Bucks will bounce back in game 2, it should be a close game.  Smiley
I'm looking forward to seeing that they'll bounce back on game 2. After so many years that Bucks has appeared in the finals, many are counting on them to get this year's ring.
But they are not the favorites, so I think there's no high pressure on Giannis winning but I believe they can beat the SUns.
Actually the Bucks this season have less expectation because the favorites are the Lakers and the Nets, so I like to see them prove people wrong now that the suns are heavily favored to win in the series.

The line is out, Suns are at -5.5 in game 2.



Yeah definitely not the favorites, a lot of money on the Suns in this one. Still like the Suns in 5-6, they looked great last night.  Think Bucks switch jrue on cp3, can't let him orchestrate like he did last night.  Let someone else cover book

I agree, let someone else cover book as CP3 is the most important man on the roster, and someone has to neutralize him. Jrue Holiday is a great defender, he just needs to focus on going a great job against CP3 so the Suns' offense won't be easy. For sure, a big adjustment will happen in game 2 and with that, I believe the bucks would cover the spread if they'll not win.

Suns in 5 or 6, it's likely but let's see how people think once the Bucks won at least one game.

Aside from that, the homecourt advantage of Phoenix also considered, though bookies might see other things aside from knowing that Giannis is out and the rest of Suns startes are available to play, which mostly the basis of this odd.

Still no information about the availability of Giannis if he can play this coming game 1 or he's going to watch it from their bench.

What do you think about CP3? are we going to see him playing like how they end the Clippers?



Yup! that home court advantage does have a factor and bookies is looking to all possibility for Suns advantage, and now Giannis Antetokounmpo have played on the 1st game of the finals, but as expected he still not at 100% and just playing 35 mins of the game, I think just like Chris Paul have come back to the Phoenix Suns he still not in top shape, and the Suns have expose him in gameplay to coup for his lost due to his injury, I think they let Giannis play for now so he can coup up back on top shape.

Unfortunately, the Bucks lose in game 1, but still, it's too early, the series will not be over soon as even if the Bucks will lose again in game 2, for sure the Bucks will bounce back in game 3. Cp3 did an amazing job, he is good at finding mismatches and I think what's lacking is the defense on Paul, it should be Holiday who should do the kind of defense Mann put to him, he has to follow him wherever he goes.

He's doing it on purpose and this fight might also be part of that plan, we know he's running for presidency and that's normal in politics.
Maybe you are right, but I'm sure he did not expect the result. He thought he could some sympathy from the people, but instead he was criticized for his ignorance, he doesn't act like a Senator who knows and familiar with the law of the land. Manny is in hot sit and he will always be criticized, and with that said, I see him not winning the election.
1924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 06, 2021, 01:49:05 PM
I love to see the Bucks win in game 1, and with that, here's my bet on this particular game.

It's a high odd and I'm thinking maybe I'll be lucky backing the bucks to win the full game but losing in the first half.



what can you say?
1925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anybody ever used pnxbet? on: July 06, 2021, 01:30:03 PM
Almost every gambling sites have a scam accusation, you need to be aware of that.

Based on my personal opinion, this site is paying because I have a friend who is gambling in this site and he is also making referral income from this site, so in his experience it's paying, for others who made a scam accusation the site is not, just evaluate everything that is needed before you decide.
1926  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I Predict $20,000 for dogecoin in 5years time on: July 05, 2021, 09:09:42 PM
Dogecoin has been different kinds of low level names in the past and in the present but the altccoin seem to have woken up to prominence and maybe it could keep sustaining the move as some altccoins like bnb, xrp, Ada, ethereum have done. Despite the name calling, the growth of dogecoin has really gone pass many so called promising coins and it is now at the 7th spot in crypto ranking.

Therefore, maybe dogecoin can get to $20,000 and above in 5 years time  Grin Grin just like this user predicted the price of bitcoin in the beginning

Trust me! You are only a joker trying to buy people's mind to support the existance of a coin that has no usefulness in the society. I think the ultimate reason why people are still investing in dogecoin is because Elon Musk is till manipulating the price, jokingly In support of it price. By the time Elon dumps this good for nothing coin, that is when the market will experience huge dumps in it price. I can decide to invest in it or trade it not because it is valuable to me, but just to take my profits and run, maybe if i notice an huge dump in it or falling price.

People have thought that DOGECOIN Is a Ponzi scheme where the price could go to a price that is beyond our imagination. A person who understands crypto investment would already know that calling DOGE to reach $20k is stupid, it will not even reach $1k IMO, and I will bet on that.

It's very clear that Elon has already entered the mind of the newbie investors, they think he is God in crypto and whatever he calls will happen.
1927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 05, 2021, 08:53:52 PM
I really do hope that the finals goes to 7 games, it would make the games so much more entertaining.
Everyone would love game 7, but it's not possible if Giannis will not come back in the series. He is the star player of the Bucks and I don't see the Bucks competing well with the Suns without him. Hawks are a good team, but not as good as the Suns, so we might not be able to see the Bucks lucky again.

Since Giannis is still not ruled out, his status is "day to day", let's all be positive that he will return.
1928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 02, 2021, 09:51:31 PM
~snip~
Manny's focus now is training, that's it.
^ I heard Manny Pacquiao was so busy on his political carrier and I heard rumors that he will run soon as a president of the Philippines.
I don't think he has time to trained well and be prepared for this match and I am afraid that in this match Manny won't make it but I hope he will be able to win this fight because I putting my bet on his side. The Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr fight is very interesting because both fighters are very aggressive while Spence now is only focused on his boxing carrier than Manny that has a lot of jobs to do.
He is training already, and even before he is doing multi-tasking and yet he is still effective as a boxer. This isn't new to him, he needs this fight for popularity, I mean more popularity and more money to finance his ambition in running the Presidency in the next election.

I'm 100% sure that he will lose in the Presidency if he will try to run. He is outstanding in boxing, but not in Politics, it needs brains and experience in order to run the country and Pacquiao does not have that yet at the current stage. I understand that he trying to help and fulfill his dreams at the same time, but he has to understand that there are more brilliant people than him, instead of running, why not just support them. Anyway, too much politics, let's go back to sports.
1929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to make good profits through ICOs? on: July 02, 2021, 09:29:23 PM
It was really possible to make a good profit through ICOs in the past. But for now, I'm not so sure about it. Because there are new kind of projects now (like DeFis etc.). People have started being interested in them more compared to ICOs. But of course it doesn't mean that there are zero good ICOs. Still, there are really good ones. You just need to do a very detailed research.
Yeah, to find reliable ICO projects this time is time-consuming or even we just waste time searching for nothing.
We have done good and bad with ICO's in the past. If we have a good deal in ICO's in the past, not for sure if it still the same as of today as we know that scam are sprouting and a lot of people become a victim.

Maybe it was time to forget them and look forward to the next chapter with NFT. But, we still need to be cautious with NFT's, because happens to ICO might be the same as a scam projects still exists.

In every platform that is hype, there's always a risk and it's always high.

Though ICO failed or lost its popularity, we can say it has also contributed to the market, ETH and BNB is a product of ICO and they are now leading the altcoins market, so it's not really bad to look for a good project, just don't generalized the platform as good and that you'll just invest blindly because of confidence.
1930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: July 02, 2021, 09:16:20 PM
There are also concerns that current vaccines are less able to protect against the variant, although the latest PHE figures suggest two doses of either vaccine are still highly effective against hospitalization: 96% for Pfizer/BioNTech and 92% for Oxford/AstraZeneca.

In simple words: if vaccinated, even if you catch Delta, the chances of ending up in the hospital are extremely low.

I'm not saying we shouldn't care though. As I said in my earlier post: I don't think going to public places, including casinos, is a good idea these days, even if you are fully vaccinated. But, imo, we should avoid unnecessary panic by all means.
This is good news, the whole selling point of getting vaccinated is not that we are not going to get the virus, that will happen to everyone eventually, but the fact the vaccine helps you to fight the virus and reduces the intensity of the symptoms and helps us to avoid getting hospitalized, however if this continues and poor countries are unable to get the vaccine how long it will take until a new strain appears that is immune to the vaccine and it is even more aggressive?

As the demand for the vaccine is for everyone, I'm sure it will become cheap that everyone could afford, especially the poor countries. Actually, they don't need to spend, if they have an ally with big countries, they will just have to wait and receive the donation and they'll get their people vaccinated, although not as fast as the rich countries but we can see the help coming.
And that's whats currently happening in our country on where there are donations do came from allied countries and getting those vaccines but of course the government would really be spending up

something since they do have budget to do so but when budget depletes then that's the time they do took some loan on other countries or just simply getting donations from them.

Also, not all would really be getting the benefit of vaccination as this would only prioritize into those people who cant afford such shot which its really understandable and a pretty
normal thing to be done.
But even we are already fully vaccinated, I'm not confident of roaming around going to casinos or anywhere because it might possible that you can be a carrier of the said virus and possibly it will be transferred to another person especially when we have kids in your house. Maybe we don't have to reach that point and we still need to be carefull until the situation will stop or until everyone get vaccinated.

Very possible, and the government already sees that that's why it's only done in big countries as they have a high rate of vaccination already. They know that the only way to go back to normal life is to get everyone vaccinated, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll make it a law to make everyone complied with getting vaccinated.

1932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP Price After Lawsuit? on: July 02, 2021, 08:39:42 PM

Don't look at XRP too high, because I don't believe XRP will hit $2000, that's a very unreasonable target. Similarly, the $10 price target is also
a target that XRP will not achieve this year, because the target that XRP is likely to achieve if it manages to resolve legal issues with the SEC is
likely to be as high as $5. That's the most realistic target I think XRP can achieve.


Being realistic gives you the right assessment in choosing what project to invest and how long the duration

to wait, I see your point for saying that $5 is far realistic than thinking of much higher from that value, even

XRP wins this case, the needs of huge amount of money to flow will be the reason to see any possible pump

to happen.

The question is when will we see that pump?

We have been waiting for a long period of time and yet no pump has come, in fact, XRP has struggled lately, and I think even if we will hear some good news about Ripple, the time is still not good enough to pump XRP to $5, we have past the bull run already, that should have been the great timing.
1933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRX to $1? on: July 02, 2021, 08:18:42 PM
If that happens a lot of people will be happy because they have big bags of TRX, but they can't get rid of it. I don't particularly know the TRX structure and don't know if it has the potential for $1, but based on what DOGE was able to do and even SHIB, why wouldn't TRX be able to do it too? A gain of more than 16x is not insanely impossible in cryptocurrency.

I really hope TRX can go to $1 because I'm currently holding a few thousand TRX...

TRX is a coin with a large number of transactions but until now it has not touched its ATH. doge and shib will not have high prices without elon. Tron needs more strong marketing to pump its price up to $ 1.

That would be the biggest day of investors like us if TRX will reach $1.

It's been a while since it achieved its ATH, I think it's high time to see a new one and hopefully, when the time comes, we will be able to see a $1 per TRX.
TRX is definitely one of the most undervalued projects in the market, but don't worry, if you will keep holding, you'll definitely enjoy your profit as the right time will come.
1934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: July 02, 2021, 08:02:06 PM
what? didn't he already have one? something called doge lol..

man this man is insane...just tweet anything that he wants...cum rocket,baby doge etc etc and make any token he tweet go up in numbers.

if he somehow makes his own coin, he will full pumping it 24h non-stop.

well, that is the advantage it has. however, I currently do not stock the doge or baby doge. well, if Elon Musk made his own coin, I think that would be pretty good. maybe it can be very useful for the use of the product he made. well, I'll probably try to have it over doge.

He is shilling DOGE and he is successful with making DOGE one of the top coins in the market.

Here's the logic, if he can make a certain coin that he does not own to be successful, how much more a coin that he will create?
Think of that, I think the fans would be delighted and they'll just follow the hype like they do with DOGE.

Elon still got it, his popularity is slowly fading but there are still investors who are blindly following him until now.
1935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 02, 2021, 01:06:26 PM
Bucks in 6 or 7? I think we will see a game 7.
Thinking the same thing even though Bucks had a good performance and maintained a solid lead throughout the game I think they'll continue to struggle on the road since their shooting percentages wasn't the best.

The odds say it's close to a coinflip but i'm leaning on the Hawks as they're able to put up a decent fight and when you're one game from elimination the players will most likely give their all. We'll see if there's any injury update in the next day or two.

Hawks is -1 now, the opening line was PK. There has been a slight movement of odds but we can't use it as a basis because most likely if the Hawks would win, they will also cover that point spread. If Trae Young would play, most likely the Hawks will have a huge chance of winning, that's my opinion.
1936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: July 02, 2021, 12:24:54 PM
It's not impossible and it's likely to happen.

Elon has proven that he can influence investors in the crypto space, that's all he needs to launch his own.
I'm just wondering what would happen to the coins he has been shilling if he already had his own.

All you need in crypto is the name, and people will just follow blindly, that's the sad reality.
1937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about Baby Doge? on: July 02, 2021, 12:09:06 PM
Yesterday, as always, Elon Musk tweets again about a coin called Baby Doge coin. We saw earlier that he tweeted about Shib token and we can see SHIB is now  in 28 number position of coinmarketcap. What do you think about Baby Doge coin?  Will it be in a better position like Doge and SHIB? Does will Binance also list Baby Doge?

Elon Musk Tweet - https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1410529698497630212?s=19

Binance would list anything that they think will gain volume, and since Elon is very popular and has a lot of supporters, there's no doubt that Binance will list a coin he will endorse, however, I am not sure if it will rise as good as the DOGE, or maybe it will just be a pump and dump coin because the hype is high.
1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 01, 2021, 09:53:34 PM
Poll Question: WCF?
Los Angeles Clippers - 7 (58.3%)
Phoenix Suns - 5 (41.7%)
Total Voters: 12

More people expected Clippers to make the finals but injuries help Suns so much, plus Chris Paul's great performance lead them to finals. Suns is in the finals first time since Charles Barkley era, young generation may only know him as a commentator. Smiley
Now let's focus on Eastern finals, I changed poll. Series is still 2-2, everything is possible.

Because we believe that the Clippers have a chance to win even without Kawhi Leonard, or we thought that Leonard would come back in the series.

PG asks himself, what if Leonard was healthy, maybe they can beat the Suns, well, I think I will say yes and even win the NBA Championship this year.

I'll call it a great year for the Clippers as they reach in the WCF for the first time.

The way it ended pretty much flushed their season down the toilet.  I honestly don't think Patrick Beverly should be allowed in the NBA.  Between his breaking Booker's nose when it became clear their back was against the wall to taking a cheap shot push to Chris Paul's back at the end of the game last night...  The guy used to be funny to watch because he was so annoying, but now he's just dangerous out there trying to cause injuries to players that are far above his skill level.  I haven't heard anything about suspensions yet, but if he isn't suspended at least the first 5 games of the season next year it will be a disgusting oversight by the NBA.

Maybe it depends on the gravity of offence, there was no evidence that Beverly intentionally injured booker, but it was clear that he pushed Paul and did not result to an injury, so it will only be a light punishment on a light offense, but Beverly's attitude should be discipline, that's another thing.
1939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: July 01, 2021, 08:38:22 PM
Casimero assure that the fight will push through so I guess they are just really trying to hype this match to attract more viewers not unless Donaire are too serious on cancelling this match. Hopefully, this will be settled now and start their training because many anticipate the match to become more brutal, August will be a month to remember for these two boxer.

I don't know if it's just pure hype, Casimero can say the fight will push through but what if Donaire would stick with his statement, this fight would not happen unless these two fighters are willing to fight each other. The controversy is too early, so IMO, there's really an intention on the Donaire's side to cancel the fight, maybe because they have found a way to fight Inoue, so bye Casimero for now.
1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 01, 2021, 08:23:56 PM
I am one of the dudes that don't hate this guy even with all that drama that happened.
He is vocal, motivated, and pumped. He just wants to win in every possible way he can and his contributions made a big impact for the Clippers taking that 2 wins even without Kawhi. They might have lost the Conference Finals but he gave NBA players a big lesson that they cannot mess with him.
Imagine if players play the same way he did. It's like the 80's all over again and NBA won't be called soft anymore.
I don't know man, there is a good reason to hate him and also mock him at the same time and that is the fact that he is not as good of a player as he acts to be. Dude is not one of the best players in his team let alone in the league but when he is playing he is acting as if he is the best player ever. Don't get me wrong being pumped and hyped is a fine thing, I remember Celtics KG times and that dude was pumped and hyped at every second he played, he was just built like that, but when he was doing it that wasn't any dirty showboating type of deal, it was all about "come at me" type of thing and that is not what patbev is doing at all.

In any case dude is already 30+ years old with not so much prospects to look for, I am sure he will be out of the league in under 5 seasons, so he is not really a cared point in the league. At least he didn't injure CP3 on the verge of Finals, that is a good relief, I want to see CP3 win a ring already!

Beverly lost control, he was frustrated his team lost but in the while, he lost his sportsmanship. IIRC, they were teammates back in Houston but he is acting like they don't know each other. Pat is the best defender in the NBA, maybe, but CP3 is more than that, and he proves it by beating the Clippers.
