I'm going with the Nuggets +5.5 against the Bucks, they are the underdog, but I think the +5.5 will be a good bet for me @2.09. Let's see if I can win back to back.

The Bucks are playing the Mavericks. The Nuggets are playing against the Lakers in what is a must win game for them if they want to have any hope for the playoffs. The Nuggets are getting JaMychal Green back from injury, so that should give them a little boost and they are expected to win so LeBron is backed in a corner with the spread on his side. Might be a game the Lakers are worth betting on. I’m going to try and watch at noon on ABC. Hopefully Westbrook can shoot over 50%.

My mistake mate, I mean the Mavericks +5.5 against the Bucks and it's a good odd and a win for me because they have defeated the Bucks.

James didn't play against the Nuggets, but Davis did. Another good game for him, almost triple double but they feel short. Not sure if there is anyone here who bet on the Nuggets because the line at -3.5 is @1.85 still good odds against a struggling Lakers.

This is very interesting game for me, but I'm leaning towards the Hawks though, at +1.5 which a very attractive odds @2.05.

The Hawks are winning their last 4 and this is crucial games for them at their home court. I'm expecting Trae Young to thrive on this kind of pressure games, this will be another playoff atmosphere tonight.
Cheers bro, you hit it. It's a close game but the Hawks dominate and as you predicted, it is Trae Young who happened to have the hot hands. KD with 55 points but still not enough to win the game. Turnovers are a big difference as I saw a lot of broken play by the Nets with their off-target pass.

Congrats to you as well mate, I know that we felt victims on the last couple of games as we lost our bets, at least we have recovered some today.

I'm going with the Nuggets +5.5 against the Bucks, they are the underdog, but I think the +5.5 will be a good bet for me @2.09. Let's see if I can win back to back.

do you want to spread FUD for Ethereum?, look guys!,
you should really make news that promises to drop the price of Ethereum!,

I understand you, because I once sold Ethereum at $100, and now I really regret it,
 if you want Ethereum at a low price, too bad you're wasting your time

If he is spreading FUD then for sure he won't succeed because his claim is really is unreasonable. And as a community, we know how solid Ethereum and Ethereum based project is, yeah I know the gas fees are very high that we can't afford it, but they are working very hard about it.

I sold Ethereum at $80, and yes I also regret it, but it doesn't mean you can't re-invest on them again and make money. That's the beauty of crypto, you can manage to chase what you may have lost.

No chance for the Nets to be in the top 6, with the loss to the Hawks, they'll be in the play-in tournament.

I don't understand why Irving and Durant try to do everything in the scoring department, they don' share the ball well, in this loss, only two of them have scored a double-digit, not good for a team.

If they will lose in the play-in tournament, that would be a major disappointment for the fans because they were expecting the Nets to compete in the playoff which is in jeopardy right now because of the current play they have in court which does not really have a good result so far. luckily only a few games left in the season because if there were more games, they are more likely to become like the Lakers who are out of the play-in tournament.

I doubt they'll lose in the play-in tournament.. Maybe the Lakers will but not the Nets. Durant and Irving have the experience in the playoffs, and they get better in that kind of situation, just like the past playoffs, if only Irving was not injured, they might beat the Bucks that time.

Yeah, I do agree, however, it's only Durant and Irving that is carrying the load for the Nets. Drummond maybe as the 3rd choice? or maybe Curry? but they are inconsistent. Just like the game tonight, Durant pour in 55, but they still lost.

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.
2385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: April 03, 2022, 11:20:49 AM
I'm starting to laugh at this one because you guys are the one who is anxious instead of Casimero who have been bombarded with misleading news. Just let that be, Casimero himself isn't even affected.

It's ok, mate. They are just sharing sentiments. Cheesy

Actually, it was a sensitive issue, and just to give you some thoughts, a pending lawsuit can affect the boxer's schedule and WBA might not allow him to fight. It's obvious that Casimero is not affected but surely it was on his mind and let's say that's not true, they still need to address the issue and answer the complaint at the given place and time at which the accused Casimero should also be present once the trial started. In other words, too much hassle even Casimero is not guilty.

The Tweet by Paul Butler's camp is just proof that there might be a change of plan since they know a boxer can't just fight if there's an ongoing lawsuit. Fortunately, no news about that and seems that there will be no problem.

Or Butler just playing mind games with Casimero, he might not used the case issue against John Riel blatantly, but this is somewhat a subtle attack on him.

So it's either Casimero will be affected or will he be ore motivated to knock out Butler because of that kind of "trash talking". So we will see, we are almost there, we just have to patience specially the odds on this fight because we wanted to beat already.


That would not change the focus of Casimero, it is he who use to do the trash-talking to distract his opponent, so no one could beat him on his own game. The fight will happen based on the official announcement, so Butler has to be ready to win in front of his fans watching the fight.

Agree with that, Casimero is a tough guy, no one can put him down through words only or any kind of distraction unless it's a life and death situation. This fight is not really popular, I mean, only a few are talking about this fight but it's still important that Casimero has to win no matter what so he will get his ultimate goal which is to beat Inoue.

Well if he can dish those trash talk, then he should know how to handle it as well. And for sure Casimero might just laugh it off if Butler is trying to play mind tricks on him because he himself has done it so he knows not to fall for it and just focus on the fight and win it with a great highlite reel knockout or might go to distance but with a convincing win.

We should understand where Mike is coming from, one of the biggest whales in the bitcoin market. And he has a lot of wealthy clients who is into bitcoin so obviously, he will have to be a perma bull, no matter what's going on around the world (war between Ukraine and Russia). But as crypto being adopted globally, just a matter of time before the price will explode.
2387  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: About Scam coin in wallet on: April 02, 2022, 11:57:08 PM
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 .
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.

Scam tokens have been existed and it become prevalent in the 2017 timeframe wherein there has been a lot of rug pulls and projects exiting with investors money.

Of course you can't exchange or swap it to anything as obviously no one will accept any scam coins because it has no worth at all.

To stop scam? no it's hard to detect it in the beginning, but if you study and look at it and be more careful next time, maybe you wouldn't invest on them.

I was shocked to see the final score on the Osaka vs Swiatek match, Swiatek completely dominated Osaka specially in the second game wherein she score a bagel in the finals.

Well, if you look at her winning path, Swiatek registered twice 6-0 wins if I'm not mistaken. But this is finals so I'm not expecting here to score like that specially against a come backing Osaka.

So congrats to Swiatek, Sunshine double winner.

Hawks vs Nets - This will be the most fun game of all. Tied at 40 wins and 37 losses. 1 team will take the 8th spot if they win and the other will fall to the 10th seed. I'll support the Nets -3.5.

This is very interesting game for me, but I'm leaning towards the Hawks though, at +1.5 which a very attractive odds @2.05.

The Hawks are winning their last 4 and this is crucial games for them at their home court. I'm expecting Trae Young to thrive on this kind of pressure games, this will be another playoff atmosphere tonight.
2390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 02, 2022, 07:08:27 PM
I definitely agree about that, these two boxers doesn't hold any grudge on each other nor they are representing Ukraine and Russia. Bivol and Canelo are just two famous boxers who are fighting for the belt and championship, the situation is just a coincidental which makes Bivol as the enemy in the eyes of people just because of the mere fact that he is Russian. Isn't that unfair? I think that's why they are considering to take this fight in Dubai because in that country, the people are neutral and have no beef on Bivol's nationality.
I think moving the fight to Dubai could make sense, probably this is something that Canelo is not very happy about as there are a lot of Mexicans living at the US so he would be guaranteed to have the support of the public if the match took place there, but since the attendance could be compromised due to the nationality of Bivol then it makes sense to consider other avenues to hold the fight which will not have as much of a problem with the fact that Bivol is a Russian athlete.

I doubt that the fight will be moved to Dubai though, the money to be made in in the US based on Canelo's fans. This is scheduled on Cinco de Mayo or at least in that week wherein they are celebrating that holiday.

I think the boxing fans just wanted to see a good fight regardless of Bivol's nationality. And maybe if Bivol will make it a very interesting fight, like what we expect of him, perhaps there will be no animosity but just for pure entertainment for us.
2391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 02, 2022, 06:46:01 PM
The struggle was justifiable, Nets were a good team but missing Durant for many games really bring their ranking to go down, IIRC, they were able to stay at the top 1 this season. But look at the situation now, Durant and Irving is already playing, they are now a solid team.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving just have to maintain healthy. One of them got injured, that will be the end of the road for them. That's the problem with Brooklyn Nets as they have no strong backups. Injuries are really unexpected even though these players are doing their best not to get injured.

Nets even at the 7th spot are now the Favorites to win the Eastern Conference with the same odds for the Milwaukee Bucks. The next one is Philadelphia Sixers with an odds of @5 to win the ECF Title.

It's really interesting if you look at the odds for the Eastern Conference, the Nets is struggling and not even in the top 4 and yet they are the favorite as per sports bookies, this could be a trap.

There were scary moments in their last game when Durant twist his ankle as he drive and replay shows he step into someone's foot. Good thing is that he was able to continue and play. Just imagine if that injury is worst than he have thought, for sure it will be the end of their championship dreams again.
2392  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts Bitcoin price by 2025 on: April 02, 2022, 11:22:58 AM
Perhaps the conservative estimates should be around $100k.

And this has been the prediction as of 2021, we all know that most crypto influencers have this numbers last December. But it didn't happen, but the chances are high that we are going to hit it in the next bull run in 2025, so I will go with Max Keiser prediction.
If that's just an estimate, I think the price of bitcoin in 2025 could be more than $100k because many factors will trigger the price to go up one step at a time. Maybe one of the factors is the adoption process that will continue to increase, especially from companies that will invest their money in bitcoin to get multiple profits. But it's also possible that in 2025 bitcoin will get another bull run. So we better wait and see what will happen in that year.

Right, that's why I said conservative estimates, so it could go higher than $100k because that could be the bench mark start for the next bull run in 2025. Yes, maybe in the next couple of years, adoption is full blown and every people would have known bitcoin by that time. So patience is the key here, we can't hurry up, all we have to do is wait and be calm to at least 2025 and see how it goes.

^^ I don't think there will be no pressure on GGG, he just needs to be himself and just be the aggressor and fight as usual and for sure the KO will happen, if not then a UD is not that bad. The fight could have been made even if GGG loses, but maybe the organizers knows that GGG will not lost or the chances are very slim so that they already committed to it.

^^ Is Lebron or AD contract gonna expire as well next year? If that is the case, then maybe, just maybe either one of them are going to leave as well? What are the chances of that? So they should trade bait Westbrook to get a new player that will help more and understand his role if Lebron or AD chooses to stay and make just one more round at the championship. They don't want to end their stint with the Lakers in a bad note.

Davis has a contract until the 23/24 season, and he has a player option for the 24/25 season while LeBron's contract expires next year. However, it seems to me that Lebron will probably re-sign a new contract with the Lakers for at least another couple of seasons. As for Westbrook, I expect he will most likely leave in the upcoming offseason, although he also has a player option for next season.

Oh ok, as I was expected, Lebron contract will be expiring so it will be interesting on what will be his decision although it's better for him to retire as a Laker to put his name on the great Laker dynasty. After all he has brought a championship already. AD's case might be different though, who knows maybe he will request for a trade.

Pegula vs Świątek the next semifinals!
Swiatek won with an impressive performance, and this year she's been amazing, at final will face Osaka this match is very likely to last 3 sets, this year she is already win 2 WTA 1000 and could be this the third for her and I bet for her to lift the throphy.

It will be Swiatek vs Osaka for the finals in the womens side.

Might be a 3rd set, I do agree, Osaka will have to play perfectly against Swiatek if she wanted to win in this tournament. If I'm not mistaken, this is Osaka's first final appearance after a long time so the pressure is on her to perform very well. Current line for Osaka ML @2.4.

2398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 31, 2022, 05:50:16 PM
I doubt it, his trainer knows better, every fighter is different, there is no one size fits all strategy. Besides, Manny is already old had cramps that's why his game plan is also different.
The strategy in the match will always be different even though the trainer will apply the same strategy as an opportunity to win, in fact it is more accurate when matches such as the Ugas vs Manny fight take advantage of the age factor to continue to attack rather than defend, but fighting with Spence must be prepared with the right strategy because Spence younger than him.

A taller boxer, with decent speed and power, so it will be obvious that Ugas will have to adjust to Spence in this fight and not used the same strategy. Nevertheless, he will still rely on what he knows best, which is to be a defensive fighter and uses his jab in order to try and see how Spence will react and then as the fight goes on, adjust. Whether to stay defensive or be the aggressor.
but maybe it will be different I think he doesn't really like waiting games and prefers to go straight to brutal attacks if he sees the fight he did before.
tempo reduction is important but he is not the type to play casually and wait I think this must be maximized whether he will change his game or try as usual because it looks like these two strategies will still have consequences because if he waits indirectly he gives flexibility to Spence later

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.

Yeah, but me thinks that this sudden surge of price might not hold and I'm not feeling comfortable with it. It's better to have a steady and slow growth or a massive downturn and and slow recovery.

And so with the current movement, wherein someone is pumping it to even levels of $44k-$45k, we might be getting the traders to the edge and who knows, maybe they are going to be push over the edge in the next couple of months and will decided to sell just to make a quick money specially those who have invested when the price is below $40k.
I am also expecting a major sell out in the meantime by institutional investors who entered the market well before the halving and whenever we see a pump in the market i feel like they will be booking their profits and i really do not think that they will dump everything all of a sudden and they are booking their profits strategically. I am curious to see how long this push will continue before going for a correction and then repeating the same process over again.

Yes, maybe testing the liquidity again that's why the prices really dip after reaching all time high and now we are seeing the same pattern. We reached $48k but slowly, the price is coming down again to the $45k'ish. So obviously the sell-off has started already so I might be right by saying that the market doesn't look good and I'm not comfortable with it's run to $48k. Someone is playing again and taking advantage.

The only problem facing bitcoin holder is time, I mean you need to have a mentality not to be tempted and sell out specially when we reaches new all time high. So it's better to really understand that and learn to practice and restrain yourself from selling. For the majority they could have a target of at least 1 BTC (for average investors or even more), but for whales sky is the limit. So most probably 2-4 halvings from now is a good gauge and see if we can hit our target or remain to be in the game.
