  • Needed the money and don't want to lose big
Just a few days ago, I just pulled out all of my asset in a particular project, sold it and then invested it into stock market.

Did I feel regret on it? Yes because just a few hours after I sold that asset, the price went up 20% more. I felt disappointed and asking myself "What if I waited a few more hours before selling it? Then I can get 20% more than what I got when I sold it." Some questions are on my mind at that time. I felt regret, but what I'm only thinking at that time is that "I regretted it, but there's nothing that I can do about it and after all, I can't predict the future and I didn't know that the price of that asset will go up even more." Currently, I'm ok now and I don't feel regret anymore and that 20% more profit? I will just get it thru dividends on the stock that I've bought.

Overall, we've all experienced that scenario especially when the time has come for us to sell our assets for whatever reason it is. My advice for those who want to sell is that, if you want to sell your asset, don't look at the crypto market for around 3 days to 1 week.

0 point
7 assists
1 rebound
19 minutes played

That was Ben Simmon's stats against the Pistons hehe. It just doesn't make sense for a big PG not to make more shot attempts on a league that mostly favors offense now. It was less than 10 tries per game in their last four or five outings. This guy would be very lucky to have a contract extension that's close to his current salary if he keeps playing like this.
Tony Snell's stats in one game is far better than this one.
0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks in around 25+ minutes of playing. He's like having a cardio on that game.

Kidding aside, Simmons' stats right now is kinda questionable, but he doesn't have a stats like this all the time. Though we already know that he wasn't the Simmons that he was when he is on the Sixers, but the good thing is that he is playing already and trying to redeem himself. It's frustrating if you are a Nets fan, but one game isn't enough for us to judge how he is playing. His stats wouldn't matter if they won the game, but unfortunately they lost and worse is that they lost to a bottom seeded team in Pistons. Cheesy

The 76ers won that trade as they are now a very good team, they are well balanced with offense and defense.

Simmons does not attempt to shot more, probably he had some phobia with his bad experience messing up in big game in the playoffs.
Well, base on how Harden and Simmons are playing right now with their respective teams, I think it's pretty obvious that the Sixers won that trade.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 

Online gambling isn't that popular until the pandemic happened.
Gamblers can't go to casinos because of lockdowns. They don't want to be idle and they always want to gamble thus, they tried to gamble online and that's the start of popularity of online gambling.

Your close relative is right. Accessibility of online casinos right now is way easier thus, gamblers can gamble straight from their smart phone. Just a few clicks, place a bet and there you go. For gamblers, that would be way easier than driving minutes or even hours to go to a nearby casino just to gamble. Because of online gambling easier to get accessed, gamblers tend to get addicted way faster than when they are going to a casino as they have more time to spend when they are gambling online and when they spend more time, the chances of them getting addicted will be higher. On the other hand, physical casinos can also be addictive as well especially if you are going there more often.

We don't have any nearby casinos in our place and whenever I want to gamble, I always gamble online. Luckily for me, I didn't get addicted into online gambling because I can control myself and I have enough discipline to not to overspend on it as well.

Re: why people are always interested in altcoins
Profit.

Altcoins especially the low market cap ones tend to move faster than those altcoins at the top as they are easier to be pumped and dumped by the whales. People don't want to be bored and investing in Bitcoin might be boring for some as it moves slower than altcoin thus, they preferring to invest into altcoins than Bitcoin as their price move faster. Higher risk = higher rewards.

We've seen many altcoins that just went up and now at the top out of nowhere. Coins like Polkadot, ICP, Solana etc. Altcoins are way riskier than Bitcoin, but can give you higher profits than Bitcoin and that's the reason why people are always interested in investing into altcoins. Profitability.

Ouch, some of us had Boston on the handicap, unfortunately they lost the game. They forced the OT against the Knicks but New York stay focus even if Boston took the lead in the OT.

Detroit Piston as well pull an upset win against the Nets, Kyrie had another big game with 40 points, Ben Simmons though, 0 points in this game.
It was Nic again who help Kyrie was not enough, while Pistons has like 8 players scoring double digits. So it's 0/2 for me tonight.

That Pistons win really destroyed my parlay for the night. I didn’t think they’d be able to take the Nets even without Durant. I was wrong.

Looks like the Mavericks are about to beat the Suns. Luka only played a couple of minutes before leaving the game. I hope his ankle isn’t bothering him too bad. The all star break is coming soon though and I think all NBA players could use the break. Their schedule is brutal.
I was a bit surprised when I saw that the Knicks won against the Celtics, but I'm more surprised when I saw the Pistons defeated the Nets. I mean who would've thought that the road team Pistons which are at the bottom spot defeated the 4th seeded team in Nets. I'm pretty sure there are some who lost money in these 2 games.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Luka's ankle as he is also a starter in the upcoming all-star game. As for the Pistons, I just don't know what happened to them, but to see Simmons having 0 points in that game is very frustrating if you are a Nets fan. Simmons also got a -12 plus-minus rating. Seth Curry didn't play as well, but it's good to see Claxton being more efficient than he was last season. A double-double machine scoring more than 20 points in his last 5 games and getting more than 10 rebound in 4 of his last 5 games and he's only 23 years old.

No offense, but the sticker tagline is giving me scammy vibes, and that's definitely not the vibe you want people to be getting. I prefer stickers with a more interesting message such as "defund the state"(on the top of my head) and such.
I thought I'm the only one who got that vibes as well the time I read what's on that sticker or whatever the OP is sharing to others.

I mean I don't have anything in my mind that can help other people learn everything about Bitcoin, but I guess the OP is sharing might lead those newbies to scammy websites than legit ones.

If you have extra funds, maybe making a tarpaulin on an area where there's many people passing by or maybe a billboard if you have more extra funds Smiley. I'm not saying that what you are doing isn't helpful, but in that way, it will make your work less easier and at the same time, you can still share the information with other people. Nevertheless, 10 for the initiative of advertising Bitcoin in your own way.

Alright, it was reported that NorthPort already offered a max contract extension on Robert Bollick. Northport already made a first move but Bolick's side is still silent and has no response on that deal. If NorthPorth was a legit farm team on SMB, why is a contract extension still offered to Bollick?

Just a drama? Just for show? Just for entertainment? I doubt.

NorthPort in fairness likes to keep Bolick and won't just follow what others think of them as a farm team.
Money or title?
Well, he can get both when he goes to SMB so maybe just get the money and then a few years from now, SMB will get him and will have a higher chance to get a title.

Why a contract extension? I believe that the SMB can still get something out of Ross, Lassiter and Romeo and maybe Enciso as well, so they just let NorthPort offer Bollick a max contract extension but in the end, they will just get him in exchange for some players (if Bollick will accept the offer). I believe this is all drama and sh*t. If you are a PBA fan for years and you've been watching these trades, you can already see that SMB's farming team are NorthPort and TerraFirma.

If I'm Bollick, I might try my luck overseas and play in the B-league. I mean B-league already gave sign to him that they will get him if he will play there. More money, more experience, more challenging.
2288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 27, 2023, 02:22:02 AM
Yes, I posted this fight here.


Can't believe Inoue's promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum allow one of his favorite cash cows to go directly facing one of the Super Bantamweight Champions after moving up and won't do some test first facing other boxers here at a lower rank. Maybe they consider Fulton as not really a threat to Inoue so no more testing the environment but facing directly the champion.

Because Bob Arum believed that Inoue can beat Fulton in the super bantamweight. Not saying that Fulton is a weak champion, but Arum knows that Inoue has the advantage in this fight. Fulton has been saying that he wants to move up to 126 lbs, perhaps he has issues with his weight already. If that is the case then he might have a problem with against Inoue.
I watched the video highlights that you shared and just by looking at that fight, I think I will agree with what you said that Inoue has the capability to defeat Fulton.

A 21-0-0 with 8 KO's for Stephen Fulton and 24-0-0 with 21 KO's for Inoue. That knockout rate is something that we need to look out for. Most of Fulton's wins are coming from decisions while Inoue's coming from Knockout. Like you, I don't also look Fulton as a weak champion, but I believe Inoue can defeat this champ.

Is this bout already inked? Because I'm not seeing any news that both camps have already reached a deal and decide to make the fight happen in Saitama, Japan where their profits will be maximized and both camps will surely benefit from it. If so, I will be surprised that Al Haymon didn't even try to react as that's what I am expecting from him right from the start because Fulton is with PBC.
Did a quick research and I guess it's happening on the 7th of June at 5 AM ET and 2 AM PT at Saitama Super Areana in Saitama, Japan.

I wonder why nobody is talking here about the Grizzlies-Warriors match-up where Poole put the game winning shot.

He is the reason why Curry got ejected because of his early shot with more than 10 seconds remaining, but on the other hand, he is also the reason why the Grizzlies are now on a 4 game losing streak. Dynasty?? Cheesy Dynasty in their dreams.

Stephen Curry had great support from Thompson and Poole. I thought the Warriors might actually lose when Stephen Curry was ruled out of this game after throwing his mouth guard which counted as a technical foul. This obviously happened because Poole did not pass him the ball when he was absolutely free. But in the end, Poole did the thing of beauty in the end which resulted in a win for the Golden State Warriors. I'm not going to lie. That was absolutely amazing what he did in the last moment of the game.
He did it out of frustration and who will not get frustrated with that play. They are at the crucial minutes of the game, your team got an offensive rebound, the shot clock is more than 10 seconds left and then you will just the ball out of nowhere? I mean that's a poor decision making coming from Poole, and clearly he is still unexperienced when it comes to times like that. Fortunately, he is the reason why they won and at the dugout, Curry waited for Poole there and Poole threw his mouthpiece as well and hugged each other after that. Player and mentor relationship Smiley.

The list of the starters of each conference in NBA All-star game has been picked already.
For the Western Conference, they got:
  • Lebron James - their captain
  • Nikola Jokic
  • Zion Williamson
  • Stephen Curry
  • Luka Doncic
For the Eastern Conference, they got:
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo - their captain
  • Jayson Tatum
  • Kevin Durant
  • Donovan Mitchell
  • Kyrie Irving

Lebron has been in the all star for the 19th straight time, tying Kareem's number of all-star appearances. Now some might say that why they picked Tatum over Embiid and my opinion with that is, Tatum is playing better than Embiid this season and it's a numbers game. We also saw Donovan Mitchelll as a starter and it's his first time as a starter. I hope Durant can play in the all-star. Any snubs that you can think on?

Tungkol naman sa level, equips at codex, iba na ang basis ngayon para masabi kang malakas (para sa akin). Noong una kasi, ang alam namin basta mataas lang level ok na kaya nagfocus kami sa level sa 73. Nung tumalon kami sa 182, dun ko nalaman na need pala balanced ung pagpapalevel, equipments at codex at hindi focus lang sa iisa. If magfofocus ka sa pagpapalevel, aabutin ka ng 9-10 days pag nasa 115 pataas ka na pero sa ngayon, inaabot ako ng 3 weeks bago maglevel (117 ako) dahil nagfofocus ako sa equipments at codex. Ang pangit tignan nung mga players (para sa akin) na ang taas nga ng level pero ang baba naman ng PS.
ang sakit naman sa damdamin nyang sinabi mo ahaha, ako ang ginagawa ko kasi is every 5 levels ko gagawin yung codex, equips, quests, etc... sa tingin ko kaya medyo napabayaan ko din tong codex ko (currently 380 pa lang) is wala kami masyado naging ka war na as in may threat talaga sa valleys namin sa matagal na panahon. anyway, sa tingin(sana) ko after ko makahabol ng konti sa codex at conquest is aabutin ng at least 180k yung PS ko.
Mejo masakit talaga pero ganyan din naramdaman ko simula nung lumipat ako ng 182. Dun ko narealize na di enough ung level para maging malakas. Sa 182 ko nakita yung mga low levels (nasa around 100-105) pero sa ang codex nila umaabot ng around 450 or mas mataas pa. Ako nga 117 pa lang ako pero 400 pa lang codex ko nahihiya nga rin ako kapag pinapatay ako ng mas mababa ang level sa akin sa 1v1 dahil matataas ang codex at magaganda na rin ang epic equipments nila.

Anyway, may bagong event na naman which is ung Legendary Magic Stone. Sa mga naglalaro na ng matagal, naging event na ito once nung nakaraang taon kasabay nung Legendary Treasure Event na gamit ang Copper. Darksteel ang gagamitin para makapag roll at para makakuha ng sure na Legendary Magic Stone, need mo ng 30M darksteel para dun.

Ang tanong ko sa inyo ay, magtotop-up ba kayo or gagastos ng DS para sa Legendary Magic Stone event na yan. Cheesy

There are some people like six of them who are troublesome to me, they don't want to learn but they like the success stories surrounding crypto investment, not sure about the risk side, the funny thing is they want me to help them invest and choose coins for them, to me this is like breaking the rules of crypto investment, meaning they have no knowledge about what they are investing money on.

Even if they invest what they are ready to lose it still makes no sense, no one can run crypto investment for you while you know nothing about the tech, I told them this but they believe I intentionally do not want help them.  In this case they are the only ones that can help themselves.

If you are in same position like me, no matter how much you like someone or want the best for them do not help them to invest in crypto, they are lazy asses who can't get anything done on their own, and this type of game I don't play it because, in the end, you will become their enemy.  It's already happening and I just ignored them. Is anyone seeing the same thing in their city or country?
I guess I'm a bit fortunate that I don't have friends who are acting like that. I only have a few circle of friends and most of them don't know anything about crypto and I don't want them to teach unless they will approach me. Most of my friends know crypto, but they don't want to invest into it for some reasons and I don't want them to push to invest.

Nevertheless, I already know what to do if that kind of scenario happen to me. If a person is lazy and don't want to learn about crypto, teach them the simplest thing to do and that is to just buy Bitcoin and hold it, but don't teach them how to sell it. If they really wanted to invest into crypto, they will find a way to learn how to sell it. Maybe try to teach them something in the most simplest way, but don't teach them how to sell it. It might work especially if they know that they invested their own money into it.
2292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 26, 2023, 03:10:37 PM
SMB gets Bollick, NorthPort will get either Ross or Lassiter or probably both plus maybe draft picks. They gave Arwind to NorthPort and Cabagnot in TerraFirma so it's pretty obvious that this might happen again soon if Bollick will become a free agent.

So they will have a reunion with Arwind Santos. These players are not yet done, they can make the Northport team better, so let's make that trade happen. Bollick is probably preserve and they will not let him play because they don't want to risk their precious player for trade.
Well, that's what they are doing. They will end up in a farm team and will retire there as well. This is the cycle that SMB is doing.
Independent teams get good players and then they will put it into another independent team and then from there, they will get it and will trade either old or bench players.

Look at Munzon now. NorthPort got him in exchange to some bench players and draft picks I guess. In the next season which is the Philippine Cup, SMB or even Ginebra might get him in exchange for some bench players. The cycle goes on and on and on and there's nothing that the management can do to stop it which is a bit ridiculous if you will ask me.

Nobody is talking about the debut game of the new import of Converge which is Jamaal Franklin.

He almost got a triple double with 42-11-8. Well, compared to Converge's first import which is Rusbatch, this plays far better than him, and with this win they might keep Franklin and will be their import. For now, Rusbatch is now on the reserve list of Converge. TerraFirma's import, Jordan Williams scored 46 points and it's good to see 4 other players scored in double digits in Dyip as well, but it wasn't enough to get the victory.

Money no doubt.

Lets not be a hypocrite. That is the reason why we are investing right? We are investing because we want to grow our money instead of our money being idle in the banks and it's value is being eaten of inflation. We are investing into crypto because we know that it's more volatile and more volatile equals more profit, but at the same time more losses.

There are some investors here that the main reason why they invested is because they don't want their money to be eaten by inflation and that's good. That's also the reason why I invested. I don't want my money to decrease it's value. Even though I still have some money in banks, that's my emergency funds.

No we aren't yet.

I'm a believer of 4-year cycles because I've seen it happening already in 2014-2018 and in 2018-2022. Though there is no guarantee that it might happen again in the future, I always expect that the between the 2nd and 3rd year of the 4-year cycle will always be the year of the bulls.

I watched a video on Youtube regarding 4 market phases of crypto and here are the 4 market phases.
1. Accumulation - This is the time where early adopters and those who have guts to buy at the bottom are starting to buy and it usually happens after market bottoms.
2. Uptrend - Now the market is starting to move higher and forming an uptrend (this seems to be the phase where we at right now).
3. Distribution - Market will reach it's peak and then the sellers will start selling their holdings and taking profits.
4. Downtrend - After sellers selling their holdings, the market will go down and will form a downtrend movement.

This might not applicable to all of the market, but just by looking at the price movement of Bitcoin over the years, I guess that is what's happening on it.

Nice to see Anthony Davis back on the floor for the Lakers. Granted the Spurs aren’t a good measuring stick, but a win is a win. The new guy Hachimura had a good game and AD put up 21 & 12. Only a couple more weeks until LeBron breaks Kareem’s scoring record. It looks like maybe the Lakers might be firing on all cylinders by then as they look to secure a playoff spot in the second half of the season.
21-12 for AD which is a pretty good stat after him being gone for weeks because of that injury again. Well, I'm not saying "I hope he will not get injured again" blah blah because after all, it will not change the fact that AD is an all-star caliber player, but he's very fragile and injury prone player. Nevertheless, it's good to see him back like you said.

12 points in 21 minutes for Hachimura and a near triple double for Lebron James. 158 points to go until he surpasses Kareem. Westbrook didn't play that good tonight, but it's my first time to see Beverley scoring for 18 this season. I mean we know him as a great defender and not a scorer, but he stepped up and got the victory.

I wonder why nobody is talking here about the Grizzlies-Warriors match-up where Poole put the game winning shot.

He is the reason why Curry got ejected because of his early shot with more than 10 seconds remaining, but on the other hand, he is also the reason why the Grizzlies are now on a 4 game losing streak. Dynasty?? Cheesy Dynasty in their dreams.

but now I decided to hold on tight, because from the start I planned for a long term investment. and it's not certain that I can scrape again from the bottom.

I ask for tips from you, how can I be strong enough to resist, and not be tempted by prices that have already increased?
Don't look at the market at all. Uninstall all of your applications that has a connection with cryptocurrency except the wallet where you are storing your Bitcoins.

If your plan is for long term, stick on it. Planning before investing is very important and sticking into it is far more important. I mean you are now up already, but you are being tempted to sell it because...?? Why do you sell it if you don't have any reason at all? Investors like you and me experienced that scenario already where you feel that you want to sell your holdings just because it went up a bit. Sometimes, don't looking at the market at all and sticking to your plans is the best way to not get tempted.

As for me, I admit that I sold some of my holdings around 3 days ago when the pump started, but I sold it because I need to re-invest it into a safer asset which is the stock. I have a reason to sell it and so do you if you really want to sell, but if you don't have any reason then don't do it at all.

CEX deserves all the hates it getting now but doesn't mean it has also not been helpful to bitcoin and crypto space.
CEX will always be there and will help us buy and sell not only Bitcoin but all of the cryptocurrency the particular exchange has been listed.

What happened to FTX did have a contagion effect not only to CEX but all of the companies and projects that has a connection with FTX. CEX being criticized is pretty normal already especially with the exchange this huge will turn out to be a fraud exchange. Investors can hate the CEX as well but that is temporary only and in the end, most who are hating those CEX are the ones who will use them as well. Where they will buy crypto if they wanted to? DEX probably but you can't buy Bitcoin on DEX'es right?

After the whole issues of FTX my advice is though buying from CEX is safer but storing all your funds there should be avoided and for holders just stick with DEX.
It's the same as "Don't store your coins in a CEX" that's all. Cheesy

Even though we are saying this all the time, there are still investors who still prefer storing their coins in an exchanges. Maybe they have a personal reason why they are doing it, but it's riskier than just storing it on your own wallet that you have the private keys.

Magic vs Pacers - Orlando Magic has the homecourt advantage and so I'm going with the handicap  -5.5 @1.90
You almost lost in the Pacers-Magic because the Magic only won by 6 points. Anyway, the young Magic team played very well on their home with all of their starters in double digits. On the other hand, Pacers are playing without their main point guard in Haliburton. Buddy Hield is a very underrated player but he's good at threes as well. Tonight, he shot 6/10 from threes which is a very good one already.

Philadelphia 76ers VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.50 for the 76ers and 2.70 for the Nets, right now Furkan Korkmaz, can not play for the 76ers, and Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play for the 76ers while Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, for this game I think 76ers can make a win if Joel Embiid can play, but if he not this is going to be good for the Nets, but I will go with the Philadelphia 76ers,
Embiid played, got a double-double and the victory on their home.

I thought that the Nets will steal one on the road even though Durant isn't playing, but they lost by only 4 points. The good thing about the Nets is that, they have players that can step up offensively with the absence of Durant. 5 players in double digits with 3 off the bench and Curry is their leading scorer with 32 and 7/10 on threes. Comparing to how the Nets last season and this season without Durant, I guess they are better now with their current roster.

Grizzlies Vs. Warriors. I already put my bet on the Warriors with this one Smiley.

As for NorthPort, Bollick didn't play.....

Aside from injury, there's an ongoing concern between Northport and Bolick.

The future of Robert Bolick playing in the NorthPort is still in question. His contract on the team is about to end in a few days and yet, no progress or development have seen so far. No official announcement related to that and all we know is rumor and speculation.

The latest on that is, Bolick's camp is prioritizing a possible new contract extension with the Nortporth although they have PLAN B if the negotiations fail.

With that statement, it's just creating speculation that the rumor during the last conference, Bolick might end up in SMC teams.
Where is Bollick right now? Ohhh he's on NorthPort right. NorthPort = farming team for SMC. That's a fact. Smiley

I'm leaning more on him being with the SMC teams rather than him on the B-league because there are rumors as well that he might end up in the B-league after his contract with NorthPort. We know already that NorthPort is the farming team of SMC aside from TerraFirma. Well, if there is an ongoing concern between the management and him then I guess we might see him ending up in SMB when he becomes a free agent.

I'm a SMB fan and I always saying, but I always hate them doing some unbalanced trades with other independent teams. This will be the scenario if Bollick will be traded to SMB: SMB gets Bollick, NorthPort will get either Ross or Lassiter or probably both plus maybe draft picks. They gave Arwind to NorthPort and Cabagnot in TerraFirma so it's pretty obvious that this might happen again soon if Bollick will become a free agent.

I don't know if you guys have seen this, but there is a guy on twitter named devin and he is called "number one snitch on nba" and he shows the carries and travels and many other things that players constantly do. If you watch him, we all know this even watching but didn't know it was this bad, you will realize that all the players that we think are good, became good thanks to not caring about certain rules.

I mean if you carry the ball that much, it makes the defender jump because they think you will shoot, and then you just dribble again, that's just making the league a lot worse. I highly suggest watching his videos, he really shows how terrible some players would be if they followed rules.
That happens many times and I guess in every game, there is always uncalled violations like carries and travels.

Fans want a show. They want to see the players to score more often that's why referees opt not to call some violations. TBH, it sucks to see players not being called for these violations. Ball carrying here, travelling there and some fouls that aren't even being called even though it's obvious that it is. On the other hand, we've also seen some referees calling a technical foul or a flagrant to something that isn't a technical foul at all.

A couple of good games on ESPN tonight for the watching. First up you have the 76ers and the Nets. Without Durant, I think the 76ers should be to win easily, but we’ll see. After that, the second game of the doubleheader is between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. This game might be fun to watch. Steph Curry isn’t the most agile defender and Ja Morant is an insane athlete. This could lead to some highlight dunks that you can watch on Sportscenter if you miss the game…
Right now, the Sixers are leading by 10 against the Nets that doesn't have Durant.

Looking at the stats of Nets right now, it's good to see that Kyrie has somebody that will help him offensively now that Durant isn't playing like Curry and Claxton. On the other hand, Maxey is leading the Sixers with 16 points off the bench. I don't think that the Nets will lose that easily to the Sixers even though they are playing on the road. I think it will still be a close one. Cheesy

Grizzlies Vs. Warriors. I love the trash talking between these 2 teams, and I still can't remember how Thompson looked at Brooks for about 10 seconds after he fell down. Cheesy Grizzlies are a dynasty? Maybe they need to win a title first before calling themselves a dynasty. They need to prove something first before telling that word.
