Lakers won by 16 points on the home court of the Pelicans, it's not even close. I know Pelicans are good but honestly, I don't expect much from them especially against the Lakers who are already in playoff mode. When Lebron and AD are leading the team in scoring, the Lakers will be hard to beat.

Lebron 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 17 assists, (that's insane),.. AD 30 points and 11 rebounds. These two are just eating the Pelicans alive.

I'm betting on the Warriors, I don't want to explain a lot as I just felt that it's just the right bet, They are experienced and that will be the disadvantage of the Sacramento Kings. Warriors can defeat them, they just have to minimize the output of Fox.

In terms of how much we should budget, that is depending on our financial capacity, but at least we should know and be honest to ourselves on how much we can afford to lose only. $20 might be too small for others but too big to us, so we have different range in terms of how much we can risk, but being a discipline gambler, we should follow our budget, if we lose it all then come back tomorrow or next time you have cash to gamble. We should not force things out and try to  borrow money as that's the beginning of a miserable life, we think like that, it's like we are not man enough to accept our losses.


And it does not guarantee a win although it wins most of the time. I fact, I see some betslip before with million dollar bet with 1.01 odds but still lose, so nothing is really guaranteed in gambling, our greediness will kill us here.

It has changed a lot due to the monopoly inside. Even this entertainment only, it can be monopolize as the league allows a company to owned a lot of teams, so most likely it's the SMB and TNT which will be winning a championship, and that can be proven even if we checked the past championships where we can see it's their teams that are in their.

What happened is the other teams have no chance of winning a championship or even in the championship. that gets boring and boring and Filipinos don't like that as we want to see an unpredictable game as that excites us.


I think MPBL is trying to compete with the PBA in terms of salary as it has been reported (not sure if its true) that Gregzilla wants to come back home and will be playing in MPBL, his salary was 800k per month, MPBL team tries to match it.

We don't know the actual data but we can analyze it based on the action of the government,  if gambling is ban in your country that it has no connection with religious belief, that could only mean one thing, the poverty rate is high and people are so vulnerable to gambling addiction. We know that gambling business provide income to the government in the form of taxes, but if that would result to their people suffering more, then it's not helping at all. I know some countries ban gambling, and usually it's from poor countries, but since there are still countries that regulated gambling, it means overall gambling is not really the carrier of financial problem.

That's why among the games tomorrow, this one is the most interesting game to watch.  Pelicans have an upper hand due to their homecourt advantage but the Lakers has been in this kind of situation many times, so I wouldn't be surprise if the Lakers will win since Pelicans is still missing the service of Brandon Ingram, while the Lakers will be playing in full force on the last game of the season. I would like to take chances here,  this game is very important for both but on the gamblers side, I think the underdog gives more value here so I'm betting on the moneyline for LA Lakers.

But when you do sports betting, you should at least have an idea on what you are doing. I mean, most sports bettors should love sports, that's a basic requirement if a gambler wants to enjoy what he is doing.

That's another thing, and personally, I don't find it effective even if the person I'm following is winning, because not all the time the tipster will win and not all the time he'll give some tips. The best way to enjoy sports betting is to learn and develop the skills of sports handicapping, otherwise, we will get bored in the long run because we aren't challenge and that will lead us to leaving this type of gambling.

According to this article below, they are not selling well.
https://www.boxingnews24.com/2024/04/ticket-sales-for-haney-vs-garcia-a-trainwreck-in-slow-motion/


Haney choose Garcia to get a good PPV numbers but it seems like it's not doing well. It's different from the fight of Garcia vs Davis because both are warriors, not boring to watch in short. This fight, Haney is just too good and since he is expected to control the fight, it is also expected that it will go his way and would result to a boring fight.

Sometimes when Oftana is not hot, he won't score that match, What's just impressive from him is that he did it on the road where he is not too familiar with the court. This player really is something special, he is very useful in the international competition due to his height and athleticism, and have you seen his chase down block on Semerad, he didn't hit it clean but somehow it has disrupted the shot resulting to Semerad unable to convert it.

TNT knows Bollick would take the last shot, and they know the guy who can defend him.

As far as I know, getting attached to DCA is the most effective way to accumulate bitcoin without taking so much risk. You are constantly buying at a minimal price regardless of the price of bitcoin, which enables you to store maximum amount of bitcoin by not spending your lump sum money but by consistently using your spare money to invest. With that, I have not seen any disadvantages with that even from a newbies point of view. But still, at least you should know the essence of DCA as well before you decide to practice it.

I have to agree. The fact that we are now seeing a consistent bullish price with bitcoin after it crossed over its previous ATH, then I must say we are actually seeing a bull run now, although the final bull run has certainly not come yet. But still, corrections are inevitable, most especially that we are almost near to bitcoin halving, then correction might be tight this time. However, what’s important is that we are seeing a new all time at the end of the day.

That's gonna be tough for the Lakers as the Pelicans are having a good momentum now, they were 4-0 on the road and the home game is their last game. I'm sure they'll still continue to play hard as they don't want to have a record tied with the Phoenix Suns, owning that number 6 based on record is way easier. If the Lakers will drop to the number 10, that is not good for them especially if they'll face the Warriors as Curry would not allow to lose, so it will be a 50-50 battle.

TNT only need one quarter to beat the NLEX. 28-14 in the 4th in favor of the TNT, that's too much to give up.

Bollick is still good for NLEX but it was really Oftana who had a great night with 37 points, probably his season high. What kind of defense NLEX put into him? He couldn't score this much if they put good defense on him, and NLEX might be able to continue their win streak, but TNT is really good in clutch times as their experience had made them to be more competitive when its needed the most.

There's a chance NLEX would tie the game but the last shot attempt of Bollick wasn't properly set up, he was a bit out balance as he was bothered by the defense of Khobuntin and miss it.

I surely think he learned from that but that won’t matter anymore, the real question is if he has the courage now to invest in bitcoin? Because if he hasn’t still, that’s good to say that he fail to internalize his realization with bitcoin. And he will forever carry that kind of regret.

I have also this in my mind. Even if you did invest in bitcoin years ago, but you are more than greedy and just purely focused on profits, I would say you won’t still turn into a millionaire. It takes a lot of patience and determination so you can succeed in long term hodling.

There’s no actually secrets in resisting temptation. Just set your target when to continue hodling or when to start taking profits. To be honest, it’s only rare to see people here never take part in selling because I’d know for sure that everyone here is greedy to take advantage with their big profits. What matters most is that you take time to sell when you see good profits, and you leave some of your coins for continuous hodling. At least you know  how to balance your present and future profits, and you won’t be making future regrets if ever.

I couldn’t agree more. Halving is a crucial event for bitcoin that majority benefit from it. And I also think the term “forces” is not well suited to be used in the thread. It’s like you are trying to create a negative vibe towards Satoshi when in reality, everything that Satoshi did creates a major benefit for everyone that develops interest in bitcoin. Bitcoin is designed to rise its value over time, no doubts about it.

Trading is not limited to certain individuals who have high knowledge and skills, as it can be for everyone who is interested to trade as long as each trader will be patient enough to learn the process. After constant exposure and experience in the market, eventually they will come to evaluate theirselves if they can still be reliable and confident in trading or they’ll just settle with the less risky which is buying and hodling.

While trading enables traders to gain significant profits, hodling as well is also capable of making it. However, it greatly depends on the coins you are hodling. But as long as it’s bitcoin, you know your long term investment will be much safer and more profitable compared to altcoins or shitcoins.

Exactly. You did break a rule, that’s why you end up having your post deleted. This is a reminder to review the rules once again before posting. It may also be that your posts has been reported already by someone who has been observing your series of posts, so take a look of your previous posts as well. But one thing is certain, the moderator is just doing its job so you don’t need to take it seriously, as long as you have learned your lesson already.

You won’t be panicking if you have a stable source of income to rely on. Let’s say if you have a decent job or a successful business, then you won’t worry on how to keep up the payment since you have stable sources that will surely generate you good amount of profits. However, it’s still much safer not to indulge yourself in a loan. Aside that you can make a good amount of savings from your stable sources,  you won’t have to worry as well whenever you money comes in delay, as that will also add additional interest into your loan account.

I have to agree with you. Bitcoin’s high volatility is what makes people stay investing and get attached with it. It could be a threat for others but majority, it could be the best asset for bitcoin. Not all investments are capable to surge high and skyrocket, as some are just following a slowly upward rise, but with bitcoin, while it can make our investments value increase way too fast, it can also drop its price drastically without warning us. However, if you are knowledgeable about bitcoin and you know exactly that those risks are worth the wait, then investing in bitcoin could be the best key to financial freedom and stability.

While trading can be risky and won’t be good for our health, know that it can also be learned through consistent experience. That way, we will learn how to control our emotions everytime we decide to trade. Now if we are still affected everytime we incur losses in trading and we tend to over react, and it will continue in the long run, I think we are not destined to be good and efficient traders. It’s better to change career probably, or just focus on our day job and other side hustles, and leave trading for good so that our health will be safe and emotions will be at peace.
