Nikola Jokic always has a problem and that problem is when he is so dominant in the teamwork but he is in a bad day in accuracy. Several times i see Denver Nuggets losing the games because the joker try so many shots and he fail a lot of them, clearly you cant complain about it because also the joker win for you so much games in alone plays made by him.
Perhaps he needs to shoot more in some games because they are down and his team mates are not making any shots. Like in game 7, he had missed a lot of 3 points, but suddenly make back to back because they are down. Porter choke, can't make his jump shots and so is Murray who supposedly the second best option for them. And then Gordon wasn't able to contribute as well while the Wolves played great defense in game 7 and their big men dominating the boards with Gobert, KAT and Reid. |

Whether you trust the algorithm of the game that you're playing or not, you're probably not going to be able to do anything anyway because you're still going to play. Maybe if it's proven to be rigged then you probably have an answer to it like a complaint to the people behind that casino, but that's rarely the case on this one because the way these casinos rig their game, they still make sure that you still have the chance or so they like for you to think. Maybe the reason why we think things are rigged is because we just can't fathom that we're losing so much money whenever we gamble that we need some form of mechanism that would make us think that there's some tangible forces behind that's conspiring to make you lose money.
Well there are way to check if casinos are provably fair, but I doubt everyone here is doing their due diligence because we all know that gambling is based on pure luck and if we lose then we might as well shrugged our shoulders. Which means we might not be concern of our losses as we might be thinking that we can go back the next day and see how our luck it. Maybe it will be very different as the last one and this time we are going to win big money. |

Anyway, Game 6 between the Mavericks and the Thunder will be the next game. Will the Mavericks end it on their home, or the Thunder will force a Game 7.
Well, Wolves and Nuggets goes to game 7. New York Knicks and Pacers goes to game 7. It's possible that Mavs and the Thunder are also going to go for the game 7. But one series tomorrow, the Nuggets and the Wolves are going to be the decider game. Of course as fans we wanted an extended series and have another game 7 between the Mavs and the Thunder. But OKC needs some contribution from their players and rise to the occasion otherwise the whole season that they have been working to be the top 1 will go out of the window. They will have to find a way to win in the road here, they've done it before and so they should be positive that they can accomplished it and then go to game 7 at their homecourt and they will have the advantage then. |

I know most popular meme coins were on Ethereum, Solana, Base, TON, and most recently the BRC-20 tokens. Which makes me wanna believe HODL could actually be the first meme coin on BNB Chain cos i have never heard of any prolly, some of you may have heard but the info confirms it is the first to be built on BNB chain with the project's core concept buit on the idea “No more tortures for holders”
Surprisingly, HODL doesn't seem to enjoy the same hype as Pepe, Doge, Shiba, or recently BOME, but it was listed on Bitget and Pancakeswap few hours ago. It caught my attention due to its claim of being the first meme coin BNB Chain. I did buy a little, and it has been very bullish since my entry. This makes me curious: is it the first meme coin on BNB Chain, and are we about to witness another BNB Chain meme coin era?
Lol, the keyword here is "meme" coin, so regardless of what chain it will go, it will still be the classic pump and dump scheme. Not that we are against it, but it's obvious that for a beginner who doesn't have the experience and then being shilled by meme coins, it could be dangerous and they can be suckered and then lose money in the end and blame the whole market for that. So good luck buying them and hopefully you can make money out of it. |

Buying bitcoin with DCA Increasingly and consistently to enhance your investment portfolio in this dips situation. DCA is a method that is especially made for Bitcoin which is a universal system. Buying more time of dropping will increase your confidence to investing more.
Just to be fair, DCA has been with the investment industry for many years and so with that, it's not was not made or created for Bitcoin. However, it is also very effective so I guess there's nothing wrong with using it in the market. And with the majority here as like average joe investors, it make sense that we are going to used this method although it has some drawback. I mean you really need to be consistent to grind hard every week or every month. But the reward in the end will outweigh those years that we have been mentally doing it and it will make us huge money in the end. |

I can not say that I a huge boxing expert, but I notice that Usyks weak spot are body shots. Dubois landed a clear shot (imho it was clean), Briedis gave him a hard fight with body punches when he was in cruiserweight, and in amateur career Beterbiev found that weak spot also. But Fury, as a really huge guy and heavy hitter, going to cause lots of troubles if he even land a punch to the block. Usyks feature is landing lots of punches, long combos and a win by points. Amazingly, but Fury can do the same and in high tempo. I expect Fury to win by TKO.
I think everyone is vulnerable to a body shot, specially if you are hit on that sweet spot. But there is a video of Dubois landing that questionable body shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssVX2FQdMiwP.S. However, I notice in media, that they already agreed for a rematch. Does it means the fight will be fixed and we get a draw ?  Nah, a lot of pride in the line, I don't think that anyone will give someone inch of advantage and make the judges score it a draw. There will be someone to be declared a winner in this highly anticipated fight and for the unification in this division. |

I have played at a few casinos only and so far my experience on those casinos has been good instead of bad or worst. I know I have lost of some of the casinos but I believe I lost because of my own luck and that was not the casino's fault.
Of course everyone's luck is very different and it's not the casinos fault, but who knows, there could be some casinos that is rigged and that could be one of the worst and then those casinos that are overtly are scammers. I will also not mentioned any names of the casino, but for sure the majority here already experience it like asking for KYC (although I will agree that this could be the norm now), but in the beginning they are not as long as you are losing money to them. But when you win and win big and try to withdraw, they will do everything to delay your winnings. |

The Timberwolves owned the paint tonight against the Nuggets. They had a 20+ rebound advantage as a team led by big nights from Karl Anthony-Towns and Rudy Gobert. When they’re playing like that, they’re the best team in the NBA. Game 7 will be a great game to watch. It might as well be the NBA Finals.
Just like how they played in game 2, they dominated the Nuggets again. 43-62 rebounding disparity, that's huge, it looks like Nuggets didn't travel to play as in the rebound alone, they aren't getting it done well. Also, the nuggets struggled a lot in the 3 point area as they only shoot 19% which is very low. Well, I guess now we can say that this series is really unpredictalbe, we have a game 7 back in Denver, still it's hard to predict if the home team will dominate. Yes, and we will give credit to the defense of the Wolves. There were immediate concern when the Nuggets started hot and so Wolves call early time out, but after that, it was a different team, playing good defense, running and hitting their shots. McDaniels is the big difference for the Wolves with a big 21 points. Yes, as I have said before, this series is very unpredictable but the game is going to be in Denver and that they will have their home court advantage again. It's not a do or die game, but maybe the defending champions might still have some ace in their sleeves and finished this series. |

Personally I still hold it. Even though currently the price of bitcoin tends to fall, I am sure that in the next opportunity the price of bitcoin will reach a much higher ATH than before. My target is not just $75k but $100k, and I am determined to continue hold until the price of bitcoin reaches $100k.
I like this type of attitude. People and investors need to have clarity like this. If you are investing in Bitcoins, then you need to think of something big. I have often seen the investors get into fear and panic sell the coins when price starts falling. Instead what they can really do is think this as an opportunity and buy the coins at cheap price. I have even heard that many people are planning to hold the coins till it reaches 500k USD. So lets hope for the best and keep on accumulating the coins. Wow, that's a big price, but I think it's achievable in the next 5 years or so. But right now, the target is $100k, at least that is the conservative estimates that almost majority thinks that we will hit in the next bull run or our new all time high. Dreams are not taxed so we can predict and dream about the price bitcoin can achieve, 500k$ or 1 million...But let's look at the fact that we haven't even reached our $100K goal, which we've been dreaming about since the 2021 bull season but it hasn't happened so far. So, expecting a higher ATH is unrealistic. Bitcoin still has long-term upside potential, but we also need to note that bitcoin's growth rate is gradually slowing down and becoming more stable. Bitcoin has become bigger, it can no longer bring x10, x100 profits like when the capitalization was small. So, expecting bitcoin to reach $500k or $1 million is somewhat exaggerated and unrealistic, let alone claiming that it will happen in the next 5 years. I do agree we all have our dreams and what price we wanted. And with that, we should really be careful of our predictions, who really don't know, maybe we can hit it or not. But yes, it should be really baby steps, maybe in this bull run we will be looking like $100k++ first and then before we can talk about half a million to $ 1 million. That's a big dream to all of us, and again, just imagine if it become true, what will be our life will be then. And that's why we really need to keep dreaming and continue to accumulate no matter what. |

Hongkong? Yes, I think Bitcoin ETF has been approved already and has been going on for the last 2 weeks if I'm not mistaken.
China? hmm, I doubt it, we've seen their anti-Bitcoin stance for many years already and I don't think that a authoritarian like them will allow their people to thrive on crypto and get the financial freedom that their population will have.
Remember then even their richest person, in Jack Ma was losses all his money after criticizing the Chinese government.

@Baofeng. I wish it will be Lomachencko vs. Shakur first and I also wish Shakur will win this and have a big name in his record. This will certainly cause the scammer Tank Davis to be very envious because all of the hype will go to Shakur. Tank's hype will be lower after fighting the boxer that we do not know name? Is it Steve Martin? Yes, I wish Martin will give a shocking performance and make it a split decision heheheh.
It could be a done deal, with Loma vs Shakur, but unfortunately Shakur is thinking of not re-signing his contract with Top Rank which is up to July 6. But Top Rank can still hostage Shakur, they can say to him sign with us again and we will guarantee a fight with Loma. And that's why it might be Tank first if Shakur doesn't want to extend his contract with Bob Arum and Top Rank. I think it will still be good for Loma's legacy to fight Tank Davis first. Will not change a thing and then if Shakur still wants a piece of Loma then maybe he will be next or Bob Arum skipping him totally. Either one of these two would be good to see, after all, both fighters are champion and still hasn't experience a loss yet. Whatever is easy for Loma, he should go for that fight, and since he is a proven boxer already, he is not there to cherry pick opponents but to fight the best. There's still plenty of time, I hope that will happen before the year will end and if Loma wins, he could rest and continue next year. There will be no easy fight for him, so whoever comes first for Loma gonna be tough. But I will agree that we want him to fight Tank Davis, that will be an explosive fight as Tank has power but Loma is tactician in the ring, just like in this fight, we didn't know that his strategy is to go to the body and soften Kambosos. So it will be a battle of strategy as well, who will prevail in this kid of stylistics match up? And imagine the trash talking of Tank Davis and not respecting Loma at all. |

I thought that this fight has ended already, but when I checked it has moved to May 25.
And with that, the odds as per Stake, it's now 50/50 at 1.86. It looks like Josh Taylor though has seen better days and the wear and tear is not affecting his body. So I wouldn't be surprised if Catterall finally get the numbers here against his arch nemesis.
Thanks for bumping this thread I saw this in my feed, and I remember there was a thread created for this match. This may not be a title match, but it has all the excitement; just like a World title, it is a grudge match, and we boxing fans love it when there are personal reasons involved; there are so many thrash talks between the two parties, the Usyk - Fury is coming, and after that fight, we have this fight to carry on our excitement in boxing, this is a great month for boxing fans. I have a feeling that the fights of the year will be those that happened in April or May. Right, thanks for this bump and yeah this has been postponed with a new date and so I updated it as well. I do agree, and as we have been discussing, there could be fans who think that Catterall took everything from Taylor in this fight, because after this, Taylor was very different as he lost the belt to Teo Lopez. And so there are no belts but personal pride is on the line between the two and as we can see during the press conference, there are a lot of trash talking. And Catterall even spoke that Taylor is faking his injury and doesn't want to face him. But everything has been settled that the new date is May 26. As there is no belt on the line, they need to make noise for this match. And trash talking is one of the easiest routes to make boxing fans interested. Taylor lost the belt to Lopez, hence, the odds now are seemingly 50/50. Maybe in some bookies, they will favour Taylor a lil bit. But I guess, I'll just watch this fight and not bet. The bad blood between them is said to be personal, but that's their business. So long they will give a toe-to-toe fight and not a boring one, I guess boxing aficionados will watch their fight. We will know what will happen next for Taylor's boxing career, if in case, he will lose this one. Maybe, hang his gloves or continue to fight. He's only 33, so he has still few years that he can be active before finally calling it a day. This fight though is more of domestic rivalry, both are from England and so they are buying for their own respective fans. And I think it will sell locally, but not sure if it will be worldwide success as some fans are not familiar with Jack Catterall. Nevertheless, it will be good for their local fans as they have been waiting for this rematch for sure. Taylor narrowly beat Catterall the first time but it was a close decision and others says that Catterall should have won that fight but the judges elected to give to the then champion Taylor. So no belts in the line but the fight is still very exciting and intriguing to see the outcome. |

I'm always rooting for the Mavs to win the series against the Thunder. OKC took a lot of 3-point attempts, but they only made 10 out of 40. SGA scored 30 points, but the second-highest scorer, Chet, only made 13. The Mavs lead the series and will play at home in Game 6. As long as they can't stop Luka's offense, which is likely to happen, they are bound to lose.
It looks like the Thunder have chosen some strange strategy for this game. I mean, what was the point of continuing to make so many three-pointers if they already had a poor shooting percentage after the first quarter. Anyway, let's see what will happen in game 6, but if the Thunder can't adapt during the game, they will probably lose this series. Well they might thought that it will be enough to overcome the Mavs. But unfortunately, in their homecourt, perhaps the biggest game as they will take a good lead, the inexperienced OKC Thunder was not able to respond. And the more that the fans taunted Luka and Irving, the more they responded. And there are a lot of players that step up in this game for the Mavs. So what do you think of a series between the Nuggets vs Mavs in the potential West finals? |

And then after that if you don't sell in this bull run and continue to hold then good for you. Others though might take some profit this bull run. But me thinking though what you said, because if I just hold my coins that I accumulated from the last bear market it could really be big money this incoming bull run but it's mentally tough but it's doable in my opinion. |

Good news for boxing. Jermall Charlo was already stripped of his WBC belt a few days ago. Interim champ Carlos Adames is now the new WBC champion. Maybe it is time for these champion to face each other again so we'll have a new undisputed champ in this division. But I doubt PBC allows Lara and Adames to face Top Rank's unified WBO and IBF champ Janibek Alimkhanuly.
At least, finally we will see a new champion as Charlo has been a champion but he didn't defend it against his mandatory, so it's like he held the belt hostage for many years. The only name I recognized is Lara though. But he is old if I'm not mistaken and could be lucky that he has a belt right now. But it open up the division obviously and hopefully there could be unification fight as well. Last weekend, we saw the great Lomachenko became champion again by methodically breaking down ex unified champion George Kambosos. I want to see Loma retiring. He has nothing to prove in this division and I highly doubt he unifies all the belts as he is already running out of time.
I still believed he still has a couple of fights inside of him, maybe a Davis or Shakur might will cemented his legacy. Just imagine if Loma at this age will beat both of those young and great fighters. |

I don't know, I just can't feel Gobert. He should be the one stopping Jokic or at least limiting him. As the DPOY, and with this being his fourth DPOY, I expect more from him. If they can't limit Jokic next game, it's over for them. Also, Gordon stepping up is another problem for them. They need to play defense if they want to extend this series, but their confidence seems to be fading.
Nuggets manage to ready them after that 2 straight losses, now, they just made a good adjustments allowing everyone to spread and take good look shots, while if Jokic can force himself inside they are allowing him to create his own space and play his usual game, that core players are all contributing either with good defense and a support offense when Jokic needs them. And same with your observation, Gobert needs to adjust and try harder stopping Jokic, if they don't find that right adjustments, it's over for them Nuggets will do everything to finished the series to have that rest advantage advancing to the conference finals. Gobert has been mocked for being a DPOY for this year but he can't stop Jokic and a lot of people thinking about that Gobert award is a joke. Wolves need a good adjustment since it seems they are pretty soft and allow Jokic to dominate inside the paint. Next game is a do or die for Wolves so they really need to produce good numbers and limit the scoring of Jokic. But to bad that it seems Nuggets already figure out how to defend wolves that's why they totally limit Edward to produce good offensive contribution. If Nuggets will perform the same then Wolves will take their vacation and Nuggets will compete again for conference finals. Its exiting but its early to celebrate for Nuggets fans since we don't know what Wolves cooking for game 6. Yes, it's a must win for the Wolves, the good thing is that the game is in their homecourt, so maybe they can still breath and force a game 7 and we will see how great is ANT is this kind of very important game. Otherwise it will be the defending champs moving into the Western finals again and we might see them against the number 1 team in the West. So it will be number 1 vs number 2. But if that happens, I think the experience of the Nuggets will be too much against the young Thunder. |

Anyone who thinks that the NYK will make a comeback in the next game as MSG?
I have them at -1.5 this early at 1.88 odds, I think despite that they lack personnel, they will have to bounce back in this game and the Villanova boys will have to find a way to win and get back the momentum in this series.
They struggled without OG, if he will not play, I think the Pacers will win. The confidence of the Pacers now is on the roof after they beat the Knicks by blowout last game, so I think they'll likely take the win. Currently the Knicks are -2.5, but this is already game 5, they might face the fatigue as they are undermanned and have not been using their bench effectively. But it this game was taken over by Jalen Brunson and a whole team effort from the others, specially Isaiah Hartenstein who grabbed 17 rebounds. And so even if they are fatigued, it's their homecourt, with some of the Knicks great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNCbwhP-raYSo there's no way for the Knicks to lose this one in their homecourt. And good for those who bet even higher handicap=higher odd wins. Congrats. |

United States President Joe Biden has signed an order preventing a China-linked crypto mining firm, to see more of this News you can click in the link below 👇👇👇 https://cointelegraph.com/news/biden-orders-removal-chinese-owned-crypto-miner-near-missile-base But what the president is doing i don't think, is going to end well with Chinese this is going to affect their business over there and more people. Even if they move out crypto at missile base it'll surely not change anything cause the Chinese crypto are really helping out there. I don't know what's your opinion towards this? Or maybe the Chinese are trespassing? Not sure how big that crypto mining farm that's about to be closed, but it seems that it is big as it raised a millions of money. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of miner farms across the globe that can cover so the effect might not be felt and there could be no impact to the price itself. Really hard to comment on the repercussions or what is the motive by the Biden administration but it's obvious it is political. And this is not the first case though, there are many countries now specially in the South east Asia that there are suspicions that China is trying to insert someone in the government and thought to be sleeper agent. So I wouldn't blame US government for doing this. |

Crawford has much more experience, better score, more to lose. Madrimov is still a newcomer when it comes to pro fights.
IMO Crawford is going to be very well prepared and harder to counter since he's a southpaw and you don't get a lot of good sparing opponents who excel in this stance, so Madrimov is going to have much less experience in fighting southpaws than Crawford vs orthodox fighters.
Whatever Madrimov does in the ring Crawford is ready for that, you're not an elite if you do not have multiple plans or the ability to shift in the fight, after the Spence fight I consider Crawford a flawless fighter, can you imagine a fighter who was considered his co-equal getting knockdown by his jab. Madrimov is not better than Spence so we can conclude that it will be a much easier fight for Crawford, Crawford needs to fight level-A fighters now after the Spence fight fighting other unknown names is not attractive anymore, so I expect him to fight any of the Charlo or Canelo, so let's see. Yes, if we have look at the previous fights of Madrimov, he is more of a powerful puncher and I think Crawford had deal a lot of this type of boxers in his career and he was able to adjust in the middle of the fight to even win by knockout himself. I read some interview of him that when he was caught by Spence with that right hand, and he said in the line like "is that it", meaning he was able to take the best punch of Spence and he was not affected or even get wobbled by it. What I'm trying to say is that I think Crawford can take the best punch of his opponent and he can also dish one as well to stop or knock them down. |
