2261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: April 04, 2022, 01:02:02 PM
Even Keith Thurman doesn't have any difficulties when he faced Barrios after his long lay off in the industry.

I saw that fight, I think we should include Thurman on the discussion which is a possible opponent of Crawford in case Spence will say no after winning this fight, or possibly an opponent of Spence. I have Thurman winning against either Spence or Crawford because he is a decent boxer and I like the odds that the bookies will offer betting on him.

That's another story, let's just wait until the end of this fight and see the development.

If Spence wins, let's wait for his answer if he would say yes or no to a possible Crawford fight.
If Ugas wins, I think we will see a Spence vs Ugas.

That means, Thurman will just have to wait a little longer.
2262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: April 04, 2022, 12:32:20 PM

But for those who doubt GGG, why not bet a few dollars if you think Murata is worthy as that specific bet could be big in return if indeed by chances Murata will defeat GGG.

Don't worry mate, I will put at least $1 for Murata to win. LOL.
Kidding aside mate, I think GGG is really a strong fighter and Murata will not match his strength.

I hope I'm wrong because somehow I would like to see a very close fight, but I could not lie, I don't really see a chance that Murata will pull an upset here.

2263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 04, 2022, 12:05:52 PM

my max bet is BTC0.005 versus your BTC0.0035, or to make it simple, the odds is 1.70.

Shoot me a PM if you like the odds.

Nice odds you are offering mate, unfortunately, we are on the same side. Ginebra here #NSD.

I have a handicap of this game too, I will give the Meralco +1 game in a series, I'm risking up to BTC0.002 for a 1-1 odds.

2264  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Few Tips I learnt from trading that blew my account. on: April 04, 2022, 10:57:42 AM
These are few challenges faced when I newly got into trading, which I think I should share so people who are new traders should know.

[1].Don't Chase the market:
There is always a next opportunity in the market,
If you miss this opportunity wait for next one.

I still remember my newbie days in trading. I'd always think about losing an opportunity once I miss buying coins at a lower price so what I did is to still buy them even during the hypes. That is why I'd suffer more losses than getting some profit. And from that, I learned that it was no need to chase the market, prices may go up and down, and what we need is patience.

That is why I'd love the volatility of the market. If we miss this time, there is still a chance in the next round. Or, just to look for other coins that aren't yet in the surge.

I fear for ETH future, almost all smart contract projects are using the PoS staking algorithm but only ETH PoW stands alone, this makes ETH different and one of a kind smart contract project, I think vitalik buterin will regret is decision after ETH goes PoS.
Before Mr. Butterin and the team make the decision, they probably anticipate the coming problems that may occur. But I think, whatever it is they know what to do and responded positively. We don't have to fear anything from changing it to a PoS system, I've been believing this may help and add convenience to the user and investors.

I definitely going to agree with what he made, he is even realizing the benefits it gives when switching to PoS.

As mentioned above, a crypto Point-of-Sale (PoS) is a solution for deploying a cryptocurrency payment gateway. The PoS system enables your clients to pay for goods and services with Bitcoin using their smartphone and crypto wallet. The main advantage of the PoS method is the convenience since it takes mere seconds to create an invoice that the customer can utilize to pay. The PoS gateway is also simple to use and does not involve building complex infrastructure.

Why coerce someone into what they have no interest in! Knowing full well that when people get involved into something through the use of force or pressure they end up putting the whole blame on you well it didn't worked out well instead of seeing things from the other perspective, like,what if it had worked out well.

To me it's more preferable to introduce the cryptocurrency investment to you apparently as I can, and leave the choice of investing or not to you.
So as to avoid blame games.
Putting them under pressure gives no help but instead, it was a burden to them and they will blame us if they will lose. It should be their will and willingness, we let them make decisions, not us.
Our role is to help people to understand the nature of the market and change their minds about thinking Bitcoin is a scam thing, a Ponzi scheme. To enlighten them and share good ideas is enough for them to understand and possibly encourages them to invest. This is the best way to help them decide to invest and interested in knowing more about Bitcoin.
2267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it better to have 5, 12 or even more coins? on: April 03, 2022, 10:19:20 PM
I choose option 1.
5 coins are just good enough for me but I guess it needs some diversification as those coins are not good for holding. Why not include BNB and Sol there? In fact, they are worth more than those coins like Chiliz and Enjin.

Well, anyway, OP must have known the risk upon investing, I'd choose a small number for I can see less risk in this option. But yes, we have different game plans and strategies but you know what, your choices of coins aren't really good. I suggest changing it for better results.

2268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 03, 2022, 01:35:28 PM

As for the Lakers, it seems that they have given up this season, even if they made it to the playoff and win, I'm seeing them losing in the first round.

Fans had already given up too, they are not expecting anymore that the Lakers will make it to the playoffs. Looking at their coming games, I think they have a tougher schedule compared to the Spurs and Pelicans.

I'm checking the betting odds now.

Will this (team) make it to the playoffs?

Clippers 4.20
Lakers 11.00
Wolves 7.00
Pelicans 4.40
Spurs 7.00

For some players that didn't have a chance or already passed by the spotlight here, they surely go for the B-league just for money....

Are you kidding me? B League will not sign them because B-League is a bigger league than the PBA.

It's actually both, they want to develop their skills and at the same time make more money.
You can read about why Kiefer played on BLeague.

2270  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't be too greed for more gains.... on: April 03, 2022, 12:27:06 PM
but besides that we also have to learn to understand and analyze the crypto market so that we can read the moment and determine when we can sell or buy crypto.

When trading many people find it difficult to determine when he exits the market. This is because they don't understand and maybe they have too greedy targets. Learning takes time, I think it takes a process. I'm sure it's because it's related to emotional and mental control. Since I've experienced that, it's very difficult to master that.
Perhaps, we all have carried that every day. I admit I'm greedy, I knew it but because I could manage properly, it never gives me a problem. Emotional and mental control, all it depends on what we think. Our mindset becomes more influential as we think more about earning big. Thus, if we are just contented with earning small that is not a problem, however, it was not our ambition. In fact,  we work hard, we extend our patience, and that was because we wanted more, and I believe it was not greediness, it is just our goal.
2271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: About Scam coin in wallet on: April 03, 2022, 11:56:32 AM
The issue is getting increasing these days.When we exchange or swap or transaction some kind of coin it's come with free free,In the my first time I have been a victim of it many times, at first I was surprised and very happy to see it, then when I went to swap or exchange the tokens  I see only my fee is being cut but there is no exchange or it is not going to be done .
They are free tokens/coins, actually. You've got to be happy of receiving them but the problem is that you can't sell or swap them, they are not yet listed for exchanges. But I'm wondering why you have sent to an exchange? Haven't you checked it first before sending it? You'd have to do that first, it is surely there is a fee cut in your wallet as you are doing a transfer transaction.

Quote
Now my question is What is the source of a scam wallet ?  And is there any way to get rid of it? Because many newcomers are suffering from it, we have not reached the stage where newcomers will get rid of it.
You can check the sending address to know where comes but just the address only, you can't find the sender. And to think about stopping them? Apparently, that was a big problem because we can't do it.

               What I really want is to understand what I should befocusing on first as a trader or which skill should I strive for first. I am bormbarded by the knowledge that are out in the open I am confused what I must prioritize. Is it Fibonacci, price action, orderblocks, amd so on the list just jever ends. I would really appreciate if someone can point me towards the right knowledge I should strive to acquire first.
Based on your stories and experience, I believe you already have the idea and knowledge of trading, and you also have the skills. What I just say to you is to improve the level of your skills and work on your strategies as well. You don't need to use all the trading tools and even acquire a number of strategies, you only need to use the strategy(ies) that is/are effective base on your experience. I suggest keeping them rather than trying a new one.

Spot trading or Leverage trading? choose the one that you are good and comfortable with.
2273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: April 02, 2022, 01:14:53 PM
I guess that was just a misinformation or rumor meant to scare the fans of Casimero that he is in a dangerous spot who's going to be stripped in his belt because of that lawsuit that we have no information about as we cannot literally see anything about that on the internet nor anything that Butler tweeted in the same context. Guys, let's be optimistic because the fight is still going to happen.

I'm one on those many people that hoping that this fight will push through as I'm a fan of Quadro Alas but this controversy that he is in right now is not a joke and coupled with the weight issue, this is really a challenging times for Casimero but i know that he could overcome these issues and come out victorious once he steps on that ring.

Why is it that the opponent's team seems to be not so sure that Casimero will fight, and his camp is looking for a replacement? There's no news about this and his camp is silent. The match is fast approaching. If Casimero will not fight because of the lawsuit, then, his boxing career is now in question.

First, we need to verify if the information is legit, as I read, it was only a rumor and there's even no post regarding that rumor about the team Butler asking MP promotion on who will be their opponent. Let us not make it a big story, focus on the scheduled fight so we will be able to enjoy it.
The information is just a rumor, period.
Because if it's real, then someone would have already put a link here as a source of the information, but until now, there's still no source posted.

As of now, this fight still has no betting odds in my sportsbook.

Just like the previous fights of Donaire, Odds are usually out a day before the fight.
2274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 02, 2022, 12:49:58 PM
...>< it was Harris in game 4 but he was injured in this game which the Meralco has taken it as an advantage to beat the Magnolia.
Bad game for the Hotshots, they were up early but they weren't able to keep the lead and allow the Meralco to have a big run. Because the game was very physical, injuries cannot really be avoided, and if Harris wasn't injured, I guess Meralco would say goodbye, but they got lucky so let's welcome them to the PBA Finals. (GINEBRA in 4) Grin

When Harris got injured, it was over for the Hotshots. They can't find anybody to carry them offensively as Paul Lee really struggles in this series while Ian Sangalang was not so effective down low, i thought before the series that this is for the Hotshots to win because they have Sangalang and Abueva that will hassle them in the board but i am totally wrong lol.

With Pringle and Japeth back in the Finals, seems like that the Bolts is in trouble but i'll give them at least a win or two before crowning the Kings.
Harris got injured, Lee is injured. No one can step up and carry the team thus they lost. Prayers for Mike Harris though and I hope he will recover.

For sure this will be a physical one (as it is always Cheesy) or I mean more physical than the normal one. We have Hodge that is a very good defender and just willing to sacrifice his body just to have extra possessions. I wonder who will he be defending. It might be Brownlee maybe. Ginebra in 6 for me or maybe 5 but not 4 even though Pringle and Japeth but there is a high chance it will be 6. More games = more revenue and more entertainment Cheesy.


That's an interesting match-up, but I think it will be import vs import.
yes of course because no one from the local could match JB's strength.
Bishop has to do his job with JB, if he can limit JB's production, then I would say he is effective.

The good thing with Meralco is that they proved they can win even if their import is struggling, their locals can produce to win and that's their advantage. Of course, Brownlee will continue to score, but if the locals will be limited, this would be a great series for Meralco.

Meralco is also a good defensive team, so they can match up the Ginebra's very defensive play.

As long as Almazan, Newsome, and Maliksi will produce, they will not be left behind in this competitive series.
2275  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you agree market behavior has changed? on: April 02, 2022, 11:47:52 AM

It is never the same, people do not use the indicators the same way because we are all different on what we expect from it. I am fine with buying right now and selling 10 years later, whereas some people could buy and sell 10 times in a single hour. So, it is never really used the same way between any person in the world.
This separates the view between a trader and a holder. Whereas, holders will just buy and hold, while these traders will take more risk in the market and adopt the current behavior. These traders will see how the market is changing because they are analyzing the market every day.
But there is one thing I know for sure that affects the market trend and that was because people's mindsets had already changed.

People are now becoming more optimistic rather than being worried, they'll decide to keep their assets longer rather than selling them earlier.
A change of their minds is also a change in market view. In fact, this is what we see this time.
2276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to check a Scam token on BSC. on: April 01, 2022, 10:52:46 PM
They are SCAM TOKEN AIRDROP and this even started last year.
We can see the transactions are failed and that was to imply that they are scams in nature.
This tactic doesn't even get my attention, in fact, we don't buy any of them and so, therefore, we never expect them to arrive. And pretty obvious they don't have a market value, apparently they are just a scam tokens.
2277  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: April 01, 2022, 01:48:04 PM
I have no confirmation of this, but it is rumored that Stake paid $100 000 000 for Drake's sponsorship. This might sound like a lot of money, but they have a $50 000 Giveaway every Saturday, where they have almost 2 million tickets in the draw. A person qualify for 1 ticket, once you have wagered $1000 at Stake. (Do your calculations if a person loose about $50 per $1000 wagered.... because that is close to $100 000 000 Gross income per week)  Roll Eyes

Do you think Drake will bring in more than $100 000 000 income during his sponsorship? I guess it is more about him bringing in respectability for the Brand.  Wink

I'm sure stake is not stupid to give that amount to Drake if they are not expecting a return from it. Drake is like an NBA star who wear shoes for sponsorships and receive millions of money, hopefully, that would bring success to stake as they have invested a lot of money from this deal.
2278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: April 01, 2022, 12:38:06 PM
On the contrary, I don't think that Ugas will be the aggressor here, Spence will not let that. If he pushes forward, Spence will play defense of course but will try to go inside, just like in the Danny Garcia fight. In short, he will beat on you on your own game. That's why it's hard to put a decent strategy for Ugas because Spence will going to counter him in every move. We will see who will crack first here, specially in the first 6 rounds as Spence might have a ring rust and this could be the perfect opportunity for Ugas.

My thinking is another way around. Ugas won't keep that being not aggressive since he needs to make more points and make sure he will own most of the rounds. He is aware that if he just keeps on safety, he won't win against the judge's favorite Spence. It's already expected that while Ugas will come to Spence, obviously Spence will play defense and will not go close-to-close unless a good opening will be seen for a clean punch.

I can't consider Spence has ring rust since it's just about 15 months ago to his last fight but his medical condition last August might affect his actual performance in the ring. I also read some comments about their fellow boxers that Spence is not as dangerous as before.

I like how we are sharing analysis. Let's just continue.

Maybe he will look for more opportunity to have his bread and butter, which is countering if Spence is going inside? Just by the look of this fight, it's really hard to predict the outcome as there are a lot of scenarios that can played around. Maybe 1-3 rounds it will be Ugas who are taking over, and then Spence comes back in the middle round. And make it's a good fight in the championship round. Let's see what scenario are going to happen, Ugas defense against Spence becoming the aggressor later.

If he could cut the distance, then that strategy would be effective. However, this is not Pacman, it's Spence who has a longer reach than him and is a little bit taller, so that strategy cannot be effective in the fight, therefore, he has to go with a toe to toe fight since Spence has a better boxing skills than him IMO.

Agree, Spence is bigger and has a longer reach, that counter punch would only work if a boxer is attacking and not quick enough, in the case of Spence, he is an extraordinary boxer, that's why he was ranked as the number 1 in pound for pound ranking before the car accident happened.
2279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto wealth can only be built in bear market on: March 31, 2022, 11:02:20 PM
Wealth is created during the bear market not in bull market, the question now is are we still in bull market or bear market? We can't expect crypto market to crash instantly if bear is going to happen it will be a gradual process so what is your take on this? Should newbies wait or buy coins right now?
The truth is that we can make a profit whatever the situation we have in the market. Perhaps, these traders even going to make it, so we can assume that we can do this as well. That is why I encourage people not to think more about corrections and the downsides, we'd rather think about the positive trend.
I suggest to newbies to buy now if they already have the money and if they are willing to take the risks. The market is still preparing for the huge spike, we're not going to miss this, otherwise.
2280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 31, 2022, 12:53:18 PM

I guess I will side with the Meralco in game 5, I'm sure they will be the underdog, so I'm taking the point spread.

Same here, they may have been dominated in game 4 but I'm sure they will adjust in game 5.
Again, I like to emphasize about their defense, and I like the under of the total score as I believe it has a big chance of hitting since it's a do or die game for both teams.

Yes, I'm expecting to see that.

By the way, the betting lines are up for the game 5, and looks like Meralco is still underestimated here.

Meralco is +5, with 2.56 for moneyline.
I'm sure this is worth taking, no way Magnolia would be able to dominate them twice in a row.

Great spread, I also find it attractive. Meralco beat Magnolia twice in this series so that +5 is quite high as a handicap for a team that is very competitive to them. If Magnolia will win, there's a huge possibility that Meralco would cover the handicap, so for me, the right play here is Meralco +5.
