a while longer see if it can reach £200

Yes, you really need to get some Eth in either of the exchanges and put it to your ledger before you can send it out to Binance and sell.

You don't need to buy huge amount of Eth, just enough to keep some in your Ledger because you just don't know, maybe you will have to make another transaction with some of your altcoins in your wallet.

1718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: October 15, 2022, 04:50:59 PM
I'm already assuming that after this Ramirez fight he will push his chance facing Beterviev who knows he might also upset another champ and add more in his belt.

I think there will be no mandatory fight for Bivol if he wins this fight against Ramirez. The unification fight involving him will surely follow next.

Either it is Artur Beterviev as his next opponent if won against Anthony Yarde next year or someone else.

I hope Beterview is now fully healed for his match next year as that was the reason why this month's face-off with Yarde was postponed.

Yes, that's also my concern on Beterviev, he is injured and trying to heal that's why his fight with Yarde is postponed for the meantime. There is no timetable for his return so it might be good or bad for Bivol. What I mean is that if Bivol wins and does not want a Canelo fight then he has to wait for the Beterviev vs Yarde winner. But he don't know when is the fight going to happen since Beterviev didn't have any released date for his return. So everything is hanging on Beterviev's recovery before we can see the unification fight in Light Weight.

At least he need a rematch against Ugas and prove if he's have a power to fight against Spence or Crawford, after that there's will be a lot hype if Pacquiao could beat them.

I believe he can match either Spence of Crawford with proper training, but he can start with a rematch against Ugas, I'm pretty sure Ugas would not say no because when he was asked after the fight against Pacman, he was open for a rematch, so Pacman could start on that if he is planning to go off of retirement.

I would stir away from Ugas, if I'm Manny and if he wanted to make a comeback. Just choose someone in the 147 lbs that he can likely beat or will take a dive just to fight money and the money that he is going to earn.

But for a Ugas or Spence/Crawford fight, it will be a suicide for him to have his comeback fight. Those 3 boxers will be too big and powerful for Manny at this point.
1720  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price with a 4 year cycle? on: October 14, 2022, 07:02:15 PM

people always expect the price to be under $15k or hit the $10k floor, but why am I always saying that seems difficult to do considering the price will always be close to the $20k mark, look since yesterday's drop to the $18k floor in a short period of time bitcoin price it's back to near $20k today and it keeps repeating itself every time, whether people will just see it as a coincidence or it's a sign that the $20k price is among the cheapest and will never go below $15k, I hope people didn't miss an opportunity and have taken the opportunity to invest now before the market recovers and won't see below $20k again next year

Bitcoin price fell yesterday because the CPI did not meet expectations but then quickly increased again, like the market is killing long and short.
It can be seen that the 19k-20k resistance area is very difficult to break but this is still not enough to confirm your argument that bitcoin's 4-year cycle is gone. In November we will still face a Fed rate hike, I don't know if bitcoin will hold $19k as it is. When bitcoin crosses $30k and starts a new strong growth, you can confirm your thinking is right, currently although not falling further, bitcoin has also lost 70% of its value. And the market is still not getting better so nothing can be said here.
I'm not disliking the 4 year cycle belief, let alone going against it and arguing with anyone here, just sharing my thoughts that we no longer need to follow the old fashioned way and have to wait 4 years to get another ATH, so I'm just saying that anytime bitcoin can get ATH others without having to wait for the next 4 years around 2025 later, it could happen in 2024 or 2023 this is just speculation because the difference in the number of bitcoin users then and now is very much different, I also reiterate that the bitcoin price will likely continue to maintain at the price of $19k - $20k

However, there is the bitcoin block halving that happens every 4 years and so far this is the catalyst for the bull run. So if there is something that can push the price to an all time level again, it will be the halving in 2024.

I don't think that next year we will have a bull run or something, again, most likely after March or what ever the date of the halving, we will slowly see a increased in price and then it will be catapulted in 2025 massive run. And if that happens then bitcoin at 6 digit figure.
