2101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 19, 2021, 01:37:21 PM

It's over, the deadline has expired, you just have to think about giving Bridges a extension worth $90 million and then Ayton didn't get any max deal. And if Ayton has another break out year this season and become a free agent, what will Phoenix do? offer the max contract then? What if teams are already courting him already and giving him more money? We don't know what Robert Sarver is thinking but this is a big gamble on his side.

It's a gamble from Phoenix. Ayton deserves the max deal. He's one of the reason why they play in the finals.

If he stays healthy till next season, for sure we will see lots of courting offers for him. Stay humble and play well. It's Suns loss if he chooses to play

with a different uniform next season. Or, there are underground deal or something that gives him perks that will let him enjoy staying with the Sun,

unknown deal behind to cover that max deal issue, we never know, right?

I don't know if an underground deal is happening in the NBA, I think all the deals are transparent as it's a basis for the taxation. If Ayton would choose to play with other team after his contract expires, then we can assume that he is getting better offer than with the Phoenix, he is still young and at his age it's important for him to sell himself well so he can maximize his income while he is fully healthy.

I doubt that there will be underground deal or under the table deal in NBA.

Of course, he says that he wanted to stay with Phoenix, but with the current development he is really disappointed with how the management handles his case. Definitely Bridges getting a good extension and his other 2018 draftees getting tons of money, extensions and perks, maybe Ayton performance will be impacted by this news. For sure he still needs to play better this season for Phoenix so that he will have to get a better deal outside. And then we will see what happens next.

There's no reason for Ayton not to play well because of that news, if Phoenix is not giving him a max contract, he will surely find a team that would give him that in the future. Ayton is one of the best big men in the NBA, he is healthy and he could be very vital for the success of the team especially from a team that has a chance to win a championship.

Good luck everyone on whatever your pick tomorrow.

We will see the opening of the NBA regular season tomorrow and I'm betting on Bucks -1 as my only bet.
I would pass on the Laker as they are inconsistent during the preseason, so I'll just observe how they'll play in game 1.
2103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which alt coin is best investment for long term? on: October 18, 2021, 11:44:46 PM
If you are looking for long-term, these top 10 altcoins have met your criteria. Don't look into new projects as they are mostly in a short term, although we can make some profit from them, however, it was too risky and making a bad choice will lead to losing.

I invest more in BNB and ETH, and I also put some amounts to Axie and SOL. And the future of this investment will depend on their performance either they become long-term or short-term. But these BNB and ETH could be my long-term investment and planning to accumulate more once correction will come again.
2104  Other / Archival / Re: The beginning of the end of traditional payment processors? on: October 18, 2021, 05:58:00 PM
These traditional businesses have to compete with bitcoin in terms of fees, and that can be done by reducing the fees. However, since El Salvador promotes bitcoin, I doubt MoneyGram and Western Union will be able to survive in this business competition, and you are right, it could be the beginning of their fall as some countries are also considering to legalize bitcoin and follow the path of what El Salvador has taken.
2105  Economy / Economics / Re: What are common arguments for Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2021, 05:41:35 PM
Will this makes me rich?

That's what the newbies think of bitcoin especially those who do not have enough knowledge on it.
Ponzi schemes do exist and they are using the popularity of bitcoin by offering investments with good offers and when the investors heard of bitcoin, they are usually misleading on what bitcoin is, so they'll invest and think bitcoin is a guaranteed profit while in reality, they invest on the Ponzi scheme itself.

I think what's needed is for people to learn the basics of crypto, understanding it will reduce the risk.
2106  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it too late to buy? on: October 17, 2021, 11:01:00 PM
The problem with many newbies is that they want to enter the market just at the perfect moment, they want to enter just when a crash is ending and get out exactly at the moment the bull market is over and this is simply not realistic to do, we must accept that our timing most likely is never going to be perfect and yet find a way to be profitable under those circumstances, I still think the price we are seeing right now is a great opportunity to invest in bitcoin for the long term, but if others do not see it that way I am fine with that I just do not want to hear from them when they complain about not investing in the market when they had the opportunity.
Not exactly the thing that I know with many of them.

Majority of the newbies are scared to buy during the downs and dumps. They're only encouraged to buy when they see it started to move positively.

They're rushing when that time comes and they're regretting that they've bought late but in fact, when the market is just passive they don't buy and see the opportunity within it.
And the usual thing I see is that they mostly riding on the hypes and don't stay long, they sell them ASAP once they are in profit. Not that really that smart idea but they are in profit, unlike the others. And this is far different from the real investors who will take risks buying during the dip and hold longer (if possible).

Well, I'm not going to wonder why newbies look like this as they are just about to learn from their experience. But these people will not able to survive when the market turns to bearish.
2107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 15, 2021, 08:59:33 PM
Congrats to the SMB Beermen for winning game 6, now we  will see a game 7 in the semi Finals and I hope it will be a close game like in game 1. SMB really showed their heart, they don't want to quit as they want to win a championship again. IMO, if SMB wins the series, I think they will become the champion in this bubble.

They will have a higher chance of winning the next gain since they rally and managed to win game 6 despite the hard effort of the TNT. This is a must-watch game for us who grow up watching this prestigious league. But TNT will not give the game easily since they've been known to beat their opponent devastatingly after a high score deficit. SMB will just need to make sure to fight until the last minute of the last quarter to secure the win.

It's hard to predict actually, both teams are good teams, so in game 7, I guess we just have to choose which team we think will win base on our emotion as the last game of the series might be a very physical game, and one thing I'm sure of, is I will put a bet on the under due to the aforementioned reason.

As a fan, I would go to SMB despite of all those possibilities that TNT are also capable of winning this series. We've seen the rollercoaster between these two amazing teams, both can equalize the efforts of one another.

SMB adjusted once again. It's a team effort that gave them the win, while with the TNT aside from Castro, there's no help from other stars.

Game 7 will be the deciding game, whoever wins for sure fans have been given a very entertaining games. Good luck!  Wink

Good luck too. Whatever team you will choose we still have over a day to think about what team we will put our money in game 7 and I hope we will not regret it. No major injuries on star players for both teams, they should give everything they have in the tank for this last game, and for me, I don't mind losing my bet as long as I will see a very entertaining game, and would be nice if we will consider betting on the OT as well.
2108  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Crypto online sabong? on: October 15, 2021, 08:32:01 PM

Ang mga audience na sabong ay yung hindi talaga mahilig sa online gambling, na pa online lang sila dahil no choice ngayon kasi pandemic. Madali lang kasi ang transaction asa online sabong, load kalang ng GCASH ayus na, samantalang sa bitcoin or crypto, need mo pa sa coins.ph at yung price is napaka volatile pa, so hindi magandang option lalo na sa mga nagtitipid.

Tama ka riyan, mukhang complicated rin sa kanila ang crypto at maaring mas matalo pa sila dahil sa volatility, pero ang pinaka point ko talaga ay ang mga taga labas na bansa na pwedeng mag bet gamit ang crypto. Katulad ng sa atin, kung mahilig ka sa sportsbetting like betting on NBA or PBA, di ba kahit taga ibang bansa pwede silang sumugal sa betting sites dahil yung PBA available sa mga popular crypto betting sites.

Sang ayon din ako na talagang mahirap mahikayat yung mga taong sanay na sa ibang way ng online transaction at bago pa pang sa crypto pero yung mga nakakintindi pwede rin naman silang maimarket, kagaya nga ng sinabi mo na katulad nung PBA kahit nasa ibang bansa ka pwede ka pa ring tumaya dahil merong mga gambling site na kinocover and PBA, sana lang meron ding ganun pagdating sa online sabong.

Crypto lover na mahilig din sa sabong yun ung mga tamang tao na pwedeng magpasimula nitong online betting na to' hindi natin alam kung kelan or kung mangyayari pero nasa crypto tayo at malawak ang pwedeng paggamitan hindi natin alam baka sa mga sususnod na taon meron ng nagkainterest at magpasimula.

Maaring in the future kung mas marami ng mag adopt sa crypto, pero sa ngayon, masyado pang mahigpit ang regulation ng gambling sa pilipinas, limited nga rin lang ang mga gambling sites na regulated at ang crypto at wala pa masyadong gumagamit ng crypto as payment system, kadalasan tinuturing itong investment ng mga Filipino.
2109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: price of CAKE $50 realistic? on: October 15, 2021, 03:01:56 PM
What prospects do you think the CAKE coin has? It's worth $20 now and used to be $40 (ATH). This DEFI token is for trading and stacking. I plan to hold it (and stake it as well) and sell it for $50. What do you think is a good idea?
Cake has a massive improvement on its price this year, I'm not sure how it plays next year and when the market is in bearish season. That is probably a test for them and to see how it is able to survive from the crisis is quite not to know yet.

Many people will say and predicting a multiplied price from what it has today ($20). I can't say it won't but the possibility still remains as long as the investors keep trusting the CAKE project.

2110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most Popular Cryptocurrencies Of 2021 on: October 15, 2021, 02:26:49 PM
2021 had been really up and down year for the crypto currencies in the first quarter we had seen huge growth but with the second quarter everything had  been changes we seen market crash and countries deciding banning which also make huge impact on the market some of the coin even perform best in 2021 like solana Matic which had really very popular and More and more project is launching on these platform which make it more popular among community
Solana and Matic only won because many people are interested in it at this time and they do not see about the prohibition that has occurred in several countries against cryptocurrencies so that the popularity of Solana and Matic has increased sharply this year.
To me Solana and Matic are worthy candidates for the 2021 up-rally of alts. Both have had massive developments and since they started entering the launchpad markets more and more found it easier to build on them as opposed to ETH, which in turn led to more of the new projects finding themselves looking at the two networks as possibility to enter the market.
They are actually making their history among altcoins. With such potentials, rallying prices wasn't impossible but it surely will come anytime. I'm very optimistic about these coins especially for Solana to have such a huge spike. But of course, when we think about long-term investment, most of the investors won't consider new coins for that over the old reputed coins.

But with this year, I see how these new coins give a huge profit compared with the leading coins which give an interest for the people. The convincing look that these new coins like you've mentioned is making way for them to get recognized as well and this results in their price surge.

2112  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Crypto online sabong? on: October 15, 2021, 11:50:47 AM
Tanong ko lang mga kabayan, since sikat ang online sabong sa Pinas, meron bang gambling site na tumatanggap ng crypto na regulated na rin at the same time?

Kung meron man, ano anong mga sites ito?
Kung wala, may chance kaya na mangyari itong Crypto online sabong?

Posible itong may chance pagdating ng panahon, dahil kung may isang tao na magtuturo sa isang sabongero na mag adopt ng cryptocurrency sa kanilang betting transaction. Karamihan kasi ngayun gcash ginagamit, eh kung halimbawa kaya cryptocurrency gagamitin tingin ko mas madali nilang magagawa kapag dumaan sa Blockchain and pera nila. May kakaibang experience and hatid neto at malaki ang potential ng kanilang pera kahit volatile ito pagdating sa galaw ng presyo.

For transparency purposes, maganda rin na sa wala (btc add 1), meron (btc add 2), and draw (btc add3). Medyo complicated pero mas safe sa mga bettors lalo na yung mga malalaking taya. hehe.. Idea ko lang naman, pero gusto ng tao talaga na safe at madali kaya siguro sa website nalang tayo mag gagamble, tanging purpose lang naman ng crypto at para mas dumami pa ang bettors, di lang sa pinas pati sa ibang bansa rin kung allowed ng PAGCOR.

Medyo complicated pero mas safe yung setup na ganyan, para sure yung paglalagyan nung mga taya at hindi mashuffle, pero sabi mo nga eh yung mga mananaya eh gusto ng safe kaya mag aantay yun na meron talagang centralize na venue para dun na lang sila maglalagay ng mga pera nila, sana nga lang meron talagang mag pakita ng interest at masimulan yung ganitong klasenf sugal na pwede natin magamit ang crypto natin.

Ang mga audience na sabong ay yung hindi talaga mahilig sa online gambling, na pa online lang sila dahil no choice ngayon kasi pandemic. Madali lang kasi ang transaction asa online sabong, load kalang ng GCASH ayus na, samantalang sa bitcoin or crypto, need mo pa sa coins.ph at yung price is napaka volatile pa, so hindi magandang option lalo na sa mga nagtitipid.

2114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Now the price is bullish on: October 14, 2021, 03:52:22 PM
It's supposed to be a run and we are just looking at a walk.  Grin I am waiting for the next pump and it could be soon. I think it's just correcting into its rightful place and soon the real bull will come and I won't even regret selling nothing from this recent hike.
It moves back at a range of $2000 but all of a sudden it goes back which I think is a good sign that the bull run is not really over.
I'd rather wait, and if it goes the other way then I could just wait more.
You are not just experimenting with the market but your trust towards Bitcoin drives you to think very optimistically for the future. (Maybe) you're right in your decision, only a few people did this while the others (even like me) will take the opportunity to sell some during the price spike. But seems it wasn't a big deal for you to lose this chance, well, that is up to you.

Anyways, I feel being positive also for the incomings. I'm just uncertain how far the market drives high but seeing another ATH this year was not impossible. We'll be looking forward to seeing that but I can't assure that my holdings are still intact as it is possible I sell them along the way. 
2115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: October 14, 2021, 11:53:09 AM
The latest news according to Kambosos himself is that the fight will be made in November 13.

Quote
“I am hearing the date of the fight could be November 13. I am ready to fight today or any date Eddie Hearn says. I am not the one who has been postponing the Lopez v Kambosos fight.”

https://fightnews.com/kambosos-lopez-on-nov-13/122250

It's still tentative date though, just a month away from today, not sure if this is viable. But we all know that they have been training for a year now and fans are eagerly waiting for it to happen this year. Both are confident to win, so let see how it goes next month.

They are under a new promoter so let's hope that this will finally push through.

The fight should happen this year, they still have time and since they have been training for this fight, one month from now is already enough for them to prepare for that fight. However, since it's just tentative, I think we should wait for the final announcement.
2116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 14, 2021, 11:23:10 AM
The guy is not getting the fight and the money that he deserves, after he knocks out Tete, he defended his title to low-rank boxers the guy is daring top boxers to fight him, but these promoters are not giving him this kind of fight, Casimero will win this fight against Butler but after this fight, it's up to his managers to get him a good fight that he deserves, it's not on Casimero anymore it's on the team that handles him now.

The good news for Casimero now is that his team has signed a contract with Probellum and maybe this promotional company will take care of Quadro Alas' career from here on. Guess who helped him sign with Probellum, it's the Donaires, especially Rachel who just a few months ago were having social media spat with Casimero and now they are the ones helping him.

Quote
Jason Casimero, brother and boxing coach of John Riel, disclosed they have signed a contract with Probellum.

So what would happen in the future?

Since Donaire and Casimero are under the same promoter, are we still gonna have a chance to see them fight again, or it will not happen anymore?

If this new promoter would also help the two to have a big fight especially on Inoue's fight, then I guess it's a good move for him.
2117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We enter a new era of heavy regulations on: October 13, 2021, 11:04:23 PM
We are going to expect this thing as the government will surely find a way to take control of this and having a strict regulation in the use of cryptocurrency could help for them to succeed.

Yeah, we started to feel it now as even exchanges are now asking for KYC because they are also urged by the government otherwise no permits will be released for them.
https://www.pymnts.com/cryptocurrency/2021/crypto-regulation-and-possible-executive-order-show-top-down-approach/

Well, they have the reason for this and I think we have to put this in consideration since it was for the good of everyone and helping to stop any act of money laundering and illegal activities in which these people are using cryptocurrencies.
2118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How you choose projects for investment on: October 13, 2021, 10:19:20 PM
but in my opinion the most effective is participating in the discussion in the telegram group, a good project will certainly have interactive discussions between developers and investors.
It cannot be the most indicator to determine the quality of a project. Many scam projects that the team members were very active to communicate with the community previously, but they disappeared at the end of the day. Active or not the team members can be one of the indicators to analyze a new project, but you cannot make it be the ultimate indicator. However, each project may have different characteristics of team members or developers. Some developers can be very active, while others prefer to communicate once it is necessary only.


Telegram is one of the mediums used for the scammers to find a victim of their devil intention. A lot of people had lost their money because someone give them such a promising speech and offered discounts with bigger rewards but in the end, they all gone after getting the money. I certainly have to agree that is not the basis for investment, it must be the credibility of the project is very important as this could give us some assurance for ROI.
2119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 13, 2021, 11:17:26 AM
Next opponent for the Lakers are the Golden State Warriors again. 
They will rest today and they will play tomorrow. I would not bet on the Lakers or the Warriors, it's hard to tell if they will play seriously or not, so it doesn't give sense to whatever our analysis would be in this game. Maybe let's wait until the Lakers will start winning then that's the time we will start betting on this team.

Well, that is the fact that simply bettors need to see and I think you are great in seeing this, but this is the preseason, players would surely ignore a win and will not perform well, or teams will surely save a player from getting injured, but I have bet for GSW for this match, just because I am a fan,

And we already know who won the game, 99 - 111 was the score, and GSW win this preseason match, and just like I am saying even though some team is saving players from getting injured in Preseason, so Stephen Curry and Draymond Green sit out the game while LeBron James and other notable players from the Lakers have played the game, although I think Lakers is really not that serious in their team play.

It's a good sign that the Warriors are stronger this season, and lucky for those who take the Warriors to win as they are +7.5 in this game and for sure that Moneyline bet is good enough to enjoy. I hope people will not create a story regarding the struggle of the Lakers, this is just preseason, they can always make a statement that they don't take it seriously.

Tomorrow we have Bucks vs Jazz, this is a good match, what's the majorities pick on this game?
2120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 13, 2021, 10:50:03 AM
My bets for today:

Magnolia -3.5 @1.92 boosted
SMB ML @1.90

An SMC team is surely to take a seat in the finals, Magnolia is just too lethal for Meralco to take down for now. Almazan is not 100% percent healthy so he is not a big help to Meralco even if he will play, it will just aggravates his injury so better for him to rest.

SMB vs TNT series is just too hard to predict for me so i just bet using my heart this time as a Beermen fan  Grin. I'm okay though if TNT would take this series as for the fans to see another faces in the finals this time. 

I see your point. Magnolia is very capable to take the first sit, unless they will careless like Clippers way back. But talent wise they really have a good edge against the opposing team, and just like what I have mentioned without Almazan The Pinatubo Bro will keep going inside, then here comes the guards of magnolia, If Lee will explode again this series will be finished, not far to happen Roll Eyes

SMB fan here too!  Wink I want to see them playing the same level as how they dominated TNT last game 4. If that happens, they will take the lead and have the greater chance of winning this series.

By way, how about the rigging stuff?  Grin Cheesy kidding aside Good Luck !



Positive news for the Bolts.

Bolts get Almazan, Jackson, Jamito back in time for Game 5

Bolts look healthy again, they will be able to help their team in this elimination game, however, I think I would agree with bisdak40 as it's too late for them, they won't be 100% healthy and the Magnolia are still very healthy and a stronger team to defeat them.

It's positive news but I don't see it as big news that would change my view in game 5. I still think and believe that it will be the last game of Meralco in the series and Magnolia will win to take a rest. I doubt Magnolia would struggle to play the Bolts with 3 players back in the lineup, the most important person of the 3 is only Almazan, if he is not 100%, he will only be abuse inside as the Magnolia has a lot of bigs that are too aggressive.

That's very positive as Meralco avoided elimination by winning the game. 102-98 is the final score, Pinto and Malikso both delivered for the team while Almazan with some good contribution with 10 rebounds and 9 points, without him, maybe the series is over.
