Interesting disclosure about Zion Williamson’s contract with the Pelicans. He’s financially incentivized to keep his weight down or else the amount of guaranteed money in his contract is reduced. I’m order to get the full amount, Zion needs to keep his weight + his body fat % below 295. I imagine that means he needs to stay under 280lbs. While that may seem easy, there were speculations that his weight had ballooned to over 325 while he was injured last year.
Interesting solution, I think it will benefit both parties. I hope it will be a good motivation for Zion as I would like to see this player in top form. By the way, it turns out that the "guaranteed money" does not have to be guaranteed  This is good help by Pelicans to Zion because they give him a motivation to work hard for betterment of his career since if he would not care and let his weight burst then this could ruin his career since he might became injury prone. Let see how could Zion take this because for sure he will became a monster on court if he will became more lighter. He is already a monster on the court, so there's no expectation that he will become better, the only reason why he has to reduce weight is to prevent him from being a injury-prone player. Well, hopefully he will be healthy most of the time as no doubt Zion has a very bright future and he can certainly help the Pelicans to grow from a young team to a good playoff contender team. |

Bob Arum has been talking publicly about lowering pay-per-view prices. Last week, he suggested lowering it to $20 to $25 dollars. With that very low price, I don't think people will look for illegal streams anymore. Even myself, I would rather pay that amount of money for a Crawford-Spence fight. But I will stream illegally or not waste my time at all on cherry-pick PPV fights like what Tank Davis has been doing unless I can see very good matchups in the undercards that are also rare these days. Ryan Garcia for example should be a fight night fighter or in the under-cards of championship fights.
I'll be honest that the last fight that I watch is the Manny-Floyd fight. And that's it for me, all the fights that I bet and watch are from all youtube streamers. Sometimes they will ask for a simple donation that you can do to keep it going. But if you are unlucky, maybe just a couple of rounds and that's it, the live stream is cut and you have to look for another. It's better that spending a lot of money as you have said to cherry pick fights. But still, that is huge amount of money already in my country if I will have to pay $80 to watch the fight live. I think it will be easy for youtube to terminate the illegal stream, and personally, I have no luck finding a youtube stream of a certain PPV fight, most of the fights I saw are from the Facebook stream which is not in HD, however, who am I to complain, it's free so it's okay. |

If you're investing in gold for a return you're not investing right, so it's fair for Norway not to keep gold within its reserves. Gold is an alternative investment someone might diversify into in order to protect their wealth from inflation. You shouldn't reasonably expect a large profit, if any. Gold is literally good for long-term investment as the price keeps on growing but if we think about earning a profit in the short-term, we can't expect much for it as it only has a small increment. But if we talk about Bitcoin, the volatility of its price gives a reason why many people are preferred to take risks because they know that can earn and multiply their money. However, Gold assured safety while Bitcoin is prone to hacking which is only ideal for risk takers and techy individuals. |

I believe that some people are experts on something but if we talk about crypto, and market speculations - all of them got to fail to point out what gonna happen. Do we believe this OP? I guess, not. We know that Bitcoin is unpredictable and nothing we can do with that even though we have all data from the current situation as this is not enough to tell what gonna happen next. I won't say it was wrong doing this but if we are going to speculate much better if it was somewhat achievable and very close to reality.

Hotshots could end NLEX but I'm not sure if Meralco will beat the Ginebra, for sure Ginebra will try to even the series, it won't be an easy game by the Meralco.
Hotshots is the hottest team now, they are in a winning streak, so I don't think with the NLEX lack of defense they can beat the Hotshots tomorrow. NLEX has a bad matchup here, if only they played the TNT, they would have a good chance but against Magnolia, I think they can't win. Barroca playing like a young player, he lead the Magnolia on the first game with 24 points, if he can score like that, it only tells that the team are playing very well and I don't think that it will happen every night will Barroca will be the top scorer since anyone can have a big night. Magnolia has outrebounded NLEX in the firs game, 36 againts 53, huge different. Another blowout win by Magnolia, that's my expectation.
Let's see, NLEX is on a do or die game, they should play better. |

But for me, since they are currently the no. 1 and 2 at the Welterweight division right now, I'm expecting that they won't just play defense all throughout and care for the points per round. I want to see them challenging each other in close combat while saying "I'm the strongest!".If I were Spence or Crawford I would be more cautious and tighten up my defensive stance knowing that I am fighting an elite fighter that would send me to sleep anytime he caught me off guard. I am also one of the many people who's looking forward for this match as an all out war. A toe to toe fight between these two would be epic. However, just like I said, both of them might be cautious as they knew what each of them are capable of. Both though is an elite level fighter, so really hard to see how the fight is going to play out. Based on their last fights, this two make some adjustments and for sure this will go this way, like a chess. And who makes the first mistakes could taste the canvass for the very first time. And I don't think they will be cautious, it's going to be an all out war, I reckon. And the winner will be the best pound for pound, regardless of the outcome of the Canelo vs GGG fight. I hope to see that war so the fight will not be boring. They should not play safe, they have to give everything they have and try to win via KO. Both are KO artist, so we will possibly see a KO outcome, but not sure who will be the winner. With the odds I saw, one fighter is only a slight favorite, so that tells the fans sees it as a 50/50 fight. |

Even to say that the market is unpredictable but it was obvious that it won't reach $100k this year. I really don't expect such highs, not during this bear season as this surely this year remains in that condition and might be extended next year. That $100k is possible, but of course, that only happens when Bullrun comes and it was expected to see huge rallies during halving 2-3 years from now. But for now, it was just a dream that is clearly impossible no matter what we do.

It can't be denied that even in Google's search, you can find a lot of misinformation that possibly be used in some public and social media discussions. I'd just believe that the spread of this wrong information have a huge impact on the crowd and ended up with a mixed conclusion and market views. Either way, it is positive or negative, without knowing the right one and knowledge about crypto, and upon listening to someone who talks about Bitcoin whatever it is makes you think he/she is right (but they are wrong on real).

What do you guys think is the best crypto signals group on Telegram?
Never get fooled with your imaginations that a telegram or one from these crypto signals is reliable, you'd perhaps be a target now by scammers. I suggest you do not trust any of them, don't make yourself believe any of these crypto signals but rather help yourself to understand trading by your own and developer strategies as to whether you like it or not, nothing can help but just yourselves. If you are aware of the telegram scam, you certainly are thinking of not joining them. |

So what are your opinions on metaverse and how are you guys preparing for it? is it by participating in some of the highly advanced metaverse new projects launching in the space or accumulating some of the top existing ones?
I'd just believe this will create hype and many people will then take advantage of it in the short term. Though I'm not going to say I neglected these metaverses, I need to be careful with these new projects. Putting some money is a good idea but having a plan to hold them is highly not recommended for this kind. Honestly, I'd just noticed that metaverses are meant for the short-term and that was really profiting during the hypes but if we miss them selling at high, terrible losses await you then. |

This job is only for professionals, it will only make our job complicated, so if you are an ordinary gambler, all you have to do is to enjoy betting on a team that you think will win. What OP is saying is like a gambler becoming a trader, I don't do that though I'm aware of what OP is talking about.

The latest Woj bomb is that Boston is back in the Durant sweepstakes. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1551454984314753024?s=21&t=w1qEPWBdZ9JMV3B1ji-y5gI don’t think it would be a good idea for Boston to get Durant but it seems like they’re always on the list of places Durant wants to play. I’m starting to think the Nets are the most likely team for Durant next season. I would like to see how a Durant and Kyrie trade would play out though. And break the chemistry? Ouch! They just got to the Finals, that should at least mean something to the Celtics management. Jaylen Brown will be part of the trade, that's for sure and that also maybe the best offer the Nets could get if ever they want Durant out just to end this long drama. JB and JT may not like what will happen but the fans may want to see this. KD in green. Somehow it made me reminisce the KG era. Not a good idea to get Durant while sacrificing the roles players, I hope they will not be greedy, they just go with the process, getting in the NBA finals is already a big success, who knows next time they will be the NBA champion. Celtics has to focus on improving their team not getting an old superstar that could already be prone to injury. |

I think Ginebra vs Meralco will be the toughest series at all games that are currently playing in the quarterfinals. These teams are forming a new rivalry and are unfortunate to see that they meet right away in the quarterfinals. Should be great if they meet at semis but no way it will happen now.
This should be a great match up and probably an opportunity for Meralco to beat Ginebra but of course this will not an easy game for them as we all know, Ginebra is still a good team and they always like a contender for the title here. Meralco should think for a better strategy, and focus more because this will be one of their hardest games in order for them to reach the top. This is a good rivalry, and the fans really like this one. Right, so far though Ginebra still has a good chance to avert an elimination next game. Of course, this has been rivalry already and definitely wanting to get this series even in the next game. And as what LA said, (who unfortunately, goes scoreless), it was mainly their defense. So I'm expecting that they are going to be more physical in the next game. They will have a good rest before game 2 and make the adjustment. They are healthy, there's no reason for them not to win a game unless they were scouted well by the Meralco and have found their weakness. Ginebra is still a good team even in the All Filipino cup, having Japeth and Stand, I think they can dominate the paint. I guess I will go under here, it should be an easy bet. |

My interest in Bitcoin just started six years ago and for me, it was really a good start since during that time bounties and airdrop are really profitable. That time gives me some light that Bitcoin isn't just making the market getting known to the community but also altcoins. And because of having a good experience, I'd just tell my colleagues to also join me and be a part of crypto, I encourage them actually but guess what, only a few of them believe me while the majority of them think this was a scam investment.
I fail to educate them but Bitcoin never fails me.

It was similar to thinking what if all Bitcoin will be mined, are we gonna stop?
Perhaps we can draw some assumptions but guess what OP, there is still a brighter future awaiting us in crypto as I believe that Bitcoin and its usable features remain.
Though we can't tell how much it is valued 10 years or 20 years from now, I'm gonna think that it was still a profitable investment here in crypto market.

If There are No Casino Signature campaigns Anymore Will The Gambling Board Still Be The Same will we have the same stats as we are seeing right now
No, the signature campaign is what makes the forum more active, it's the signature campaign that helps to increase its users to million, so that is really effective. Casino owners could just rent for banners but they choose a different way which is signature campaign, probably because it's more effective way of marketing. |

I'll just go with the higher reward  and it isn't bad as a bet since Campa has a good record even though someone is saying he only fights B-grade boxers but an upset win is real . I think this odds will readjust so better put a bet while it is up. Same here, high reward that could go up to 10+ boosting your odds, I think Campa could pull an upset. Lopez coming from a loss, maybe that would still affect him in this fight and he might struggle again. Watching his fight highlights ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYpUKfIY0hA), this guy could really box and he is very aggressive. |

^^ I guess it's just a question of Booker's mentality though, I rated him above Tatum couple of years ago, but right now, it seems that Tatum is more clutch than him specially with the way their series with Dallas turns out.
So let's see if he can go back next season with a lot of pride and prove something in return. He is still in his prime, can average 25 ppg++ and be on the top of the scoring list. He just need to be consistent and have that Black Mamba mentality.
He is not a superstar like Kobe and Lebron that can consistently make buckets even if the defense is focused on them, Booker is more of a shooter, if he gets hot that's where he keeps going, but if he gets pressure, he won't be so effective especially if he cannot get the help he wants from his teammates. if you ask me, it was CP3 that are less consistent during the Dallas series and Booker was also affected by that. |

If you ever have done these things,
* research
* market analysis
* gathering investment ideas
* mentorship ( not in social media)
I guess, you are already doing great and you know what project is good to invest in. You will just see the positive output of your hard work in the future.
Buy Bitcoin or potential altcoins, Hold, and sell high - that is pretty easy, right?

Teamwork is a must in the world of basketball and Magnolia have that and they used that as a weapon to claim the victory. We all know that Paul lee is very dangerous in terms of shooting outside and in paint area so the team find him. But Magnolia use that as a advantage they work as one every player contributed well scored well and in terms of defense they got gallon as a defender on the outside.
They had already formed a bond that would make them a very defensive team. look at the total score in their game today, they only limited the Blackwater to 66 points in the whole quarter, so you can really tell how effective their defense is, and they are not easily getting tired due to everyone being given minutes to play. Magnolia has a very good line up now if their players don't have latest injury then it's good for them. That's the advantage of a team if many players will be given time to play and their star players did not feel tired because their backups or let's say support will give their best also and have a good points and a good defense unlike another team that only their star players can make some points and that's the reason why they have a small percent of winning every game. That's why I'm backing them to win in this conference, though all Filipino cup are usually dominated by SMB and Fajardo is obviously back, but I like the teamwork of Magnolia. Abueva was added and some role players, so they are getting better and better. They are not the favorite to win the champion, it's only between SMB and BGSM, so you'll get more winnings by betting on Magnolia in every series. I wish we have a series betting here, it was proposed before but it never happened. |
