TNT -3.5 vs Magnolia (o-u 185)

Magnolia's keys to winning:

a) if they can work out to limit committing early fouls
b) a boost and adjustment from Calvin Abueva and Paul Lee
c) stop TNT Poy Erram's dominance at the paint

They are surely doing great work limiting Mikey Williams but that's it. That allows other TNT players to make that an advantage instead.

If none of those were done, that should be TNT -3.5 and will advance to Finals now.

Unless there's an attempt to make it to another game for much more ticket sales for revenue purposes lol. Just kidding. Cheesy

First half and the score is 59-45 in favor of the Hotshots, though there's so much time left but if they continue on what they did, Magnolia will survive this one and we will see a game 6. There's a balance on the offensive output on the guys for Magnolia with Barroca leading the way with 16 points while Paul Lee and Abueva have 9 apiece.


Hotshots won the game, they really bounced back, this time they made sure they will dominate TNT.

On the game 2, we have Meralco leading again, it looks like the same scenario in game 3, if they'll win this they'll be one win ahead to be in the Finals.

Aaron Black is scoreless tonight, not good for Meralco, they needed him to perform but he was not a factor. I guess SMB has a great chance of winning this game, they will take the lead 3-2 after tonight.

Black got 4 points i think in the whole game, i think he got while posting the smaller Enciso.

Fortunately the SMB Beermen survived that scare from the Bolts where they were only up by two points but the breaks of the game favored the Beermen. Just noticed in the last 6 minutes of that game, no Ross, no Lassiter, no Vic Manuel in the court. Is this the sign that coach Austria is preparing to transition from the Death Five to newer players?

Congrats to all backers of SMB, no problem with the spread as they covered that one and this is the first time also that the two SMB teams won in a single night.

Meralco was too careless, they had two turnovers that was taken advantage by the SMB. Now that SMB is leading the series, I think it's very clear that it will be SMB vs TNT in the Finals.  Smiley You guys are so smart because you choose SMB and TNT on the betting.

ETH deserves to be first. ETH has the most used utility of all cryptocurrency community of any altcoin. It's just that bitcoin is too historic to go down, but it doesn't matter we can claim that ethereum is ranked very high in terms of utility.
NO, Ethereum remains as an altcoin no matter how useful it was - Bitcoin is also very useful in other areas.
To be 2nd in rank is already enough to recognize ETH and serve its dominating power over altcoins while Bitcoin dominates the entire crypto market. But for me, it was not important who is the 1st or 2nd, what is important is that people know them, their purpose, and their potential. In fact, the majority had just considered them as an investment, not of any other consideration.

If it falls then it falls. I always curb my expectations in the bear market and thanks to this I can face the negativity should it come.
When we fell below 20k I knew this is as much blood on the streets as it gets and fear&greed index confirmed it. We were at one of the lowest levels in history.
That said, next year is going to be like 2020, a slow but sure recovery. If you have some fiat money at hand, you better be ready.
And we have to be aware of the situation that any time of the day prices may fall back low, more than on what we imagine. It is something that we have to be prepared always and never get surprise because this is how the market work, dumps may strike unexpectedly and so the pump. Yes, i was also positive to what it happen next year, however, whether it was pump or still in the same situation, I'm still holding my cryptos and waited for the next bull season. I know it wasn't really a long wait for us.
2365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador will be the richest country in the world in 8 years? on: August 11, 2022, 11:56:43 PM

Yes, The earth is blessed with mineral and natural resources deep within its bowels. Every country has some sort of resource that’s deposited and they could tap into and generate revenue for its economy. When I speak of natural resources, I do not only speak of oil which is one of the vip resources cause of our over dependence on it for energy uses. A country that’s aiming at being self sustaining is a country on its way to becoming a rich country.

i don't think they will achieve such status in these coming years. but i do hope that their economy will improve. also, it is not about bitcoin being the legal tender that will alleviate the status of El Salvador, but it is the combination of other factors like what you said, the exploration of their natural resources. and of course, how their government officials are managing the financial aspect of their country itself.
The future of this country lies in the hands of the President and his government official, especially in their finance department.
We can't make any assumptions about their failure but to let them work based on their plan, never works instantly and I know it. Might to say it was hard for them but who knows if they will improve and change strategy next year after seeing their previous performance?

I don't know what is their plan nor do we have but I know they are working hard for the success of it.
2366  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one do you think its more healthy for a project on: August 11, 2022, 11:42:58 PM
it will be healthier for those who strictly follow their roadmap. I saw many of them stalled due to market conditions so the delay brought the roadmap to a halt and the community faded away. I understand being in a negative market will definitely have an impact on public sales and launch prices but I think it will break even with the trust from the community for a project that always follows the roadmap on time.
Strictly following the roadmap is something everyone wants, but as you say, it is difficult or even impossible because there will be so many impacts that we cannot foresee. The delay is there, we can sympathize with them as long as they always update and give regular reports to investors instead of delay and silence.
Delays may be considered but doing shortcuts can make some negative assumptions about the legitimacy of the project and a sort of negative speculations. I guess we don't want to see the project with that as we know that TRUST is very important. That is why they should have to do their best to follow what has been stated on the roadmap, otherwise it could be a reason for the investors to become doubted and might their option not to invest this anymore.

Most of the sources of gambling news have plenty of promotions, actually, there's not much interesting news about gambling because if there's a news, it's only on how people failed or get addicted in gambling since no one that is winning are willing to share his stories.
2368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 11, 2022, 10:57:24 AM
Thanks @harizen for updating the bets on SMB, looks like SMB is not yet sure will advance but TNT is already ahead with a 3-1 lead. I'm hoping SMB will win next game so they'll have a good lead and they might end it in 6.

We will find that out tomorrow.



TNT might be able to finish the series but I'm sure SMB will go ahead in the series. The spread will still be high for sure, but I'm thinking of backing them even if it's high as I believe they will win by double digit. Not touching the Magnolia vs TNT game, it's hard to predict that game.
2369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 10, 2022, 02:23:23 PM
^^ If I'm not mistaken, it was Spence who said that if this fight fell off, he might go up to 154 pounds and fight Charlo for his belt, they are close though, so this fight is going to be in intriguing match up.

https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/errol-spence-jr-ill-fight-jermell-charlo-if-the-money-is-right/qjic7626975v1ougby4lhrgsq

That was the time when there's no clear chance that he will fight Crawford. But on the other hand, Crawford also like to face Charlo at 154 lbs. If they have the same target and if these Crawford vs Spence won't be organized officially, I wonder who will face Jermell Charlo.

It's just a waste moment for me that we will not see this big fight if ever things not worked out properly. I don't see any reason why this fight should not happened. Spence even mentioned before that there's no thing on their way for this fight not to happened. Crawford on the other hand has also the same view that his fight against Spence will really happened.

But even both boxers are positive that their fight will soon happened, we still don't see any good news about the progress of this fight.

Spence should stop making excuses, he should focus on his fight with Crawford and make sure it will happen his year. There's no reason that they will move when one of them cannot be an undisputed champion, I hope they will not be greedy, it's time to give the fans what we are hoping to see.
2370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 10, 2022, 01:49:29 PM
I've read an update from the Lakers in social media that they might probably going to re-run the Lakers roster with AD, Westbrook, and James and this time they'll run the offense primarily with AD and Westbrook so they can execute a better offensive plays.
Did some of you guys heard the same news?
IMO, they also need to improve their defense, because that's a more reliable weapon than just improvising the offensive end without bringing the defensive plan on the table.

It's more of AD, I will agree to that and if I'm not mistaken during their championship run, it was really AD as their first choice in offense, even last season. The problem is that AD gets injured more often and just play minimal minutes and not 100% healthy. If he will be injury free next season then good as he will get a lot of touches in the paint, probably posting some big men. And then throw it out to their shooters for open shot, even WB can be a good option in the 3's. Or the receiver can do a quick penetration for easy two or dunks.

Seems like it, they will start to play like they were in 2020 when they got the title but this time with a slight change in their roster because back at that time, they don't have Westbrook and they got more extra players that could be reliable when one of their main line-ups is resting.

I believe Darvin Ham has a plan and part of that is utilizing Westbrook's capabilities while AD will do most of the offense, this might work. Let's find out soon, they just have to be healthy throughout the season though.

He is a new coach, it's a big pressure on his part because people are thinking that the big 3 are really good but the main problem is only the coaching staff. If the organization fired the coach who brought them a championship, I'm expecting that Darvin Ham will fired as well if the Lakers will fail again in the season to come.
2371  Economy / Speculation / Re: Speculators : Bitcoins is up now 21k buy buy buy ! but... on: August 10, 2022, 01:25:47 PM

Currently Bitcoins will struggle under 25k for one or two weeks. So it would be better if you buy it now and hold for a couple of months. By the end of the year, definitely BTC will reach upto 50k usd.
I'm not sure about $50k and we don't have any assurance. We can't also assume that everything will be fined in the coming days but for me, and based on its current market performance that is somewhat impossible nor we can see a huge pump this year. I couldn't say I was right but as we can recall and check back on the previous bear season, it never ends in just a year but it extends to more than a year.  

Well, it has been said that nobody knows what comes next.
2372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin become a global currency ? on: August 10, 2022, 12:46:04 PM
I do think so and not only gonna serve as global currency but also serve other purposes, However I believe that is where we're heading into right now and in my opinion,  that is next main event remaining for Bitcoin where everything will no longer be be priced base on dollar but in Bitcoin. It just a matter of time since they're trying to do away about everything regarding the old monetary system and moving us into different economy which involves digital currency like Bitcoin and Ethereum, therefore in this new world order system I believe Bitcoin is gonna be that global reserve currency to use by everyone around the world.
I'd never see other purposes for its creation but just being considered as a currency. However, people had looked at the other side of Bitcoin, and taking this as an investment is somewhat unbelievable yet profitable in the end. Yes, it is a matter of time, that certainly comes someday, in fact, it was started already in some place like El Salvador - that is quite impressive and serves as an example that Bitcoin really has the potential to be considered as a currency and used globally.
2373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Educating people on Bitcoin for free on: August 09, 2022, 11:13:51 PM
I'd see the effort you made OP. Many have made their own search online but I see it was more effective if there is someone who would teach you personally and can answer questions directly and in detail. Doing this is not easy but as you are motivated to do this, nothing will come to your mind. I hope your neighbors will never miss this chance and they will appreciate the hard work you've made in order to see the good things about Bitcoin and have the idea why many people had take the risk of investing in this.

That was the good start of their crypto journey as they understand it.
2374  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bullish VS Bearish on: August 09, 2022, 10:37:46 PM
I entered this forum because I feel that the potential for bitcoin is huge in the future and of course it will remain the king of crypto. So obviously I don't believe bitcoin will fall to $1100 for now. unless the 10 largest exchanges in the world go bankrupt. I see a bullish trend which will then become new ATH.
That was the mindset. Yeah, we are hopeful that everything went well in the future and that Bitcoin will never disappoint us. Despite of the situation whether it was bearish or bullish, we still invest and risk some money for this believing that we can make a huge profit in the future, not that we think its price will drop and gives us losses. We really think it was impossible as it was not how it looks like.
2375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: August 09, 2022, 11:44:58 AM
So far we have 9 votes total, 7 for Teofimo Lopez to win by KO/TKO. I guess it make sense for our boxing community to see Lopez as winning this fight against Pedro Campa.
Make that 8, just cast my vote.

Stake has it Lopez at 1.04 and Campa at 11.00. However, there is no odds for the KO and the over and under rounds. It could be 7.5 rounds, I reckon. But we will have to wait, can't bet on the ML for Lopez as there is no value. But if you love to bet on the underdog and pull an upset then Campa's odd is great.
yes, that's an obvious win, and about the odds, maybe we have to wait more like a day before the fight as it will likely be available. I'm interested on knowing the odds for Lopez by KO, if that 2+, I'll probably put a bet on it.
2376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 09, 2022, 10:55:28 AM
We have the game 4 odds already.

SMB -6.5

Hotshots +2.5 ( This one is really interesting, after listed as +5.5 underdog in game 3, they are now only +2.5, so something is fishy here)
My guess, Magnolia will likely win here and even the series.
2377  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A little profit for $17k+ buyers on: August 08, 2022, 11:51:53 PM

snipped...

If we take into account a long-term analysis this can and does seem to be a fairly strong correction, but I think that reaching levels of 48-$9k is going back to an accumulation, and this should not be ruled out, for me this from the point From the point of view of Wyckoff's theory, the fact that the price is in values above $20k and can even reach $25k is when we talk about the effort that some whales make to see how the offer is, if the offer is very strong. offer is not a good time to raise the price, but to attack with a few shorts for those weak hands to sell their btc cheap, this is some of the most common strategies.

Buying Low and Selling High is the most effective trading strategy.
Like the price presented by OP, selling it today is already a huge profit to think, having a $5000 increase I was already happy with that. And besides, it was not too long that waited for the price pumps, imagine this be going to happen monthly, the results are really profitable. But yes, we need to be wise and it is more on a strategic approach, especially in this volatile market.

A complete to you mate who does this simple teaching, yet it gives a lot of positives insights and even changes their minds the way they think about Bitcoin before. I see how important this education is for them and likely gives them an opportunity to understand what Bitcoin is all about and how the crypto market works. Because those who never understand it in their mind it was a Ponzi scheme, scam, and full negativity. In this way, they were able to spread the reality about Bitcoin and correct those wrong speculations.
2379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 08, 2022, 11:56:26 AM
This is what I like in Game 3 of the series between Magnolia and TNT. The game is unpredictable even though there are times that both teams have a nice lead. We can both teams give their best to catch up once behind and make the game close as possible.

I have noticed that both teams have their players not on their usual performance last night:

TNT = Mikey Williams
Magnolia = Paul Lee

But Mikey Williams still have the good numbers last night and he's not known for having 2 straight games at worst. Paul Lee on the other hand seems not on his usual playing level. He was even considered "dinadaga" in Pinoy terms on that Game 3 match where he is not supposed to feel that.

Mikey Williams still have good numbers and there's Castro to save his butt, it was a veteran shot that Castro took knowing that they don't have a timeout and the adrenaline rush is really needed, a winning shot that he always capable of doing nothing to say but he still the old Castro we know, tough heart with full responsibilities to whatever the risk that might happen after that shot.

Good thing that it favors them and a winning shot happens for them to lead the series again..

I'm liking the Magnolia despite the fact that they lose in this game, they were eager to win and they played great defense all throughout the game. Abueva also showed consistency, so game 4 for sure is going to be a close game and hopefully Magnolia will win to even the series.

Well, if you think they'll be able to win the series, first they have to even the series first, and that means they will have to win in game 4. There's no betting lines yet but I'm sure Magnolia will still remain as the underdog in game 4, so Moneyline odds is going to be attractive for sure.

There's no betting lines yet because the game will resume on Wednesday.

Most likely, the odds will be available a day before the game, so we can expect that to open by tomorrow evening, that time you can put your bet.

^^ It could be the last straw that finally nail the coffin for Durant to request a trade, specially if Irving was ship to other team as well. Will continue the drama for Durant and he doesn't like Ben, the way I read it. Nevertheless he has a meeting with the owner a few days ago if I'm not mistaken and maybe this is one point that they have may discussed, how to deal with the continuing Ben Simmons drama that spill over from Sixers to their Nets.

I'm really surprised how things end up with this popular trade, I thought everything will end up once Ben Simmons was traded to the Nets but instead, the star players don't want him either. Why did they get him in the first place?

Right now, they creating bigger problems and they really need to fix this thing first before they can think of who they will get to fix their current rooster. The NBA next season is right around the corner and the other teams are already progressing and look like the Nets are left behind. Now that they cannot progress like the other team, they really need to move on and do what's best for their team.

I don't think that Simmons is the problem, I believe they were disappointed with their performance last playoffs and they cannot accept they got swept by the Celtics in the first round. Well, they can request to be traded because they believe they are in demand, but Nets knows how to play the game, they ask for a trade that is hard to deal with other teams.
