Same here, if Durant comes back in time, then they can still survived in the regular games and go with the playoffs.

And then with Simmons waiting for his time and they occasional Irving being inserted, they could still manage to last 6th-7th spot in the East and automatic playoff berths. It might not be good position at they are going to face the top teams but we will never know specially with KD at the lineup.

It's more likely that they will gonna secure their spot in the NBA playoffs once Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons will play together and we will gonna see more improvement with Ben Simmons once he really does his job and play real basketball in Brooklyn Nets. This is one of the reasons why they really need to consider changing their rules when it comes to Kyrie Irving because he is one of the keys to unluck their strong performance to climb to the NBA finals but they instead choose to make it hard for him until today.

Got some good news about that, Kevin Durant is likely to play again as early as 1st week of the March and the Nets will be much more stronger again as their injured superstar will come back again to dominate the court. Durant almost missed 20 games after he suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee.

And for Ben Simmons, he is expected to make his debut soon wearing a Nets uniform in a match against the Sixers but it looks like he won't make it as he's now injured before his expected debut. Any thoughts about this? It looks like he's avoiding his scheduled debut date Grin

That's what happens when you sit out like a baby.  Them muscles tighten up.  I don't hate the kid but I Lost respect for what he did.  Quit on his teammates.  Can't say I'd be super excited if I was on the Nets to have him on the team.  I would like to see a Nets sixers playoff series though now Smiley  don't think Ben would be treated kindly if he drives the paint

At first, it wasn't quite a big deal when he was in the Sixers but he began his drama and left the team hanging that's why Embiid doesn't respect him anymore. I think Simmons have been using his drama to cover up his mistakes that isn't that consistent anymore in the court and that he is having a hard time shooting, we can all see his stats from that time.

Yeah, the Nets shouldn't rely on Simmons as he have a history about that already, the kid will and can play good but he can't be trusted anymore in times of pressure.

Correct! Betting on a favorite doesn't mean that they could win the game easily because the odds are different, there's no assurance that they can handle the spread as it is considered a disability compared to the underdog. Even you did you're part on researching and comparing their stats, it is still not an assurance.

I got the opposite team, Dallas Mavericks +4. GL mate!

You got lucky, not only cover but Dallas snatch this game against the hot GSW.

Don't know what happened but the entire 3 quarters were dominated by the warriors, but in the last and important Dallas
overpower them and dominated to win.

Not really an assurance for heavy favorite, even those who bet during live games they are all lost.

Congrats to you and all those who bet against the favorite.

Thanks! It was a tough choice betting against the favorite and a former champion. Based on their recent games, the GSW have been cooled down and suddenly they're inconsistent too compared to the healthy Dallas with Luka as the head. The GSW have dominated the Mavericks especially in the 1st quarter but the Mavericks silently chased them in the 3rd until they can snatch it in the 4th.

Thanks for the heads up! Now, the Nets will be a threat again when KD comes back in the league and try to climb the higher spots to secure a place in the playoffs instead of playing more games in the play-in tournament. Plus I've read that New York will soon change their rules on the vaccine mandate, then this also means that Irving could play at home games.

2584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 27, 2022, 05:15:20 PM
It won't happen. Let's just hold on until the match comes. Let's also stop distracting ourselves from him.
He knows what's best for him and it's his own personal battle. But the most important battle that he should do right now is to be well-trained so that he'll win against Butler. He just doesn't have to be careless and people are expecting a lot from him. Let's hope that he's going to be well despite the distraction.
Most probably Casimero want痴 to have a normal life as well, so maybe the vlogs are his own way to express that then so be it, I知 not a fan of his content as well I just want him on the ring. He already knows how to balance his activities, I知 confident as well that despite of all the distraction he will remain focus on his training so he can win on his up coming fight with Butler.
We all want him to watch on the ring. For avid fans, watching his vlog will get them some information that would add up to the speculations or if there's anything that he says towards the vlog. But let's forget about the vlog and get it on the match although there's some relation on it as he might be telling what he's up to for this upcoming match while filming it. And at the same time, if his channel is monetized then there's the other reason why he also grinds on documenting his daily life.

Most viewers are speculating that he just wants to focus on vlogging for now and we can't blame him for that because we can't deny the fact that vlogging could also be a good source of income. He might have his own reasons but I sure that whatever it is, it's also for his own good but I hope that he could also consider grabbing the right opportunities for him.

Really? Didn't heard about that at all. Casimero's vlogging channel ain't going to be his main source of income because we already know that he is into boxing and it is already his life even before. He once also said that he wants to follow Manny Pacquiao's footstep or even greater. YouTube might be a good source of income but I'm quite sure that it is not what he wants.

Denver were short here, they won but did not cover the spread.
Jokic production on points were only limited, that's why, he was only shooting 6-16, so they they were not able to dominate the Kings.
Yup, Jokic started slow, it took him 9mins before getting some shots in and they can't hold on to their leads. Whenever they're about to get a double digit lead they'll suddenly allow the Kings to score consecutive points.

It was a back and forth game up until the end but they got lucky as the Kings made some crucial mistakes in the final minute of the fourth quarter then they started fouling which only made things worse.

That's the problem with the high spread, it's necessary that you are betting are dominating their opponent so you'll not worry while watching. It's just one of the losses we have, of course, just bounce back mate on the games tomorrow, good luck. Do you have an early lean?

Low spread and high spread is still the same, even if you bet on the underdog, there are times that you are not really lucky. It's easy to choose without a point spread because you'll just bet on the favorite, but you know the odds for the favorites, you'll still likely to lose in the long run, meaning it's not easy.

For tomorrow, I got the Warriors over Dallas, -4 should cover.

2586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: February 27, 2022, 04:32:24 PM
Looks like I gonna choose Canelo to win this fight since this is only like his past fights where you thought he might get some serious challenge but in reality, he will just gonna beat his opponent with no problem. That would be another exciting match since his opponent here is known to be a strong fighter and has no losses, looks like this is a great challenge for him as well because he is putting his clean record on the table fighting one of the current great boxers in this era.

We all going to choose Canelo, it's not that Bivol is a weak fighter it's just Canelo is a very superior fighter and he is on top of the pound for pound boxer now and he is on a trail to establishing his legacy, I don't think Bivol has what it takes to stop him, only Golovkin stand a chance to stop him and they have a chance to meet again after they beat their respective opponents.

Comparing these two boxer, Canelo is indeed the superior than Dmitry Bivol. Canelo have all the advantage needed to beat Bivol as of record, experience, capabilities, and KO rate. Bivol is an undefeated but that won't matter because Canelo have closed his mind to carve his own legacy in the industry.

If you're going to bet then Canelo is a much more safer bet rather than Dmitry Bivol.

In my own opinion,owning 0.01 bitcoin will be considered as a rich person.For the average people, that amount is too big/huge for them.Holding one bitcoin is definitely a life changing profits.But for some people who are already rich, one bitcoin is just a normal amount.Thats why they keep on buying more bitcoins to become more filthy rich.

I am very sad to hear about that. I can understand your emotion. I know you are more worried about your family and lives. I hope everything will be better. The world have to care about Ukraine. I was weeping to hear that people there are in danger and none of the nation came to protect them. We hope for the peace to establish there and people start to live happily again.
Feel sorry for Ukrainian people, so many peoples lives are at risk especially children.I am also not happy that this is happening, and i wish everythimg ended peacefully.But the President of Ukraine stated that they do not want to make peace with Russia. Cry

They didnt even think about innocent people,despite of the current situation pandemic. There current administration is more focus on war. Hopefully, this war will gonna end up soon.
2589  Economy / Economics / Re: War requires three things on: February 27, 2022, 03:15:52 AM
The Russian president Putin is using this war against the good people of Ukraine to bow to his plan and that they should not even think of joining NATO.
It began because NATO trying to arm Ukraine.Russia repeatedly warn US and NATO but they never listened.
Ukraine is not a part of NATO though,yet Russia has now invaded the country.Russia clearly wants under their control whether they are part of NATO or not.

Money can bring happiness, when you have enough money to the extent you don't have to think of where to get money to fend for food, clothing, and shelter there is this level of happiness that comes just with this but money doesn't have the capacity to buy happiness.

This feeling about money is just natural,  when their is money life is simple and anything can be afforded without thinking how to get it.but  one is broke it is impossible to get the things which  you wish ,  not able to have what you want due to the lack of money can be annoying sometimes. Money will always bring happiness because its important and required daily.
Well,thats true. Money can bring you happiness because you can buy everything you want.But in some point,happiness depends on your sorroundings. If you have a toxic family and friends,you cant be very happy with even you have a lot of money..Money can give you happiness but its temporary. Just my thoughts.
2593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What I understand about bitcoin on: February 25, 2022, 07:04:35 AM
Bitcoin is the biggest form of cryptocurrency.Its the most well-known one and it is the one thats been the most adopted currency all over the world. Bitcoin is a decenyralized digital currency that no one has controlled. It dowlesnt have any physical entity or financial institution. It has only 21 million total coins in the system, so you can print more unlike traditional momey that we use everyday.Bitcoin are use as as store of value,medium of exchange and especially good for investment.
Wrong on that part, We cannot print more like fiat in which the government can print unlimited like what is happening in other countries now.

in bitcoin that 21 million supply is the maximum and actually there are lower supply now because since this is irreversible meaning all of the lost bitcoin are now in the air and i believe that there are million of them had been lost .
Oh sorry .. I mean so you cant print more. It is just a typo error. I know that bitcoin has a limited supplies. Anyway thank you.  Wink

The government can print more fiat that will have a bad effect in the future as they will pass on the burden to the people, while bitcoin over time will grow its value due to its consistent demand as the adoption increases.

One of the first thing you'll learn when learning to trade profitably is risk management. This is one of the fundamental key for anyone starting out with trading. Must know and must respect.

Most beginners forget the importance of risk management. They just hop in the market and making losses. They let their emotions lead, without knowing that they already have lose everything (money).Trading as a beginner without proper skills and guide can be very risky.Thats why it is important to make an adequate research. Get an expert and seek some advice before trading.Take your time and success will come. Happy trading Smiley

2596  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How weird is it to borrow money and invest into Bitcoin? on: February 24, 2022, 04:50:28 AM
I think this isnt a good idea.Borrowing money to invest in crypto (bitcoin) is not advisable. NEVER! If you have extra money that you're willing to lose then invest it in bitcoin,but do not put yourself in a risk by having a big debt.Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin is unpredictable.Yes bitcoin can make you profitable but in some point,it will also lose your investment capital.And aside from losing your money,you also have to pay your debt back.
It is certainly not right.

The uncertainty in this market is high and the newcomers might be caught off guard if they try to borrow money just to invest in bitcoin. Good days will certainly come.

Invest your own money, not borrowed so you have no obligation and you're not putting any problem and stress on yourself which you might think every night and will affect you emotionally.
Absolutely,Taking a loan just to invest in crypto is horrible idea.Especially if you dont really understand the market.Do not think you'll become rich quickly by high-risk investing.Never invest money that you can afford to lose and more importantly dont invest into anything without enough knowledge.

But what if that wouldn't come when you're about to pay the interest? But what if that wouldn't come when you're about to pay the interest?
Thats why,you need to think twice before making an investment.Only invest your money that you can afford to lose without getting into financial trouble. Smiley

There is a popular opinion in the locale that "A man who has money doesn't easily get angry or offended, lol". This statement goes the other way as well, that "A man who doesn't have money is easily offended by everything and everyone".

I have put this statement on analysis a lot in mind, trying to watch my mood and correlate my happiness with the amount of money I have each time. Everytime it seems like i have overspent and almost becoming broke, there is a feeling of irritation and sadness that comes with it. Also when i get some credit alerts, there is an associated joy.

I know it is not proper to tie your happiness to finance, but i did some research into the subject and found a study that was conducted with the result that happiness increases with the amount of money one makes up until a point  where there is no greater degree of happiness from making money, but unhappiness if ones income drops beneath that range.

(See study here - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/20/how-much-money-you-need-to-be-happy-according-to-wealth-experts.html)


What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?


Yes its true.Money cant buy happiness but you certainly are'nt happy without it.You cant directly buy happiness but it can buy things that makes you happy. Smiley So while you cant really buy happiness,money has a huge impact on how happy you are..That happiness also depends on what do you do with your money.Using your money wisely is what give you true happiness. Seeing your family have a happy life because you can gave them all their needs, must be the best feeling in the world. Cheesy
2598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I知 planning to surprise my soon-to-be-bride sister some BTC on her wedding day on: February 23, 2022, 05:57:46 AM
Last time, I gifted my sister some ETH to hold on her Trust Wallet and she plans to keep it for a long time due to her belief that it can go even higher.

Her wedding day was supposed to happen in the final days of December, but it was ruined because of the super typhoon, so it was moved this month. I知 so happy that she can finally walk down the aisle after a successful 10+ year relationship with her fiancee. The wedding is in a beach setting, far away from my city.

Not only I may surprise gift her some BTC, but I知 also planning to give her my unused SecuX V20 hardware wallet (since I only bought it at a special discount in exchange for a non-biased video demo). So I値l just reset my settings there so that she can create a new account and I値l teach her step by step since she has no experience yet in using hardware wallets (but already has experience in Trust Wallet and other non-custodial wallets).

After all, I already have Ledger Nano S and SafePal S1. I already educated her the basics about private keys, seed phrases, etc.
If you're planning to gift your soon-to-be-bride sister, make sure to gift something that matters to them, something that they will remember.And I think giving bitcoin as a wedding gift would be a great idea.Since bitcoin could be a great help with their financial needs.And probably can be use in planning for their future.. Im sure, that your sister will gonna apprecciate it. Smiley

This is how any investment should be done.Only invest an amount that you can afford to lose.Which means before placing a trade or investment,think about how much money you're willing to give.Because trading/investing can be risky if you dont have enough knowledge.Also,you cant even predict what will be the outcome of your investment..Thats why it is crucial to start with something you can afford to lose. Dont be so greedy, because greed will leads you to poor money management.

I will got with team LeBron this year and I hope I am right but overall , I expect a great show not like last night when I had to find motivation to keep looking at Dunk Contest... . I get it that the top dunkers don't want to join but come on , at least try to force them to compete ? for the show and fans...because this is what sports suppose to be sometimes , right ? pure entertaining for the fans around the world and that dunk contest was awful.

The all star game is a crap shoot since both teams have enough fire power to win.  I went with the under and the first quarter they scored 92 points lol.  Second quarter is much lower and I'm hoping in the fourth they take it serious and start locking each other down.  So far so good.  Tight game getting towards half.

I understand you mate. Since they changed the format, the All Star game became a bit boring but yeah we already know what would happen and still chooses to bet on whoever team has more firepower or chance and for that I bet on the Team LeBron.

Team LeBron have won the game, and Stephen Curry of the Team LeBron was hailed as the All-Star MVP.
Final Score: 163-160
Congratulations to all who have won the bet Grin

Actually the current format makes the event balance and satisfying watch compared to previous all star game that is pretty one-sided match in case many strong players on West than East and the other way around. On this format, The team capatain has the chance to build his team base on there capabilities so usually the team captain has a chance to form his dream team compared before that each don't have option to choose players to fill all the roles to build a perfect team. The score shows how good the result is.

Every format has its own advantage and disadvantage of course, but what I mean is, they probably know that this season will be much more interesting though if they had bring the old format this year's All-Star game as the ECF and WCF are both competitive and does have a lot of strong players.

Well, we do have our own different perspective and I understand you for that.
