Confidence must be based on research and maybe you have done that when you are really sure because for me personally I will never know for sure where or whether it will go up or down to a certain price now. Everyone's predictions are different and I'm not going to do all kinds of speculation with the research I'm doing because I did that last December and I was wrong there. I'll just wait patiently and add to my portfolio little by little so that when it's over I won't regret too much by just continuing to wait.  I think when looking for the pipe dream trade and gaining 1000x, research won't make really make that huge of a difference. We're just trying to get lucky and what are the coins to get very lucky in..? Getting in early in memecoins with dog logos. Lolol. That's a tried and tested way in cryptocurrency investing.  So anyway if you guys got any more to add to the criteria, just drop them here in the thread and let's discuss them. So far we have 'it must not be listed in major exchanges yet, 'it must have a dog logo', 'it must be a micro cap coin' and 'it must be a new coin'. |

Yeah I thought the same with the 0 - 2 but no... Lol. Looks like Morocco held and on they go to the quarter finals. I didn't watch the match but I could imagine Spain being a bit stale with the tiki taka style of play. There are days when everything works and they look brilliant and there are days when the opposing squad's defense is so solid that their attacking would look non threatening, just passing the ball around without any direct attacking threat. Dunno...
For those who watched the match, how did it look for Spain? Stale or did Morocco luck out?
Spain played a shitty game. Possessing the ball and not taking risks in attack is stupid. It's worse than putting the bus in because the defending team's motives are clear. But the motives of an attacking team that has "reliable" possession of the ball and does not risk losing it by going to the dribble or to the struggle are unclear. Spain with its style of play is outdated for a long time, it just worked before, now it doesn't. And to be honest, even when it worked it was a sad sight - all those games were 1-0, if you remember the golden years of Spain. This is not football, but the torment of oneself, the opponent and the spectators. Ah yeah... Stale. Man City was kinda the same before Haaland. Sure they were winning matches and sure they were playing good football but if you watch the match it almost gets boring at times because of the lack of directness at the offensive. Anyway, what do you guys think of Morocco and Portugal? Morocco took down Belgium in the group stages and Spain in the round of 16. Can they take down Portugal in the quarter finals? :/ Here's my parlay for the quarters... Brazil to win and over 1.5 goals combo, Netherlands +.5, Portugal to win and BTTS for England vs France at 8.15. What do you guys think? |

^ For where the lines are at, I feel like it's better to bet on Blachowicz as a decent underdog than going for Ankalev with all that chalk. And Ankalaev is a slow starter so early rounds could work out or Blachowicz with him winning R1 and R2.
If you guys really want Ankalaev it could be good to wait til R2 ends and bet for him live. Def don't take the chalk with where the line is at 1.35.
Here's my lottery ticket for the event. Trying my luck again. Lol.
Ponz - Quarantillo at 2.48
Add: Pimblett - Salvador at 5.17
Add: Curtis - Shabyazan - Rosas at 23.41
Add: Mitchell - Silva - Till at 249.68
Add: Blachowicz - Koslow - Daukas at 8613.87

The final round of 16 games taking place is today:
Morocco vs Spain
Portugal vs Switzerland
Portugal vs Switzerland seems a victory for Ronaldo and his team but in the other game Morocco have an excellent chance to beat Spain and make it to the quarter-finals.
Really? Never thought Morocco had the players to beat a top tier international team like Spain. I fancy a win with a clean sheet for them. And to make the quarter finals super interesting I'd really want to see Portugal vs Spain. Other quarter final matches in the other parts of the bracket are Croatia vs Brazil, Netherlands vs Argentina and prolly the best match up of them all France vs England. If the English squad goes thru, there's a good chance they win it all. France is one of the tougher match ups in this World Cup. Edit: Ah yeah... I get it now. Morocco came out on top in their group and even beat Belgium. both of them played equally well during the first half no goals were created, in fact nothing is impossible in this world cup if morocco makes a surprise to make a goal against spain but of course it's not that easy, morocco is also not a bad team during this world cup and the crowd underestimated it, even predicting that Spain could score more than 3 goals against Morocco is impossible, I can only predict that Spain will win narrowly for 0 - 1 or 0 - 2, even though it looks difficult for Spain to penetrate the opponent's defense to score goals, but we'll see. second half later Yeah I thought the same with the 0 - 2 but no... Lol. Looks like Morocco held and on they go to the quarter finals. I didn't watch the match but I could imagine Spain being a bit stale with the tiki taka style of play. There are days when everything works and they look brilliant and there are days when the opposing squad's defense is so solid that their attacking would look non threatening, just passing the ball around without any direct attacking threat.

Yesterday T.J.Dillashaw has announced his retirement. He has finished his career with 17-5 record and has been fighting for UFC for 10 years. I would say that this is a right decision. He is 36, doubtfully he would be champ (bantamweight is very competable right now, he has lost his title opportunity and next might be only in couple of years), in addition he fight rarely recently.
He has a couple of recurring injuries now. When he fought Sandhagen his knee blew up and there's his shoulder popping off vs Sterling. And yeah, he's getting old at age 36 which is kinda old for a bantam weight. Anyway here's a couple of vids to watch before making your bets for the Topuria vs Mitchell match up which I think should be the co main event. This match up could also be a main event for a Fight Night imho Both of them are wrestlers, they are ranked and both undefeated. I got the underdog for this one in Mitchell as I think he has better wrestling than Topuria.

I think coins that have great potential to become The Next X100 are matic, polygon or matic is a giant project that is now ranked 10th, I suggest to buy as much as possible because when the market improves then matic will skyrocket and to reach x100 of course it takes at least 3 time year.
but the question is about x1000 and that is x10 of what you are talking here . Matic is indeed one of the most promising coin because this has been supported largely from day one and I am also invested in this one. but x100 is not as good looking for short term here . With Polygon at 8 billion USD market cap, I think it has one of the lowest chances of getting a 100x. Think about it, 100x means the market cap has to be at 800 billion USD. That's more than twice BTC's current market cap. Lol. 1000x from 8 billion is 8 trillion market cap. That's like most of the total market cap for all of crypto. Anyway.. I think noobs should be more mindful of market cap when thinking about how much they think a coin will go up. But then again you never know. I just think from what I've seen, 'the criteria' gives a better chance for finding that elusive 1000x investment. |

Hi guys I wanted to ask some of big family members who have experience in crypto and also in gambling. But my experience is not good in gambling.
If someone wants to start a Gambling casino online with Cryptocurrency than how much money is needed. I think that 100k dollars initial capital would be enough to satrt a better casino. Cause we have to promote and also do other such promotions.
So what are your thoughts?
A casino operator and casino software operator would not even consider $100k as a good capital to start a good casino, it could just go to the allotment for the winners and marketing I read one article that You will also have to provide around $200,000 to $300,000 to cover large payouts when players win. so that $100k alone is for large payouts as your reserves of course you should expect profit but you need a reserve for payouts, go check this article https://studybreaks.com/thoughts/how-much-does-it-cost-to-start-an-online-casino/The cost of running a casino could go up to $2 million and the minimum should be at least $1 million for a decent casino that will gain support from gamblers you check the article I provided for the breakdown of the cost. This one says that it would cost around 1.8 million USD to start one. That's a lot. For that kind of money I'd rather start something else like a small candy company or a small brewery for gourmet beer. Lol. Here's a break down of the costs from the article: Software package – $250,000 and up License – $125,000 more or less depending on the country Website – $3,000 and up Payment processor per year – $240,000 Staff – $150,000 or more Reserve fund – $500,000 Marketing and Affiliate payments – $600,000 https://www.businessfirstonline.co.uk/other-articles/how-much-would-it-cost-to-open-an-online-casino-business/^ That's no joke. No wonder some sites take a long time before they pay out some people who hit a jackpot. They were prolly still trying make the money to pay out. Lol. |

The FIA is thinking of changing the rules of the formula again.
This time they are talking about changing the penalties in case a team has to change engine parts over the limit.
Currently, anyone who goes beyond the limit of permitted changes takes a penalty on the starting grid, they are thinking of moving the penalty to the first pit box.
They think it's more severe as a penalty but I think it can have the opposite effect.
It's not about the effect, it's about fairness. It's all about optics and how it will all look from the fans' point of view. I don't want to see my favorite driver get pole but then get a 5 grid penalty and start at third row or something. If he got pole position, I want to see him start from pole. The same thing goes if my favorite driver got pole position because the guy in front of him got a penalty. So yeah... Getting a time penalty from the pit box is a good adjustment imho. I mean what difference does it really make in a sport like F1. We've seen Verstappen start from 10th on the grid and still get to the podium. |

Yeah I like what I saw from Joshua Pacio's high light reels at YT. But the other guy Brooks isn't a slouch either. I'm not really sure what to think as I don't really know both these guys but the fans in Tapology has overwhelmingly voted for Brooks to win and the books that have a market open for ONE have Brooks at 1.25 and Pacio at 3.75. Check it out at Best Fight Odds: https://www.bestfightodds.com/Here are the weigh ins. What are these Asian fighters eating? They're leaner and more ripped! Lol. ONE FC 164: Ceremonial Weigh Inshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxx9XyhqXmIThis is a great fight to watch then, both fighters will surely give their all to win, for me, I fully support Filipino fighters, If I have seen that a Filipino boxer or fighter has something to show over the fight then I will surely bet for him for support but if not I will still support him but not going to bet, but in Pacio's case I really think he got something that he will show and I am betting on that As I said in my other posta above yours, Pacio got a little timid after the first round. I'm not sure if it's something related to his cardio but it looked like the wrestling got to him. But he did defend Brooks' TD's well from R2 - R5. So Brooks stayed outside and came in with a TD or resorted to strikes without over committing. It was a good game plan. Another reason why Pacio was 'timid' was prolly because their game plan was to wait for Brooks to gas himself out which never happened. He was bouncing around the cage for the whole 5 rounds. |

What is next for Pavlovich? One more fight and in case of a win a title fight? Dont think that Pavlovich will manage to climb higher than he is now. Any good wrestler (*sigh* again a wrestler) will make an easy win. Pavlovich seems to be one tactics fighter. He is quick on hands, but barely uses legs. He is good at middle distance due to speed and reach. But on distance, dont think he will stay long against high kicks. On close distance - Overeem threw knees, got Pavlovich down and tko. Seems he is bad against submissions, even though he is from combat sambo.
Curtis Blaydes would make sense and we see how he fares against one of the best wrestlers in the UFC. Another match up that I'd like to see for the Pavlovich is him vs Gane. It's gonna be power vs finesse. I think he loses to both but he got that powerrr that could change the outcome. Lol. Anyway, here are some 282 stuff... Enjoy.

I always love these topics, it shows what people think at the start of the month, and then we see the real end of the month as well. Sometimes the majority is right, and sometimes they are wrong but there is one thing that is certain which is the fact that it's not general knowledge of what's going to happen. Correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen the community picking the right thing with like %80 votes, its always close, and its always a bit wrong, which means that plenty of people have no idea what's going to happen in the next 30 days, and that's a good thing for the market because that means anything could happen.
Lol yeah.. It's fun. And it's good to know what the overall sentiment is for the month. Anyway I'm seeing some guys thinking BTC would drop some more below 15k. Sometimes I'm not really sure if it's really what they really think would happen or if it's what they want to happen. I'm guessing it's the latter as a lot of people are starting to lowball and try get in cheap. I don't vote in my own polls but leaning towards we already saw the bottom. Dunno... Could change next month. Lol. |

^^ It seems that they are at lost with ETH right now, not sure if they are still going to categorized it as a commodity. Behnam said that the only cryptocurrency that should be viewed as a commodity is Bitcoin, walking back from previous remarks made in October when he suggested Ether may also be a commodity.
https://fortune.com/crypto/2022/11/30/inaction-is-paralysis-cftc-chair-rostin-behnam-calls-for-regulation-in-the-wake-of-ftxs-collapse/Anyhow, I voted No, just like BTC, I think ETH is has not yet lowest low for this month. Still possible that a negative news without the market will put the already shaky ecosystem into a big test and the price can still go down hard. And with that, I'm still not sold that ETH included, will not suffer from the impact of negative news and FUD. But here's the thing, even though there's still gonna be some sht going on in crypto, is the market still gonna react negatively in the same magnitude as when the Terra Luna fiasco happened? FTX's fiasco didn't really cause that much of a sell down imho... Given how huge it was. If it happened around January, we'd see BTC drop 50% in a couple of days imho. Lol. So yeah, I think it could be getting to a point where the market just doesn't care anymore. Dunno... |

It must not be listed in any of the major exchanges. This is not a hard rule but I noticed that 1000x coins are mostly unknown.
(....)
Super agree. Those coins are considered hidden gems, which do not yet really exist on some major exchanges. Before, Kucoin Exchange is one of the exchanges that are good to spot some gems here which is to be considered to be 1000x in the future, but I don't know now if Kucoin Exchange is still good any suggestions? But behind that, consider also other things, like tokenomics (very important). Yeah, I haven't traded in Kucoin but looking at the coins listed over there, it looks like it's a safer version of Yobit. Yobit was the nuts before 2018. Don't know what happened to it and why everybody in these parts think it's a scam now. As for which exchange is housing the next 1000x, I think it's gonna be at Cakeswap, Uniswap, Sushiswap, etc etc... You just have to pick one of those ones that might be listed in the likes of Binance one day. |

Stephen Thompson VS Kevin Holland ROUND 4 KO/TKO - LOST
I think Holland just Hype the people with all the trash talk he did before. But I was sure Thompson has something good to offer to Holland, and that's why I only placed 1 bet on that event and it was Thompson for the win. I know it wasn't a big amount, but I really enjoy that fight. and love that x2.48. The first round was complex, but from the second one, I knew Thompson has this match because Holland was just acting as a kicking bag. Holland has a massive fight IQ deficit imho. Lol. If you watched the match, Holland had Thompson on the mat twice with Holland on top. Twice! But what did Holland do? He let Thompson stand up. He played into Thompson's strengths and lost for it. Oh and Holland was fighting with his right hand broken around R2. So he really should've played it on the ground as Thompson had mostly no ground game. :/ |

Like BTC, November wasn't really great for WTH too. And like BTC, it looked like ETH was going to start trending up for a while but then of course something shtty has to happen. FTX. :/ But it also feels like the market stopped caring and we're seeing some buyers scoop up some ETH at these prices. We'll do exactly the same thing as the BTC sentiment thread. Look at the chart below and answer the poll. I saw a guy asking for 'undecided' in the BTC thread. I say no... Let's not take ourselves seriously now. Just have fun and answer yes or no.   |

That's a very good point tokeweed. I was going along the similar line of thought that Wonderboy has become a little washed, but looking at the opponents, and actually thinking about their styles you're probably right. Although, at times he was definitely getting out struck in some of those fights.
Holland has the chance to make a statement here, and put a legend on his record. I don't know what others might think, but I consider Stephen a legend at this point. Probably one of the most unique fighting styles in the UFC, mainly due to his karate background. They're quite rare, and even when there are fighters with that sort of background they tend to ditch the karate stance.
Natan Levy has a traditional karate background and kinda fights in a karate stance... For the first couple of minutes. Then he gets hit in the face and all the karate is thrown out of the window. Anyway.. Here are the results for the weigh ins. One guy didn't make weight. Stephen Thompson (170) vs Kevin Holland (170.5) Bryan Barberena (170.5) vs Rafael dos Anjos (170) Matheus Nicolau (126) vs Matt Schnell (126) Sergei Pavlovich (255) vs Tai Tuivasa (266) Roman Dolidze (185.5) vs Jack Hermansson (186) Eryk Anders (186) vs Kyle Daukaus (184.5) Niko Price (170) vs Phil Rowe (173.5)* Emily Ducote (115.5) vs Angela Hill (115.5) Clay Guida (154.5) vs Scott Holtzman (155.5) Marc Diakiese (155.5) vs Michael Johnson (156) Darren Elkins (145) vs Jonathan Pearce (146) Tracy Cortez (125) vs Amanda Ribas (125) Natan Levy (156) vs Genaro Valdez (156) Francis Marshall (145) vs Marcelo Rojo (145) Yazmin Jauregui (115.5) vs Istela Nunes (114.5) *Missed weight As for the betting side of things I think it's a parlayable event. All the favorites should win except for a couple. I got Anders and Rowe as underdogs. |

Did anybody watch the ONE 164? I loooved all of the matched except for a couple of them and sad to say the main event was kinda underwhelming if you saw the build up between Brooks and Pacio. Brooks wasn't really going in the pocket and stayed mostly outside apart from the wrestling. On the other hand it looked like Pacio got timid after the first round and kinda looked like he was just waiting most of the time. Overall still a good event. I'll say it again, ONE is way better than Bellator. Here are the results... https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/91288-one-championship-164 |

^ I don't blame you, and if I were to bet, I'd also go for Holland. But he has to use some offensive wrestling here instead of trying to out strike the guy. A lot of people thinking Thompson is old and washed, me included, but I go back and see the last couple of losses were vs really good wrestlers and the last couple of wins were vs a prime Luque and the hard hitting Geoff Neal. Those who is an expert in betting, dont you happen to know if it is possible to place a bet only on a fight outcome ? I mean is it possible to bet that the fights end method will be a KO, but without selecting who is going to be a winner? I think Tai Tuivasa vs Sergey Pavlovich fight is going to end with a KO, I just dont know who is going to be more accurate or lucky that day. These two has total of 26 KOs in 30 fight  Hah yeah.. Would be cool if we could have those kinds of props. Other good ones could be betting for the over and the under on TD's and total strikes. |
