New week new playoff round.  What's everyone thinking as of today?

So far like the giants +7.5, division rivals always play tight in playoffs.  Still not sure if jalen hurts shoulder is OK.

I like the under in the cowboys and sf game.  Shoukd be a defensive dog fight.

Then gimme my SB pick and the KC Chiefs to win against Jax and then....

Bills/Bengals, I just can't decide here.  This is going to be the best game of the weekend I think right here.  Between the cheifs/bills/Bengals I can see playoffs involving them for the next 5-10 years.

Will be at the Knicks game tonight, first of the season.  Haven't had a chance to go Ina while so pretty jacked up even though they are only playing the Wizards.  They lost by 2 Monday so hopefully they come out dogging it.  They shoukd beat up on the Wizards here tonight.  They need to start making a run deeper into the lead can't hang on this six line.  Which brings up the trade deadline.  Think they need another 3 amd d guy off the bench.  That's where the Knicks suffer right now is theor short bench.  Thibs is running the starting squad into the ground.

He also cannot retire. He has to make $650 million he lost in Sam Bankrupt-Fried's blackhole hehehe.
Damn was it really that much??
Yes.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen put their $650 million fortune into maximizing their stake in FTX cryptocurrency

Brady has a net worth of $250 million net worth.

Gisele Bündchen’s net worth is $400 million. Together, Brady and Gisele have a massive net worth of $650 million.


Source https://thesportsrush.com/nfl-news-tom-brady-and-gisele-bundchen-put-thier-650-million-fortune-into-maximizing-their-stake-in-ftx-cryptocurrency/

After the divorce, Gisele immediately went to find work and posed topless.

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it.  That sounds like a salacious rumor, not a news story.  There are multiple reports that Brady owned 1.1 million shares, estimated to be worth $45M in July 2022, while Gisele owned 680,000 shares which were estimated to be worth about $25M.  I was able to find other stories that claim he and Gisele lost $650M but all those stories sound like bullshit to me.

Brady, formerly a prominent FTX booster, owns more than 1.1 million common shares of FTX Trading, bankruptcy court documents show. His ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, has more than 680,000 shares in the same entity.

Here's a story from CoinDesk published in November that claims FTX was trading around $4.50, which makes mathematical sense:
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/11/09/nfl-legend-tom-brady-caught-in-ftx-fallout-risks-losing-complete-strategic-investment/


They didn't spend 100% of their net worth into ftx.  Tom Brady also has a 10 year signed contract for $350million as an announcer as soon as he retires.  Either one of them can go broke and instantly be millionaires just on theor likeness.  But there is no way they are both dead broke because of ftx lol

Like all these early games.

Let's start with Bucks-6 at home against the Pacers
GS on the road -3 in Washington
I like the wolves -2 at home against the Jazz.

And the last game for now gimme Grizzlies-10.5 against the Booker less Suns.  That game should be a blowout.

Leaving the Knicks game alone they are on the second day of a back to back and an early game.  They could easily lose this game as much as they can win it.

Good luck everyone!

What I see in this Blazers team ever since is, they will just wait for that "promising" guy that they will be able to pick in the yearly rookie draft and expect that guy to become the next "big deal" for the team like on what happened to Damian Lillard.
I agree. Not really aiming for a championship caliber. They had a lot of chances before with Roy, Aldridge, and Oden. All are wasted.
1977. Their last championship. 92' their last conference championship with Clyde Drexler. After that, 1 conference finals appearance for Damian Lillard against the Warriors. It's a sad story.

They could have had a chance of winning a championship if Oden was not injured, that guy was a very dominant center, his career was just unfortunate. Lillard now is still leading the team, they are exciting to watch because they are an offensive team, unfortunately they always tank in the playoffs.

He barely played even in college dude broke his hand at Ohio state.  The bigger story with that draft was the fact they passed on Kevin Durant for Oden.  Drafting KD would have definitely changed the path of their franchise.  But who knows during the draft what guys will end up like. 

Yeah, I remember Greg Oden some time back, had a lot of hype in this center, unfortunately, he was fragile as a china ware that his name becomes synonymous with NBA draft bust. It could have been great if they got KD as number 1 and probably the franchise might be different today. And if I remember it correctly, it was about the time that Brandon Roy is unwinding his career with the Blazers and Aldridge was blossoming as well. Lots of what if with Lillard and this players in Portland.

There was a other name that unfortunately never saw his total potential.  Brandon Roy was straight nasty at his peak.  Think it was his knee that wrecked his career.  He was on the verge of being a top player in the NBA.  And who can forget the biggest one of them all....picking Sam bowie over Michael Jordan 😂

Helium.  Has almost doubled back to $3 this month.  Dipped all the way down to around $1.60.  Good to see a lot of prices on the move.  Long term I don't this this lasting but in the short term definitely money to be made here.  Hopefully bitcoin can sustain over $20k would be good for alt prices.

Dame is a superstar there is no doubt about that. Just because he hasn't been himself lately doesn't negate the fact that he is one of the all time greats to play this game. Which is why I wasn't shocked to see him play such a great game. Dallas is still a great team with the core they are building.

Between Spencer and Wood and Doncic, we are looking at three good players there, if they could get just one more superstar to Luka, that team could actually fight for a title, there is no denying that at all. Sure all teams sometimes lose games, everyone does, but if they get another superstar, they would be getting titles.

Dallas without Luka on the court might be one of the worst teams in the league.  They need much more than 1 player to compete for a title, Luka can't do it all on his own.  Wood is a good piece but not the type of player that will tilt their way to a title.  Teams like Denver in 7 game series would eat them up.  Luka is good to carry the team on his own once or twice but no way any team doesn't throw double teams on him all series long.

Some early games, missed the Knicks game would have laid in on them in Detroit they have won 11 straight against them.

3 home teams I like today:

Bulls at home +5.5 against the Warriors.  GS isn't that good on the road yet

Nets -5 at home, kyrie needs to cook in this one.

And last gimme Denver at home -10 against Orlando, how can't ypu bet this one!  Jokic should have his way today.

Good luck today everyone!

Starting this to talk about nfl playoffs

Last night thought I had that chargers game in the bag.  What a comeback by jags :/

Today I got my squad giants +3 and tonight locking in the Bengals.  Just dont think ravens can match up without Lamar going.  Tomorrow I'm leaning Brady and the bucs but will hold off for now.

Who does everyone have today??
1892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge can it go 1$ on: January 14, 2023, 08:02:46 PM
Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.

I dont think can even reach that level, last time might the highest level for dong when elon hype pumped on Wall Street bet meme season, and after that many meme stock crumble to the ground, people learn, those wont repeat to that level again, lot of bag holder waiting for that moment 1$ doge
because it probably will never happen and several times Elon musk tried to tweet about Doge and in the end there was no change in the price. well, maybe those who wait and hope for Doge to reach $ 1 are Doge fans who have been saving and believing in the next bullish price increase.
We really don't know anything that will happen in the future when the bulls arrive, but Doge was able to go up last year because of the hype and in the coming year there will definitely be new hype that everyone will forget about Doge

The problem with doge is the block rewards, they never go down.  It continually pays out 10k doge every minute on average.  Supply just continues to grow and I'm not sure if they will have the same demand as they had last bull run.  Everyone is bag holding right now.
1893  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you stacking up on? on: January 14, 2023, 08:01:04 PM
As we will most likely continue to see bear market for this year, what are you stacking up on and why? I would love to know so I can see what people are interested and there reasoning for it.

Smiley.

I'm slowly trying to grow a stack of polygon/matic.  They had a good run last bull market but I think they can breakout huge this next one whenever it comes.  They have continued to grow the project in these tough times right now I can only imagine how much more inspired they will be once prices start to rebound. 
1894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 14, 2023, 07:44:32 PM
I got 5 games tonight usually cap myself at four but these are some good lines.  4 homes teams one away:

Pacers -2, they will avenge their loss in ny
Bulls -4.5
Timberwolves -5 at home, Suns are reeling without Booker
And jazz -6 home against Orlando.

The lone away game I like...the Knicks-4.5. Knicks should roll Washington and actually Julius Randle plays better on the road.

Good luck tonight everyone!
Well, I confess that they will be interesting games!

And I also confess that the Knicks game could be interesting, I don't know, let's see what could happen!

By the way, I realized few people commenting on the Warriors vs Spurs game!!?
Guys, what do you think about this game!!? GSW will win easily?

Unfortunately knicks were up 6 and kuzma shot a meaningless 2 pointer at the buzzer and it went in to make the Knicks win by only 4 losing by the hook Sad

Well 3 games I like today 2 home 1 away.

Boston on the road -8 against Charlotte I like Boston to win by double digits here

Pacers getting +8.5 points at home against the Grizzlies.  Like the backdoor cover but they still lose

And then I like Timberwolves+3.5 at home.  I might actually concede the points and take them in the money line here.

Good luck today everyone!

Reports saying that the Lakers are trying to talk LeBron into riding out this year and then in the offseason they'll try to get Dame or Beal.  I honestly think from a business perspective, this is the only thing that makes sense with Westbrook's contract.  They're going to have to eat that money and then try again to get a championship level point guard.  I'd personally love to see Dame and LeBron play together, as they're both a couple of the best ever at what they do.  They're both getting pretty old though.  I hope there's still time for them to play at a high level.  In any event, this is bad news for people who wanted to see the Lakers in the playoffs this year.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/nba-insider-says-the-los-angeles-lakers-are-trying-to-sell-lebron-james-on-acquiring-damian-lillard-or-bradley-beal-this-summer/ar-AA16knMc

I love me some Dame time.  But he is on the backend of his career he can't be the young juice they bring in.  AD and Bron will be another year older.  Bringing in vets barely ever works.  Honestly Beal might be a good option though, haven't followed his injury history although I know he has been out this year a bunch already.  They need bodies on the floor 82 games a year.  That is their issue.

Relatively speaking in terms of crypto yeah its pretty safe but no crypto is safe for certain.  We've all seen what happens to even the "safest" of projects or businesses, they can collapse in a moments notice.  As the story goes don't put in more than you are willing to lose.

Slogans are never getting old but let's tidy up here: Is Dash still king?

It hasn't been shilled for some time now, which is very bad for Dash.

It has been around for a long time but I haven't heard much from it in the recent years.  As far as dash is king I'd say no since it never was lol.  I remember back when it was dark coin and it got rebranded.  Going to go check it out now what has been up with dash lately.
1899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction touched forum users in a very sad way... on: January 13, 2023, 10:25:56 PM
For the ones who do not follow Collectibles forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434506.0):
Cold Key owner retrieved private keys of all the sold 'cold wallets' he produced and as he was in need because of gambling he stole all the funds.

Which (apart of obvious sad event for card buyers/owners) is a very problematic for the whole "collectibles" market, any coin/card producer now will be asked twice "how may I trust you?".

Yogg scammed it and stole people's money.  It wasn't all of the cards just a certain series I think but who knows.  There are more still loaded but yeah they can all be able to be considered breached.  Gambling doesn't do this to people, people do this to people.  He stole, whatever the reason he stole from people period.  Nothing to do with gambling, if not gambling it would have been for something else.

What a game. The Mavs was leading early and I thought the Lakers won't be able to catch them up but I was wrong. The Lakers though had bad 3-point shooting while Mavs' showed consistent accuracy with their shots.

If you check the stats, you will see that the Lakers made only 10 three-pointers in 41 attempts, while the Mavs made 14 three-pointers in 42 attempts. So I would say both teams made poor three-point shots in this game, even though the Mavs really were slightly better. However, one more thing worth noting is that the Lakers' total field goal percentage was only 39%, and that was probably one of the reasons why they lost this game.

Lakers desperately need AD back they suck without him.  They are a bottom 5-10 team without AD.  With that being said Dallas is just as bad.  Without Luka on the floor they might actually be the worst team in the NBA.  Luka is that good that he is propping that team up.  Knicks own their 1st round pick this year too so no help coming.  Luka is getting wasted on that team.
