How about Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics later. This series is kinda unpredictable and I could not tell if the Heat do have the upper hand at their home. Boston stole one from them and it could happen again.
I may just watch the game and forget about betting.

It's pretty hard to predict who will win Game 5, even though the bookmakers think the Celtics are the favorites tonight. In addition, there is already an injury update, and the Celtics said that Smart and Williams will play, while the Heat said that Herro is out tonight. However, I think the Heat will have a chance to beat the Celtics if they can defend as they did in Game 3.

I think the bookies is right this time, game 5 was won by the Celtics.

Both Robert Williams and Marcus Smart played although limited minutes, but they have contributed big with their defense.

Unfortunately the Heat, don't have the players to score in this game, Bam did his share, but maybe Butler is still nursing that injury and not 100%.

Butler has been clearly bothered by his injury, he was all buckets all series from this playoffs then suddenly became a hot trash from the last 2 games after his injury. He went 7/37 fg from game 4 and 5. Kyle Lowry was a hot trash too. With them being inconsistent, we really can't expect them to win against the Celtics who's been playing great with all their heart to reach the Finals. Celtics are on a mission this playoffs, If the Heat won't find a way to fix their system offensively, game 6 might be their last game for the playoffs.

They cannot easily correct their mistake, this game was already taken by the Celtics because they have lots of players that could step up. Horford is really huge for the team, he was helping on the defense and offense so Tatum and Brown are not forced to make the shots. Marcus Smart has a little contribution only, but having him playing with the team is his biggest contribution due to the energy he could bring.

^^ I don't think we can compare the Suns and the Warriors though, just saying. But I will have to agree that it won't be beneficial for them if they lose the next game. So this game is very important, they need to bring their A-game in both ends otherwise it will be a sweep by the Warriors or 4-1 and then obviously the end of their season. Kevon Looney is the hero for the Warriors last game, maybe we will see another Warrior stepping up if they are going to win huge at Dallas.
This now or never for Dallas since if they lose, Warriors will have more confidence to end the season and claim tha trophy. I think they should have more sense of urgency here and have a better game plays for them to take care of the lead, Dallas can really compete with Warriors they just need to be consistent and execute their game plan, this is not yet over for them but they should take this game.
Those leads on the first half was a great one, its just that the experience of warriors players came out and help the team take the lead back and win the game. Their next game will be more exciting since they are playing at the Dallas home court and this could be the best chance for Dallas to take a win and chase warriors to tied the series. This is far from over, Dallas is able to came back against the Suns and maybe they can do it again.

Fortunately, Dallas wins in Game 4 and you are correct, it's their best chance and that's what they did. Took a big lead, and then they try to hold Warriors to win that game.

However,' that's only one game and not Game 5 shifts to Chase center wherein GSW is very hard to beat. So this might be the final game for Dallas as the Steph Curry doesn't want to go back in Game 6 at American Airline as the crowd for sure are going to be hostile.

Game 5 is going to be exciting to watch for the Warriors, not sure if everyone is betting on the Warriors, but I would not hesitate putting my bet on the Warriors knowing they are extremely good at home, and this is a revenge of their game 4 lose to the Mavs.

The man is basing his comments with the way Bitcoin is in right now and yes we have to admit that as far as payments can be concerned Bitcoin is not what it is supposed to be and that is why many are questioning its viability on this aspect. Now, when we talk about payments maybe he can be referring to everyday small transactions because for big transactions like buying a car, a house or anything luxurious I think BTC has no problem in there. In case the challenges will never be addressed fully, then maybe we should be looking at Bitcoin really like a gold...and there is nothing wrong with that per se while still waiting for the appropriate infrastructure that can make BTC as good player in the payment industry.
Assumptions can be sometimes great and positive but most of the time it was wrong and turn into FUD. He can be wrong or not, that was his prediction and market view based on what he observed in the past until today. Well, for us who are too optimistic about Bitcoin will certainly oppose his idea but yes, he got some point that the volatility of Bitcoins makes it hard to know where it will be going. In fact, some big and growing countries still declining crypto. This could be a factor that makes him think about it.
1704  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should I buy BTC or DCA other coins? on: May 25, 2022, 10:06:41 PM
Since prices are down, I am going to spend some money for shopping. Not a lot, just what I can spend.
Now the question is, should I buy BTC (currently I don't have any BTC) or should I do DCA for ETH, SOL or DOT?
Now the reason I am asking this question is I have some of ETH, SOL and DOT, and I still consider that my ETH and DOT average prices are little bit higher, so DCAing would be nice option. But then, given that the I am little concerned what might happen to SOL and DOT in this phase of the market. Anyway, thanks. 
- You can do DCA as long as you are not on the losing side but I suggest just keeping ETH on your wallet. SOL/DOT to BTC
 - Or, just buy Bitcoin while the price is cheap and might consider buying some of Bitcoin for additional investment.

Well, nobody will forbid you from spending it as somehow just really it means to be considering that Bitcoin is also a form of currency.

In regards to SOL and DOT, we can expect a deep crash among altcoins and they don't have such escape about it. You can make a good trade if you just hold them.
1705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 25, 2022, 12:26:36 PM
But I believe that Donaire would correct those same mistakes he committed during their first encounter. Anyway, Donaire has spoken and these is his words:

Quote
“If Naoya thinks I'm still the same as in our first encounter, that’s wrong. I’m quite different as I can punch him from any angle in any position now. My skills and motivation have improved a lot. You’ll see.” Donaire told Fightnews.
https://sports.inquirer.net/464196/donaire-says-hes-improved-a-lot-heading-into-inoue-rematch
This shows that now Donaire is serious and considers this match not as easy as previously imagined.
This is clearly a real threat to Inoue because regardless of what Donaire indirectly emphasizes here that he is ready for this and this makes it seem as if a real threat to Inoue to be more leverage if you want the fight to be more exciting.
I like the statement of Donaire, looks like he is really serious with his goal of becoming the undisputed champion in the bantamweight divison, if he will win in this bout, he will be a unified champion and for sure will soon be an undisputed as only Inoue is the toughest opponent in this division.
1706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 25, 2022, 11:13:17 AM

For now, Golden State Warriors is the only team that is close to the championship.

Eastern Conferece Finals is tight and we don't know who will win there even by speculations and predictions.

And one notable thing, teams playing in the ECG right now are dealing with lots of injuries. Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, are playing healthy and it's not just the Splash Brothers that carry the team but there are role players who are stepping up for them. Regardless of who will be in the ECF, the Warriors do have a very big advantage.

Warriors also have suffered injury problems but not on their star players and they have lots of replacements that are ready to step up.
They don't have GPII anymore, and Otto Porter Jr. is also injured, but he will be back soon.

Their chance is good actually, the reason why they are the heavy favorites to win.

Gary Payton II's presence could bring a big help on the defensive strategy but now he's injured and cannot help the team, but his absence along with Otto Porter Jr. doesn't make the Warriors in the disadvantage side as they are still hard to beat and capable to dominate any team especially in their home and that's make them the heaviest favorite to win this season.


With how Wiggin stepping up for the Warriors, he's adding the pressure to any opponent that they will be facing, we see him doing good adjustment both with his offense and defense, With him and Green plus the splash bro and Poole the solid big 5 can beat any team inside this league. Though the series against the Mavs is still ongoing but the advantage is still with the Warriors,

they can close the series at home unless Mavs already finds the right adjustment to counter every attack of the Warriors.

Still, the Warriors have that good advantage to advance to the finals..

I'm not surprised that Warriors lose in game 4, at least the Mavs won one game because I'm pretty sure that the series will end in game 5. In game 5, I expect the Warriors to start strong and finish with a double digit win, so the odds now are very attractive, I'm taking the -7.5 as I believe it will be 10+ win by the Warriors.

invest properly don't because bitcoin is having a discount you are playing crazy, remember the terra problem is still warm so think one day btc will also be like that, it's true if you look at the price of btc in 2021 it can give you wealth but times will not repeat the same if bitcoin is always hit by bad news
Don't compare Bitcoin to Luna as it was here several years and was also noted for its credibility and it sustains despite many market downfalls that come. But Luna is a scam coin, while Bitcoin does not exist to have that kind of purpose. So I ask and encourage people to buy Bitcoin and stop worrying about the failure of other projects as it was another story.

Well, FUDs aren't new and people are already immuned hearing to such things. May these newbies got affected but these old-timers will simply just ignore them.

I just don't understand that despite they are one of the priority projects of Kommunitas launchpad (based on strict criteria), why they still have initiated to pull this one off?

It is a well-planned trick. They just want to pretend that they are legit and trusted platforms in order to gain trust from the community and fall into their trap. It was found to be unusual before but for now, it was a common tactic that these scammers do.
Well, it is sad to say that many projects turn to scams whether unintentional or intentional during the bear season that is why we need to be wise when investing this time. Only invest the trusted and known coins, not new projects.

When we want to do KYC, we must make sure that the site can take care of the personal identity of their members in a safe place and not abuse the identity because right now, we do not know if they have already become a target or still safe from the hacker.
The cryptocurrency market, if anything, can be noticed, but what is seen here is that there are many more that are used, but these are basically KYC is done mainly for the sake of security of the account, but if you come here and keep it, you will see that there will be no problem in your account, especially many types. There are exchangers that will be there. If they are used then there will be no risk. Transactions can be done very easily from here and all kinds of facilities can be found here.
The fact that they ask for KYC, means they are regulated, so simple common sense here, are the site willing to take the risk of violating the rules of not preserving our information if they will be charged by the regulators? I think no one would destroy their own business by doing the same, and this Bitsler has worked their way to be this popular now, so they will take care of their reputation.

Congratulations @YuginKadoya. You got the right pick, everything was easy on the game if you are betting on the Celtics to win, they have dominated the game and they covered the spread easily. Looks like Butler and Bam do not want to play, they struggle big time as they didn't score based on their usual numbers.

In this game, the two superstars only scored.

Butler - 6 points
Bam - 9 points.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 24, 2022, 12:59:55 PM
Well the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics series certainly just got very interesting. I was shocked to see how poorly the Heat starters played. Also have to wonder if Jimmy Butler will play fully healthy at all during the rest of this playoffs. I have to think he wasn’t feeling at his best last night.  Just insane him, Lowry and two other starters all being held under 10 points.
That was a big bounce back by the Celtics, they clearly dominated the game from the start until the end. Actually, Heat only during the garbage time but it's not vital anymore as it's very clear that Celtics already took the win, so the series now is 2-2, good luck to the next 3 games.
1712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you buying the dip? on: May 23, 2022, 11:05:25 PM
Everyone wants to buy at the bottom. Nobody wants otherwise. But in the cryptocurrency market, there must be a long bear market to buy coins from the bottom. It's really a wait that takes patience. Smiley That's why I see the days of big market crashes as a better opportunity. On such days, I buy valuable assets such as Bitcoin & Ethereum and sell them at the first positive reaction. I try to buy when everyone is selling, and to sell when everyone is buying. I'm not 100% successful, but my tactic mostly works.
Many are happy with the current situation, many are waiting this time for a very long time. Buy the dip, buy the dip...but as the moment has come, many dare to refuse, they instead wait for the price to reach the bottom that somehow we don't know if that really comes. And this is the reason why many still blame themselves for missing the opportunity.

Well, the reality is that only a few people take the risk buying this time than those who are waiting for the price to start to recover. But the good thing is that we've never heard of panic selling which is relatively helping a lot for the price not to drop more.

1713  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Some Errors We Make In Trading Crypto on: May 23, 2022, 10:41:38 PM

But most traders won't use that strategy because they thought they know the market well.
Who would have thought that LUNA will crash this badly?
Aside from few Youtubers who predicted about this Luna catastrophe, a lot of holders were actually hoping to gain from this investment.
But I do agree with the use of stop-loss strategy, it may be your savior in some of your trades.

Perhaps, this strategy works so well and has been used by most traders. The market crash seems unpredictable, but the use of the stop-loss strategy has big helped to protect our funds. Understanding the current situation, I'd found this is really needed for us traders. We can really appreciate how this works if we try which I think that many just neglected.

However, this is not just the reason why we often suffer losses it is also how we make decisions. Buy low and sell high still the strategy to follow but somehow, it turns opposite we buy high and sell low.

Even if it's about money, Canelo fighting in a professional match against a real boxer compared to fighting with McGregor will give him more money. Maybe McGregor against Pacquiao is more possible to happen.

I like to see that fight, I think Pacquiao now has a lot of time on boxing because the election is already over and he lost. Time to get some money and since he is already retired, he can do an exhibition match against McGregor, and hopefully this time we will see McGregor getting KO.
1715  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don’t rush to buy Bitcoin on: May 23, 2022, 11:18:05 AM


Let us not check News now and then because this will add pressure to our mindset and may distract our target for our investments .

So Best to try changing our thing and believe that Bitcoin will still increase even that LUNA is in that deep problem nowadays.

but of course always consider buying more while the price is discounted.

Bitcoin will still increase, that's given already, however, we can never ascertain when it will happen. If we are buying now, good decision because we are seeing a dip, however, it's still okay if you will wait for a bit because bearish might continue and bitcoin might continue to drop.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 20, 2022, 08:40:25 PM

The next 2 games will be held on Celtics ground with their advantage on it, let's see if the Heat can also steal 1 game.

If the Heat will win one game, it cannot be in game 3 because they have to make the right adjustment first playing on the road. With that said, I think I'll bet on the Celtics to win game 3, and the current spread tells me that Celtics is going to win by a huge margin again.

By the way, Celtics is -6.5 in game 3, compared to the -2 or -3.5 of Heat in game 1 and 2 respectively.
You can tell the difference judging by the lines offered alone.
1717  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bearish market continues? on: May 20, 2022, 08:23:40 PM
The bearish market has been going on for a long time and everyone is used to the current market conditions and some people are trapped in panic selling when the market is bearish so that the bear market continues to occur at this time. whereas yesterday the market had a bullrun that broke through the $45k price but nothing could stop it so the market went down again.

Nothing can stop the market but we can only keep it for ourselves when it's a good time to go up, we just let it go and when it goes down like this.
Even though others have panicked, but until now I can still be patient to defend mine.

Patience is the key for people not to panic and sell at a loss, however, if you want to profit, then make sure you buy when the price dip as eventually it will recover and that would give you an opportunity to enjoy a short term profit. This kind of bearish market is not new to us, it happened many times in the past, and we have the trend since bearish market comes after the bull market.
1718  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you going to keep some Terra Luna coins to keep as a keepsake? on: May 20, 2022, 02:59:58 PM
Many coins have reached the market and has turned valueless, further got delisted from the exchanges. What has happened with Terra Luna is no different, only thing that makes the difference is the popularity and being on the top order as a much trusted asset with good growth. Terra Luna is highly progressing and in between the wrong mechanism used has made the entire network collapse. Even now there is hope and more South Korean people are into accumulating more Terra Luna.
It's actually unexpected, nobody is able to think this will end like that, with an abrupt decline together with the bear trend?
People had to love Luna and put this on their list, this project even see will last longer than ETH and BNB. As it was been listed on the top exchanges like Binance, of course, we can draw into conclusion that this was a great investment but too unfortunate how this end badly. I'm saying it END because I'd never see the light upon this project.
1719  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 40 high schools in Argentina to launch bitcoin in their curriculum. on: May 20, 2022, 02:15:49 PM
To be honest I'd rather prefer if schools had a subject of investing and finance by default, rather than Bitcoin specifically. Explain to the students how to save money and what investment instruments are available, then just let them decide themselves what they should invest in and what the allocations are.
They miss that thing as these teachers and professors wanted to make their students just work after graduation. 
 
They just teach us how to account for expenses and incoming money but do not teach us how to invest and where we put our money if we already have it. In fact, I'd learn how to invest outside school, from friends, and from social media.
May having Bitcoin in the school curriculum is a good idea to spread awareness but also it is a need to include the discussion about blockchain technology.
1720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 20, 2022, 12:59:58 PM
~snip~

I still believe that Donaire can still defeat Inoue with a right pace and timing.

Same here, if Donaire could time perfectly that counter left hook flush on Inoue's chin, there's a chance that the former will knockout Inoue. Backing Donaire in this fight but I'm not expecting so much as Inoue will also be preparing hard on this fight because he already knows the capability of his opponent as he already tasted that left hook that almost sent him down so expect him to be avoiding those as long as possible.

For sure Inoue and his camp will be preparing for that left hook that almost send him down, Donaire can imitate that same style and if luck permits and opportunities open up for him, Donaire will not waste his time and will try all the best that he got to bring the monster down.

Sparing spare money to back Donaire is a good idea while watching the fight. It will add more excitement during the fight.

Bet the amount that you can afford to lose, right?

Don't worry about a small bet because with the big odds of Donaire, it will give you a good return. I'm also doing the same to support our Filipino boxer, and though many people believe that Donaire is already old, I still believe he has the power to go toe to toe with Inoue and could possibly KO him as he did in his pas opponents.
