An 8-point lead going to halftime by the Cavaliers.

As I look at the stat sheet, I was surprised with 2 things. One is it seems like this night is Jarrett Allen's night as he scored 22 points in the first half and their main scorer Mitchell scored 14 points only. The second one is, after that monstrous 55 points against the Wizards, Davis only scored only 1 point in the first half. Take note, 1 point and their highest scorer is Lebron, and some bench player named Thomas Bryant with 11 points each. Well, he is probable coming into the game, and he only played 8 minutes in the first half so that might be the reason. I'll go with Cavaliers on this one.

First of all, let's define what is gambling and base on a quick google search, this is what gambling means:
In the scenario that you shared, it is a form of betting therefore, it is considered as gambling. The term "uncertain outcome" can be applied in the FPS game that you shared because you don't know if you will win or not. Winning of something else of value is the $50.

Overall, pay to earn is considered gambling since you are paying a specific value so that you will earn more money but the chances of you winning is uncertain. Now with regards to the websites or casino who are allowing such games, I don't know if there are sites who are offering those kinds of games or at least similar to that.

Paanong hindi magiging seryoso kakalabas lang ng bago nilang laro na Honor of Heirs at may paparating pang bagong laro na Mir M na sequel daw ng Mir4.
Seryoso ang mga yan dahil malaking epekto sa kanilang business ung ginawa ng DAXA (ung apat na exchanges sa SoKor). Anyway, try nyo ung Mir M nasa CBT sila sa ngayon at kapag nakapagpre-register ka, pwede mo nang idownload yung client bukas.

Sa kabilang banda, magandang move din ng WEMADE na nagpatulong sila sa Binance at hindi ko alam pero baka may chansa na mailist ang WEMIX sa Binance kapag successful ang usapan.

Para sa akin lang, mejo risky pa bumili ng WEMIX ngayon lalo na 50/50 pa ang pwedeng mangyari sa kanila. Kapag nag-fail sila sa injunction at itinuloy ung delisting, maaaring bumalik ung presyo ng WEMIX sa 20-ish pesos pero kapag hindi natuloy ung delisting, balik $1 pataas panigurado.

I voted Yes to this one.

I believe that the FTX drama is over, and the contagion is not affecting other companies that much anymore compared to where it was when FTX scam is at its peak. Gemini stopped their earn program, not that much effect on the market. BlockFi filed for Chapter 11, not that much effect on the market. In the future, there might be some companies who will get affected by the FTX scam but it's effect to the market is only little to none. I believe that we've seen the bottom already and I think we will go sideways this month with $20,000 as its resistance but if there will be another FTX-like even that will happen then I hope we're ready for it.

Overall, we can't change the fact that bear market = opportunities for intelligent investors to buy some Bitcoins. Bitcoins are cheap right now so now is the perfect time to accumulate slowly while waiting for the bear market to be over.

You are trying to spread information or asking here some ways to attract ordinary people towards investing into Bitcoin while you yourself, isn't holding any Bitcoin yet? What an irony TBH.

This is the hard part (for me) when it comes to Bitcoin adoption. Telling Bitcoin and sharing it to ordinary people at least the basics of it. Some of them aren't interest on it. Some might be interested, but they don't have any money to invest into it. Some aren't just that techy enough to use smartphones or any devices where you can have access into Bitcoins. There are some problems obviously that's why only a few percent of the total people worldwide are using it.

Sometimes, you also need to observe your environment. See if they are talking about investments or if you heard something from them that is related to investing. If you don't then most probably, they aren't into it or they aren't interested into it. It's the reason why I'm not sharing anything related to investment here in my place. I only hear gossips from them instead of anything related to investments. Sometimes the best way is to not do it at all.

It will be over in one game, that's for sure.

That is how confident I am with the Bay Area Dragons. I mean just look at how they dominated every single game. Well, they lost against Meralco but with only a single digit lead and to Ginebra which they lost by a huge margin.  Let's take note that the Bay Area Dragons didn't lose a single game with Powell as their import. Their 2 losses are when their import is Nicholson. I'm confident with the Dragons surpassing the first round, but still the ball is round, and we don't know what can happen.

They might be tested on the second round where they will face the winner of Converge-SMB. Both are strong teams and SMB doesn't have JMF on some of their games that's why they ended up on the 5th. Converge on the other hand played really well this conference as well so they might be tested on the second round. I would love to see the Dragons reaching the PBA Finals against Ginebra and this is my prediction as well. Bay Area Vs. Ginebra in the PBA Finals.

From 2-8 to now 8-2. I'm sure Coach Ham is very happy with the improvement of his team.

Aside from that, he's happy that he's successful in transitioning Davis from a Power Forward to an efficient Center and now is dominating the league in these past games. Davis performance tonight is the first Laker to do a 50-point 15-rebound and 70% FG since Wilt in the 60's. I thought that he will stop and will be less efficient after those 3 30-point games, but it seems that I'm wrong and he is still doing it. I watched the highlights and his poster against Porzingis and Gafford is just out of this world.

Now with regards to them winning the NBA Finals, they must climb the ladder first. Yes, they are 8-2 on their last 10 games but still they are now at the 12th spot, and nothing has changed. The good thing though is that the Lakers are only 2 games behind the 6th seeded Warriors, so every win is very important for the teams in the West because their standings are really close. Just look at the Jazz where they got the top spot but after losing consecutive games, they are now on the 9th seed.

Well, you have a 2nd home that you can stay with aside from the one that you want to sell. I guess there is no problem doing that thing. Selling a house that depreciates its value and a liability as well (unless it is used for renting purposes) and buying an asset like Bitcoin is a nice move...I guess.

Just know the risks of it. We are still in a bear market so expect the unexpected. Always expect that there is a chance that Bitcoin might go down even lower from its current price. Some are saying that what happened in 2022 will continue in 2023. Take note as well that this will take time for you to take profit and there is a chance that what you're thinking might not happen as well. A risky move but the rewards are high when the bull run comes. You got a second home so I guess it will not hurt you that much if you will sell your first house as long as you're comfortable with your 2nd home and it got it all that will help you to live.

I remembered again the non-contact call of Brian Heruela against Paul Lee during the bubble, but the referees called a foul on it.

Well, they are just people even though they are professional referees. Referees in the NBA are doing many mistakes as well like not calling travels etc. The management has imposed a suspension on the said referee. I just hope that things like this will never happen especially on a professional league like the PBA. It's a non-bearing game for both of the teams anyway, but still, they must do what they must do, and it is to do correct calls.

Whenever I'm betting, this is the first thing that I always see. Injury reports because it's a big factor to the chances of a team to win. Home-Road record is also the one that I'm using, but both of them aren't a crystal ball that will tell you who will win based on the 2 factors. It's just my basis and it increases my chances of winning.

The Jazz are starting to regain their momentum now after they lost 5 straight and now on a 2-game winning streak. As for the Blazers, they are undermanned, but they are also on a 3-game losing streak and it might continue against the Jazz.

Winning 7 of their last 10 games, the Lakers are in now looking good after a rough start though they are still 3 games below 500, but just looking on how they played in their last games, it seems that they are gaining a bit of a momentum as well.

Seeing Davis putting numbers like these is always good. The Big 3 of the Lakers are doing pretty well on their last games. Davis starting to put big numbers, Lebron also doing what he does best as well, scoring and passing as well and Wesbrook is starting to embrace his role as a 6th man but on the same time, he is very efficient though we might see him having bad nights, but it's normal for a player to have bad nights. Overall, the Lakers are starting to gain momentum. They are currently at the 12th spot but only 2 games behind the 8th seeded Warriors.

Where can I buy crystal ball? A crystal ball where it can show an accurate scenario of what will happen into the crypto market? Can anybody sell it to me.

Bitcoin bottom prediction? Maybe the bottom that we saw when FTX did the biggest ponzi scheme in the whole crypto might be the bottom and we might see Bitcoin go up starting from now. Papa Powell decreased the increase of federal funds rate from 75 basis points to now 50 basis points and that might be a good sign. $12,000 is still possible knowing that we are still in a bear market but highly unlikely for me. DCA is still the best thing to do, and it's proven already that it can give you profit in the long term.

Well, this is what I'm saying back then that their performance in their first few games isn't sustainable, and things might change in a snap. Now it happened to the Jazz. After having a good start, they are now struggling, and a losing streak might just put you from the top spot all the way to the bottom 8.

There was a time in the Western Conference where the 10th seed are only 2 games behind the top spot. Now it's 4.5 games, but still, we are in the early stages of the season, and anything can happen still. I expect some trades that will happen maybe when the all-star comes near. Jazz is now on the 7th seed and a bit of adjustment might change their win-lose streak.

Rigged!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding

It's a no bearing game for both teams since SMB already secured the 5th spot and the Bolts is already eliminated. With regards to Romeo, like I said, I didn't expect too much from him since he just came back after an injury that caused him not to play for months. 5/14 is very poor indeed but scoring 12 points in his comeback is already a good one.

For the final match-up for the 8th spot, it will be the Rain or Shine Vs. the NLEX. Will we see an MVP team in the playoffs this conference or they all MVP teams will be totally eliminated. Nevertheless, whoever wins between the two, they can't beat Bay Area Dragons.

Successful for a moment, but it will be going down soon.
I still remember when Binance also launched Mobile Legend NFT's where they launched an NFT sale of Mobile Legend heroes. In just a few seconds, it was sold out because of how popular the game is and lucky for me, I got one. The problem is I can't sell it at a much higher price because nobody wants to buy it.

I'm not saying that it will also happen to CR7 NFT's, but if there isn't any use case to that NFT at all, it's value will be going down like what happened to Bored Ape or any other NFT's out there. Fame? Popularity? It doesn't matter because if there are nobody who wants to buy the NFT then it will be useless. On the other hand though, knowing that CR7 is very popular, there might be some fans of him that might buy the NFT's and keep them for good or they might re-sell it we don't know.

Maybe there is a chemistry built between Romeo and Gallent whenever they are practicing. I don't know as well what Coach Leo means with that phrase "destroy the momentum between the two". Well either way, they already got a spot in the playoffs so putting his deputy coach on the driver seat and giving him an opportunity is also good for the team.

With regards to Romeo playing against Meralco, they already secured the 5th spot and will face Meralco regardless of what happen, so I think putting Romeo to the court to play for a few minutes doesn't hurt the team as a whole. They will just let him play a few minutes in preparation for him during the playoffs. Fajardo and Romeo's situation are completely different. I don't know if SMB has the weapons to beat Converge TBH because they are a strong team as well, but let's see how they will play.

20% of the small businesses fail in the first year and in the 5th year, 50% of the businesses fail and in the 10th year, 65% of the businesses fail. LINK

I'm not into business and I know myself that I'm not succeeding into business, and I know that there are some people who already know which works for them and which aren't and for me, business isn't for me. If you really want to start your business, capital isn't enough, but know if you really are capable in building one because there are many factors that might affect your business. Location, competition, how you market/advertise your products, services etc.

As for me who isn't into business, being a freelancer and investing a portion of my monthly income into cryptocurrencies is better, but both of them have pros and cons. If you already build a successful business, you can just continue being a freelancer while doing your business if you can do both. Getting rich in being a freelancer and investing takes longer time than being into business.

Overall, it's up to you. You can try and build a business if you want to try but be sure that you are ready for the worst. You can still invest into cryptocurrencies while building for business so why not try both?

Like a Domino effect?
BNB might crash but Ethereum will not.

The whole crypto market is on a bear market and yes, anything might happen, but I don't think that Bitcoin and Ethereum will crash like what happened to FTX and Terra Luna because both of the projects are failed ones and the ones behind it are scammers and any projects that has scammers behind it will absolutely fail because they will scam investors.

$36K? You might be dreaming while posting this one isn't you OP? Your first post is a thread like this though I agree with you that December has always been good for crypto and right now, Bitcoin is at the $17,000 price. Overall, the sentiment of the investors is negative, and they are in an extreme fear right now to invest. You might be thinking of the "Christmas Effect", but with what's happening globally, I doubt that it will have a huge effect towards the price of Bitcoin. Maybe we might see Bitcoin at $20,000 at the highest.

Like other players who just came back after an injury, I expect nothing from him.

I'm not expecting him to score 20 points or more on his comeback. He will be given less minutes like what they did to Fajardo after his injury. Take note that Romeo didn't play for a very long time so let's not expect too much on his return. TBH, I'm leaning towards the negative one. He didn't play for quite some time, and it might affect the chemistry, but overall, it's good to see him coming back after the injury. Not expecting too much from him on his comeback and he might get 10 points at most.

He's a career 37.1% from 3PT line and in the current era where more people are shooting threes, that's a high percentage IMO.
Too bad that he doesn't been given enough minutes. He is only given 10.8 minutes per game on average and that's too low.

I thought that his buzzer beater three against the Pelicans will be his breakthrough and he will be given more minutes, but I guess I'm wrong. I just hope that another team will give him maybe a short-term contract just to try. He's a decent to good three-point shooter so teams who's focusing on threes more might get him... or not. For the Lakers, I just hope that they will get better player to replace him, or they will receive more criticisms aside from the ones that are facing right now.

Seeing at the picture, he seems like a 12-13 young kiddo that doesn't have any interest into investing at all. Well, it's my own opinion and I might be wrong, and he might be the opposite of what I saw and if that's the case then good for him and for you as his teacher.

There's nothing wrong in teaching other people Bitcoin, but at least we need to have considerations like the age of the person, his desire in learning it etc. The current education system really sucks TBH. Not in all countries of course but what makes it sucks is that they aren't teaching anything about money like what Robert Kiyosaki always says. I'm not saying that I will not put my future children at school because it's really needed, but I will teach him anything about money and I will teach him how to save and invest at an early age.
