Here's my early pick.

Game: Oklahoma City at L.A. Clippers

I like this game because I feel this is the easiest one to cap.

Both teams are struggling but I'll pick the better team and I believe that the Clippers are not only the better team here but they are also due for a win. If they'll win this game, I expect them to bounce back big time and cover the spread.

The spread is -11 for now but I believe the Clippers will win that for me.

Market corrections can sometimes also provide entry points that investors can take right a way. If an investor has cash and is waiting to invest in the crypto market, a market correction can provide an opportunity to invest at a lower price.

We must always look at the opportunities that are created within the market, even a person that is heavily invested in bitcoin and witness a correction can take advantage of it, but how? That is the moment to dollar cost average and buy bitcoin for a cheap price, this reduces the overall price at which you bought bitcoin and it lowers the breakeven point, this is what those that invested in 2017 at the ATH should have done instead of panic selling their coins as they did.

We should understand how they reacted since it's the first bull run and they are still in doubt if bitcoin will rise or will just dump because some experts are saying that bitcoin is just a bubble. At least seeing the market now will make them realize they make a huge mistake and that they should make the right decision this time.

In the next decade, I believe Banks will adapt to cryptocurrencies. They will surely find a way to adapt to cryptocurrencies that can be mutually beneficial between the bank and its customers, we'll just have to wait.
If the government will set rules that are crypto-friendly, most likely the banks will adopt as they a business that operates for profit, more options for their clients will lead to more revenue opportunities for the business. It will always start on how the government sees crypto because they are the ones who will regulate it, so if they are against crypto, no banks would be able to integrate crypto into their business.
2764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 01, 2021, 06:59:57 AM

Therefore my pick is Jazz -1.5

Another hit bro, congratulations, you are hot so far.

Bucks were not the same team, they badly miss the service of Brook Lopez, and Middleton did not play as well.
I'm glad that Utah Jazz is back winning again, maybe they'll continue this streak like they did at the start of the season.

If you got a special bet for Jazz winning 11+ points, that could have hit too.

Thanks, another lucky day for me though.
I have no bet on Jazz to win 11+, I try to put a parlay but I lose my parlay but the bet that I'm confident most won, so that's okay.

I Will be posting my pick later, I'm currently on a hot streak now and I don't feel I'm losing soon, lol.
2765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL, HODL, HODL when can one actually sell Bitcoin? on: November 01, 2021, 06:01:23 AM
There's no sense of holding if we just don't benefit from it.

Hold and sell, that's the right term, I think there's no one even the richest in the space that has not to sell his/her bitcoin yet, one has to enjoy the profit as bitcoin does not have a value if we will not enjoy it and its profit for investing. So in my case, I'll certainly see my bitcoin once I'm satisfied with the profit, simple as that.
2766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 31, 2021, 10:39:45 PM
With the pandemic happening for over a year, going back to good and high numbers of the audience is not possible yet.


I think it's only a problem in the Philippines, but in the US they are already allowed to go to mass gatherings due to their high vaccination rate and people are not afraid anymore of the virus. So this fight could still make money from the audience but let us not expect too much as the pot on this fight is very small, which makes me think that it's not a popular fight.

If we saw the Sultan vs Caraballo fight, you can tell that they have the crowd needed already, so most likely this fight will have the crowd that is enough on their expectation. Don't worry it will be a successful fight where the boxers and the promoters will make money, but not the money that every boxer desired as the pot is very small and Casimero has no choice but to take it since it's a mandatory fight.
2767  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's new All Time High (ATH) has been reached this year again (X2) on: October 31, 2021, 09:49:05 PM
Bitcoin is the only true store of value imho.

Its first mover advantage in the cryptospace is immense. People are recognising this now and putting money into bitcoin as a safe haven asset when they have made gains in other cryptos.

Definitely watch bitcoin dominance, as I think there is tremendous upside for that index even now.

Bitcoin's dominance is still within range, just like in the last bull run in 2017.

And I do agree, it's a prime mover so no doubt that everyone is on it since the beginning and I'm sure there still a lot of long term bagholders in this community.

And it is far more evident now that it become a safe haven and then become a hedge for companies in their balance sheet.

But we never know when the bull run will be over, just ensure a profit and you'll not worry going forward.

The previous bull run that was achieved in the year 2017 was around $20k, now we are trading at $60k that's after almost 4 years of a bearish market, so let's enjoy this moment as when the bearish market will come again, it might be long and that we have to wait for a new bull run to come again.

Can someone here make a good point on the next coming games ? I have no feeling this weekend and I've already lost tickets in a row in NBA so lets see how you guys are doing lately and provide some tips here. I told myself last night that I should place a bet on Spurs to win but of course I did not do it...
Just follow what you think is correct, you can only win if it's coming from you as that would make you more confident going forward. Try to do more research to win, and always follow your instinct because as you said, you could have won if you place your bet on the Spurs. I post one game per day, maybe try to consider it as I'm on a 3 winning streak.

What is the time for the fight itself of Canelo versus Plant? Would it be the same time slot again similar to one of Canelo’s fights and Nate Diaz versus Jorge Masvidal where the organizers let Canelo wait for the UFC to finish before starting his own fight?

Here's the information regarding the fight.

The ex-Lakers are doing pretty well with their new team. Kuzma and Harelll are great and I think we will see their true potential that they were not able to show in their previous team, also let us not forget Dinwiddie who is good in any team he will play, this team has the potential to compete in the playoffs.

That was 3 Lakers players were traded for Westbrook.

Their stats have really improved, especially for Kuzma and Harell.
you can see the improvement here.

Kyle Kuzma
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Montrezl Harrell

Montrezl Harrell having the best season of his career so far with 19.3 ppg average.
2771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 31, 2021, 12:09:40 PM
@Stadus pick hit this time around again with the Chicago Bulls against Utah Jazz,
My instinct was right again,  I will keep following it.  Smiley


Here's my early pick again.

Game : Bucks vs Jazz.

Both teams are into a back to back game, they also lose their previous games but I'll go with the team that struggles less.

I like the Jazz here because so far the Bucks are very inconsistent, losing against the Spurs lose my confidence  on this team, and as long as Lopez is out, I think the Jazz bigs will be able to use that as an advantage.

Therefore my pick is Jazz -1.5
2772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 30, 2021, 09:45:43 PM

This isn't the biggest fight of Donaire, so I don't expect a lot of fans to come and see the fight. Filipino boxers fighting each other, mostly the fans are Filipinos only, so it's just a small crowd IMO. However, if Donaire wins this fight and there will be a rematch against Inoue, then for sure people will be excited to watch and PPV will generate more revenue.

That rematch is surely gain interest from the fans, or also, a possibility that if Casimero will dominates his own mandatory fight,

they can also take this one and settle the date of a potential deal between this two pinoy champs who are making their name up from this sport, whoever wins will take Inoue's attention and a possible deal from the Monster camp. Roll Eyes

For now, fans will not be that huge. Donaire is no longer in his prime in where fans all over the world are also eyeing with him, unlike with Pacquiao, who really magnetizes the attention of the crowd.

Though it was a loss, and Manny already hung his gloves. Hopefully that won't be the case for Donaire, not yet. Wink

That's another great idea too, Casimero vs Donaire first then the winner will take Inoue, that way Inoue will face the best Filipino fighter.

If Donaire wins against Casimero, IMO that's not too exciting since Inoue already beat Donaire, however, if it's Casimero then probably it will gain the fans' attention as Casimero trash-talked Inoue a lot and they want to see if Inoue can really handle Casimero and proved to be the best in the bantam weight division.
2773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 30, 2021, 08:57:55 PM
It's okay, there's still a month for the announcement once everything they have to set has been already set. With all of the news and rumors about the possible date.
Then that would be by December and there's still enough time for them to market the match and for sure that it will be easier for them. Because there are a lot of fans that are waiting to watch some good boxing matches and this match of Nonito is included and worth the wait.
Not enough time if they'll fight in December, I mean how about the advertising of the fight? They will have to train for the fight, and that would likely require them for over a month to be very fit, so there's a little time left as in the next 2 days, it will already be November.
There's still the month of November for the whole advertising for their match if it will happen by December. I think they have it all set and they can do all of it within a month.
There's still ample time for them to manage the advertisement if it's needed to happen. As for the training, I'm sure that they're already training themselves upon happening to know that they'll have a match.
When it comes to marketing their fight then i dont see any more action would be needed just for them to market out their upcoming fight because fans or boxing enthusiast will just simply watch out this fight on the schedule given but although i do agree on adding up some spice if they do really want up to maximize potential revenue.
We cant really make out any conclusions though because we cant really tell on whats the level of interest for the public to show off with this upcoming fight.
Yes, one of them is popular but turns out that people are still eyeing on possible fights that Inoue will really be having on.

This isn't the biggest fight of Donaire, so I don't expect a lot of fans to come and see the fight. Filipino boxers fighting each other, mostly the fans are Filipinos only, so it's just a small crowd IMO. However, if Donaire wins this fight and there will be a rematch against Inoue, then for sure people will be excited to watch and PPV will generate more revenue.

Many banks start offering crypto services to their clients as they see that it is one more way how they can benefit, so it is wise for banks not to fight against crypto, but try to get used to it and start offering their clients services connected with crypto. I believe that crypto will be more and more widely-used. Different companies will use it as the way to accept payment.

Banks would never fight crypto, they'll always find a way to accept bitcoin as it will benefit them, and since banks are regulated by the government, they are still just relying on the rules and regulations the government will impose, if the government is allowing it, then no way the banks will not adopt with it because it's one of the ways to improve their profitability.

Therefore my pick is HEAT -5

Got it again, and that's my 2nd straight win after my win streak was broken.

So here's my early pick.

Game : Jazz vs Bulls.

This matchup is probably the most entertaining on the upcoming schedule on the same day.

Therefore, I will start choosing now. Jazz is still perfect so far but Bulls are playing good basketball as well, so I'll go with the home team and I believe if Bulls will lose, at least they'll cover the handicap which is +3.5, so good luck again.

I think the Jazz will roll in this one and might even tease the score up.  I do like the bulls in covering bets a lot this year, but I think this is the jazz's year.  I normally don't like taking away teams when they are the favorite but this game I like.

Well, I understand your point, Jazz are currently the hottest team as they have not lost a game yet, but as I always said, I am going with my instinct and I have a feeling that this will be a close game where Bulls could win outright or lose but will cover the spread.
2776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Jonas Sultan vs Carlos Caraballo - October 30, 2021 on: October 30, 2021, 01:40:48 PM
I'm hoping for an upset in tomorrow's fight, this would be Caraballo's acid test thus far and Filipino fighters are dangerous in this kind of situation.



Sportsbet has bigger odds than other bookies I just checked, but regardless 4+ or 5.00 is still good enough if an upset happens tomorrow. Good luck on your bet man, we are on the same side, I just love underdogs especially if a fighter has a blood of a true warrior.

Utah Jazz are the only 4-0 in the current season will they be able to climb to the top and manage to get to the NBA playoffs again or the GSW will regain their spot after a long hibernation?

It's not a question for me and also for others here. With Utah Jazz's current roster, a playoffs spot has a high chance. The same goes for the Golden State Warriors now that it's not just Steph Curry who is making some good performance for their team. There are also speculations that Klay Thompson will come back as early as before the NBA All-Star next year. Klay and Curry's tandem doesn't need any explanation why they are called one of the best backcourt duo on the floor. If the duo will come back, the Western Conference will be more tight again as Warriors will now back again competing for the playoffs spot. Let's not think of that at the moment as it's too early.

We don't talk anymore if the Jazz will reach the playoffs as they obviously can be in the playoffs. The question is, can they win a championship because they lose against the Clippers last playoffs even though Leonard was out. I'm sure they acknowledge their mistake, their defense was weak and they have to improve that, so getting another big man did really help for them so they can also be confident while giving Gobert some breathing time.
2779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 29, 2021, 09:40:16 PM
Betting on the last game tonight

GSW is still perfect as of now but I like the Memphis to play harder here to give them their first lose.
They came form a blowout loss against the Blazers but I would close my eyes on that one and still believe they'll bounce back for a win.

My pick : Memphis + and ML.
btw, my streak is over.

Looks like Memphis has a problem here.


Looks like they have a problem but they don't have a problem because they won.

I'm lucky my bets both win.



Game : Heat vs Charlotte.

I know Charlotte is hot but it's time to bet against them now.
Miami Heat are playing very well at home, so I expect them to win by double digit against the Charlotte.

The last 2 games at home.  

Won by 17 points against Magic and 42 points against the defending champion.

Therefore my pick is HEAT -5
2780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Reason for bitcon flash drop. on: October 29, 2021, 02:15:19 AM
According to this article Bitcoin price plunge wipes hundreds of billions from global cryptocurrency markets
, the dropped was may cause by long term investors trying to cash out for profit, but one thing that coincides with the timing is the Direxion Bitcoin Strategy Bear ETF which is betting against the success of bitcon.

Here's the exact text from the article.

Quote
What caused the drop in Bitcoin price?

The crash is partly driven by long-term holders selling at a high to take home profits, according to blockchain data. That’s typical following a price spike.

But it also coincided with financial company Direxion filing for a new bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) that would bet against the future price of the crypto.

It will be called the Direxion Bitcoin Strategy Bear ETF, according to its filing with America’s Securities and Exchange Commission
.

Is this a hindrance to the success of bitcoin in the future?

How and why?
