^^ Brooklyn made a huge comeback now, KD and Irving bringing the game alive in the last 2 quarters and now they have taken the lead in the last 3 minutes of the 4th.

This is going to be close, but I think the Nets will win this game, and hopefully they can cover the initial spread of -6.5.

Yeah! They did cover the spread!

That was some great basketball by the Nets after the halftime break, both Kyrie and KD played for the entire second half, that shows how much effort they make and how great a force both of them can be, I'm really glad they were eventually able to cover.

Nice one for us, I also thought that we are going to lose with our -6.5. But in the 3rd quarter you can sense that something is going to happen as the Nets cut the lead and they continue to do it in the 4th. They really have to win this game with both Kyrie and Durant as their offensive power. Too bad for the Knicks, they really suck this year, no offense for the Knicks fans. My Celtics bet also won, so it's fruitful betting night for me.

Looking at today’s games, I like the Brooklyn Nets over the New York Knicks for the battle of the big Apple and the Celtics over the Bulls. The Bulls have struggled against good teams all year so I suspect tonight will be no different and the Nets are warming up headed into the postseason and with only a 4.5 spread I think they’ll be able to cover over the Knicks. The Mavericks over the Pistons might be another good one to add to a parlay, or maybe even the Suns over the Clippers if you’re feeling lucky. Both the Nets and Suns games will be on ESPN tonight.

Yeah, it seems that the Nets have the numbers over their rivals, I will go with the Nets -6.5.

For the Bulls, if Lavine is not going to play again against the Bulls, then this could be a blow out game for the Celtics. Boston has been very hot lately, so I like their chances even if this is a road game for them, -7.5 for me Boston. Best of luck.
2563  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN will rise on: April 06, 2022, 02:07:21 PM

The little rise now in bitcoin may be explained to be the consideration that some countries are trying to use bitcoin as legal. No doubt now the bear is going away and bull is waking up and maybe in next few weeks, the price can keep increasing. Many other countries are looking the way of bitcoin for the country and this helping the possibility of it adoption.
While most of us are asking for the Bull running , yet we cannot be certain that Bear really gone now because no matter how we look at this situation yet the increase will come when the demand and use increase as well but until now we are only in speculative position that at a chance the value of Bitcoin at least break 50k and then 60k once more as I am one of those who are seeking for this to happen and I know it may take years again but I am not losing hope this time.

Price is going down a bit in the last 2 days. Now we enter the $44k price, so we are in a situation wherein we are still in the middle ground as we don't know if we are in a bull run or if this is a fake breakout. Or perhaps the bears is still in the market and just waiting for the right time and then make a sell to put pressure on the market again. $50k is no longer viable because as I have mentioned the price is slowly losing it's strength.
2564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 06, 2022, 12:03:35 PM
The Suns emerged victorious from the Lakers game that LeBron James did not play. With 63 wins in 79 matches the Suns broke the organizational record. The Lakers on the other hand have suffered 48 losses in 79 games this season with poor performance. With this result the LA team did not have a chance to Play-in and said goodbye to the season.

The Lakers predicament is already a given fact, it's just a matter of time before it will be official that they will not make it to the playoffs this year.

For the Suns, it's going to be interesting how far they will go this season. They put up a season best in their franchise history and hopefully they can make it to the finals again and at least have CP3 his first ring in his storied career.
2565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does staking even make any sense on: April 06, 2022, 10:51:23 AM
How do people even enjoy staking their coins and tokens? I'm confused, yesterday I tried to stake some amount of stable coin aka USDT on Binance Exchange and it is worth 1000$ but the return on this in a year is 95$ lol, I laughed so hard that I almost flipped my laptop, why the heck people doing this?.

What do you mean? a year return for a $1000 is just $95? Anyhow, I think for others still worth it though, because you won't get that annual returns if you just kept it in a bank. So it make sense for the majority to ride on this new hype, the whole game of staking. And obviously, the more capital you stake the better is the reward in the long run.
2566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: April 06, 2022, 09:32:59 AM
Butler will be fighting in his hometown, so I doubt that he will run like Rigo because he needs to show his local fans some good action. And that will be a big problem for him, because we all know that Casimero can bang with the best and has knock out power. So it's going to be a suicide for him, but he doesn't have a choice but to really go and fight Casimero toe to toe in front of his fans.

There's no need to worry because Butler isn't Rigo and he's a former champion too so we will really see an entertaining fight and see some good action. Butler indeed doesn't have much of a choice but to fight good, sadly his days are already numbered and his people will see him getting embarrassed inside the ring with the chance of getting knockout and being bagged by Casimero.

I'm just watching some highlights of Casimero's fight and I forget the name but he also demolished one British fighter in the own home court. So this could be another of those fights that the fans will see their local boys being maltreated by John Riel. Casimero is already hitting his peak at this point so it's going to be very difficult to stop him. Not only with his punching power, but he has a good chin as well.
2567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The cost of bitcoin transfers on: April 06, 2022, 08:40:09 AM
The cost of bitcoin transfers has increased. Do you think this is trivial? Is it worth transferring money with bitcoin? Why transfer money with Bitcoin if the transfer cost is high?
like i have 100$ in one of my old wallet but i cant transfer it because of transfer fee is more than my asset !


Depends on what wallet you are using, you should have told us. Electrum for example, will give you the options to adjust as how much fees you want to used. Maybe the wallet you are using as from some exchange that you don't have control of the private keys and the fees obviously.

Lol, you should have been here during 2017's run wherein it will take days if not weeks to be able to transfer bitcoin because of the high fees. That is one of the worst, but today you can even transfer in less than a dollar.
2568  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top NFT Marketplaces making Competing OpenSea on: April 05, 2022, 01:25:46 PM
It's pretty obvious that with the boom of the NFT's, it's just a matter of time before someone thinks of something that will compete against opensea because they have been dominating the marketplace. And here we are now right now, as they have been popping like mushroom because they want to get a piece of the pie. Nevertheless, people should be wary of them, and we all should look at the people behind the new platforms. And I think one thing that will really sway others to try other platform is the fees. If there could be some alternative than can offer better pricing, maybe some are going to shift and move to that platform.
2569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 05, 2022, 12:05:53 PM
@goldkingcoiner. It appears you underestimate the commitment of some of the Southeast Asian fighters. If we are talking about commitment, I reckon Pacman has showed that he is one of the most commited boxers in the world. I would reckon that he is the most commited. His record is not perfect, however, he has accomplished more than anyone in the sport of boxing.

Donaire's social media presence is only marketing. I am quite certain his wife has hired someone to run the account and be in charge of promoting Nonito Donaire in Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Well, we can surely see both fighters determination, in this fight and who ever wins this fight will be the more determined and very hungry for greatness and hunger for victory, for sure many will be in favor with Noaya Inoue. But there are a few that may risk on betting for Nonito Donaire, because of what he has shown inside that ring; he surely was agonizing in pain because of inoue's body blows but his determination has shown more quality.

I speculate that if Nonito Donaire wins, it will be his determination that will win him this fight. Naoya Inoue is younger, stronger and certainly is the better boxer. He is presently Japan's best pound for pound boxer, Japan's own Pacman and he will bring honor to his country to the sport of boxing, very much similar to Philippines' Pacman. However, I predict this to be a knockout for Inoue with Donaire carried out of the ring with a stretcher.

Smart money is on Inoue. The very fact that he is younger and more devoted to his boxxing, as I have mentioned, is really what is the deciding factor here. Of course there is a probability that Donaire could win. But then again there is a probability that gravity turns off tomorrow.

Donaire will be carried out on a stretcher while yelling for a rematch with Inoue. 

Dreams and hopes can only carry one person so far. If he does not have the will to go through with serious dedication to training, he will definitely lose.
I will agree that smart money should be on Inoue in this match. But stop saying that Donaire has no dedication because he did his time in boxing and has been a multiple champion and accomplished a lot. If he losses then no excuses, but it doesn't mean that he didn't put 100% on training, it is that Inoue might be the best boxer in their division, or at what they say, the best fighter win that night.

^^ Thurman is just lurking in the shadows, he just come back from a long layoff and for me his latest win against a balloon up Barrios is not that impressive. He needs to fight quality fighters fight in the division before he can fight for the belt again. So right now, it's Spence, Crawford and Ugas as the top dog and maybe they should fight each other first and then Thurman builds up his resume again before he can fight anyone of them.
2571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just watch "Trust no one" diocumentary film related 2019 biggest crypto scam on: April 05, 2022, 10:12:02 AM
And when I watched the film, I was just curious about one thing: is it possible to understand the feelings of those people who lost everything on quadrigacx exchange?
Of course. Putting yourself in their shoe will make you also feel how they're feeling with this scam. Those big amounts that were scammed to them and hoping that it will be back just broke their hearts. Even if you haven't been scammed or never experienced being scammed, you'll understand how heavy it is to lose your life savings from a platform that you've trusted and thought sort of had a good reputation.
Don't also forget the lesson of not trusting your funds to exchange and using them as your storage.

I am curious, did the documentary resolve the mystery of how he died in India? Did they show proofs that he died in a hospital because of his disease? This is what I am curious about because there are conspiracy theories that he is still alive as they can't produce his body. Haven't watched the documentary yet, but I am interested to watch this film.
A correspondent talked to the actual doctor who has seen the death of Cotten. Other than that, they're all talked but it seems legitimate that Cotten has died there.
Well, those conspiracies are going to live forever for those people that has been there and still doubting the death of Cotten. It's on them if they're going to believe it or not but it's a third party and news agency that actually proved it.
If he died without any suspicious then can we say that this is not a scam per se? Scams happens when it was supposedly Cotten fake his death and then just disappeared and probably living under a false name with that huge money from his exchanges. Although their is circumstances that he might be malversation of funds from his CEX, his death might have contributed though to such allegations that he did in on purpose to scam his customers.

^^ Yeah, I think there is still some revenge in this game and the Warriors wanted to eliminate James for good and not give them any chance this year.

Plus, Klay has found his touch together with Jordan Poole and Draymond is back so this is going to be fun. And it seems that the Lakers are giving up, so the chance of Warriors to win even at double digit handicap is huge.

Looking at Bitcoin price movements in the last few days has shown that bitcoin managed to breakout from its corrective wave phase in the $45K-$47K area. Therefore, I think the next few weeks bitcoin will continue to move uptrend along with other altcoins.

Yes, by next few weeks bitcoin price will move higher to demonstrate to investors that this month of April is a sign of preparing to hit $100,000 before the end of the year 2022. Bitcoin price always give altcoins opportunity to rise  because whenever bitcoin price is decreasing in the market other altcoins price will start decreasing too and whenever bitcoin price is increasing in the market, altcoins price will be increasing too that is giving many investors to use bitcoin to determine other altcoins in the community.

Bitcoin investors are about to see massive pumping of bitcoin because the price used to change positively every month of April to allow people to make a good income that will attract them to invest more for a bright future.
Again, let's not kid our selves and look at $100k this 2022. It was predicted that we will hit this at December 2021 but the opposite happen, the price went sideways and then downward. So we shouldn't look for that price range now, but still remain at the conservative levels of $50k and then $60k. Because if we are not going to hit that price then $100k is out of the picture this year.

While for the winner, a hype in his name and much better rate when another defense is being offered. Let see if bookies are right siding to Spence base from how they place the odd.

It's not that bookies are siding with Spence. Odds are provided not based on how they looked at the fight but on how they compare the stats and impact of both boxers. Spence's boxing stats and experiences tell it all that he should be the Favorite to win the match. Somehow to take advantage of betting on Spence, bettors can risk some money by placing a bet on how Spence will win the fight.

My wild guess is:

Spence winning TKO in Rounds 5-7. I should expect an odds over @3.

No such betting options are yet available on my preferred sportsbook. Let's see if there will be any in the following days.
I would say this is a good prediction and of course good odds for us boxing bettors. I have seen video of Spence doing some training and he looks very sharp and that body, it's all muscle (well maybe his body is really getting large now to 147 lbs).

So why not? over 3.x is a dream for us to win and win big. So let's wait for other betting options in our favorite sports bookies and then we decide what bet we are going to put in this fight.

She has accomplished a lot this year, specially getting that number 1 spot. And hopefully, she won't be the hype like the rest of the other champions in the ladies division. That after winning tournaments and rising to the ranks, they suddenly goes down hard and never recover from that. Of course there are exceptions to the rule because there are so many legends as well in the ladies, but we all know how fast the ladies ranking has change in the last 5-10 years. As compare to the men's for example, Roger's ran at the number 1 seed and now Djokovic.
2576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 04, 2022, 08:19:52 PM
Early pick.

Game : Spurs vs Nuggets.

Spurs need to win every game so they'll be able to be in the play-in tournament.

The current spread is +6.00 for the Spurs, I am taking it as Spurs will surely play very hard to win.
If they lose, I think +6 will likely be covered.

Would you suggest taking the Spurs ML? I am thinking maybe Nuggets would play loose in this game because they are already in the playoffs, so the Spurs might take advantage of this game to move close to the chance to be in the play-in tournament. If Nuggets would choose to drop the Lakers, maybe they'll intentionally lose this game.

Why not though? its the ML odds for the Spurs is very attractive then maybe it's good to put a small to medium bet on them and then have a + handicap bet as well. I don't think they will want to intentionally lose a game because it's gonna be disgusting for NBA fans but maybe they will rest some of their starters here.
2577  Economy / Speculation / Re: Need more more to invest on crypto. on: April 02, 2022, 10:10:24 AM
But not all are financially capable on making out some diversification thats why its not surprising that they would be staying up on a single option which do stick with Bitcoin which is still a good step
always. Investing on crypto does have particular risk thats why its important that you should consider out these things before diving in.Dont really expect that much that you could make
profits.Investment  wont give out assurance and speaking with recognition then it is really that can be seen because comparing the situation back in the past to now then we do see
significant changes in terms to that.
That is without a doubt another important point, after all diversification is for those that are already happy with the size of their capital and can accept smaller profits in exchange for a way smaller risk, however very few people are in a position to do something like this, we are investing because we want to grow our capital and we can accept taking a moderate risk as long as the profits are worth it, so the majority of the members of the forum are simply unable to use diversification as a strategy as it conflicts with the goals they have of growing their capital as fast as they can.
To be honest, for me diversification is crypto and then other assets. But as long as you can handle your investments or at least you have the capital then this is a good option. However, for the majority who is an average joe investor, maybe bitcoin is good already and no need to spread your capital to some altcoins or shitcoins. Better to concentration on bitcoin and let it grow throughout the years and maybe if you have enough profits then that is the time to diversify to other commodities/assets.
2578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 02, 2022, 09:39:58 AM
Huge win by the Memphis Grizzlies against the Phoenix Suns tonight. They just show that even without some of their starters, they can win against the best team in the NBA right now.

It's going to be scary when Ja Morant comes back in the playoff. I reckon that whoever they faces in the first round, a sweep is possible with their strengths.

I didn't think we would see such a result, the Suns were my favorite team in this match. Booker scored 41 points, but it wasn't enough for the win.
The Memphis Grizzlies took the lead with offensive rebounds. Their shooting percentage was not good, but their players all wanted to win this match and they fought.
We watched a good match Cheesy
I agree with the offensive rebounds, I never thought that collectively, they will out rebounded, McGee and Ayton in this game.

And when they took the lead, they never look back, never give any chance for the Suns to make a comeback. When you think that the Suns is about to take the lead, Memphis will respond with their own run and put a good separation lead again.

^^ I disagree though, well it depends on how you look at it, GGG just stays in his comfort zone at 160 lbs and clean up the division. But Canelo chooses to go up in weight and chase other belts. So it just a matter on how you look at their careers, GGG could be one of the best in the middleweight, maybe comparable to Marvin Hagler which for me is the GOAT on that division.

Hackers have stolen cryptocurrency worth almost $615 million from a blockchain project linked to popular online game Axie Infinity.
Ronin, a blockchain network that allows users to move funds in and out of the game this is where the crypto was stolen from.
Ronin said sky mavis working with major blockchain tracker Chainalysis to trace the stolen funds.

How it gonna affect axie infinity?
Can they get to hackers identity and bring them to justice?
Well there were reports that the hackers uses uses CEX (FTX and crypto.com) to manage the funds they steal so maybe there is a chance that the bad actors will be identify. But it might take months and months of going through the reports and hopefully the exchanges are going to cooperate to them in order to identify the hackers. I guess this kind of attacks will have a drastic effects to the affected networks.
