I guess SMB will have to adjust their game, they can't just let Meralco takes over just like in game 6. Again, defense will be their key and I think they have the experience to do it, they just have to focus and concentrate on game 7. They can't let the Bolts snatch this series.

If the trend will continue, SMB is going to win in game 7. They wasted the opportunity to close the series in game 6, the big run of Meralco beat them, it cannot happen again in this do or die game for both teams.

That's where the excitement on PBA games is happening, who would expect that Meralco would win, they are a heavy underdog and yet they beat the SMB. I still like the chances of SMB in game 7, they are good in closing out games, but what I like more is the under as for sure it's gonna be a very defensive game.
1742  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 15, 2022, 11:13:14 AM
Seems like everything has been a bit calm later on the trading front. I think teams may be settling in with what they plan to enter training camp with. The season is just right around the corner so it seems like the Nets aren’t going to be making any deals that don’t interest them. We may see a KD and Kyrie team with Ben Simmons to start the year. Talk about awkward…

Honestly who knows.  There could easily be a situation in which they are working out a deal right now, and on the flipside it can be cold as ice.  I don't think the situation is or will be awkward at all, just normal nba business during the offseason honestly.  Ayers always say it...in the end its just a business.  So if they end up on the court together I expect them 3 to dominate a ton of games together.
I think this trio combo will end in a failure. But who knows? It's time for Kyrie Irving to be serious with the game, play harder and stop his unnecessary antics if he wants a good contract after this upcoming season. The same with Ben Simmons, this might be his last chance to prove that he is still a relevant talent in the league.

 

Depends on how they cooperate with each other since if they continue to act like a moron and want to do stat padding just to increase their stats then they might not go anywhere. But if this trio will adjust and adopt according to what role given to them for sure they can create good chemistry then might they go to play offs next season. The only problem with Nets is their own created drama if they just set aside their pride and play as a team for sure they can compete with those contender teams.

It's too early to judge, Simmons will be playing next season, so most likely the Nets roster will improve having a healthy Durant and Irving. Maybe thats the time the Nets will be able to successfully trade Durant and Irving especially if the Nets will become the number 1 team overall.

I have 20 million Shiba Inu that I bought a few months ago and forgot about , it is one of the smaller positions in my portfolio.

Just wondering why it is pumping and realistically what this can reach in 2 or 3 years?

Not sure if I should sell all and re invest in one of my larger positions or if I should just hold the 20 million I have and see what price it reaches in a few years?
You must be happy why it pumps and don't bother to find the reason for this is how the market works. But have to remember as well that these hypes can't be long and stay forever, sell them if you are already satisfied and never be greedy. As to tell you that Shiba Inu is a meme coin, as per to see how Dogecoin is performing, that can be possible with Shiba Inu. Thus, if you would like to invest in a project for the long term, this project is not really the best choice to be made.

That 1 year of accepting Bitcoins isn't a trial anymore but I know that you already know if this becomes profitable and it works well, or not. But I'm sure this is not the only option you have and you still consider fiat transactions as the main option that is why you were still able to continue your business.

But if we have thought deeply and analyzed the market trend since last year as the market is bullish, I'm just thinking that you OP had lost some money from this. Well, if you just hold them and wait for the next ATH, that is actually a big profit for you then.
1745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 14, 2022, 12:39:53 PM
So Bob Arum is being futuristic for Devin Haney and is expecting another easy win by the undisputed champion. Bob said that Haney will get a Lomachenko fight although the Ukrainian needs a tune-up fight first. Devin Haney will have a lot of options if he beats Kambosos again. Inside Top Rank, there's Vassily Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, maybe Josh Taylor too if he will stay at 140, and Jose Ramirez. Outside of Top Rank, there's Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia.

Yes, we all know that it should be Kambosos vs Loma initially, but because of the war in his native country, Loma wasn't able to do that. So it is just right that he will get a first chance against Haney after the Kambosos rematch to get that title back. For casual fans, might not be good and boring because of Haney's style, but that will be tested against the best tactician we have. So style makes fight here. It could be like Loma vs Rigo though  Grin
At least Haney does not run a lot like Rigo, LOL.. Anyway, we cannot change the style of Haney, he is very effective with his style that's why he will continue to stick with that, and as long as he fights popular boxers and beat them, he should get a big fight that will make him earn big payday.

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.

34-42 halftime score, it's indeed a low-scoring game and TNT seemed to be taking control. 3rd quarter is crucial for Magnolia as they need a good run in order to come back from this huge deficit, it's a do-or-die game, no more tomorrow for Magnolia so they should win again. By the way, the announcer said that Jalalon is not 100%, maybe that's the reason why he wasn't contributing with good numbers this game.
1747  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Day Trading be profitable in Crypto ? on: August 14, 2022, 11:55:01 AM
Daily trading must require concentration and a clear mind, of course you must also have the ability to analyze by scalping,
because otherwise traders will not be able to trade daily, and must go to futures trading if you want to trade daily,
because if you have it all, I'm sure $10 per day will also be achieved,
$10 per day is not bad, actually. But this is not gonna be enough nor to be contented for this. As traders, aiming high, becoming greedy wasn't impossible and this is the reason why we work hard, improve our knowledge and skill, and find effective strategies - it gonna be rewarded for sure.

From $10 daily profit to $30-$40 - that can be achieved. I guess no pressure on our ends Grin, but we need to focus on our traders and make it more strategical and to make it real.

Not that fast but as this current momentum will play long, this gonna be possible despite the bearish condition. I know it was a little bit surprising having this rally but fortunately, ETH and BTC had their pump and some of the altcoins. Likely those who have their ETH in their wallets seem happy with the trend. This is to give a sort of realization to those who rejected ETH while preferred to invest shitcoins, many people got paid off from their trust towards this project.

I'm riding that predictin, Meralco has been giving SMB a tough challenge so if they'll lose, most likely they will cover the spread.
Not sure what the spread is but I'm guessing it will be +5.5. (good one if you'll ask me).


Here are the spread and odds in stakes:

Magnolia +3.5 1.87
TNT -3.5 1.77

SMB -4.5 1.78
Meralco +4.5 1.85



I am surprised that the spread is so close. The last two games were not so close, I am expecting a larger lead. And the odds are quite low as well. I think it is safer to bet for SMB and TNT at this point since the odds are almost the same as well.


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.

Draymond Green doesn't have a lot of option and surely he doesn't have the power to demand the table and make the team offer him a max contract because he is not that kind of huge asset, he'll be lucky if the Warriors will still keep him despite his situation. He should know that he isn't like LBJ or CP3 who will be chased by any team because of the numbers they could bring in the team, Green is different because he is not a play maker.

Draymond Green obviously shouldn't be hoping that the Warriors or any other team will offer him a maximum contract. By the way, his current contract will expire after next season, and he will still have a player option for an extension until the end of the 23/24 season. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes this player option as it is unlikely that anyone will offer him a higher salary than $27,5 mln.

He's eligible for max contract and he's just trying to get what's best for his future because he is almost at the peak of his career. But actually in reality this one is little much not possible and maybe for this asking for getting huge contract mag cause for him to get departed on Warriors.

Hopefully he will not encounter the same faith with schroder which his career is questionable now in NBA.
Draymond is a huge asset to the warriors. His basketball IQ is off the charts. He plays excellent defense and really gets under opponents skin causing them to play bad. Warriors may not agree to a max contract but ill bet they offer him something he will accept. He's  too valuable to them.

It's undeniable that Draymond Green is really big asset to warriors because he help this team in many ways but the salary cap of warriors interfere this and for sure they cannot give what green ask because if they give what he ask to the team for sure the young core of GSW will get sacrifice also their future. So I think this is though decision to be made by them but I guess chances that they select their future is big rather than giving green what he ask.

They cannot give him a max salary but can give him a decent salary. Well, if Draymond Green feel like he is undervalued, he is free to sign with other team that could grant his wish, however, that doesn't guarantee that he will be as effective as he was with the Warriors.
1751  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Know the right crypto project to invest in on: August 12, 2022, 10:58:31 PM
Considering rate at which hundreds of cryptocurrencies are flooding the blockhain space it seems digital currency is taking over the fiat. But the question now is how does one get to know the right crypto project to invest in?
That was very unfortunate - too bad to say that it was too hard to tell as these new projects are mostly scams.
Even having a deep search, checking their roadmap, whitepaper, team, project development, and its transparency - it is no way we can tell that a particular project is legit, that project is good for investment. It is unsecured to invest in them that is why I suggest not putting our money there but instead choosing Bitcoin and some of these leading altcoins as we know that they are working already.
1752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I started business many days ago. Now it's time to accept Crypto as a payment. on: August 12, 2022, 10:24:22 PM
I'm very happy to see you accepting bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a payment method for your business, I'm sure you can have clients from all over the world and this can help the business because many countries cannot have normal credit cards and Paypal is not available there so they won't have any problem also implementing the cryptocurrencies payment method will not cost you a lot and will not require many paper works unlike the other payment methods but still you need to have enough knowledge about these payment gates to easily cashout the money when you need it.
The process involved is simple and it doesn't require any third party payment processor. The client pay and it directly reflects on your wallet. This will take your business forward, and you need to have good marketing along with the location people having awareness about cryptocurrencies. The biggest thing, government's stand on cryptocurrency usage. You need to go with the policy framed by the government, if not the same can bring problems.
That is the thing we are supposed to do, comply with all the necessary permits and we have to run our business legally. Thus, if Bitcoin is not banned in their country that is a great advantage for OP and I already see the success of doing this. Moreover, this is still a payment option but this also gives some insights to the public and to the government as well that there is someone who is willing to accept crypto despite its volatile nature. To prove that Bitcoin can be a form of payment, not just for investment.
1753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: August 12, 2022, 01:20:54 PM

I am hoping Teo will lose this fight. But any champions would love to fight either Teo or Garcia because of money. But for the meantime there is only 1 champion in the division, the former undisputed Josh Taylor is giving up his belts in favor of moving up to welterweight.

There's no way Teo would lose this fight, it's his comeback fight after a big lose, so he will never do the same mistake again, in fact, I'm seeing the opposite, Teo will win via KO and that would hype his new in this new division.

You can never guarantee a win, although Campa is a big underdog but he has the power to KO Lopez for sure. However, if his is indeed a cherry pick by his promoter, then we can say that the past wins of Campa has lack of quality compared to the past wins of Lopez.
1754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 12, 2022, 12:54:14 PM

And now he is thinking to go down in weight and chase more challenges and see if he can still fight the best of them.

Who's going down in weight? Donaire? I think that's a bad idea, I believe the best thing to do is to officially retire as he had proven himself already, but if he is still chasing the money, of course, he will use his popularity and will continue fighting.

No odds yet, but for sure Ancajas will be the underdog but a slight underdog only. If you believe that he will bounce back after a big loss, then I'm sure you would be happy seeing an odds high than +200 as definitely that's what you will be seeing as it will be available.

The first fight odds.  (result was a huge upset)

I agree with you mate, for sure Ancajas will be the slight underdog in this rematch and this may a good opportunity for all Ancajas' supporters to place their bets as he will be giving his all in this fight to take back the belt once he owned.

The fight will happen two months from now and per history, bookies will place the odds for the fight of this magnitude three to two days before it happens.

I should have some spare money dedicated for this fight, this is a big fight, a chance for Ancajas to be champion again and I know he feels the pressure since we are losing Filipino champions and if he cannot reclaim the belts he loses, that's not good for our country. I'm checking from time to time to my bookie hoping odds will be out early.

Bitcoin will fall at $1100? wow, that's a very unreasonable statement, I can guarantee Bitcoin will not go down to $1100,
Bitcoin is different from 10 years ago, haven't you seen the news about samsung, paypal, tesla and many other big companies holding bitcoin?,
yes that's why Bitcoin won't plunge to $1000.

That's actually possible. I don't mean to be biased here because I myself is a Bitcoin enthusiast, but realistically that's possible to happen. Though not in this current timeline, but somewhere in the future if people decides to leave Bitcoin. But right now and in the next coming years, that's most likely not going to happen.
Perhaps, we don't know which I agree this might happen, but that was the worse scenario ever and when people are hopeless about Bitcoin. But as to see that the interest of the crowd is growing, adoption is increasing, and more development, it was very unlikely to see Bitcoin will fall that bad.
Well, optimistic people will keep positive about the future of Bitcoin but those who live in doubt will remain doubtful forever.

Here is the full kick off press conference, you can see the Andy Ruiz has really trimmed down in weight, you can barely recognized him right now. Luis Ortiz though, his age is really showing, but I think he can still fight and he still one of the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division.

And I agree that Ortiz problem will be his stamina, and he knows it, but he has a good head movement and has a quick feet to step in and out. Also not just stamina, but the question on his chin, Ruiz is a big puncher and so once he landed one solid punch, his chin might not cope with the power.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTu7fndVXHU

Thanks bro, actually, this is the fight that Ruiz has to show up, it's going to be the start of his success as once he wins this, he will get a big fight for sure. I don't know what's gonna happen but I think the favorite will win here, I presume that Ruiz will be the favorite and he will beat the old underdog.

Do we have the betting odds of this fight already? Also, is it possible to watch it through live free streaming?
1759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 08, 2022, 10:45:20 AM
I agree, it was a bold prediction by one of the legends, Bernard Hopkins. Although Canelo is no longer with them (Golden Boy), he is still ion the bandwagon,  Grin. So we respect that.

But then again, boxers, boxing 'experts' and fans have its own speculation. Even in our community, and for us we wanted to see GGG winning the fight, it will be good if this is going to be by stoppage or knock out. But we wanted to see at the end, his hands being raised as the winner.
I respect Hopkins he has done a lot for boxing as a boxer and as a promoter, he could have made a prediction that Canelo will win against GGG by the decision but for Canelo knocking out GGG easily I just don't know where this coming from, that's to much confidence on Canelo and a big disrespect for GGG, he should back it up if he is confident on his prediction by daring anyone for 1 million bets, he might eat his own words I am on the community that GGG still has what it takes to beat him after GGG has never been dominantly beaten or even knocked out.
He might be thinking that GGG is already old and Canelo who came from a dissapointing lose will try to redeem himself. I know he will be wrong because GGG is not an easy opponent, although Canelo won the last fight but the last two fights was very controversial, which means no clear winner in the eyes of the fans.  

No disrespect to Hopkins and others like Roy Jones, however, let me pointed out Bernard predictions on Canelo vs Bivol,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjPMaiYHu9c

Quote
“He smashes him. Mashed potatoes all over the place. Another smash event, smashes him."

Fast forward to 0:24 and you will hear what his thoughts on the fight and according to him Canelo will "smashed" Bivol. But the complete opposite happens in the fight, and Canelo lost the fight. So he got completely wrong with his prediction, just saying.


Hopkins is like the Charles Barkley of the NBA who's prediction are completely wrong, LOL.. Although they are great boxers, but they can never guarantee who will win the fight since both boxers are capable to fight even if we have the favorite and the underdog.
1760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 08, 2022, 10:24:07 AM
This is what I like in Game 3 of the series between Magnolia and TNT. The game is unpredictable even though there are times that both teams have a nice lead. We can both teams give their best to catch up once behind and make the game close as possible.

I have noticed that both teams have their players not on their usual performance last night:

TNT = Mikey Williams
Magnolia = Paul Lee

But Mikey Williams still have the good numbers last night and he's not known for having 2 straight games at worst. Paul Lee on the other hand seems not on his usual playing level. He was even considered "dinadaga" in Pinoy terms on that Game 3 match where he is not supposed to feel that.

Mikey Williams still have good numbers and there's Castro to save his butt, it was a veteran shot that Castro took knowing that they don't have a timeout and the adrenaline rush is really needed, a winning shot that he always capable of doing nothing to say but he still the old Castro we know, tough heart with full responsibilities to whatever the risk that might happen after that shot.

Good thing that it favors them and a winning shot happens for them to lead the series again..

I'm liking the Magnolia despite the fact that they lose in this game, they were eager to win and they played great defense all throughout the game. Abueva also showed consistency, so game 4 for sure is going to be a close game and hopefully Magnolia will win to even the series.

Well, if you think they'll be able to win the series, first they have to even the series first, and that means they will have to win in game 4. There's no betting lines yet but I'm sure Magnolia will still remain as the underdog in game 4, so Moneyline odds is going to be attractive for sure.
