2701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 12, 2022, 08:17:20 PM
I am not sure but maybe it is because of home court advantage? but still there's really a huge score gap between the two and Ja Morant was not even there, we really can't deny that the Grizzlies did a good job on that match with their ball movement and offensive on paint.

That was a total dominance by the Memphis. home team these days are winning big time, probably the biggest loss of the Warriors but there's nothing to panic because it's just one game, warriors still has 2 games to finish the series, they can make it in 6.

Right now, that is the trend for NBA, there's no consistency on the team and the home team dominate most of the time. I thought the series is already over, but now it would convince people that Memphis still has a chance to beat the Warriors, they are now +8.5 in game 6, of course the public bets will go to them.

8.5 points 😂, this is the easiest series to bet its not even close.  If Otto Porter is out I might actually take the Grizzlies and the money line here.  Who is gonna guard Adam's inside and then deal with Jackson?  Draymond can only cover 1.  They will donate the paint again.  I know it's in GS, they should win but Grizzlies are now 4 out of 5 ats in this series no reason to stop betting them now.  Is everyone laying on golden state again lol?

My concern is, what if this is just a trap. Bookies would not give the Warriors -8.5 favorite if they think Warriors cannot win and cover that spread, so as we think it might be easy for the Grizzlies, I need to pause a bit and think twice. If I would bet on the Memphis, I'll just go with the moneyline.

No trap.  The bookies give themselves their best chance to clear money.  Knowing GS has a bunch of ban wagon fans and hence betters, they over favor golden state.  MPhil is down 3-2 but they hit the line in 4 of the 5 games.  8.5 points against a te that just won by 40 is laughable.  Especially when that team is the 2 seed.  They didn't get the 2 but backing into the playoffs.  Team is a bunch of dogs, and golden state looked old last night

Maybe you are right @wheelz1200 , in that case, I feel betting on the ML is very reasonable now. Warriors were not competitive in game 5, therefore Memphis now have the momentum to beat them in game 6, this is quite scary for the Warriors fans, we might see a big upset here.

Unfortunately, the market isn't good nowadays OP in which investing in new products is not a smart idea. If I were you, I will rick my money buying Bitcoin and some potential altcoins, they will certainly survive the current situation and gives you assurance to still it has until the bear season is over, unlike these new projects that most likely will just die and lose your money. I am really sure we don't like this to happen to us, therefore, we should choose those projects that we know it has the chance to recover.
2703  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to expect in a bear market on: May 11, 2022, 10:51:40 PM
This is what I observe during the last bearish season...
- everything is down
- panic selling increases
- old-timer investors are buying
- the forum and news are more on negative thoughts than positive views
- many projects will die
- some miners will quit


I expect this will be happening again, maybe some areas will show some change like panic selling but the rest, I was very certain of that. We have to be prepared, that was the best thing to do, otherwise.

2704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 11, 2022, 02:20:11 PM
They already win one game at Memphis backyard with Ja Morant playing. And they way they should their pose last game, Grizzlies will need a lot of help, someone will have to step up and have big numbers otherwise if Curry and Thompson and Poole started hot in the first quarter. It will be hard to do catchup because the team knows very well how to protect their lead in the closing minutes.
Grizzlies are doing their best they can to have a chance to win here but they need to be more consistent with their playing and strategies because as we can see in the past games the lead is not that huge aside from a game 3, and they can get that win if they focus on the game. Better not to let the top players of Warriors to have a good game in the first half or else, their series will end now. It's also unfortunate to loss your key player, this will be a big challenge for Grizzlies to stay alive, but I think Warrios will be more serious in the next game, they want to proceed on the next round already.
It's their chance to be in the NBA WCF, so there will be no other game, they will finish the series in game 5 even if it's not on their home court. I'm sure Curry will make sure they will start strong and finish strong, what happened in game 4 should not happen to them as they almost lose.
2705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 11, 2022, 01:35:08 PM
The Suns-Warriors match-up will be like the Nets-Bucks match-up last season where the Bucks won. I expect this to be a very close one and even though I'm a Warriors fan, its hard to predict who will win on this one.
Yes, it's hard and the fact that Suns has the home court advantage, they are surely be the favorite to win the series, that's where my bet on the Warriors will get a good odds.

Embiid suffered again a right orbital fracture, the same injury that he got against the Raptors. Without him in Game 6, I don't know if the Sixers will beat the Heat even though Harden will play like how he played in Game 4. If he will not play in Game 6, the Heat will end it on the road.
That's so unlucky, he was playing very well in game 3 and 4, and now that they have a chance of winning the series, he is suddenly out.  Sad

Ape got hacked and many NFTs we're stolen, yet we saw many spending hundreds of dollars for gas fee to buy yacht club NFT the other day, are people dense or what? This shows how unsecured NFTs are isn't it? Other than playing all those play to earn NFT games I have no reason to be this serious with NFTs, I just feel like NFTs aren't there yet, maybe they will some day.
That is why we called this investment risky...and that is why only risk-takers went to survive while the others going to give up after suffering losses, scams, and getting hacked. I'm sure there is no perfect platform in crypto which literally we could hear some negative feedback from the community but for us who still believe this is worth enough to invest like NFT, that was your choice. It is indeed your desire and willingness to take, not because of somebody.

I have this feeling that there is a possibility that online sabong will be back in the new administration there is a budget deficit as a huge part of the budget is going for payment of oustanding loanthe new presient may have won overwhelmingly but the business sector is not giving him a good score in investment priority from foreign investors, it will exhaust every means to generate revenues.

Where is that information coming from? Just because the stocks have dropped when Marcos was announce as the winner doesn't mean investor are not confident on his administration. The Philippines has a lot of resources, we can find a way to generate revenue from taxes, so let's just calm down, if they choose to bring back the online sabong, then good, but if the reason is that it destroys the life of the poor, then better keep the ban forever.
2708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 10, 2022, 09:36:07 PM
Now that Embiid seems to be healthy enough to carry the 76ers, I wouldn’t put it past them to make it to the Finals. I like the Embiid/Giannis matchup and hope we get to see them in the Eastern Conference Finals. Also hoping we see a Warriors/Suns matchup in the West. I like Embiid and the Sixers though. I think they’ve got a decent shot at winning it all if Embiid can continue getting healthier. I really feel like the Bucks/Sixers/Warriors are the only teams left capable of winning the championship at this point with the Bucks still being the defending champions and team to beat.

I would be much comfortable believing that Bucks would be in the ECF if Bucks did not blow out their lead in their last game. Now, the series between Bucks and Cetics are on a best of 3 only, if Bucks will beat the Celtics at home, then most likely we can expect that will happen.

For the East, this scenario below would be possible.

76ers beat heat in game 5 and 6 = semi finals Winner
Bucks beat Celtics in game 5 and 6 = semi finals winner

The price keeps, it is very certain to expect a pump after the correction and vice versa. If we think that it repeats the history, I can't tell that but I believe it won't happen again whether we like it or not, it remains unpredictable and we never where it goes exactly.

We can project and draw a line to what is possible to happen but we never expect the market will follow in that direction.
it was a headache if we check the market always...
2710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Worth investing? on: May 10, 2022, 06:17:58 AM
Does it makes sense to target layer 1 scalable projects with web3 integrated? I know that layer 1 aren't that good anymore or let me say almost dead hype but what about those that want to integrate web 3.0? For example Oasis Network.
It adds potential but it is not necessary to consider upon investing. Market influence, marketing strategies, etc...People had to look who is the team behind the project, they preferred to invest in a project that they feel it hypes. In fact, if we take a picture of how these NFT and metaverse projects evolve, it is majority seeing the possible hypes and that is why many are able to buy them.

If you are a short-term investor, it is a wise decision to feel in love with the projects evolving in hype but if were preferred long-term, choose those who have that kind of technology.
2711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 09, 2022, 02:02:49 PM
Open media training for Haney here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX8IEu2UkwE

You can see the speed, really motivated for his upcoming fight against Kambosos.
I'm sure since Kambosos is the underdog, bettors might look for him as we have seen a big upset recently.

"Superman speed warp speed",
"All night long"
,  Grin

That's the biggest advantage of Haney in this game, Kambasos is more of a counter puncher but if his opponent is faster than him, he cannot catch him. Well, he came from a huge upset victory, and now he will be tested again against a quicker champion than Lopez, so let's see the outcome.

I just want to see a clean and fair fight if this goes to the judges scorecards.

But he still cannot be complacent as the fight is going to be held is Australia, Haney has to beat Kambasos convincingly, by KO is the best way, and if he cannot do that, then I would not be confident that the judges will favor him. you like to see a clean fight, maybe that will happen, but clean judging, that's questionable IMO given the history of some big fight held in Australia before, familiar of Pacman vs Horn?
2712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers - 2nd round (Let's discuss) on: May 09, 2022, 01:40:13 PM
~snip~

I'm also with the speculation that the Philadelphia 76ers might even the series in tonight's game. Joel Embiid's presence really plays a big impact that's why some of his teammates awaken in their previous game. If his teammates will be like that tonight, they will manage again to freeze other Heat scorers like what they did last game. Only Jimmy Butler performed in the Heat's last game, maybe he already knows well how to deal with the Sixers as that was his former team.

Embiid is indeed the most valuable piece of the team, judging the last 2 games, it is very evident how the Sixers were playing with him on the floor. I actually believe them to reach the finals and the Nets, but unfortunately the Nets was awful lol.
Now that the Sixers have the momentum another win in game 5 and most probably the Sixers will advance to the CF.


The odds have changed already, though heat are still favorite to win the series, but they are not heavily favored now.

Current betting odds.
heat 1.66
Sixers 2.23

Great odds for Sixers fans. TAKE IT NOW>

If we talk about our protofilo for all time. The coins we held during all time we in crypto.

Then these were my holdings:
...
4. Mana (Still holding with regret)
5. Netvrk (Still holding with regret)



Also I sold some other coins like - Sand token. Crypto.com, Bnb, Cake, Ogn, Ada

I'd just wonder about your comment " holding with regret". Have you missed the chance to sell them high?
Well, these coins aren't on my list either, they don't have potential in the first place but since it was in your wallet now, I think you need to sacrifice them. Sell them as well and replace them with potential coins.

If I were you, take your time to buy more on the leading coins like BTC and ETH, or add more to your Solana. That I believe they are worth enough to hold.
2714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reducing Bitcoin Transactions in El Salvador on: May 08, 2022, 10:48:00 PM
This is going to picture out that El Salvadorians aren't appreciating much for Bitcoin. It was to see that even though all the countries will legalize Bitcoin this never means that it increases the use of Bitcoin for daily transactions and cuts huge transactions using fiat money. As the chart says people just got hypes on the trial stage but never see they will continue using it in the long run. It's on the downhill which is really not a good sign to see.

I didn't see wrong with the use of the Chivo wallet, it was that people aren't prepared yet nor they already have knowledge on how to use this.
2715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 06, 2022, 09:23:33 PM

Well, gambling is really for entertainment and that kind of rush in emotion which some people do really seek off.The thrill, the excitement the suspense when you do know that you are betting into something.
Im talking about hard earned money where it is been mainly be affected on this kind of situation where you do love to play but you do need to spend up those funds.So self control would be
crucial on here.If you dont like to lose those funds then better stop and immediately cut off that excitement of yours no matter how tempting it would be.
It is sometimes we do gambling to please ourselves from a busy life but it should be limited. It is really hard to work every day and just earn a few bucks but it is lost in just a minute because of our stupidity and gambling addiction. I can't really imagine doing that.

It is just to say that gambling shouldn't be taken seriously or else we fall in love with them. Addiction could ruin everything we have and that is why we should have to fight this feeling as this won't give us a better future. We can do gambling but only use the extra money.

Due to the undetermined flunctuations of the bitcoins ,tho many expert have studied and are very good in the btc markets.
My curiousity to know if bitcoin will be an everlasting investment platforms is craving for more answers ,
As we hear all around of the closure/breakdown of different crypto companies and app. My furious questions will be as follows.
•Is btc here to stay ?
•Is bitcoin going to be an everlasting investment platforms ?
•Assurance and guarantee of the bitcoin ?
•Bitcoin will replace the physical note tendency ?

Unfortunately, the answer to all your questions is NO. That was my opinion.
There is certainly a thing called Limitation and we remember that having Bitcoin is only an alternative option as a currency, and even if this will die and might replace with another platform, we still survive.

Anyway, Everything you've heard is just their own opinion as well. We all can be wrong but there is one thing I could say, Never think that Bitcoin will last forever.
2717  Other / Archival / Re: Why has bitcoin adoption failed in El Salvador? on: May 06, 2022, 02:53:18 PM
snipped...


There are all sorts of motivating factors behind what you say is the failure of Bitcoin in El Salvador. Firstly, the government tried to hurry the process along by basically forcing El Salvadorean's to fund a purchase of Bitcoin (through taxes) which was then given back to every citizen - basically just a vote buying attempt. A slower roll out, which focused on setting businesses up to process payments through Bitcoin in a really efficient way, would have been the correct way to do it or even focusing on the "send money from overseas and avoid excessive middleman fees" would have been a stronger angle to take on this. However some people in the country struggle to find work or even eat, so they're not too interested in this inanimate internet currency when they already have existing payment facilities.
The exercise to its rule becomes unfriendly and it seems to urge people to use it rather than to see a willingness on their part. The approach isn't right and certainly these people, these Salvadorians never understand it clearly which makes them argue with the government and stop the adoption. But what happens is not a failure at all, there is only a thing they need to change before imposing it again maybe at this time 2nd attempt, went successful.

Well, I guess there is no instant adoption has been made and the government needs to understand it, instead.

That is something it looks great for Binance but I'm not going to say the community will get benefit from this.
At this time, I see huge manipulation that will happen in the crypto market and inside Binance. Now, I was thinking about the participation of EM in this know exchanger. Perhaps, there is no evidence that could prove it, however, this news, somewhat shows something unexpected strong connection between the two that we never know before.

I don't see good news when Elon Musk takeover twitter social media and not impact directly for bitcoin can reach to higher price again and always correcting almost on this week.
Of course, we don't expect this will help to make recover Bitcoin as the intent of Elon Musk in acquiring Twitter is not about Bitcoin. If ever he promotes crypto, He'll do it first with Dogecoin as his favorite.
2719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 06, 2022, 12:17:01 PM


I believe Bucks will win game 3 as that's whay my favorite expert said. LOL
If the stats are accurate, then I would not hesitate betting on the Bucks in game 3.

I guess that's accurate though and those numbers really made sense. That's most probably how you base a team performance when the series becomes intense. Though it was not stated on the post what are their specific percentage in game's 3 and 4 when the series is tied 1-1.
But base on the first 2 games, either team are capable of winning regardless if it's at home or road. However, I would always believe of the home court advantage, because fans could boosts the player's morale.

Yes, that's right, home court is a big factor for the success of the team unless a team is trash.
Bucks is not a trash, they steal one game on the road, so they should do better at their home court, and I also believe that they'll be able to cover the spread.
2720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 06, 2022, 11:37:48 AM
Still taking Memphis.  + 7 points is nuts.  Who's gonna guard ja, iggy?   Lol. GS is gonna struggle all series guarding him.  Double him and that's exactly what Memphis wants.  They led the league in offensive rebounds and points in the paint.  Golden state was in trouble as soon as GP went down and Kerr knew it.
They had been playing at close fights so I guess that's the wisest pick. Get that handicap for the Grizzlies and if ever the Warriors win, there is a high chance to still win it with covering the spread. It's not that big of a loss for them as Ja Morant made an amazing feat without Brooks.
It's more of a loss for the Warriors without GP2 as he is one of the elite when it comes to defending small guys like Ja.
This is where I want to see Wiggins be focused on defense. Can he? Let the splash brothers do the offense to preserve his energy in the defensive end against Ja.

Either Wiggins or Poole but I'm more with Wiggins, he need to step forward in guarding Morant, it's a matter of being competitive

not just with your offensive talent but more on willingness to adjust and become a 2-way player. Without GP2, Ja will take more offensive attacks

He will create his high jump layoffs, he has more percentage when attacking the basket. As a star, he will take every possible advantage and

that will be the pain in the ass from the Warriors. They need to make a defensive stop to win their upcoming games.

Wiggins can't  guard Morant, he is too big for Morant and he cannot catch Morant because Morant is so fast. The best way to limit Morant is to double him  when he drives so he'll pass the ball and let his teammates do the attempt which is a low percentage. Warriors need someone like GPII to match Morant's speed, but as I see, no one from the team can do that for now.
