I will tail with your Pelicans bet @danherbias07.

The Pelicans is a slight underdog here and it's very attractive @1.91. And yes, they really need this win to keep that 6th place and they are riding on a 2 game winning streak, while the King is going to play coming from a lost to OKC.

These two teams both need to win. If I'm not mistaken, they can still make it to the top 6 and not play in the Play-In Tournament. I'm picking the Pelicans for this match because the Sacramento Kings have been losing lately. Well also the Pelicans are 5-5 in their last games. The Pelicans have the highest chance to clinch the playoffs and will not play in the play-in tournament. This battle for playoffs spot for Western conference is very interesting. Good luck on our picks.

And just like that, the Pelicans won the game with a blow out, although they allow the Kings to make a comeback and put down the lead to 12 points, but Zion will have nothing to do with them making the game close.

So him, CJ and Trey Murphy who has a outstanding shooting night specially in the first quarter and establishing their big lead. Celtics losing to the Knicks with Brunson having a big 39 points to lead NYK.

Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
When you talk about Bitcoin is often considered a strongest investment option for different ways and buying and selling in a long run is very important in bitcoin. Let take it was the first cryptocurrency and remains the most widely recognized and accepted, giving it greater liquidity and market stability compared to other cryptocurrencies around the crypto space

It's the prime mover, no doubt about it, but it terms of ROI, there could be a lot of altcoins that can give us that. But the problem is that it's hard to find and there is greater risk. As compare to Bitcoin wherein we can accumulate and look for the long term perspective of it.

Bitcoin has a limited supply, with only 21 million coins ever to be mined, which can potentially drive up its value over time due to scarcity. Additionally, Bitcoin is often seen as a store of value and a hedge against inflation, making it attractive to investors seeking to diversify their holdings.me I prefer to hold bitcoin and sell in the long run because it worth all it take to gain from it in a long run.

And with the incoming block halving, the demand will surely go up as the supply is dwindling and be scarce as ever. So for me, it is still buy region even if we are in the $70k'ish. The bull run is incoming, there are still a good chance that we double our money in the next couple of years.
223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: April 11, 2024, 08:38:16 PM
To be honest, after seeing what Netflix does and what their narrative is, I would be more surprised if it was streamed on ESPN or any sports channel. There is a partnership between Netflix and Paul's MVP (Most Valuable Promotions). Netflix is sticking to ‘sports-adjacent’ streaming and that's why it is on Netflix, a very good deal for both parties.

By the way, it's kinda funny how Jake Paul turned from a Disney kid to Youtuber and then into a boxer. He is a very smart businessman, a very impressive for his age, he deserves merit for that.

We can say that a boy has grown up into a man. I dont know people hate him so much. He has stopped recording silly movies and content that degrade younger generation, and started promoting sport. For me this is much better (even though he is popularizing violence) than uploading stupidity like 24h challenges or wasting money on silly stuff. I might not support his strategy of building fame based on other people fame, but that is how promotion work today.
People hate him because he is fake, he fights retired boxers and makes himself cool by beating once amazing (now retired) 50 years old boxers. After all of these, he calls himself a professional boxer and in his record he writes down the defeat of legendary names. So, many people think that he is just a cheater, a liar who makes millions of dollars and I personally agree with that because that's true but I always admit that he is a very smart businessman, he is goddamn super in marketing and we can't take that from him but calling himself a boxer is a shame, he never fights professionals.

It's all for the exhibition matches, and for money, and that's why many hard core boxing fans are totally against it. But as time goes by, there could be fans that soften their stance against Jake Paul or any of his exhibition fights as this is the new trend now. So yeah, hate him or love him, he is a smart businessman who turn his popularity and market it so hard that he is one of the biggest now and have a chance to fight the legend Tyson.

@TopTort777 - the only fighter that I know of is Loma, who fought for the world title in his 2nd fight against Salido but lost. But then won his first title in his 3rd fight.

I’m a little bit surprised to see the Celtics lock up Jrue Holiday for the next 4 years for 135 million dollars. I’m not sure how old Jrue is, but that seems like sort of a long deal for an older guy on a team that’s already got 2 young max players. I think the genius management over in Boston might be starting to make mistakes as they struggle to get Taytum a chip.

Yes, it's a big surprise to me as well, and there are fans who says that he is overrated. And I guess they see Derrick White leaving in free agency that's why they lock him for good. But his age though, we really don't know what will happen to him in the next 4 years.

He will be like 37 years after this contract, and probably will retire after that.  Smiley.

I thought that Clippers might upset the Suns and could win even without their big players, as Hyland scores 37 points. But the Suns finally made a push in the last 5 minutes of the game.
226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Meme" coins are ruining everything on: April 10, 2024, 09:28:02 PM
Yes, crypto will do fine even with meme coins. And I think that there will forever be meme coins. I am not expecting all the memecoins that we see today to keep existing. The truth is that a majority of them will fail, and only the ones that have the capacity to live long will be the ones that will stay. It’s just the same way we have seen so many altcoins come and go over the course of the past years. 

If a "meme" coin has strong community backing, it could last for a long time. Dogecoin was once thought to be a failure, only to succeed after it gained the attention of Elon Musk. Now it's hard to believe it'll go away anytime soon. The same could happen with other coins such as Shiba Inu and Pepe. While "meme" coins don't hold any value, they're a great way to learn how crypto works due to their inexpensiveness. You can send money around the world without "breaking the bank" (subject to the Blockchain's network fees).

Crypto newcomers will surely get into "meme" coins before trying out serious project such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. As long as scammers are taken down, there should be nothing to worry about. Who knows what future will "meme" coins have? Cheesy

If you ask me, meme coins aren’t a good start for people who are looking to get into crypto. The great start is Bitcoin. Learning from who created it and why it was created, and then Ethereum and other altcoins, also learning why they were created. People who join crypto today are 99% likely doing it to make money, so if they want to learn how to make money from crypto and they’re starting on a risky ground. That’s dead.

So true, meme coins are not good for starters here, and maybe they got this idea from so called crypto influencers that they can make a lot of money by investing on this meme coins. But that is wrong in the beginning, they should start from Bitcoin or the top altcoins.

I have nothing against those who invest on meme coins, but it's a different risk and I don't have that kind of appetite to begin with. I don't like to take that risk and plunge to meme coin because I did that once and it didn't turn out good with a $1k investment and lost everything.
227  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price history during Eid al-Fitr on: April 10, 2024, 03:19:57 PM
There is no correlation, as the Arab and Islamic months are based on the lunar calendar, which differs by about 10 days from the solar calendar aka Gregorian calendar. Therefore, it will always be like setting a variable date and checking the price of Bitcoin. You will not find any correlation, especially in the short term. Bitcoin price changes have always been linked to the four-year cycle, and even this is used to measure the price in the long term.
Why they do really always love on trying out to connect everything to Bitcoins price even on this Eid al-Fitr event or whatever we do have. Well, its not really that a bad thing because any sentiments could really be connected but its true and i do really that agree on what you have said that this is really something that having no correlation or connection no matter what. Even into those past events or dates will really be having no assurance that it would really be making on the same effect or having that impact anytime specially with these events. We've seen price isnt really that moving that much.
Come in mind that even on an ordinary day which Bitcoins price could drop in huge percentage without even knowing on whats the real reason behind it.

This is why this market is always been that unpredictable. This is why its not shocking that people has always have to say.  Cheesy

And that's what I notice too, what I vividly remember is the Chinese Lunar year, maybe it's 2018-2019 that others correlate this festivities and says that the market is going to bounce back because at that time, the price is going down as we are experiencing the bear market already.

Lo and behold, after that, the price didn't go up the way people are expecting. And on the contrary, the prices continuously goes on a downward spiral. So we might conclude that there is no correlation whatsoever. Investors and traders are going to buy (and sell) whenever they want, simply as that.

This is the first time I have seen something like this. I always choose the slots manually by looking into RTP, volatility, free spins mode and some other features. Never thought to play a slots through a random pick. Can you add some more filters on the search option? I would like to see another filter of hit-ratio or volatility of the slots. Some slots game 'Max win' and RTP information showing as unknown on the result. I hope you will work to add those missing information in the future.
I'm curious to know what is this site about, the site is not accessible for me because it gives me 403 Forbidden.
Looking at your comment, it seems that you are able to open this site so you can give some suggestions.
Is this site giving recommendation on what slots to play randomly?
If it is pure random and visitors cant do filter based on some different things as you mentioned, then what's the point?
One more important thing to be added on the filter is about restriction, because most providers has their own country restriction.

Yes, basically that's what this site is all about,

Have actually been hearing many people saying that they gamble for fun or enterteinment And not for the money , this has also been My perception Towards gambling If not for the small money I often make Sometiemes But this idea changed this evening when i went To a game house To play some betting games.

This evening i actually realized that some people see gambling as a means of livelihood, i Was At a game house today watching some Guys play snooker betting  And their games where actually funny And entertaining till one of the Gamblers lost all his money to his fellow Gambler And he became very violent And started a fight with his colleaque that resulted the attention of the Police Force. The Police arrested everyone including the owner of the betting shop And insisted that we will all bail ourselves with money before we can go home freely .

This idea gave me the impression that some people can be very dangerous as a result of lossing money while gambling And i aslo learnt My lessons today . However, i Dont know If you have actually experienced such things At the betting shops And If yes How do you feel or react At the situation? .

It's bound to happen and I will say it could be the norm of some countries, same here in pool games, huge amount of money in the line, and at the end of the day there could be winners. But what make it dangerous is the people around who trash talk that why most of the time it ended in violence. I'm seen this kind of things happen when I was a little, so curious to watch pool games with money on the line because there are a lot of people in the area.

Usually this happens in not so good places, or like in slums (no offense meant), nothing about just good hand to hand fight in the streets. What I'm afraid of if one of those people who bring knives or a gun and when they lose their beat, they started targeting the other side.

A lot of questionable injuries happening at the end of the season suddenly. I think teams are legitimately asking superstars to fake injuries to sit the end of the season now so the team can avoid fines. Did I read that Anthony Davis didn’t play because of a headache? Giannis seemingly is out with a leg cramp? Hmmm…

AD didn't play because he was poke in the eye by Kyle Anderson in their lost to the Wolves, so not sure if that could be considered as head ache or what.

And with that, no AD with the Lakers, the Warriors beat them in their homecourt. But it looks like the Warriors has turn back the clock with a vintage performance, hitting much of their 3's. And Steph and Klay had their rhythm, including Draymond who hit like 4-5 three's in this game.

Not much has change in their position though, Lakers is still 9th and Warriors 10th.

I made same post in Altcointalk.
Can't really start writing another different speech so will do well to copy it here.

Quote
I never knew this was possible so usually just copy the address and send without confirming much. Well turns out that was a big mistake on my part. Never knew that clipboard can do such. I don't know if it's a malware, I ended up using an address that wasn't mine and funny holds some units of Bitcoin.

Still confused how something like this could happen,  but try to be cautious and don't feel too lazy to cross check your address before sending or posting. Recall Bitcoin transactions are irreversible after 6 confirmations, once confirmed it's gone. You can tell the wallet address it went to but not the owner. Except they are careless,  which I doubt they are
.


I would suggest using a phone or system you don't usually use to browse the web to hold your coins or better still an Hardware wallet.

Yes, this is the obvious copy and paste malware that has been plaguing us crypto enthusiast for years as we have been a target by criminals criminals by creating this malware and then uses a lot of ways to get to us.

As for the phone or hardware wallet, the latter is the better, it's better design to hold our coins for longer and security is very high as compare to a mobile phone that you don't know might break in the next couple of years.

With 3 games remaining this season, in order for the Lakers to get at least the 8th seed, they must win those 3 remaining games, and either of the three, the Kings, Pelicans, or Suns, need to lose twice so the Lakers would secure the 8th seed. Lakers' remaining games are GSW, MEM, and NOP. Lakers arguably can win these 3 games. While those three teams have these games left,.

Suns: LAC, LAC, SAC, MIN
Sac: OKC, NOP, PHX, POR
Pelicans: POR, SAC, GSW, LAL

Looking at this, all three teams can possibly have a record of 2-2 to end this season, and with that, it can really help the Lakers a lot to go up in the standings. Let's just hope the Lakers do their part and win those three games they have.

Does it really matter where the Lakers finish in the standings right now? I mean, if we assume that the Leakers will have no problems with their play-in tournament opponents, then their first-round playoff opponents will be either the Wolves or the Nuggets. In other words, the first round of the playoffs will be very difficult for the Lakers regardless of whether they finish the season in 9th or 8th, 7th spot in the standings.

You might be right but the point of contention is that this teams are still fighting it out and obviously they want to be in a better position. Lebron is competitive that he didn't want to be in the 9th or 10th place I reckon.

And so they are going to compete and win as many games in the regular season and have that bragging rights on the team that they are going to beat and who will they face in the play-in.
233  Economy / Speculation / Re: another ATH , 71k and still climbing. on: April 09, 2024, 03:15:01 PM
As the halving comes too close, buying demand tends to increase making the price of Bitcoin surging high like we are in ATH every day.
More pumps are we going to expect in the coming days but of course, some corrections can be possible as well. With the uphill climb of Bitcoin's price these days, many people will take advantage of the situation and sell their coins for a profit. If ever the price hits $100k within this year, that gonna be the new ATH for me and I certainly be selling my Bitcoin that time.

Yes, and with that we have a pump to $71k-$72k in the last 24 hours.s

Unfortunately, it wasn't maintain as the price dip again to $69k, it's not a huge drop, and from what I'm seeing, there is another profit taking from short term speculators or day traders. But still, we should be looking at the long picture here.

We are still not yet in halving and so we should remain calm and patience and wait for the halving to happen first and see how it goes for this year.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK 18th MAY 2024 re-scheduled on: April 09, 2024, 02:42:45 PM
The fight is taking place next month and one thing has been almost constant from when the contracts were signed, the promotion is exceptionally muted. I cannot recall any important heavyweight boxing clash ever receiving less news and promotion. When you consider this is the first heavyweight unification fight since 1999, the silence is baffling.

This fight should happen and after I watch how Usyk climbs the ladder from unifying all belts Cruser Weight to be a champion in the heavyweight right now and the only one left for him is Fury to beat, I want to watch and cheer him in his journey to become Unified Heavyweight Champion this year. we all want to see this one and this is undoubtedly a big fight compared to Ngannoue vs Fury because Usyk is more capable of beating Fury and has a high chance to unify all the Heavyweight Belts. They need to make it happen this year since both of them are about to reach their limit and settling it next month is the only way to satisfy the fans of whoever wins the fight.

Big belly has over a month to train harder. I believe Fury is determined because he has no choice, he is cornered and it will be a shame if he ducks once again which is normal to him. But I still believe he won't enter the ring unless he is performing well in his sparring sessions. He already trimmed down in weight as expected and now he needs to maintain it.

His face is on the line here, if he cancelled it again, it will be over for him. The Saudi's might not give him any opportunity in the future as we all know that honor is a big word for them. And if Fury uses another excuses, so once t hat happens, it's done.

It's good that some video of Usyk has surface, so at least this fight is still happening. Fury might be secretly and trainer harder. But I don't think he will likely lost some pounds in this fight or his "big belly". He will need that extra weight again to put on Usyk when they clinch, just like what he did against Wilder.
235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 09, 2024, 02:22:58 PM
I think the Lakers purposely lost to Minnesota yesterday to give them the top seed in the West. It would be a bad start for any of the teams who will land in the 8th seed if they will play against the Denver. Both Warriors and the Lakers have not won against the Denver this season, so that means an early vacation for them LOL. Only the Kings stands a good chance against the Denver as they are 3-1 against the Denver. However, the playoffs has a different atmosphere and intensity, that doesn't mean the Kings can get an easy W against the defending champs.  Pelicans on the other end is 1-2 against the Denver, so again, It's not gonna be a good start for them if they land in any spot in 7th or 8th seed if they will play against the Nuggets.

What if with what they did the Lakers will end up at 7? I mean they would still have to face the Nuggets at that standing, and if they want a top 8, they need to beat the Warriors which is also another problem as that will be a do or die game. I think they really don't do that purposely, as much as possible gaining the top 6 will give them assurance that they'll be in the playoffs, so every game matters to them.

That would be tough for them as they'll be in a do or die situation, they can't go with the Warriors as this team although have struggled in the season is a championship team. They had become more dangerous now as they are healthy of course without Kuminga but last season Kuminga not really utilized that much.

But speaking of Kuminga, there's a good news about him based on the latest update.

Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga to return on Sunday vs. Jazz after missing six games

So with that, they'll be facing a healthy Warriors in the playoffs.

That's late news though, the Warriors has face the Jazz already and won that game and Jonathan Kuminga scored 21 points already. Curry is the missing piece and so is Wiggins that game but still they won though as the Warriors was led by Thompson.

They will be facing the Los Angeles Lakers next.

Bucks vs Celtics, will the Bucks continue with their losing streak here? What you guys think?
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 08, 2024, 09:24:05 PM
He is still in his prime, so I think even if he losses here, he can still make more fights and still be as popular. Of course, if he losses here, he will take a tune up fight, just like when he losses to Tank Davis.

And after he won, fans are hype again. Manny losses many fights and still with his charisma, still remain as one of boxing sweepstakes up to his retirement. Ryan though needs to be a belt holder to just continue with his hype an fans still wanting to see him.

Ryan already knows how to stay popular even if he losses, so he will stay and will have more fights. There's no way he will beat Haney, but in case he will, that would make him a top favorites and that champions will dying to fight him due to the big money he could generate in any match up.

Just imagine, this guy already has a possible fight after Haney as he is making noise on Cruz as his possible next opponent, so that's another money coming for him, and Ryan making drama in boxing makes him so popular that fans have invested on his story even though we aren't sure if he is telling the truth or not.

Pacquiao, De La Hoya and the other legends were big PPV stars even when the times they lose because they are championship level fighters. They bounced back and became champions again and again.

Meanwhile Ryan is yet to fight for his title against Haney. I think he made the wrong decision to pick Haney. How will Ryan grabs a belt when his skills are too inferior to the champions holding the belts? If he gets humiliated by Haney, I don't think he will become a PPV star again. Maybe his handlers will try another PPV event in the future again but it will fail until he gets a real belt. The underserving Romero was his biggest chance of grabbing a belt but sadly the politics stopped it from happening. But hopefully, Ryan can land his big bombs on Haney to pull an upset. Cheesy

It was all for the money I guess that's why he chooses Haney, and so he bypass Romero. If I'm not mistaken, they are 3-3 in the amateurs that Ryan even at pro ranks is very confident that he  can pull a upset at this level of Haney.

So we will see if the risk is not going to pay for Ryan in the future. It's was just my hunch that even if he takes a L here, in his next comeback fight, fans are still go crazy on him maybe it's the way he promoted his fight or his looks and charisma.

What happened to the Rockets? It turns out my predictions for the Rockets were correct; they only won around 1-3 games in their last ten games. From 10-game winning streak, they are now 10-5. It's a shame; if they had continued winning, they could have still made it to the Play-in tournament. But now, they're completely out for the play-in tournament. What do you think, if Alperen Sengun didn't miss the remaining games will Rockets make even the Play-In Tournament? Better next time for the Houston Rockets!

When they lost to the Nuggets thus snapping their winning streak, I think most of them got tired already, and losing to the Warriors next when there was hype on that game, and even one Rockets have a shirt saying Warriors come to play or something and they they lost, I think that is the final nail in the coffin for them.

But as what we have said, they've shown that they can be a team to reckon with. So next season, maybe we will see a different Rockets when Sengun is back and they learn a lot from their winning streak this season.

This is not about Pitbull being afraid. This is about Pitbull challenging Ryan Garcia, however, what is this challenge about? Is this about money and popularity? Ryan Garcia is not a champion hehehe. King Ry should be the boxer who is issuing these challenges but why is Pitbull treating King Ry like a champion? Pitbull should challenge Teofimo Lopez or Subriel Matías, I reckon.

In any case, on Haney vs. King Ry, I predict that this might not go to the decision. Haney is very much stronger in this higher weight division. King Ry with his mental instability might surrender before round 9.

I guess so, despite Ryan not anymore a champion but his popularity still stay. Every champion wants to fight him to gain more money and I'm sure the same thing happened in the mind of Pitbull. But before that will happen, maybe let's wait for the outcome of the fight (Garcia vs Haney), because if haney will win, what Pitbull wants might be given but if Ryan will wn, you know this guy would ask more and will challenge a fighter that could help him a bigger paycheck, I'm think Ryan vs Tank II, is it possible?

However, how long can King Ry stay very popular? I reckon after more losses, he will not be a good choice as an opponent for boxers who want to become big names in the sport.

On King Ry being a champion vs. Tank Davis 2, I agree! However, King Ry should not make a stupid agreement with a hustler like Tank Davis. Also King Ry will not win vs. Haney. It should be Devin Haney vs. Tank heheheh.

He is still in his prime, so I think even if he losses here, he can still make more fights and still be as popular. Of course, if he losses here, he will take a tune up fight, just like when he losses to Tank Davis.

And after he won, fans are hype again. Manny losses many fights and still with his charisma, still remain as one of boxing sweepstakes up to his retirement. Ryan though needs to be a belt holder to just continue with his hype an fans still wanting to see him.

As far as I am concerned gambling is not the same for everyone many people prefer to play online casinos and many people bet in land based casinos. But in the digital age, online casinos are gaining more popularity. Everyone is able to sit and bet at their own pace and bet with their friends. Nowadays people prefer to bet from home rather than going to the casino. Land-based casinos may gradually decline in value.

I disagree though, haven't you step in a land base casinos lately?

There are still a lot of players going into it and land base are going strong. No doubt that online games are now on the rise, but the experience that traditional base can give to gamblers are in pale comparison when you play online.

The atmosphere in a land base casinos, but the socializing and then seeing gamblers around is a different thing.

But as long as Wiggins can contribute in their defense then he will be good. Kuminga is still out though, and so Wiggins got back his position again and playing like 80% when they won their last ring. Yeah, I think their starting 5 looks solid with Jackson-Davis now at the center replacing Looney at the first 5. But it's all good, Looney coming from the bench and same with CP3, still there is depth.


They are still one of the best teams in the playoffs, but the Warriors will have a tougher journey as they might play the Lakers in a do or die game, it's like a Western championship game because the two teams are full of superstars. Curry will meet Lebron again but this time will be in the play-in, how exciting, isn't it?

In case the Warriors will advance, they will still play either Kings or Pelicans, which I think easier compared to the Lakers, so I believe they'll make it to the playoffs. This is the current picture but it come change since the regular season is not yet over.

I like the Lakers vs Warriors again in the play-in, both are healthy and so there are no excuses and it's the old rivalry, Curry and Lebron but this time, it's a do or die game. And just like what the rest might be seeing, going to be 50/50 or maybe the Lakers are going to be the slight favorite as they will have the home court advantage although I think the Warriors this season is a better road team as compare to last year.

They have the numbers against the Kings, and the Pelicans doesn't have that experience as compare to them, so yeah, it might be easier if they will and make it to the playoff. But we will see as they have some games to complete.

Warrior still have 6 games to play, and that includes a tough game tomorrow vs the Dallas Mavericks. Looking at their record in the ranking, it's very close and there's a possibility that the Warriors will end up at the number 6 spot. I wouldn't take about the play-in vs the Lakers early as that could change for sure, the Warriors are still unstoppable, if they can win tomorrow, their win streak might continue.

Their succeeding games.

They've beaten the Mavs a couple of games back, there was one highlight in that game wherein Draymond Green made a great block on Gafford an they won that close game. But since they are going to play at Dallas, they are a huge underdog the last time I check.

So I do agree that this is a tough game for them, but maybe the momentum is with the side of the Warriors as they have their own winning streak and the rotation is now working and Klay is like averaging close to 20 points in the last 6 games or so.
