It's their business, they know what type of game they will provide for them to continue having the advantage.

The fact it isn't available, it only tells us that they are not making money from it.
If they'll allow that, bettors would certainly take advantage of that and that will result in the bankruptcy of their business.

I tried this one.

2082  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 27, 2022, 01:43:54 PM
I am prediction a low scoring game tomorrow as it's going to be physical both teams wanting to win.

Both teams played a defensive game, so most likely it's a low scoring game again.
The over/under line now is 201. Last game, they only have a total of 173 points, so I think that 201 is already high and the under looks very attractive.
This will be a hard battle, Heat will surely not give up on this easily and that low scoring game are more possible.
We know this two teams are great in physical plays, it's just a matter of proper execution. Below 190 points are more possible, this could be a safe points to predict. Warriors will surely look into this game and watch the team that they are going to face in the finals, Celtics is on a good position here.

Warriors are always ready for whoever wins the series. As a fan, I like to see the best to face the Warriors so both teams will have even support from the bettors. The Celtics are likely to win, question is if they can cover the spread since I'm a bit doubtful because of the past result that the Celtics have beat them via blowout.

Is buying bitcoin right now the same with buying later? I stopped buying because it looks like Bitcoin dips isn't over, imagine buying at 19k per Bitcoin, I think the whole idea of investment is when you are buying not running after the best coins in the market, buying them cheap is better or I don't get it?.
Investment is not just that you simply invest for nothing, but it will be more valuable and profitable if you invest in those cheap coins with high potentials. So the lower the price, the more bitcoin you can buy and hold, the higher the profits you will gain in the future. But since bitcoin is dropping its price more, then we cannot tell that let's wait for its lowest price to maximize our investment, instead let's do DCA so we can always grab the chance to buy bitcoin in every price fall back. I guess it will be more safe that way.
2084  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What you should do in this type of market on: May 26, 2022, 07:19:09 PM
All altcoins investors have to know that now is the time to think long term, think big and be ready for what the market brings. Things will change over the next year or two. Investors who are ready for a bear market can experience significant gains by waiting it out for a while. In addition, the rewards from investing in some of the good projects that will survive this bear market is immense.
This situation will make some projects fail, most probably. But it will also produce some of the best blockchain applications with a lot of value, that will survive the bear market and perhaps end up as the next multi billion dollar market.

Not only for crypto, but in all aspects of investments, we should always think first if its for long term so that we won't be wasting our money in the first place. However, when it comes for altcoins, most of the investors these days are more eager for quick profits so they stick to altcoins with huge returns promises, and investing with too good to be true projects usually end up as scams. The reason why most investors fail because they don't have real long term vision. And with this bear market, although its hard to predict which coins will survive, but if you avoid new projects and stick to old altcoins, and of course bitcoin, then you will never experience huge losses in the end.
2085  Economy / Economics / Re: Get, Save & Invest. on: May 26, 2022, 06:53:49 PM
Save while you can, invest while you can, and never push yourself to do both when there is no need. You need food, you need clothes, and you also need fun and that's why you need to meet your needs before saving and investing.

It's true that that way we will have a good hope of making a profit in the long run (depending on what investment assets we have), but we shouldn't do it just for the money because actually we still need to invest for health in the long term.
When all things is safe and secured, that's when we have to take the final part, investing. Although it's the most effective way to create more money more than your capital, but the process is quite detrimental that we need to take the risks and work under pressure. Good thing if we came up with the right investments as its expected to make you prosper, but if we are being fooled to believe in those investments with red flags, then all our savings will only go to waste. This is why sometimes investments should never be a priority, health first before wealth.

Crypto currency Awareness Campaign is the process of orienting, educating and telling people about crypto currency.

The following agents are used in the crypto currency Awareness Campaign.

1. Individuals: Individual can educate or tell another fellow on crypto on a bus, bar, school etc

2. Bitcointalk.org. In this forum one will be educated on all the aspect of crypto currencies

3. Social media: This is one the large community of communication where people exchange information. Therefore, most people learned and heard crypto currency in this section. Mostly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Tweeter, Telegram, Skype, Yahoo messenger etc.

4. Peer Group: This is one of the influential group that educate, orient and tell their roommates, classmates, treckmates and age-mates etc

5. Informal Education: This section is based on seminars, meetings calls.

6. Radio and Television: at this section, there are non visual and visual presentation on Bitcoin talk

7. Formal Education: This is still on pending in the national education curriculum.

These are the means crypto currency knowledge impacted to people.
Yes, these things could bring out awareness to everyone but for you to be fully aware on crypto, you should have to DYOR it on your self, develop knowledge and skills, get engaged with crypto and experience its failures and success. That way, you will never be misled. However, the best channel or agent that i think is the most relevant by now is through social media. You can have there both the positive and negative views about crypto,  so it's up to you how to weigh things based from your own research and experience.

I saw this post and what do you think? Is it possible for him to become that rich in such a short time?

look at the post here https://boletimbitcoin.com/2022/05/19/com-o-bitcoin-el-salvador-sera-o-pais-mais-rico-do-mundo-em-8-anos/
I won't doubt the potential of El Salvador to become a rich country years from now, but seeing it as the richest country after 8 years, i think this is more of a fantasy. Yes, bitcoin could be a great tool in making one country's economy become progressive but it won't create shortcuts for a country to become instantly rich.  But with great natural resources that El Salvador have like hydropower, geothermal power, petroleum and arable land, if they can be used positively, i guess that will contribute much for the country to become rich.
2088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 26, 2022, 03:46:25 PM

Steve Kerr almost calls it a game because of 99-70 behind entering the 4th Quarter. But his bench squad managed to cut it by 8 points haha.

I don't know if Kerr will put back his main starters lol. The Warriors outscored the Mavericks by 32-13 with 3 minutes left in the final quarter.

What a rally from the Warriors bench lol. This is the problem of the Mavericks since the beginning of this series. I'm expecting lots of criticism later after the game even if the Mavericks will win this game.

EDIT: 119-109 Mavericks
Mavericks pulled off 1 win, I think the series ends in game 5. GSW will close it out at home. Luka is a good player, but he is a ball hog and needs a couple more years to mature.

I missed the game today, but I guess you are correct. Why not extend the series for one more game and win at home. Mavs only has little to non chances of winning this series though. And, so much for Luka trying to be LeBron carrying the Mavs to the finals. I'm not even sure why the Luka and Porzingis didn't worked out. I think experience and maturity is really essential for Luka for the team to work whoever important pieces the Mavs will acquire.

There's still a lot more room to improve for Luka, I mean he is already good but this is just too much for him to bear because there are only 2 or 3 of them in the team who is really functional and Luka is the one who is so consistent. He will be back for the next season as a more experienced Luka, there is no need to rush because this is his 1st playoff experience and he is still 23 years old, yet he managed to carry the team to WCF.

Luka does not need to improve, it's the Dallas team that has to improve because only Luka is the most consistent in the team, without the consistency of his teammates, Luka will not be able to carry his team to beat the Warriors.  It's a must-win for them tomorrow, otherwise, they will be eliminated and their journey will be over, so let's see what he can do to extend the series.

I did it all month of April. although do not know where the lowest point. I bought AXS, I bought Sol, ftm, luna, bitcoin, avax, all coins that I think have great potential and prices are falling. but today i started to doubt, what i did was right?
after I observed my assets were down quite a lot and it was enough for me to have trouble. I want to ask what did I do wrong? Or is this the right decision?
If you tend to hold them for long term, then don't expect quick profits from them. Especially if you bought them at a higher price, then let the market recover first before you can start seeing profits. However, know the risks when you start investing, regardless of how potential the coins you have right now, never expect profits all the time as there can be more losses than gains in the real world of investments. Just wait for the right timing to sell and make profits, when everything is stable, only then you can avoid losses and regrets.

This downtrend has been detrimental to my health (mental health). Exactly %70 just now. No lunch money type of money either.

Have we ever experienced this kind of downtrend before?? What's the latest on how long this might last, or if it's even going to recover.
No one holds the future so you can't expect correct predictions but only speculations. However, if you trace back the history of the market movement, bears and bulls will always be the cycle, so there's always hope for the market to recover, as well as your portfolio. Just never attempt to sell your coins and stay hodling, otherwise you will be facing a huge loss. Forget about the current downtrend, what's more important is that you have taken advantage of the market by accumulating more bitcoin to fill in your portfolio.
2092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 25, 2022, 01:13:36 PM
I'm not surprised that Warriors lose in game 4, at least the Mavs won one game because I'm pretty sure that the series will end in game 5. In game 5, I expect the Warriors to start strong and finish with a double digit win, so the odds now are very attractive, I'm taking the -7.5 as I believe it will be 10+ win by the Warriors.

I agree with you but I still acknowledge the Mavs skills since they are still not giving up the series easily to warriors because this the farthest place they can get so far on there current roster since the era of Dirk Nowitzki is over. I doubt that the game will be easy for warriors considering how good Luka is of under pressure.

I will bet on live game if I know the condition of each team since there's chance that Curry and Klay will have a bad accuracy just like what happened on Grizzlies game.

The Dallas Mavericks were really never a match for the Warriors. They’ve now one a single game and its very likely in my opinion that’s the only game they will end up winning. The Warriors just have too many skilled shooters and better non-star players than the Mavs have. Luca is of course amazing but he’s not enough to bring it home for them.

The thing is, the series will be back at the Warriors' homecourt and we know how good the Warriors are playing at home, therefore, I don't anymore expect that the Warriors will give Dallas another chance to win a game and give them a scare in the series, I just like the Warriors to finish the series so they could rest while waiting for the ECF result.

By the way, Celtics vs Heat will be played tomorrow, game 5 of the series, I think whoever wins tomorrow will win the ECF.
2093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 25, 2022, 01:02:14 PM
KO result is the only way to ensure that the fight is fair, when it comes to the judges, not everyone will approve of their decision because we are also biased as a fan. I don't know if we can expect an honest judging in this fight if it goes to the scorecards because we know that Pacman was once cheated in this country.

Of course, Haney will be trying to win by knock out but that's hard to get since Kambosos always train hard and is always at the peak at the time of the fight, if the fight is too close, the hometown decision will play a big factor on the judges' decision, Haney should chase Kambosos and be more aggressive to impress the judges' of course he needs to score a lot and should hurt Kambosos if he wants to win the fight, Australian will be hostile because four titles is at stakes here and Kambosos is their boxing hero now.

It's not that because Kambasos trained hard, it's because Haney is not that as aggressive as Kambasos, he is not a KO artist IMO. You cannot compare their training as both of them are surely training hard for this undisputed title fight, so it depends on their style in the ring, and if Haney gets careless, then most likely we will see a KO.
2094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 25, 2022, 12:41:17 PM
Dallas Mavericks still managed to hold off a GSW late rally and snatched game 4. Some eyebrows raised and were curious especially when GSW bench players managed to rally in the last few minutes but were pulled out by Steve Kerr. The same curiosity on GSW before this series when Ja-less Memphis Grizzlies buried GSW and then closed their series when they played at home. I think GSW will also close this series in game 5 at home in San Francisco.
Same scenario happened during the first round against the Nuggets. I think this will be over in game 5 and the Warriors will not allow anymore that Mavs will dictate the temp, they will be dominating the game and will end with a huge margin, that's my prediction because it's a bounce back.
2095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 24, 2022, 01:37:47 PM
But most of the biases goes to the superstars, or the home fighters or promoters fighters.       
Both fighters are superstars, it's a unification fight so I think the advantage here is the fighter who are at home, and since Haney is more of a technical fighter, it will be hard for him to convince the judges to give him the win if he cannot fully dominate the fight, so the best way is just to knock out Kambasos and surely the result will be fair enough.

The only advantage of Kambosos is the venue of the fight which is located on his country, Australia, and which gives him some morale and boost of confidence if ever he needed one and nothing more. Let's just hope that this will be a good clean fight because the said country is also known to cook some fights like the famous Pacquiao-Horn fight. Nevertheless, a lot of people really expected a fair fight as this is a unification fight.

Maybe you are right, but Kambasos has the power to hurt Haney as he surprised us already during his fight with Lopez. Haney is maybe a more technical fighter but no fighter would survive in the ring if he is hit by a solid punch coming from a heavy hitter fighter. The odds say that Haney is the favorite, but it's different when they are already in the ring, and since Kambasos is fighting in his home country, that makes him more motivated to win.

We have seen a lot of upsets in boxing, so no surprise if this one will turn out to be one.
A home advantage is seen also to be one of the factors that may contribute for Kambosos win.
But we want to see a clear and honest fight of course. We don't want to see boxing fans doubting the judges' decision.
As much as possible a KO will give us assurance that the fight is not rigged or any of that sort.

KO result is the only way to ensure that the fight is fair, when it comes to the judges, not everyone will approve of their decision because we are also biased as a fan. I don't know if we can expect an honest judging in this fight if it goes to the scorecards because we know that Pacman was once cheated in this country.
2096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 24, 2022, 01:12:06 PM
Luka now experiencing what Lebron has experienced when they were dominated by the Warriors. They'll be lucky if they will win one game, and game 4 is their only chance of winning, so they should not waste that opportunity as they are at home, at least give their fans one game to enjoy.

In my own opinion, Luka is slow,he's good but he's not unstoppable.

He's not actually slow, it's his style of play that looks like he slow coz he's using his size and strength as he is a bit oversized for a point guard position.
Anyways, it's not Luka who's the problem why Warriors are beating them. It's the whole Mavs team without no experience in the big stage against a veteran team who's been living in the Finals since  2015.

Right, that is deceiving, but what Luka do is control his phase and see how the defense will react, if the defense is slow, then he might take advantage to go to the basket or shot long distance. If the defense is close then he will go for an outside pass. And he is having a good series, but the rest of the whole Mavs are struggling at this high level of basketball, and maybe that is because they don't have the experience yet. So this is their last game to proved or at least get one win.

It's not about the experience, Warriors are just the better team and that's the real reason why they beat the Mavs 3 in a row. Curry and company are too composed in the game, they never panic, they always follow the game plan and everyone is contributing.
2097  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: May 21, 2022, 09:39:22 PM
Iba naman ang sitwasyon ng Celtics sa Warriors kasi noong Game 1 kulang na kulang sila sa tao kaya naging ganon ang resulta.

Celtics vs Heat po. Smiley

Ang gustong sabihin ni mirakal siguro ay Celtics natambakan sa game1 against Heat dahil kulang ng players dahil hindi nakapaglaro doon si Marcus Smart at Horford, at nong naglaro na silang dalawa ay nakabawi at tinambakan ang pa Heat.

Sa kaso naman ng Warriors at Mavs ay halos kompleto ang roster nila, walang key players na na-injure na hindi nakapaglaro sa game na kung saan tinambakan ng Warriors ang Mavs so we can expect same result this game2 unless the adjustment for the Mavs will be working.

edit:

Grabe ganda ng panimula ng Mavs at lumamang pa sila ng 15 points pero sa isang iglap lang ay hinabol kaagad ng Warriors....gandang laro.

Oo, sakto kasi yan ang punto ko. Medyo naguluhan din ako sa reply ni @Sanitough hehe. Tinanong niya kasi sa huling post niya na may chance din kaya ang Dallas Mavericks na matabla nila ang series gaya ng ginawa ng Boston Celtics nung Game 2 nila kontra Miami Heat. Sorry kabayan Grin
Mali pala ang basi ko, hehe.. "Celtics sa Warriors" pala, ang basa ko kasi "Celtics vs Warriors", kaya mali ang comment ko. sorry.


Anyway, balik tayo sa Mavericks at Warriors. May ginawa nang adjustment sina Luka pero mas ginalingan parin talaga ng Warriors ang laban dahil karamhina sa kanila nakagawa ng double digit na puntos.

Maganda ang ginawang adjustment ng Dallas pero gumawa rin ng adjustment ang Warriors sa 2nd half kaya tinalo nila ang Dallas sa game. Siguro yan ang strenght ng Warriors, madali lang silang mag adjust, hindi katulad ng ibang team ang isang adjustment lang ginagawa sa buong game at stick na sila doon hanggang matapos.

Now that Canelo loses, I wonder who's the next opponent for GGG in September. Will he still push for a trilogy with Canelo or will change a target.


The Canelo - GGG fight is still worth having and GGG should still consider Canelo, this guy beat him and it reflects on his record and legacy that Canelo beat him, he is in the twilight of his career, so it's better to have one last fight that will redeem that loss,
Even if the money is not that huge, he should consider giving it to the community because that's what the boxing community ask and it's been a long time.

Money will be huge if the trilogy would happen, in fact, Canelo would make more money than a rematch with Bivol, but he is a warrior, he choose to have that rematch to prove that he really wins the fight, so let's hope he losses again so this trilogy will happen soon, otherwise, we might see a trilogy of Canelo vs Bivol if Canelo wins the rematch.

Dallas Mavericks is now trouble. They gave up a 19-point lead in a Conference Finals, it's alarming.

Still not an automatic win for the Warriors but the Mavericks should bounce back as much as they could next game. Game 3 is important. If they still lose it and are able to win at Game 4, it will be hard for them to return to Chase Arena with a 1-3 disadvantage. They need to even the series at all costs.

The same offensive power should be shown again by Luka's teammate or much better if more than that.

Yes, they have a chance to even the series but they gave up a huge lead. That only tells that Dallas does not have a good defense, they rely so much on their shooting but it's just that Warriors are also good so they can come back in the game, and they always win in game 2. As of now, Warriors are still undefeated at home in the playoffs, they are the only team left that is undefeated.

As what the commentators said about the Warriors, there's no such safe big lead against them because they are a team that could come back with their great offense and defense. Mavericks were able to score, they have a good shooting night but their lack of defense made them suffer in the 2nd half.

They need to win game 3 now, they are at home so no more excuses for them.
Good luck to them because if they'll allow a 3-0 lead, then most likely the series will be over in 4 or 5.

That's right, maybe we should realize now that the Warriors aren't the Suns. Warriors have the championship DNA in their blood, so they will never give up even down big time. Curry and company will make sure they'll advance in the NBA Finals again, they missed many seasons due to injury problems, and now that they are here, they will seize the moment.

Will we see a 3-0 after game 3?
TBH, it's hard to know if we will see a 3-0 on their next game but if that happens then we will know what's next already.
On the other hand, I don't see that this will end up in a 0-3. The Mavericks played really well against the top-seeded Suns on their home, so I expect the same against the Warriors and I don't think that the Mavericks will just let them go 0-3.

Even though I'm betting for the Warriors to win in this series, I still expect that this will end in at least 6 games or 7 maybe. It's time for the Warriors to regain the championship after years of tanking, getting some good draft picks and getting some good role players as well.

That's why game 3 is very important for the Mavericks. If you still remember the first round (GSW vs Nuggets, the Warriors win game 3 and they lose in game 4 that's why the series ends in game 5. So if the Mavericks lose in game 3, the same thing might happen, but if they'll win game 3, this series might be even after game 4, that's my prediction.
