I'm late with my picks.
Joining the gang for the Suns -6.5. One of us loses then all of us goes down.  Grin
and
Nuggets -4.5 versus Pacers
Battle of big men. Will it be the skills challenge champion Domantas Sabonis or Nikola Jokic the triple-double specialist.
Good luck to all of you guys.
Haha, Im on the Suns gang as well! Have added it to my 1st parlay for the Maharaja of Bitcointalk tourney. Hopefully it starts off well. Clippers match starting soon. Can they bounce back after a blowout against Pelicans? I think they'd have to rely heavily on Leonard to make it happen.

The Suns gang won, it was an easy win for the Suns, they have dominated the game and they bounce back really hard. Congratulations on the winners of the spread, I should have followed it for betting odds, lol..
2262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 15, 2021, 10:12:22 AM
Therefore my pick is Suns -7.. to high maybe but I like it.

I think I'll pass on the spread, I will instead go with the ML.  I check on my bookies now, I get my 1.39 (with price odds0>

This odds for me is already good, -7 is just to high to handle and I can't risk that high, I'm just confident with the ML.

Anyway, good luck and thanks for the pick.
2263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Estrada vs Chocolatito WBC, WBA & Ring Magazine Unification Fight on: March 15, 2021, 09:38:17 AM
This was a really good fight. Both guys threw over 1,000 punches and it was a really close fight, the fight of the year so far. I thought maybe Gonzalez deserved to win by a couple points. There will probably be a third fight and we will see very close odds again with Gonzalez being a slight favorite.
Wow, Estrada defied the odds, congratulations to those who bet on Estrada because they are going to get a lot of money with most odds favoring Chocolatito. A third match is going to be the final nail in the coffin as to who is the best of the two, this gave me the idea of a personal betting where you are betting as to whether there is going to be a third match.

That would be a more exciting fight as that would tell on who really is the best between the two.

The winner of the fight is willing to give a chance to Chocolatito, he respected him a lot and this is his statement.

Quote
"I think I did enough to deserve to win," said a victorious Estrada, who had just finished throwing a career-high 1,212 punches, despite being outlanded by 77 punches. "'Chocolatito' is a great fighter and I think he deserves the trilogy."

So Blake still not playing right? and KD still resting,
Blake did not play, same with Durant, injury related issue, but they will be back soon.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2924739-blake-griffin-will-not-make-nets-debut-vs-celtics-due-to-knee-injury-management
Any leads when will Blake will start playing? is he going to play in their next match? against Piston or Knicks? or both opponents?


There's no information yet when he will debut with the nets, try checking this site, they provide an update information.

Kyrie got some unfinished business with Boston  Roll Eyes Grin Look how he did he's shots he really show them how good he is and how valuable

he was leading a team, things that he didn't get when he's still playing alongside with his former Boston team.
Maybe he's confident to be in a better team right now and he can showcase more of himself.
AFAIR, he was also leading the Boston, problem is the injury is hitting him and IIRC, he missed the playoffs because of an injury and that is too frustrating because that's the time when the team need him a lot.

You have already received it, the one that sent that to you must have paid more than 1 usd in order to transact or maybe lower depending the  fees he choose. But if you choose to send that 1 usd from your wallet, just don't waste your time as it's almost not possible, the fees are high at the moment, just save your btc and who knows in the future it will grow and who knows in the future the fee will reduce.



But this still involves blockchain to my knowledge as the first transaction since LN is a third party.

Yes, but developers are trying to find solution to this, like the LN to potentially solve the problem.
2266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: March 12, 2021, 12:06:25 PM
Analyzing and finding accurate information about who is playing and who is the backup is also important, but we also need to know the strengths and weaknesses of a weak or strong team because most of the weak teams win because we don't really know the players.
and betting without doing anything is useless even if you only rely on luck but you will get more losses than winning if you continue like that.
If we can get a clue about each team, that will help us to decide which team we can select because that team will have a good performance than the other team. Sometimes, we need to know why the team is weak because sometimes the weak team can surprise us, especially if they can change their strategies from time to time. We are supposed to avoid the losses, although losses can come to every gambler without what we can expect. But at least, we can have more chances to win.
Nowadays it's not hard to get a clue, you can even get the whole stats of the teams that you like to know, that's what internet can do. However, though you know which team is strong or weak, it still doesn't guarantee that it will give you an easy win, there's a betting odds in every game and you just have to gamble on the odds provided if you know what I'm saying.
If we are familiar with the sources, I am sure we can know which team can win and have a bigger percentage to win. I agree that the betting odds will not let us win easily as that can make us feel confused to determine the team that will win. If we see that the betting odds are bigger, our stats say that the opponent has more chances to win. We need to have more information to choose with the right.
The source is not the source that will tell us a game is rig or not, it's just a source where we can analyze the stats of a certain team or players, nothing more than that, and even though we know which team has the bigger chances of winning, this wouldn't tell which team would win easily.

Sports gambling is not easy as we think,  we maybe think that we know the sports we are gambling but we need to prove that it helps by winning our bet, otherwise, we are wrong with our expectation.

Interesting to see that ADA is not on the list of searches though. The price has spike in the last 3-6 months, reaching a new all time high if I'm not mistaken.

The rest I'm not surprised though, usually dominated by Defi, but I expect that those projects hype will die soon? It's just the nature of it, hype then gradually going down as there might be new projects in the horizon trying to compete, and the cycle continues.

ADA was still sleeping at that time, but ADA is really a strong coin, it reach at the top 3 of the ranking and just slowly sliding down. Most of the coins in the list are hype, especially the number 1 list which is Uniswap, and that list is correct though on few but the other new coins are now bullish so far.

Still, the major coins is a good coins to choose if we like to expect some consistency and stability, also I noticed that BNB is not in the list.  Grin

FOMO always result to crash, that's normal but even if bitcoin will crash, it's not something that we should worry or be panic, only those who ride with the FOMO and does not fully understand the market behavior will panic. Crash in crypto is different from stock market, here, most of the time, crash means opportunity as bitcoin always bounce back and make a new ATH again and again, time can only tell though.

Exscudo was one of the most promising crypto projects. I even join the translation bounty and got tokens . As of now, the value of it is small and I will just wait for it to evolve. I have faith on this project.

Good luck on holding, it's been a while but this project has not compete in a big market, but if you can hold for more longer years or months because you followed and understand the project, then you'll get my respect, that's your decision. Unfortunately for some, this project looks a non performing one as it's not yet listed in big exchange, I understand that they have an exchange on their own but is the trading volume satisfying to investors and can they attract a project to get listed in their exchange?
2270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: March 12, 2021, 05:59:12 AM
I am not such a big fan of seeing a fight with Mikey. He hasn't done anything at welterweight to deserve this kind of fight. Mikey's last fight was against a washed up Jessie Vargas and before that we have to go back to 2018 when he last beat a top fighter and that was at lightweight.
well, the deal still hasn't been finalized so there is still a chance Pacquiao decides to fights another fighter. I Don't know much about Mikey Garcia but seeing his record and 4 titles in 4 different division he seems to be a great boxer. but yeah, I'd rather see a match between Crawford and Pacquiao.
Mikey Garcia has one loss, Pacquiao deserve to fight an undefeated fight, it could only be either Crawford or Spence Jr. Not underestimating Mikey Garcia though but Manny has beat an undefeated fight in last fight, he should stay in that track.
Mikey Garcia is good but not legitimate contender in the welterweight division. His only lost is against Spence. It was a total domination, but he quickly rebounded back and won against a tough Jessie Vargas which Pacquiao defeated as well.

Boxing fans doesn't want a Mikey Garcia fight simply because he is not on Manny's level. The only reason why Mikey wants to fight Pacquiao is the huge paycheck. And it won't add anything to Manny's legacy. Spence or Crawford is the only fight that we rather see for Manny, win or lose.

I definitely agree with you, the main purpose why they want to fight Manny is to make huge money, but Manny only has few fights left in his career, therefore he should choose wisely the fighter he would fight, and at his level, it could only be between Spence and Crawford since both are champions and undefeated as well, if he wins, Manny will reign and he might become the GOAT of boxing.
2271  Other / Off-topic / Re: Deontay Wilder: He makes another WILD conspiracy theory about his loss to Fury on: March 12, 2021, 05:26:55 AM
Wilder showed a lot of respect to Fury after the first fight but that changed after the re-match.

In all honesty I never encountered anybody that thought the fight should have been a draw because Fury won that fight, maybe that was the reason Wilder was so generous with his words towards Fury because a re-match was in the contract.

It would be easy to say Wilder should be humble, I think he should but I also do not know his state of mind. It seems clear he needs help and needs to stay away from the boxing ring therefore it might not be possible right now to mentally well enough to know the difference between being humble and seeking attention by making allegations that are hard to believe.
Fair point, however I think the main question is who has the influence over Wilder to tell him that he needs help? He is not even listening to his former trainer and Wilder believes he had something to do with his defeat by colluding with the opposite camp, Wilder does not seem to understand that by throwing the towel not only his trainers protected his career, they protected his life and the quality of life he will have after he retires and instead of appreciate this fact he thinks ill of them.

In this case it should be his direct family, if we have a big problem like this, it's only our family that we can count unto. Wilder is facing a serious problem, he wouldn't say these malicious words if he is in in the right mind, so he should be check and he should submit to make it work.
2272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 on: March 11, 2021, 10:43:33 PM
But I'll pass on this one because I am waiting for Manny Pacquiao's fight this year .

This fight is already final while the fight of Manny Pacquiao is still a rumor, we don't know yet if he can have fight this year as Crawford the one he challenge has still no answer or even the promoter has not given a statement regarding the fight.
I thought it was fixed that Canelo and Pacquiao fight.

Pacquiao should fight Canelo not chasing Conor McGregor in a boxing match, that's a perfect fight for the UFC fighters.
I will guess it could be Canelo and Pacquiao in the month of May, but the rumor still a rumor unless there's no official announcement of the fight.

This big event is a big payday for them.

Nah, it won't happen, Canelo is too big for Manny, too different  weight class, one a ageing legendary boxer who's legacy is already cemented. While the other is on his prime and destroying everyone in it's path.

Pacquiao should stick to 147 lbs, Canelo to 168 lbs. Let's just enjoys Canelo ride to greatness and become a legend himself. No need to bring his name to fight Manny.

They could fight in a catch weight but it's not good IMO as for sure Canelo will have to drain himself just to fight Manny, not good for boxing and not good for Canelo's career as Manny never loss fighting a big man in his career in a catch weight fight.

Manny should focus on Crawford while Canelo please give GGG a trilogy fight.  Grin
2273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who Benefited from AME Token? on: March 11, 2021, 10:29:02 PM
To be honest i think AME coin is hyped up, I joined their signature campaign when they were paying in BTC but refused to join their campaign when they started paying in Tokens.
Now AME has made 4x+ if i'm not wrong and i don't regret missing out on the opportunity because their team isn't paying the bounty and their the bounty manager received a neg tag from DT members.

With this long delay, is there's any chance that these bounty hunters will still get paid?

Looks like in the past few days AME is not anymore that bullish, maybe some people are already dumping their assets and as long as they still did not fulfill their promises, I guess investors will see it and they'll not be happy although it's just a small number of tokens. Also, their trading volume is not so stable.



Maybe the hunters will get paid or maybe not, I'm not sure to be honest.
They for sure didn't fulfill their promise there was a time when bounty hunters could sell their AME at the price of 0.15$/AME.
But now it's not possible and who knows if the coin will soon die, Since it's showing the pattern of being Pumped up and Hyped up.
Maybe the hunters will get their reward when the token goes 0.01$ >

The price movement is definitely not good anymore, in the last 7 days (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/amepay/), the price already dump a lot, as of this writing, the price is already at 0.057 usd, so this doesn't give the bounty hunters a good feeling if they could have sold their tokens at a great value.

With this problem, I doubt the project still has a chance to recover, they can list in big exchange but if they aren't paying people who work for them, that will continue to hunt them as bounty hunters does not only promote but they can also destroy.
2274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alt season over or about to start ? on: March 11, 2021, 02:24:26 PM
I've heard people say waiting for a big bull run for atlcoin, when bitcoin shows no signs of stopping and is still reaching new ATH, I think it will take some time to wait. Witness the altcoin season as one would expect.
Waiting is what it should be and being patient in waiting is also needed at this time, because there is nothing instant to happen, everything needs a slow process so that what is expected can happen in the near future.
Timing is everything, you have to understand the market to do the right timing.

Holding on the other hand requires long term hold but you can still be as profitable as the long term holder if you can consistently making profitable short trades. Like a 1 month hold or even 3 moths hold, and you see, the market is bullish for the last 2 months I believe and prior to that, the price was cheap and you can already make huge profit at the moment if you bought that time.
2275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: March 11, 2021, 01:47:32 PM
I haven't received much payment in my signature campaign so right now my plan is to hodl the bitcoin that I will receive as it is at most a trickle amount and I don't think that gambling it or spending it on anything is going to be worth it. Maybe when I get enough bitcoin, I might go and buy a new phone or something that isn't worth a lot of money but is worth buying.
it doesn't matter  How much you are receiving because that is rate in Bitcoin so the best to HODL for long term .

I have vested half of my Payments in Bitcoin for 6 months now and have lost in gambling the next half  Grin

But either way i am happy having them both as i enjoy gambling and i enjoy holding .

That's still positive as at least you have half of your earning for long term hold, mine, a little too disappointed that I usually spend in gambling and although I'm having fun but it's hard not to regret seeing the current situation, maybe I can learn from this.
2276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: March 10, 2021, 10:05:47 PM
For me as a gambler with a small capital, of course it is quite influential in the increase in the price of Bitcoin on my gambling activities.
Therefore I prefer to use altcoins to gamble, besides the price increase is not as big as Bitcoin, altcoins transaction fees are also much cheaper.
But for altcoins I suggest using something other than Ethereum, because gambling using Ethereum is almost the same as Bitcoin. Apart from
the already very high price, Ethereum transaction fees are also very high. For now I prefer to use Tron, Dogecoin or Litecoin to play gambling.
It could work but if you want a bigger return and you are a high stakes player, I think that bitcoin and Ethereum is a good crypto for gambling. The best thing to do right now is not to gamble because those cryptos that you lost when you lose in gambling could have made you a profit if you just hodl them.

But this also goes the other way. If you manage to win more money right now you would increase your crypto portfolio a lot. Looking at the top cash game players in poker, we know that most of them are also bitcoin millionaires. I was a bit afraid over the last 4 months to use bitcoins for gambling because the price was rising so much. Now the BTC price seems to settle down around the 50,000 USD mark it becomes a bit better to use the BTC again.

They are not bitcoin millionaire actually but more so fiat millionaire as only few holds millions of bitcoin in their wallet. Their holdings value will drop once bitcoin will drop, so in gambling, it's hard to mix it with bitcoin as you'll facing both risk (volatility and losing) which is not good if you don't have the proper risk management on both.

Let's get ready and prepare that bankroll again.

We have 11 games to bet if we want after the all star break, and we have a lot of good match up to see.

* Boston at Brooklyn
* Phoenix at Portland
* Golden State at L.A. Clippers

These 3 are the top match up I'll be analyzing and just choose one to bet on.
2 games before that 11 games.
Mavericks will be really busy with two consecutive games. One with Spurs then the next day against Thunder.
They will need that win against the Spurs to take the number 7th spot so I am putting my bet with them.

Both had their good time and rest, this could go with full force defense and might end up with a low scoring game.
What do you think? I am considering a combination with under score.

Exactly, maybe stadus just misslooked the schedule.

We only have two games tonight, but I like it as it does not get much attention especially in betting, two games mean not to demanding of your time to analyze if you are doing an analysis of the game (lol)...

What I like here is the Washington Wizards, they are 7-3 in the last 10 games and IIRC, they beat the Clippers in their last game but they loss to Memphis prior to that win, that's why it makes sense but Wizards is still a good pick.

The fight between Pacquiao and Crawford has not reached its finality yet. Like what you mentioned, there are only some speculations about the whole fight. Compared to Alvarez vs Saunders (as it also falls right exactly on my birthday), I might actually go big on this fight.

It's been a while since I last engaged into sports gambling but I feel good in this fight. The domination of Alvarez continues and I feel like he's going to be more dominant in the upcoming years and into the future.

So in that case are you ready the bet the odds of Canelo even at? ;
Canelo @1.17

Probably an early round could give a better odds but until now there are only limited odds so we can't tell.
