Looks like the Brooklyn Nets are back on the track, if they can continue winning like this they can climb up to the number 6 team in the Playoff tree which means they don't need to play the crazy Play-In Tournament doesn't really make sense at all. This kind of Durant is what the Nets need because they were thrown close to the garbage since he was injured and they are slowly gaining momentum.



Right, they are on a streak now and just 3 games away from getting the 6th spot from the Cavaliers.
It was a close game because the Knicks are also playing good and doesn't want the Nets to have a wide lead in fear that they will have some struggle to chase it. Durant was the main highlight in that game for scoring a whooping 53 points.
2602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: March 14, 2022, 01:29:08 PM
GGG's age can be his disadvantage but we know what he's capable to do and IMO, except Mayweather, GGG is the only boxer that could possibly pull an upset to Canelo.
That's not a problem because Murata is not a type of fighter that would give GGG trouble, in fact, I believe that it will be the other way around and bookies already know that as evidenced by the betting odds of this fight.

https://www.gamblingsites.org/news/has-date-change-affected-odds-golovkin-vs-murata/
Quote
Golovkin is listed as the -700 favorite in this fight
That's how heavy favorites he is.

I doubt about that, yes GGG have the advantage about ring IQ and experience and per stats but we cannot deny that GGG is slowing down as he's aging every single day while Murata is still hot. Being a heavy favorite will not determine the actual outcome because there's still a lot of factor that needs to be considered.
All I got to say is that while Murata is an underdog, he is also capable and have a chance to upset GGG.
2603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 14, 2022, 12:50:27 PM
I don't think there will be no money in this fight, there will be enough for both, biggest paycheck ever for anyone of them. The hype is still there specially if Spence bet Ugas in his fight. Crawford has been calling him for quite sometime now, it's up to Spence to response back to make this fight happen. We don't want to see him on the downturn of their career before facing each other. It should be in their primes, in the next 2 years.

There's no problem on how much money the fight will generate but the concern is, no one is willing to a 50-50 split. Both camps have a big reason not to make it even and that's not making sense to them. It's really hard to negotiate on that part especially if both boxers have a big name.

Unless one of them will make way for a less split, then that's a good step for the fight to push through. The only time I remember seeing Crawford likely to accept a much less split is when his name becomes a candidate as an opponent to Manny Pacquiao (correct me if I'm wrong here). He accepts that because never in his career he got a chance to have a big fight.

Spence is not willing to take an even 50-50 split on Crawford, he already said that after he won against Danny Garcia.
Quote
"I'm the big dog in the welterweight division,"
"He gotta take a backseat and take that 60-40 [split] or 70-30, whatever we give him.", Spence stated.

The splitting is the most biggest problem and the hardest part while arranging a fight because it will really take a long time as both of the boxer is not willing to take an uneven split especially if both of them have big names like Spence and Crawford.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 14, 2022, 12:25:14 PM
Exactly! Canelo is already used to fight across different divisions, and he is definitely not a beginner in this division. Well except the CW because his fight against Ilunga Makabu did not materialized. Canelo and his team are smart, they certainly won't risk Canelo's career if the chances are slim against Dmitry Bivol and don't forget that Eddie Hearn himself is the brain in this agreement so probably this is a cherry pick before he will face GGG.

Though he knocked out Sergey Kovolev, that was not an easy work for Canelo. Its just that Kovolev gassed out on that fight thus resulted in him being knocked out in the eleventh round. The point here is that Canelo will be having some trouble in the light heavyweight division and Demetry Bivol is not a pushover or we can say that he is not like Kovolev and with that being said, this is going to be a very interesting and exciting fight for Canelo.

Canelo will be facing a bigger fighter, though it's not new to him it's still good to watch a fight that Canelo is not going to dominate every round for sure. I still think that Canelo would win, but I do not think it's an easy one for him, I just love Canelo because of his work in the ring, he is very discipline until he finds an opening to hurt his opening, also his stamina is very impressive.

You're certainly right about that. That's is why Canelo is an impressive boxer because he is so disciplined in his every fight and he doesn't look down on any opponent he face or get so confident, no doubt why he's sitting at the top now.
Canelo knows that Bivol ain't an easy opponent because the latter would not be a champion at his division if he's not that good, and as expected Canelo will start slow in the first few rounds to observe Bivol's movements until he can find that perfect spot.
2605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: March 14, 2022, 12:03:58 PM
Not anymore.

This match isn't going nowhere and not going to happen anymore. It's been said and I think that's already final and Mike is going to do whatever he wants for good.

And he's not going to give any attention for this match so we as fans, don't expect anything anymore and even there's something that happens by surprise, let it happen if it will.
Oh really? Well, I didn't know that, what bad news.

I was so excited to seeing Logan Paul get destroyed by Tyson lol
Even though it's an exhibition fight (possibly), I believe it would be an interesting fight.

Well, I don't know if this fight will actually happen, but I'll be waiting for it to happen, maybe, someday
I think that is what most people were looking forward to, they wanted to see Mike Tyson once again above the ring, but more than anything they wanted to see Tyson destroying Logan Paul for their own entertainment, and even if it was an exhibition fight and Tyson will probably not go at him with everything he has even an old Tyson not going all out is more than enough for most people to handle, and I think Logan Paul was part of that group which would be unable to do anything against Tyson.

We all know that Tyson is a monster in the ring, and every fighter who want to take him down and the outcome is the reverse of the expectations.
Logan Paul can fight against the monster but the big question is can he beat Tyson, can he knock down the monsters?  or the worst thing is he will be the loser in this match.
I still the ability and skill for mike Tyson cause he has already proven for how many years .

Iron Mike already proved that many times when he was still in the industry doing professional fights, Mike attracts many opponent as they also sees him as a trophy and a feat worthy to defeat but almost all of them failed to do it. Heavyweight is a tough division and there's no easy fight on that.
But your question is if Logan Paul can knockout Mike or at least defeat him? Well, we know that Mike is much older than Logan but that doesn't mean that Mike is not capable on taking Logan as he still have the experience and ring IQ that Logan definitely don't have. Clearly and without a doubt, Mike Tyson will win.
2606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 14, 2022, 10:57:49 AM

As for me, I lost the bet because spread was -3.5 for me and the Nets haven't covered it well, I'm just a point shy from that bet though Grin

Things like that happen, better luck next time, maybe you'll get it right. Nets spread was really tempting, but it turns out a trap for those who took the point spread. Well, maybe next time they'll cover if Irving would play as we can see Durant alone cannot make his team dominate their opponent.

I don't think it's a trap, it that point spread is double digit, then yeah it could be. But -3.5 is really doable. It's that the break of the game didn't favor for the Nets to win big.

Durant has a big game, but the Knicks keeps the game alive and very close up to the final seconds. There is no garbage time, but we can go back to the next game and win.

It's a trap for the Nets because bettors thought that they'll win and would easily cover the spread, but the result was different, Nets won but did not cover the spread. I call it a trap because I have that kind of bet before thinking my team would easily cover but they fail and some even lose in the game.

Maybe if it was -10.5, the people would hesitate on taking but in that situation, the favorites would cover most of the time especially a team that could also compete with them.

2608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 13, 2022, 11:49:08 PM
The cryptocurrency youtubers are shillers and like any other influencer on social media they offer promotion to new projects and most of them don't research if the project is good or not. They just go for the funds and accept money for Giveaway so as to keep their audience active. I don't think someone should take advise from them in the first place unless they don't know much about cryptocurrency or they depend on them for information and updates.
Well, there are still crypto influencers who are knowledgeable in their field and those proves that they are still worth to be followed. But in most cases nowadays, most of them have turned to be more greedy and more driven with their own profits. So they tend to have less focus on the project that they are promoting and end up shilling only in the market. These are the types of influencers that we need to avoid because they are leading us only to losses because of wrong information. And while its hard to trace whether they are well knowledgeable or not, its better be safe by staying away from them and stand on your own market analysis and predictions.
2609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hope Vs Realty of bitcoin on: March 13, 2022, 11:33:04 PM
Many people think that bitcoin should move up in a straight line but this is not how the market works. Markets may show us many up and down before moving up and sadly people are not ready for these movements and sell their bitcoin before it reaches the all time high.

The good thing is that for those people who hope that bitcoin will reach a new all time high, bitcoin will not disappoint them however it may take a longer time and longer path. This is the reality of bitcoin which everyone should know. When everyone knows that bitcoin will cross all time high in the coming month and years then why do they need to sell their holding in spot in a loss? Those who hold bitcoin in futures are only at the risk of liquidation in case the market moves in the opposite direction.
Like all financial markets, cryptocurrency also moves up and down. Volatility makes it more prone to market changes but its also the best reason why people stay longer in crypto. However, with bitcoin you have bigger assurance that it will definitely reach its all time high but it may be a long waiting game and patience really at stake. When the market suddenly crashes, weak hands tend to lose their patience and sell their coins, while strong hands never gets bothered easily of the price decline and hold even more their bitcoin. This is why they mostly succeed and gain huge profits in bitcoin because they know exactly how to react whenever bitcoin price moves in opposite direction.
2610  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tradig Course - Beginner on: March 13, 2022, 09:42:27 PM
You might need to take a few courses from various youtubers in light of the fact that the data is for the most part dissipated and you may not track down it in a solitary spot. I utilize this one preceding and I can without much of a stretch get the points and their clarification about it and furthermore not just for fledgling they likewise have a development exchanging techniques there so I figure this could be helpful.

Also make sure to take free courses initially and see if you have an interest in trading.

Not everyone will like to do trading or have a mindset for trading. Once you start to develop interest, they you can even buy some advance courses on trading through udemy.
Trading courses are not really helpful if you don't have interest in trading from the start. You should have the passion to trade in the first place and that's where trading courses could be more helpful for you. As long as they're free, i think that's good. But always remember that learning does not stop in crypto. Its a continuing process that will take place every day and every time you gain the experience. The more you gain knowledge in crypto, the more you get skilled on it, the higher the chances you end up making successful trades.
2611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Top Coin values should I look at ? on: March 13, 2022, 09:21:30 PM
Zero arguments that BTC surpasses them all ( Cryptocurrencies ), if one should venture/delve into alternative coin's that'll last for the next five to six years, What are the top Coin values ? what should I look at ?
I believe diversification is no bad thing as it increases returns, and exposes one to many opportunities.
What alternative coin's can one hurdle for 5years ?
you should look at the most important things when it comes choosing a crypto project that will last for 5 years, such the market cap and those projects that has useful network on the space because IMO surely they will not die for how many years as long as there's a lot of people using it for making transactions..

for example Bnb,Eth, polygon and probably xrp since it has very low fees until now.
Invest in the established projects in the market and i think ethereum and BNB will be top on it. As long as the demands is always there due to the project's real use cases in the community, these two coins will definitely keep on soaring high. Diversification is good too because it can help you gain a lot of profits once they all become profitable, but be careful investing in new projects as they bring more risks and increase our chances of losing once we fall into wrong projects.
2612  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC: is it really bearish? on: March 13, 2022, 08:42:28 PM
There is nothing right and nothing wrong with describing or analyzing a market chart, everyone has their own views and different speculations. When we draw an uptrend line, there must be someone who has a bear analysis at the same time. All of that is influenced by many factors, the use of different timeframes and the trading style of each trader greatly affects market analysis.
Well, everyone is capable to create market analysis but it comes differently since we have our own perspectives and concepts on how we view the market. And for you OP, i guess there's nothing wrong about how you make your own analysis in the market. However, we can only tell that the market is bearish once crypto coins are having price decline of 20%. Seeing the prices not yet hitting the 20% price decline, then certainly this is more of a correction that makes the market moves unstable due to some factors affecting the market.
2613  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading journals worth it? on: March 13, 2022, 08:02:31 PM
Perhaps if you memory is failing you, then it's better to have some sort of trading journal that you can go back and look at and see what went wrong and want went right.

So for me it's not a must, but maybe for beginners, specially if you wanted to see how you did on the very beginning of your journey and the mistakes you have done and the corrective actions you did to help you stay in the game.

Mate, even some experienced traders without memory problems use journals. If you make trades almost every single day then how the heck are you going to remember all that lmao; that's where the journals come into place.
I also think trading journal is a must for all traders because that will definitely help us to trace all our weaknesses and past mistakes so we can learned to improve them and do better trading in the future. Even if you have your good memory that will record all of that, there are really times that writing it could be more easily remembered than just thinking it all over again. Anyways, here are 5 benefits of using a trading journal that may help you. Check here:https://antsignals.com/blog/5-benefits-of-using-a-trading-journal/
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 13, 2022, 01:39:53 PM
I enjoy watching the current GSW unlike before when Durant is with them since they are already too OP and the splash brothers is always limiting there performance to give way on KD performance.

Same here, the original lineup of the Warriors was the Curry, KT, and Green, they are their own big 3 and they didn't start as all-star, they really work their way until they become a good team and also individual players. For me, it was really the coaching staff that made the warriors better, even if there are plenty of changes, they are still a strong team and now that KT is healthy back again, they'll surely be a championship-caliber team again.

There's some hate on Durant before because OKC was really a good team but he choose to join the Warriors to win a championship, the fans did not like it because they make a super team and that makes the NBA not fun to watch. Now, these players have their own team and I'm happy with what I'm witnessing this season because weak teams before are starting to be more competitive and to be honest, I really don't know which team will win in the NBA Finals this season.

Batang Piers -2.5 @1.86 vs FuelMasters, NorthPort really need this game for them to have a high morale going into the quarters.
Unfortuately they lose to the Phoenix, it was the 2nd unit which is their big problem, they are not getting contributions from the 2nd unit, unlike the Phoenix who got contributions from players like Garcia. Also, the import of Northport only scored 21 points which is very compared to his average.
2616  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good time to buy? on: March 12, 2022, 11:43:32 PM
Bitcoin has a great potential to skyrocket, many companies with big financial strength who accept bitcoin will make price spikes in the short term, I don't care about the current bitcoin price, as long as I have the budget to buy then I will buy and hold for the long term.
Well, if all investors have the courage to invest without doubt and hesitation, as long as you only invest what you can afford to lose, then its definitely a good thing. Bitcoin investment has great potentials to be more massive in the future, so investing at the current value would definitely build a good start. However, if you wish to maximize your profits in the future, then wait for a correction in  the market because that will give you a bigger opportunity to maximize your purchase since the coins are certainly low priced. The more coins you bought at a lower price, the bigger the profits you'll achieve in the future.
2617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is now a good time to be investing in Bitcoin? on: March 12, 2022, 10:09:09 PM
I think it's also an opportunity, but rest assured it's not a certainty. if you want to invest do it, because you invest in bitcoin long term. talking about some unstable state conditions for now may have little effect. rest assured with your own research don't get carried away by the unimportant issues out there.
The idea that you want to invest in bitcoin brings already a good assurance that you will be profitable in the end if you can manage it well. However, knowing when the best time to invest in bitcoin creates a big difference. If you can start investing at a bear market or when there is correction that is happening, that means the price of bitcoin is really low. So its a big opportunity to enter the market. Right now, the value of bitcoin is not that high nor very low, so its still a good time to invest. Just hold it for long term so you can expect more profits in times you want to sell it when there is new ATH.
2618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PROFIT must not be top priority in trading, instead of LEARNING first. on: March 12, 2022, 09:48:32 PM
I think it is a generally expected sense that you ought to learn and acquiring information through real exchanges yet the vast majority of the new dealers are too eager to even consider procuring benefit and wound up losing. The point of learning is for one to recognize the most ideal exchanging methodology they can work with which continues to create a bigger number of gains than misfortunes over an exchanging period.
This is expected but still many are not paying attention, they just thought about making profit without knowing the procedure and the process on how they can become more effective. Learning is important same thing on making money, but you have to understand that its too impossible to make profit without the knowledge, so start from the very basic and learn the process, there should be no shortcut to become more profitable aside from learning.
Whether they do like it or not they would really still be going into that path on where they would really be realizing that they should need to learn out from those mistakes because if they dont then they would definitely be experiencing lots of problems ahead because trading isnt a race on which you do need to rush up on things but rather be thinking about sustainability and this would really be the key.Use up your own common sense
on how you would handle out the situation and not really just going or dealing with things just because you are eager on making profits and this is where mistakes do really came from.
Be sensible onto your actions and be mindful and learn up on every single thing along  the way.
Trading brings a lot of risk so if you can't manage the risk because you are not that knowledgeable and well skilled in trading, then you will never make profits in it. In all that we do, learning should always be happening first because that will help us to be more capable and be sustainable in everything we do.  Sad to say, new traders are not eager to learn but they are more eager on making profits. Hopefully, they will realize that if they skip learning, they will be attracting losses and not really profits.
2619  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone will be for Bitcoin on: March 12, 2022, 09:25:56 PM
This is the reality, the phrase is the real talk in the crypto world.

Everyone wants to have bitcoin but in reality only few of those who wants understands the risk of investing bitcoin, most of us probably just focus on the reward as we got inspired by other people because of their success without understanding how they were able to do that.

That's why some gets easily victimized by scams, like the ponzi scheme in particular because of greediness and the scammers are very smart to use the popuarity of bitcoin on their scam business.
People want to invest in bitcoin because of the profits, not on the potentials of bitcoin that makes it more profitable. So they look for shortcuts where they can make profits easier and faster. And end up losing their funds. Bitcoin is not a rich quick scheme. Yes, its giving us more profits but we need to learn it first and understand how it works. Everyone wants to invest in bitcoin, but not everyone wants to learn and be capable of long term profit making.
2620  Economy / Speculation / Re: No FUDs will win the market on: March 12, 2022, 05:06:50 PM
FUDs are something that will exist forever. People will spread FUDs and people will fall for FUDs. There is nothing we can do. We can't stop people from not fearing or panicking. Those fears and doubts are very normal to have.
True. They are not going to be gone and every market cycle, there's going to be a new FUD to send the market done if it's too high. Giving and spreading the right information to the people is what we can do and that's the only thing that we can do so that everyone is informed about bitcoin and this market. Because the first thing that makes someone panic is by having no accurate information of what he's standing on specifically on bitcoin's market.
And they still never win, that's what I saw this time and OP got it right. Hearing them is just a normal thing, we don't mind them either. Perhaps, people had already learned what gonna happen to them once they got affected by this nonsense stuff, it will only create worry and uncertainty. Now that we know how this is being rolled out, I guess it was time for us to ignore them. This never gives us help, but this will ruin everything we planned.
This is why we should never believed and fall for FUDs because it will only lead us to losses. I guess the only thing that could combat FUDs is to keep on making DYOR. Our biggest fears, uncertainties and doubts will never ruined us if we always have the right information in front of us. It's always an edge for traders and investors to know what is the real situation in the market so that we can take advantages on every market's situation.
