Updated record 25-26 (49%)
Denver ML got it but loss on Miami and Suns. Let's keep moving with new picks for later games.
1-Dallas -8 - Loss
Back at home and came from a blowout loss to the Celtics, I think they'll give that kind of recipe to the undermanned visiting team.
2-Clippers +1 win
Westbrook is out but the big 3 starter is complete. Based on their previous games, wolves have 4 win streak against the Clippers, I guess it's time to break that.
3-OKC -4.5 win
Booker might not play due to injury and they are on a back to back game. I like the well rested OKC here.
4-Cleveland -5.5... loss
Updated record 27-28 (49%)Clippers +5 Back to back game for the Clippers after a big win in Minny. Now they'll play the well rested Bucks who are in a 5 winning streak. Bucks might continue the win streak but I'm hoping they'll loss on the spread. OKC+1 This team is gonna keep rolling, so I'm still riding them. Jazz -6.5 After losing all the road games, I think they are set to bounce back at home where they are good at. A blowout win is expected here. |

I use Premium VPN but only for casinos that are friendly with VPN use and also use this VPN only to bypass blocking from the provider, not because I want to cheat and so on, and it seems that using VPN nowadays for gambling is a normal thing, and if there is any players who are having problems using a VPN are very likely because there is something else suspicious that causes the casino to ban the account.
It seems impossible for the casino to ban just because of using a VPN.
However, for players who really prefer to use a VPN, they should first check the terms and conditions of the casino regarding VPN If it turns out that it is not allowed, it would be better not to force yourself to keep playing there because there are quite a lot of online casinos nowadays and can be used as an option by checking first.
Reading the terms of our favorite casino is the first step, since there are some casinos that are friendly towards that practice as long as you are not abusing their bonuses or other offers, however there are casinos that are not friendly towards the use of a VPN and anyone doing so is taking a massive risk, as if they were to win big there, their profits could go unpaid, and even if we may consider such policy unfair, ultimately each casino can enforce any policies they may like. The terms say it all; you read them, and you'll know if they are allowed or not. I don't know what "friendly" specifically means, as that is indefinite, so it's possible they are friendly at the beginning but then later decide not to be friendly? There should be a real specification in the TOS as that is our basis when applying something different on a gambling site, like using a VPN service, and it's either it's a go or no. |

But for the PPV, there are no price yet, but it will be in the range of $70-$80 if I will speculation.
I will be leaning to as high as 1 million PPV to as low as 750,000 buy. I think Ryan can bring this kind of money in his fight right now, last fight is not PPV against Duarte, but he has set the record with Tank Davis last year with 1.2 million PPV.
This could be the range, as they are not that popular, or the fight is the unification fight. I think Pacman vs Mayweather PPV was around $80-90, so your speculation is quite on point. Regarding the PPV total revenue, last time Ryan fought, which was against Tank Davis, they were able to sell 1.2 million PPV, so 1 million is quite realistic. But this might not break that fight since Tank Davis has a different appeal, being a KO artist, exciting to watch in the ring. https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/gervonta-davis-vs-ryan-garcia-fight-pay-per-view-numbers-live-gate-exceed-expectations-in-las-vegas/ |

On this case, Drake is casino partner that’s why he can bet freely without any limit. This is the perks of their partnership deal but aside from Drake, There’s still a lot of high roller on Stake that doesn’t have a problem on wagering huge amount even though they win most of their bets.
Which means OP's case is quite different since he only bet $300 and got denied. I think that's too small to get denied. We know how rich Stake is; we can even see them advertising on big boxing events, and probably other sports too. I think if we have a representative from Stake here, it's better if it will be confirmed, as this could be just a miscommunication, or we don't know if OP is telling the truth since there was no single evidence attached to his statement. |

Updated record 24-24 (50%)
Back to 50%, still not profitable now. So let's keep grinding....
1-Denver ML - win
It was all Denver in the last 3 meetings, so there's no reason to fade the Denver here. Murray btw is questionable, but hopefully he'll play.
2-Miami Heat -7.5 - loss
Utah Jazz keep their curse not playing well on the road, so Miami Should have a home win after a long road trip, and hopefully they will cover the spread
3-Suns -9.5 l loss
I think we will see the same outcome, Suns will win but this time will cover.

Jake is just taking the traditional boxer path and scooping up some wins for his record between lining up big fights. I don’t blame him. This is just the state of boxing right now. He did easily win this one though and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to pay to see that. Another KO for Jake Paul is a good thing though. Next…
First-round KO by Jake Paul... That was impressive, but we can see his opponent seemed not in condition, as we can see. Still, a good win, though. We can't take this away from him, as Jake Paul really showed that he can also be dominant like this. So for sure, they are already cooking up a new opponent for him this year, probably not someone like Ryan Bourland who didn't really come to win. After all, odds justify why Jake Paul was the heavy favorite, so no surprise here. |

Yeah absolutely. Playoff Bron is fun to watch. We don't have that much longer watching him so enjoy it now. The problem with older players though is how fast they bounce back from injuries, with age comes longer recovery times. One key injury before or at playoff time will crush them.
Hopefully, no injuries will trouble the Lakers as they are trying to improve their ranking. Nuggets vs. Lakers was fun to watch. The Lakers had a strong start, but just like their previous meetings, they again choked in the 4th quarter and this time lost by double digits. They cannot really beat the Nuggets, so if they ever face off in the playoffs, we already know what the scenario would be. LeBron had a decent performance, but the big factor here is the rebounding area. The Lakers only had 31, while the Nuggets had 47.they |

Honestly, it’s hard to send merits to those posters you dislike in the forum.
It's an irresistible thing for most people.  They can't keep personal grudges aside in such matters, besides, why would you want someone to be considered good when you generally don't like them or what they do? Even if it doesn't have anything personal to do with the user who is to receive the Merits, if you don't like their posting habits, writing style, or anything in general, you wouldn't want to Merit a post that they do which is constructive. However, if one can let go of their ego, that would be much better, for the forum.  Meriting a post should not be based on ego or personal emotions, but you merit a post because the poster deserves it. By being deserved means you are appreciating his post because it’s based on fact, and you give him merit because it’s actually on point on the given topic. There are great posters in the forum, but there are actually exceptional posters that exceed our expectations from them. Those are the ones that should be given higher appreciation so that they will continue to inspire and motivate others to do the same thing. |

One of the person whom I know that face criticism was Bukele the president of El Salvador. Upon all the criticisms the guy didn't give up and continue to strengthen the coin in the country till now. I have also been looking for the latest development of El Salvador economic with bitcoin in the country and I discovered that they are doing well though the number of people using the coin is not much as that but after this all time high then the crusaders will also join the investment of bitcoin and propagate the movement to other countries.
Even though Bukele adopt the use of bitcoin in the country, he didn't remove the El Salvador currency for bitcoin but he uses the two alongside.
Their official currency is still USD, bitcoin is only considered a reserved currency. But if they want to buy or sell using bitcoin as a currency, the state is allowing it as well. It’s just that Bukele is a silent investor in bitcoin and he uses his power to introduce bitcoin to his country and later on adopted it. Although bitcoin never receive appreciation in the start, but I think seeing how rapid the price growth of bitcoin, people have learned to love bitcoin not just as a currency but a profitable tool for investment as well. |

As much as I agree with the op, I would say that it's not absolutely necessary to allow fear be the source or reason to learn, why? Because a time will come when you must have learnt something and become confident, does that mean that learning has stopped? Of course not, for we all know that learning should never stop, anybody that want to go far must never stop learning, no matter how much they think they know, there will always be something new to learn every day and every time.
So, based on the above, fear should not be the driver that drives a person to want to learn, the desire to learn and keep learning should be driven by the desire to want to have knowledge, and get better and better at that knowledge, just like someone who wants to learn how to trade, the desire to want to make money is what drives him to learn to trade, and the desire to get better and better at trading, so as to make more and more money, is what drives him to want to keep learning and learning - people should not allow fear be the reason behind their desire for knowledge, most especially in this space.
I couldn’t agree more. Fear is a negative emotion and anything that is driven by negativity will result into a negative outcome. Do the reverse instead. If you want to learn, do it because you love investing and trading with bitcoin and because you’ve seen how others benefit from bitcoin. Learning bitcoin is not only for our personal goal, but we can also help its promotion if we are knowledgeable enough to spread topic about bitcoin. |

In trading your success is only possible if you are expert in trading but if you have no experience then you are just gambling nothing else. I think if you have little experience then you can initiate investment but in case of trading your little experience will not work as even expert traders sometimes loss when the situations are not good. If you are trading for just a day in whole week or month then it will not be risky but if you are regularly trading without realizing the fact then it will become difficult for you to earn money and instead of earning you will loss huge sum in short time.
Trading is never easy most particularly for those who have only greed but zero knowledge and skills. This is not like gambling that once you risk a bigger amount, a bigger amount of profits will be possible to win. In trading, regardless of your trading capital, if you don’t have what it takes to be a successful trader, you will never make an edge over the market. I suggest study first the trading market and learn even the basics in trading. Know your risk tolerance when it comes to trading on an uncertain market. And build your knowledge and skills, and put extra miles of efforts when it comes to your experience. Through all of these, you will gradually become a good and reliable trader in the process. |

1-1 that day. Suns was a winner early on but then Rockets made a strong come back and Suns failed to cover the spread.
Moving on,
1- Dallas +10..as per report, Luka is questionable, but Dallas with Irving is still a good team. I think +10 is too much to be given for the playoff team like Dallas. Maybe due to the win streak of the Celtics that's why they are overvalued. Loss
2-Warriors -3 ...No stopping for the Warriors, they need this consistent win so they'll get back to the playoff spot. win
3-Clippers -15... A must win for them and I think they'll dominate here. win

60k possible before end of this month? Quite possible I would say. New question: 75k before end of March? The price of Bitcoin had already reached it before we ended the month of February, it was such an impressive movement of Bitcoin. We are looking forward to keeping the momentum this March but can't assure it will be fast and easy, or it will move in sideways. $75k is not impossible but I think it was not the time for a new ATH. Well, the situation is very interesting after surpassing $60k, we are even more grateful and optimistic but as I've said, we can't be fully confident that it will go straight high, we still expect some corrections and price drop. We better make it prepare and avoid FOMO. $75k may seem easy to achieve for bitcoin within this month but that will only happen if the market allows bitcoin to create a consistent price increase. Note that this market might suddenly shift from one position to another most especially if there are negative factors that affect the market, so if that happens, we will witness a sudden price decline instead. And reaching $75k might be hard for bitcoin to reach that certain level. Bitcoin is so much volatile that it cannot guarantee a consistent price surging. However, bitcoin price will eventually recover from any price correction in the market, so we should not be worrying about this. |

~snip~
And one of the things I liked that you did OP is that you didn't lose faith in bitcoin, and that's exactly what others should do who won't just get carried away by FOMO or whatever, because even if the value of bitcoin falls completely, there is definitely no other way to return to it than to go up again. Just be patient in waiting.
Trust in Bitcoin is an absolute must in order to benefit from holding bitcoin. Not affected by FOMO and not affected by FUD. Like now with the Bitcoin price almost touching the last ATH price and this is quite strong FOMO, but in the end it will experience a correction. Just hold on and wait and don't panic, that's the best thing. forcing to buy at peak prices because FOMO will not be good. One cannot hold longer bitcoin investment if trust and patience are not established. Otherwise, you will always see yourself falling into FUDs and FOMO which will definitely push you into losses because of wrong decision making. Most especially with the current bullish price, it’s easy to fall into FOMO and believe after that bitcoin price will continuous increase in the market when in reality it’s certainly not because of its high volatility. However, I also think falling into FOMO this time is not that bad as long as you have the intention to hold your bitcoin longer, but when it comes to short term hodling, that’s when FOMOing gets bad. |

People eventually sell if they are seeing potential profits. That is already known even for long term hodlers. However, if you are really thinking for long term, that bitcoin will be much more expensive in the coming months and years and buying a portion of it may not be allowed anymore as it might be sold as a whole, then you might regret your decision why you decide to sell earlier even if you know in yourself you’re not in a bad shape.
This is a realization for us that bitcoin is a very valuable investment. Instead of selling them and left with few bitcoins in portfolio, we should pay more attention on accumulating more of them and then hold for long. We are not talking here anymore on profiting from bitcoin in just short term but it’s on preparing our retirement soon so that we will enjoy massive profits when we decide to sell after years of hodling.

How about the Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets, a preview of the last NBA Finals, and once again, the Nuggets have proven that they are the better team.
Same result, they are still owned by the Nuggets, at least on that game. Though we can give this to the Nuggets, as the Heat are on a long road trip and they might be a bit tired going into this game, but 5 out of 6 games on the road is already quite impressive. The good news is, they are now at number 8 and will surely continue to rise. This team is probably going to make a surprise again in the playoffs. I like this healthy squad this season and their potential to upset the top-seeded teams.
Big success already for the Heat. I thought they were gonna struggle when they faced a losing streak when Jimmy returned, but it seems like they already figure out how to win with the current health squad they have. I'm optimistic about this team that they'll be a problem in the East, once again. Playoffs are coming, it's time for the playoffs team to get more serious. |

Updated record 21-22 (49%)
Back to betting.
1-GSW -4... This team needs to improve their ranking, and vs the Knicks which has been struggling against a playoff teams, the road team should win here. I expect Thompson to contribute at least 20 points, that would be huge for the team. (WIN)
2-Suns -8.5.. Rockets are not the same team anymore when they started. If they can't win in OKC they cannot also win in Phoenix, this is another 10+ victor for the Suns. (LOSS)
Updated record 22-23 (49%)1-1 that day. Suns was a winner early on but then Rockets made a strong come back and Suns failed to cover the spread. Moving on, 1- Dallas +10..as per report, Luka is questionable, but Dallas with Irving is still a good team. I think +10 is too much to be given for the playoff team like Dallas. Maybe due to the win streak of the Celtics that's why they are overvalued. 2-Warriors -3 ...No stopping for the Warriors, they need this consistent win so they'll get back to the playoff spot. 3-Clippers -15... A must win for them and I think they'll dominate here. |

There are different ways to contribute to the forum. You can contribute to the forum by posting good/high quality posts, reporting spam posts, scam posts or other posts that may cause trouble or problem for other forum members like resulting in losing money and report those who plagiarized topics. I think your problem is how to get merited here in the forum since you wanted to contribute and when a forum contributed to the forum are usually getting merited because of what they have done that is really helpful.
I suggest just focus on learning how to make high quality posts because if you are hunting for merits, you will easily gain that if your posts become meaningful to other members. But learning takes time and there might come a time that you will get bored learning in the forum. However, if you know your goal why you enter this forum, you will eventually realize that getting boredom and laziness in the forum have no rooms for progress most especially that you are still in the learning process. Learn to take one step at a time. And always start learning from the basics, you will know its essence when you are starting to commit mistakes later on. |

^^David Benavidez has move on from chasing Canelo at least for this May or this year. He decided to move up in Light Heavyweight and I think it's a good decision. He is tall and even at 175 lbs, I think he will still be as fast and a more heavier fighter.
And obviously, if he wins this fight, he will be facing the winner of the Beterbiev vs Bivol fight.
So after that unification fight, either one of them will have to face the Mexican Monster next. And Benavidez can go back to 168 lbs if he wants to so he is still open for a Canelo fight, but the decision is beyond his control. WBC PBC can't force Canelo right now to fight him. Obviously, he is out of PBC by now and be fighting a lesser opponent next in Berlanga.
Benavidez will have a better legacy if he beats the winner of Bivol and Beterbiev. Canelo, although not yet at retirement age, seems like he is looking for a safer fight, probably doesn't want to experience his loss against Bivol anymore. That's why boxers like him can't be considered as great like Manny, who despite his age, still chooses the best and is not afraid to fight. Well, good luck to Benavidez in case he faces the winner of the Bivol vs Beterbiev fight. I'm sure it would be the toughest fight of his career, especially if he's up against Beterbiev. |

updated record Updated record 20-20 (50%) back to 50%, small improvement but getting better  Clippers not so good in that game, I thought they were complete but turns out PG was missing. But regardless, I think they can beat the kings at home but they are not ready for it, still a profitable day though, so let's move forward. 1- Miami Heat +7.5 - win They have perfected their last 3 road games, so I'm wondering why they are this underdog, but regardless I'm still riding the trend though, if they will lose at least they'll cover, even without Jimmy I believe. 2-Knicks -11 - loss Playing at home with an impressive record, I think they can handle the Pistons. Lost last game to the Celtics, they'll bounce back this game. 3-Pacers -6.5 loss 2 consecutive wins at home with a huge margin, they should win here and cover even they are on a back to back game. Back to betting. 1-GSW -4... This team needs to improve their ranking, and vs the Knicks which has been struggling against a playoff teams, the road team should win here. I expect Thompson to contribute at least 20 points, that would be huge for the team. 2-Suns -8.5.. Rockets are not the same team anymore when they started. If they can't win in OKC they cannot also win in Phoenix, this is another 10+ victor for the Suns. |
