^Thank you stadus. Same pick for me with Golden State Warriors -5.5. Utah Jazz is in bad shape for now without the Spider and they even lost against the Rockets a couple of games ago. And to add to that problem are Gobert and Bogdanovic as questionable for the game.


We lost, Warriors won but the spread was not covered. If it was only a high scoring game then there's  a chance the spread will be covered. But it's fine, we can bounce back later, though there are only 4 games available but I can choose the best one to cap. With that said, I'm with the Utah Jazz +9.5 and ML.

I like the Jazz here after seeing what them play yesterday, they are still a good shooting team even with Donovan Mitchell's absence, It's going to be a different game against the Phoenix Suns for sure but I believe the spread is just about right enough for them to easily cover.
They were able to compete with the Warriors and cover the handicap, with this higher handicap, it's so tempting and therefore putting some bet on ML is automatic for me.

I really don't like any other fixture from today, but I'll be taking the Over 202.5 in the Cavaliers vs New York Knicks, and hopefully it's not just a trap.
Good luck, you got the OT as your chance to win the total in case it will be a low scoring game as I think it will also be a close game.

The Lakers' next three games will be against the Nets, 76ers, and then Hornets. This might sink them to the 9th spot of the West if they won't win at least 1 of them. 7th spot will be their safe zone and even with the play-in tournament they only need 1 win to advance to the playoffs. How I wish they will be a fresh Lakers team after the All-Star break.
With Portland Trail Blazers trying to squeeze every win they could get (2 win streak) the Lakers might even find themselves being in the 10th seed if nothing good will be done.
We can't expect too much from Lakers for the Nets game but if they are claiming to be a championship team, for the 76ers and Hornets games they should show some strength. Against the Nets, I am not so sure they can beat a strong Nets team. Especially without Anthony Davis. It seems like he was one of the key players, if not the most important player including the old Lebron we see now. If he returns healthy and if he will be his full capacity, things can change for the good. Every Lakers fan and everyone who will bet on Lakers these days must look at if AD has come back or if he is, how good he is.
AD might start playing soon, with him in the lineup, things are expected to improve.

Well, the Lakers definitely need to start winning now, they are in danger of losing a playoff stop and they are now below 0.500.
The only thing I hope is when Davis comes back, hopefully, he won't be injured again as they need to climb the ladder of competition to gain a home-court advantage once the playoffs will start.
2523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 24, 2022, 12:50:38 PM
The vote says it All with 19 Magsayo and only 6 for russel?

but also i believe that if Russel has no Injury? then Mark Magsayo will be having more difficult chance of winning.
It will be a difficult fight if Russell is not injured. Russell is still very quick and fast even with his just left hand in the fight. Hopefully, we can see a rematch so really see what will be the outcome of the fight.
Indeed, although I bet on Magsayo I gotta admit to myself that it's what I saw. it's just so unfortunate for Rusell, he wasn't able to fight well to defend his title, but I'm sure he'll get a rematch as Magsayo has to prove to the fans that he can win even against a healthy Rusell.


But at least another Filipino Boxer climb up ring and now having a Belt of his career , congrats and more wins to come .
Yes, and we will have to wait for Casimero vs Butler. Another Filipino who has the belt right now, and if Casimero won then it will be a double celebration for Filipino boxing fans across the globe.
It's a good match as well, however, we don't know yet when it's gonna happen.
2524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 24, 2022, 12:17:30 PM
Miami Heat - LA Lakers game was really delightful and Heat won the game just as I expected. It was a 113-107 victory and Heat totally deserved it by a great team play. Lebron was Lakers' best as always. He got 33 pts, 11 reb. This time, Westbrook also played well and he got 24 pts, 9 reb, 9 ast. He was really close to making a triple-double. But Lakers still lost the game as the rest of the players couldn't contribute too much. Heat have captured the lead in the conference again by this win and I really wonder what they will do in the playoffs.

It was an entertaining match I have to say. Even though the Lakers played really well in the last quarter, but it was not enough for them to get the win.
Heat got the early lead in the first quarter as they were 39-25. Butler is back and he scored 20 points with 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Duncan Robinson gave him good support by scoring 25 points. Lebron is as always the goat for the Lakers, he scored 33 points, and to my surprise, WB also played a good game but you know, it wasn't enough to beat the Heat.

When you have Westbrook and LeBron having great games and it's still not enough to overcome an opponent, you know that something is wrong with the supporting cast.

Please don't blame Vogel, Lebron, or Westbrook for this. It's essentially a disaster in the making given that they are such a badly constructed team.

The lack of continuity between seasons is certainly a contributing factor towards their demise as well.

There has someone to be blamed, when the team is not working well then most likely the problem is the coach because he has the authority to make a command for the success of the team. LA Lakers is a team, although they have Lebron and Westbrook, they need to work as a team in order for them to become a championship team.

Of course, I think its very good opportunity for those people who want,s to invest in Crypto currency.if the people who think bitcoin will be zero they will know very soon because very soon we will se very good pump in all crypto currency ,and people who are old in Crypto currency field they know very well ,and they aren't worry at this time, because they know the bitcoin will show the pump very soon.
Investing in crypto and more particularly with bitcoin won't create immediate profits if that's what you expect. It will still take a long term hodling and may even tests your faith and patience before you will succeed and make profits with bitcoin. And once that you're convinced not because your peers are doing so you don't want to be out of the trend, so make the best move now and invest in bitcoin. But of course, even if a lot would say that bitcoin will return us with huge amount of profits, its always important to still invest with the amount we can afford to lose so we won't be selling immediately our coins once the market suddenly turn sideways.
2527  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Dip on: January 23, 2022, 09:40:26 PM
March is about 2 months from now and I want to say it is not a realistic speculation that bitcoin will get to that $100,000. It is very close time for that, bitcoin has not stabilize yet, still facing bear and looking to go down more to $35k if it breaks $40k. This is the overview of the price and today being friday is not really looking fine for a bull. The price is still dropping  and trying to stabilize below $40k.
I think we will see a big spike up this year but probably near summer. With global situation being that we are probably going to a recession in next couple years there is the time where we can see really bearish market.

Nothing is certain about bitcoin though. It price dropping lately is not unexpected but with regards to global situation I don't see that being a phenomenon that will affect bitcoin. We remember that covid-19 is a global situation and killing people globally but it didn't affect the price of bitcoin, bitcoin instead made a remarkable improvement up and got different highs. I don't think even wars will affect the direction of bitcoin if it already on the trend.
We all know that bitcoin can be too unpredictable too. It may sometimes very affected with a positive or negative news, but sometimes it seems not even affected though and even made a price surge that leads to its new heights. So we can't certainly predict what will be the next move of bitcoin as its just moves differently leaving us unaware.

However, with the market having a bearish season, i'm not convinced that the market will eventually recover again which will make bitcoin reaches its new heights. This whole market is still driven with dips and this may lasts longer until we witness significant news that will bring big changes in the market.
2528  Economy / Speculation / Re: are we going to have "fear" months? on: January 23, 2022, 09:22:20 PM
Why stop at months, I think we can speculate this whole year might be a fear year.  I'd call it consolidation, natural process and revision and its not as bad as it appears but people get to fear readily so yep good call by OP.     
  I'm not a great fan of hype either, if somehow I could trade both engage and sell I would be alot richer doing so.    It often OTT overdone silly fear imo, BTC behind the scenes matters more.
It's better to speculate based on year than months because we can see a bigger picture using a year as our basis. Well, the market maybe bearish now but that would never end the crypto market, like in the past, this is the trend that we are seeing again, and if we didn't make the right decision in the past, this is the time to correct that and it should start from buying the dip so we can stock some crypto assets for the coming bull market.
You're right. We often missed opportunities something like this so now is the perfect time to to fill our bags again with our potential coins and we should start buying from the dip. It will be even a lot better if we can buy in every dip so that if we can see that the bearish trend continues, then we can maximize buying from these cheap prices. I guess there's no room for fear in crypto this time as people should be more greedy than be fearful when faced with opportunities like this. 
2529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It won't hurt on: January 23, 2022, 02:44:25 PM
It won't hurt to have 100,000 shiba inu coin in your wallet you know, I'm saying this because I used to have 1,000,000 doge coin in my wallet but got tired of holding it and sold, we both know how much that it today so we can't say if shiba can make its way to where doge coin is right now, it won't hurt to have some in holding
It is not going to hurt if you keep holding your shiba inu, anything is possible within the crypto space. Tomorrow it is possible that shiba inu ATH can go over that of doge, but also keep in mind that it can also not go well. But, patients is what you need because you may invest with shiba inu the only amount which is affordable to you on the event of shiba inu gets dumped and delisted from exchanges, so you need to be patience until something happens with shiba inu.

I agree about investing the amount which will not hurt you on losing it but the question is why shiba inu and not any other coin. Because, like shiba inu, we are having at least 100s of similar coins with potential to rise in future. Now, if I invest my small amount into all 100 coins then that will definitely hurt me if I happen to lose 50% of them.
Right. You won't be hurting yourself and won't make a loss if you never sell your Shiba Inu. But the question is how long will you be able to hold them? If the value won't eventually recover again, i think that will hurt you the most because there is no chance to make profits from them. If you are investing in those high risk coins, think of its consequences, and not just the luck that it will bring once it reaches an all time high. So to be more assured that you won't be losing in the end, invest in bitcoin and other established coins as they won't just depend on hype or let's say luck.

Trading is gambling. There’s no doubt about it.


You can already see he's biased and full of regret. Trading is not gambling, but it's not for idiots either. You can be a trader who trades with 10% of his money, waits for a big positive signal to buy and a trully negative signal to sell. Like when you buy after the price breaks the old ATH and don't trade with leverage, that's pretty smart. Holding long term and exiting with some money every time the price goes 2x is also smart. Going in with all your money on a trade with 20x leverage is the fastest way to a homeless shelter or a rehab and this guy is a living proof.
From the case here, it's not just about trading that ruined him, but alcohol and drugs that made him like that.
As for trading, I think he's just looking for excuses about the effects of alcohol and drugs that make him addicted.
technically things like this actually have no correlation but indeed I really agree with what you said even though it is indeed very far-fetched but trading is not for stupid people Grin
This is the reason why everyone can do trading but trading itself is not meant for everyone. And being stupid as you've said will never succeed in trading. But in the case of Steven, its not surprising really because he is addicted into drugs and alcohol so we cannot expect that he can do more good in trading, even if he's good enough in the past. And to think that he doesn't have any access on his wallet address, well he must be some kind of a trader who don't have any focus that's why he lost everything in crypto.
2531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 23, 2022, 01:12:07 PM
Congrats to the winners, I see that most of the posters here were betting on Magsayo, you enjoy the day.  Smiley

That was so lucky for Magsayo, Rusell got injured so he took advantage of it.
If Rusell wasn't injured, I think Magsayo might lose in this fight because the scorecards result were very close, one judge even score a draw.

The judge that scores the draw is questionable given the compu box results but this is boxing a lot of controversies when it comes to going to the judges' score, Magsayo is being very careful because he knows he is fighting a strong fighter with a very good experience but like all the opinions here he is indeed lucky, Gary Russell can call a rematch if there is a clause in their contract, the argument is he is not 100% although it's not Magsayo's fault.

As always, they would favor the champion but not enough cheating for this fight. Scoring a draw is insane, they see that the champion is only fighting with one hand and there's no way he could win as Magsayo is also fast and fierce in the fight, maybe next time the favor would go to Magsayo as he is the current champion.

I think it will be blatant cheating if the judges score the fight for Russell as it is very clearly that Magsayo did enough to push the fight and hit Russell cleanly specially in the later rounds.

If for reasons, the judges score it for Russell, for sure there will be a lot of uproar and those judges are going to be in the hot seat for that decision. So they can't allow that except maybe for that one judge who have it a draw. So the reign of Russell has come to an end. Bring Leo Sta Cruz next for Magsayo, sure as hell that will be a entertaining fight.

I'm sure Magsayo has learned from that fight although he gets the championship. He was too emotional during the post-fight interview, he said it's been his dream since he was still a kid to become a world champion, now that dream was already achieved, what's next for him?
2532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 23, 2022, 12:30:57 PM
My early pick.

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors.

I'm leaning on the warriors here, though they have some struggle in their last game I think their home record is good enough for me to be convinced to back the Warriors.

Michell is out, so it will be a fair match as the Warriors have no Green.

2533  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low, Sell high? on: January 22, 2022, 11:44:20 PM
For me buying low and sell high is important and it is the most popular strategic way of earning in crypto, but the most important is the project itself and the posible outcome of the particular project if there is a chance to be successful or not price really matter but the most important is the project, we need to select good project for good.
You are right. We can expect that since the market is in dips right now, all coins are probably have lower prices. And when there is dips, there is good opportunity to buy those cheap coins in the market. But we don't have to buy all those coins which are in bargain, since not all of them have potentials to grow. This is the reason why we still need to be careful on buying this time as not all coins are safe to buy, some are definitely shitcoins that will only waste our money and time hodling them and end up losing money from them.
2534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2022: Bullish or bearish for crypto? on: January 22, 2022, 11:24:29 PM
With current market conditions, it's better to be patient and don't be in a hurry to make investment decisions,
I think for now follow the development first and hope the market can recover soon
Investing in good coins can still be done by anyone now and there is no need to wait long for it even though the market is not in a good condition during January this year, but if it can be better next month, then buy now Of course it will be very profitable.
I agree. The opportunity is already in front of us because we have seen that all coins are definitely in dips. And the fact that dips is happening, then its a good time to buy and hold. For now, i can say that the market is totally bearish but i guess it won't be the same in the next couple of months. Bullish season might also appear at the last quarter of the year so this year might be a season for both. So there' no need to fear even if the dips is getting deeper because it won't be forever like that.
2535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you buying during this dip? on: January 22, 2022, 07:53:20 PM
Preferably I would buy those coins that were already pumped and I was feeling left out of the cycle. Not every coin is dumped in the same proportion, Some are dumped more than the others and I would like to capitalise on this and buy coins like SHIBA to add to my portfolio that I have been looking to do from a very long time but wasn't able to find a good entry price, this dump might have just completely changed my situation.
If you think Shiba Inu will regain its value in the future, then you can put a good amount in it. But if i may suggest, this year might be different already when it comes to meme coins and what we have seen that are profitable before will never be the same again. And besides, investing in meme coins will always bring high risk. You better get focus on established coins as they have never been out of the trend, and prioritize investing in bitcoin and top altcoins. Although you can still invest in meme coins but only with a minimal amount.
2536  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $30k the bottom for this dip? on: January 22, 2022, 07:06:07 PM
The entire cryptocurrency market is on a blood bath level most cryptocurrency witness a higher percentage of price drop which have turned so many analysts to speculate the next stop price before the bull run, if you have been flowing up with recent price actions it show Bitcoin losing almost 7% of it price falling back to 38k and have been struggling to maintain that price level up till now.
Will the 30k price benchmark be the next bottom line before the rise?
after Bitcoin price managed to drop past $40k, I'm not sure Bitcoin will get past $30k...

Market dips do happen every year, but I see the $30k bitcoin price is no longer possible. Besides that, I also see that those who focus on campaigning to buy bitcoin on social media will work even harder, the market will definitely recover, and we can all sleep well again Cheesy
For me, there are still chances that bitcoin will definitely fall more and may end up below $30k. Because once we see bitcoin making a consistent fall, it becomes even more unpredictable so its hard to predict its bottom value from the current dip. But let's not be pessimistic because of the current events, bitcoin and altcoins may be experiencing a drastic fall but as long as there is high demand for them, they won't end up zero value. They will still recover from this latest dump and once positive news will fill in the market, i think they will start rising up again and continue to skyrocket.
2537  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Good moment to buy btc or eth? on: January 22, 2022, 01:52:19 PM
I agree with you now is the right time to buy bitcoin or big alcoins like eth and binance, but I'm waiting for the price to go down I'm sure the lowest price is not today, definitely tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is the right time to buy bitcoin.
Looks like the dump is not over yet.

Bitcoin now is at $35k, and as bitcoin continues to struggle, we will see the cheap altcoins flashing with some heavy losses daily. It's not good for those weak hands but good for those who accumulate. From the current price, I think $20k + is just waiting and big altcoins dump cannot be prevented from happening.
2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 22, 2022, 01:28:36 PM

How about the Lakers, did anyone bet on them last night?

I didn't touch that game, I knew that the Lakers are too unpredictable and they won here after two consecutive losses I believe. Next game I'll be taking the Lakers, it's nice to back them after a win as sometimes they'll get some little win streak.
2539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The faith of Altcoins in 2022 on: January 21, 2022, 11:38:04 PM
the crypto market at the beginning of 2022 was down maybe because many people flocked to Nft and Metaverse so that the volume in crypto decreased but I think this is only because nft and metaverse are trending everywhere so many people want to get into in it,
Until now I still believe the altcoin market will rise again.
Of course, it will always have its own altcoin season. Although we have not met altcoins expectations last year, but i'm still positive that this year might be possible for it to achieve. Maybe last year was only intended for bitcoin, and this year hopefully for altcoins. But we won't be profitable when that time comes if we won't be able to invest at the current prices. Bitcoin and altcoins are definitely in a good buying value right now so we have to start buying while there is dip. And because buying low and selling high still works for most of us, i think this is the perfect time to start it and sell them when bull run comes.
2540  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Good moment to buy btc or eth? on: January 21, 2022, 11:12:20 PM
Hi crew. Hope you are all well in new 2022. Good moment to buy btc or eth?
^ Definitely right it is now a moment to invest in crypto, everything was dropped in the market price and I think this is the right time.
But let me ask you, how much that you are willing to invest? Because we don't know when until this drop going on if you invested that you can afford of course you can wait for even the price drop further more. Right at this moment based on the coin market cap, BTC dropped 12% and ETH dropped 17% which is perfect timing to purchase again.
Indeed, this time is perfect to accumulate more potential coins. But if you have limited budget, yes its a good suggestion to wait for further price drops as we are quite sure that this bearish market won't easily recover. However, if you have that huge amount of funds, then try to buy in every dip. After  all, any coin that is lower when you bought and will sell at its peak, there are still good profits waiting ahead.  But i suggest, reserve for a higher allocation for bitcoin and maybe half of it goes for ethereum too as it never loses its demand despite of its high gas fee.
