Game 3 will be the deciding game, if Memphis wins, then maybe we can say that Morant and Memphis will beat the Warriors. Honestly, though Memphis won, but I'm still not so much impress because at the end of the day, I see they are struggling winning on their home court.

Yes, both teams have made their adjustment, so it's the Warriors time to adjust in game 3.
We cannot make the last game result as a basis to presume that the winner will also win the next game. Look at the Bucks in game 1 against the Celtics as an example, they dominated the home team but in game 2 celtics bounced back and also dominated them.

^^ Yeah, it's hard to read the body language of a fighter if he is intimidated or not. But this is boxing, so for sure you have to think that you want to take the head of your opponent during stare downs,  Grin

But just like the rest who voted in this poll, Bivol is the underdog and it seems boxing fans are not giving him the chance to topple the king yet.

Does the face off matter whether who is intimidated?

I think so, a little. Final weigh-ins are normally done one day before the fight. So if you could effectively intimidate or even affect the mind of your opponent on that day, your opponent could not easily adjust anymore because it is going to be the fight day the next day. If you successfully get into the mind of your opponent at weigh-in, that might cause him a little trouble, perhaps in his sleep or whatever, that could affect him the following day.

I doubt that, they are professional and before they accept the fight, they know already what their opponent can do. The real battle is in the ring, and both boxers believe that they can win, but like any other competition, it's the better player that will win.

Too many trading indicators means a lot of lines in your screen, I guess it's fine if you're using PC but if you're on your smartphone, then I guess it's a no because for sure you'll be confused on what you're looking. A neat looking chart is the best to spot what you're looking for before entering and closing your trade, using many indicators are cool but I'm not really sure if you need multiple to make profits.
Will, it confused me, honestly.
Too many trading tools are found and yet they are useless in real life. We'd rather use a trading indicator that we know was very helpful and seems it accompanied us. But, I don't stop people from using multiple trading tools maybe it also works for them. Is this really a matter of how we choose things that we could benefit from. If we think 1 is not good enough, then we have to add more until we find satisfying results.

So many newbies are curious about when they will increase their rank in cryptocurrency operation.Many of them tend to get discouraged when the task is becoming too much for them in bounty hunting.Majority get excited about the profits they have seen others making in crypto but the sacrifice they are not ready to make. I want to encourage Newbies that someday it will happen  but you have got to sacrifice and stay focused. Please  encourage someone new to crypto.


Do you mean help and encourage newbies to increase their rank so they will get a chance to get higher rewards?
Well, the fact is that they have that chance but the question is are they really doing great and the purpose of coming here and joining the forum is to learn or just for the sake of earning money? Coz if they wanted to increase their ranks, they will help to improve themselves first as their main goal, not just to earn money.

These things are just about money. Although the culture there is also very different than in Western countries in Europe. There's too much money involved. The fact that you can also bet on it at online bookmakers indicates that there is a huge market for it. The only ones who can stop this kind of practice are the government, but as indicated above, the country loses income. The Philippines is not a rich country either.
yes they are not rich, and to sacrifice the amount of taxes they are making from online e-sabong, that only tells the business does not help the people in general, in fact, it only made their life miserable. Lotto is okay but online e-sabong is no, that's my personal stance on this matter.
1746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 05, 2022, 09:00:28 AM
It was almost two months hard earned money. Got busted in few minutes. I don't know why I wasn't able to have me within the limits. Just started with a $3 bet, but it went upto $98 and ended with empty wallet. This is completely unlucky, because every bets were placed to roll above 20 which means the winning probability is quite high. Anyhow I wasn't in control and I didn't follow the rule gamble what you can afford to loss. It was a money saved to repay a debt. Now once again the interest needs to be paid so to manage the debt for some more time. Unlucky me  Sad Sad Sad
Why not try stopping bet and I think every body will success stop with betting and I have try it, the same like you like betting with small fund from $3 until $20 each sport betting games. But after active on ever weekend football match I stop with betting and keep use my money for trading. Right now just enjoying with football match only without see and care with how bigger odds giving on ever week football match. I think you can stop from betting slowly although is not easy but if you have spent money for trading or investing is better thing than keep waste all your funds for betting.
Stopping is hard for gambler, maybe slowly minimize until the time will come that you'll be able to control yourself. I do gamble and made mistakes as well, but until now I'm still gambling and I never tend on stopping, however, the good news is that I'm able to control myself now, 100%.

Congrats on the Suns bettors.

That was great 4th quarter run, it only showed that Mavericks don't have a good defense and they are just a one-man team.
Luka was goating in the first half but got tired in the 2nd half, I smell a 4-0 here, just like what Suns did to the Nuggets last playoffs.

Anyway, I'm a bit sad because I bet on the under, I thought I will see better defense, but nah.

Miners will keep mining as long as the market exists.
The continuous increase in hash rates will tell how hard to mine this time it takes longer to complete the transaction, and it accumulates more fees. I would think this is because of the low market supply or tough competition. Together with the massive increase in crypto adoption, miners have been also growing fast.

I might be wrong but suspected having huge TRX fees in the future.
1749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 04, 2022, 01:55:42 PM
Are we going to see a 2-0 score in the series tomorrow?

Please react guys if you think Celtics has a chance to even the series, and how do you think they'll do it.
They have the same spread in game 1, IMO, still favorite and if they win I think they'll cover, but can they win? that's the question now.
I myself fall for the Celtics hype, Lol, but yeah Boston is still the favorite, but with the way Giannis handle all the defender, it will be a very difficult series now for the Celtics. And I think the goal of the Bucks is to steal at least one game at the at the TD Garden. They just didn't steal one game but completely destroyed the Celtics. So most probably we might see 2-0 tonight.

But they have a big lead against the Bucks now. Although Giannis is finding a way in the 3rd quarter, he was visibly frustrated in the first two quarters because of the superb defense the Celtics is now putting on him.

I doubt that we will see 2-0 tonight, most likely 1-1, but as you have said, they steal one game and be back at Fiserv. So it's time for the Celtics to bounce back at game 3 in the road.

The series is now officially 1-1.. Game 3 is going to be at the Bucks home court, so it's a good advantage for them. Let's see if they can handle the Celtics at their home court, I'm sure they can because they beat the Celtics in game 1, however, it's just a matter on how the Bucks will make the right adjustment after losing game 2.

This is a long series, I hope so, and if that would happen, every game is a chess match as the losing team will certainly make an adjustment. Celtics has responded already with the right adjustment, now let's see how the Bucks would adjust in game 3. Are they still going to implement playing their bigs, or will try to match the small ball of the Celtics?
1750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 04, 2022, 01:27:52 PM
Celtics and Grizzlies both did an impressive job by beating Bucks and Warriors last night. Both series are 1-1 now. And I'm really sad about not being able to watch the Grizzlies - Warriors match. I was able to watch the recap at least and I loved the competition level in that. Morant must have been the MVP of the game for sure. Such performance should be appreciated by everyone for sure. He is a very special and important player for Grizzlies now. And if they reach next stage, he will have a big contribution in that.

He already won the MIP (most improved player).... maybe there's also a chance to win an MVP. However, this is the playoffs, his regular season stats is not as impressive as what Luka, Jokic, Embiid, and Giannis have showed, so his best chance to win an MVP is to be in the NBA Finals.

1751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 03, 2022, 04:08:06 PM
Suns and Heat started their series really nicely last night. Suns beat Mavericks 121-114 and Heat beat Sixers 106-92. None of them had a big difficulty in beating their opponents in the first leg and this must be feeling great for them. Actually I can say that Suns - Mavericks was more challenging but Suns still managed to win by a good team play. For Mavericks, Doncic played incredibly awesome. He had 45 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. He was the usual Doncic but they still couldn't win. And the reason why Sixers struggled was Embiid's absence due to his injury of course.

I think it was not an easy match for the Suns and the Heat.

And the start of the 3rd quarter, the Sixers was in front by at least 5 points if I'm not mistaken. The Heat only dominated after that with Herro outside shooting and good defense.

While the Suns took a good lead and seems to be comfortable with a double digit lead, the Mavs suddenly went on a run and close the gap in the last minute of the game. Yes, Luka is big in this game but he has also committed a lot of turn over.

Luka's numbers still nothing if the team loses the game. It's tough to beat a well-organized squad who understands the system well.

Though it's only the first game and adjustments can be done, both Sixers and Mavs will try to find good answers to how their opponents play

the game. Home court advantage is also a plus here, players are being boosted with the loud cheers by the fans, maybe 2-0 and the losing team

will try to bounce once the game switch places.

Suns dominated the Mavs, though Mavs have a big run in the 4th quarter but it wasn't close enough to give them a chance to win, their chance is only to cover the handicap if you know what I'm saying.

It's just game 1 though, let's see if Mavs are more competitive in 2nd game.
They have to understand that Luka alone producing for the team is not gonna work.
Kidd should device a new game plan.

Anyways, still early for these things but it was quite entertaining to see that Bucks can still handle even though they are undermanned.

If Bucks would win game 2, they might be in the 2nd next to the Warriors. They are really a big threat because they have the heart of a champion, and imagine, Bucks will be playing the Warriors in the finals, how would it go? small ball versus the big line up of the Bucks.
1753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFTs aren't just there yet on: May 03, 2022, 12:04:33 PM
I just heard before that the APE is pumping and now they get hacked? I don't think NFT are reliable and way back before, I already have doubts about this and didn't proceed in jumping into the hypes until now but it seems that the investors are not concerned about what happened which I think they should be concerned as they are an investors and should be aware in this type of news.
No one in crypto guarantees 100% security and even known exchanges are targets for hackers. But I suspected that APE Yacht has been too careless or their security system isn't strong enough that can easily be cracked by hackers that cause big losses. This is what we called risk in depositing our funds to exchanger as they are the most target of these people.

However, this means that its losses its credibility unless lapses have been too bold to see. But to a matter that was only an accident, I don't think we have to lose our trust.

What will be the faith of bitcoin users if the value of bitcoin becomes stable in May 2022,
The situation seems the same, the rise and fall of the market remain is not unusual to see. And never I think this be changed in the future.
But I don't think the situation looks so worrying, having faith in Bitcoin helps to settle down our emotions and even think optimistic. And instead of thinking about when this bear season ends, we'd rather take this time as an opportunity to buy more coins. 

1755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New York passed a bill against Bitcoin mining on: May 02, 2022, 03:25:15 PM
If they would like to ban Bitcoin mining, they also have to ban Gold as well. But they don't as it was in their control.

They just point out the high energy consumption but I don't think it is really the reason behind this bill? It was found to be questionable and the judgments seem different but what I think is that they would like to control Bitcoin. In fact, we could notice that governments are supporting centralized exchanges compared to DEXes. This means they have the reason why they hate Bitcoin and would like to stop it.

1756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 02, 2022, 02:32:10 PM
Heat with a -7.5 point spread seems a little disrespectful to the 76ers. Granted they don’t have Embiid but they’re still a good team. It will be tough for them to get the win without their MVP candidate but I think they might be able to cover the spread. We’ll find out tomorrow as I don’t think their odds will get better as the series goes on. The Suns with a -5.5 point spread on the Mavericks is another tricky bet. I think I might have to sit out and see how game 1 goes before counting the Mavericks out.

I did take both of the spread though, I think if Embiid is not going to play (most likely), the Heat can take and win the game even with a double digit advantage.

I was able to go on live betting 2.07 (+1.5) for the Warriors, and it was a thriller, although Klay hit that three to give them a lead, he misses 2 free throws which could have given the win for those who take the -2.5 spread pre-game handicap.

Embiid was already announced not available in game 1, and against a complete roster of the Heat, I find the spread very attractive as a double-digit is possible. It's only tricky if we think that games might be rig and make the 76ers cover the spread since everyone is obviously putting their money on the Heat.

Dallas vs Suns. I'll bet on the road team. ( hopefully a close game) Smiley
1757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 02, 2022, 02:05:38 PM
Bucks is so unstoppable in 3 point area or we can say on overall aspects they really dominate Celtics this time so I guess this will be tough road for celtics knowing Bucks don't have middleton on the line up and how much more if he is there for sure this one will be a huge problem to them.
They have a low percentage in game 1, Jalen Brown which was a big contributor of the team was very much limited in game 1, that is because of the good defense by the Bucks.. Of course, the Bucks will continue the same strategy, Celtics just need to improve their outside shooting.
Yes. I never saw the Bucks played this hard against the Bulls series but now they shifted to a defensive team and it's way better. Boston Celtics will be in big trouble if they will not find any answer for their attacks.
Despite that, I saw players in their team stepping up their game. Horford specifically did a pretty well job managing Giannis to avoid scoring at the paint, but the reaction from his team mates should be fast whenever he will be forced to pass the ball. The three point line were left wide open because of the penetration. I say let Horford handle him one on one and if ever Giannis scores, just live with it and get it back on the offensive end.
They might double Giannis but Bucks have another 2 big men in the court who can find a mismatch. This kind of lineup is used by the Bucks against the Suns in the last NBA Finals if I am not mistaken, and they are now successfully using it on the Celtics. Looks like not having Middleton is quite a blessing is disguise for them to figure out how to dominate their opponents.
Giannis efficiency dropped actually but it makes his teammates better because he always do a kickout pass everytime the double is coming. They need to keep Giannis out in the paint, otherwise, it's an easy shot and worst if they will give him a foul counted shot.

Shiba is a token that costs under 1 cent so pump and dump is a very easy thing, this is the reason why we deserve to invest in cheap coins because of the large profit opportunity, Shiba has gone through difficult times and Shiba can stay at the top of the rankings , I believe dumping is a momentary thing that will soon pass.
Not a new thing in the market. Once Bitcoin drops, altcoins will then follow and this is what we saw, every project is in decline, and nothing is exempted.
This year could be another year of worries for newcomers. I hope the current situation will not cause panic selling and every investor will still be thinking positive and remain optimistic or else, the market will fall into another year of terrible drops like in the situation last 2018-2020. We wish not to happen, trust is indeed very needed this time.
1759  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How low can BTC go this time around on: April 29, 2022, 02:43:40 PM
It seems less likely that a rapid decline like we saw in November of 2020 could happen It's impossible to say for certain, but I think it is unlikely that BTC will drop significantly in the next bear market right now many are waiting for BTC at a price of $35,000 and then $30,000.

Going down to as low as $35k for me is possible. But if in case, it will go down to 30k, it means, something is going on with the market. But I have high hopes that it won't go down to $30k level. But no one can really tell the fate of btc market. If it will go down to that price, for those who are saying before that they are late in this market, then, maybe, it is your opportunity to buy btc at lower price. If you believe in btc, then you will surely collect some, because the increase is just around the corner.
As the volatility of the market remains, we could say that even reaching the deep at $20k is even possible. However, I'd never been that negative, yet I was still been optimistic about the situation, and it diverse the trend and goes back high again.
I could assume that everyone has been aware of the possible bearish situation and already prepared for the worse scenario. Indeed, we don't need to wait for Bitcoin to drop more as we even don't know, and taking it now seems to be the best time.
1760  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TA or FA which is a better choice for market speculation. on: April 29, 2022, 02:01:46 PM
A better trader is one who can combine both during analysis. But for long term trades the best analysis to rely more on is fundamental analysis. For day traders having a confluence between fundamental and technical analysis can decide which trading pattern to adopt depending on the structure of the market and the time frame you choose. I think both FA and TA goes hand in hand
Indeed, traders must have to use them if we pursue to reach our goal.
But based on my experience, it was been noticed that TA is somewhat very important. Well, having them both gives us the advantage but never we could just think that it all be fine. What just these things help is to have good market judgments but apart aside that, using the other trading tools will somehow give a boost chance.
