The last news or at least rumors is the Simmons-Harden trade but I hope this will not happen or it will be a disaster for the Nets or at least for both teams.
I like that, Nets don't need 3 scores, Durand and Irving is already enough, it's already like Lebron and Irving back when they are still with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Simons is just like the Dennis Rodman of the Bulls, he just need to be more aggressive and play harder so he can create his own brand.
As far as I know, Steve Nash put down that rumor, but who wouldn't know? Did James Harden requested to be traded or something and tells it to the media? I know that they are losing because of the injury from Durant but I doubt that it will be just the reason to ask for a trade right now. He himself is also injured with his hamstring. But we will have to wait, the trade deadline is just hours from now.

Wow, seems like you did the right decision, you already won the Suns bet and the Bucks seem to be winning this game too. Already in the 3rd quarter and the bucks have a comfortable lead with 33 points 99-66 is the current score. Easy win mate!
Thank you. Finally, the perfect bet.

The Lakers scared me there for a while when they made a 23-8 run against the Bucks. But they put in Lebron while Johnson was playing great doing all the damage. They should've just let him play and substitute THT instead. Giannis made his 5th foul thanks to him and could've made him fouled out if ever he keeps on attacking the paint. Bad decision by Coach Vogel.
Anyway, cheers to all the winners.
I was surprised of the final lead, although I have a bet of +18.5 for the Lakers during the halftime break. And in the 3rd quarter, the Bucks continued their hot shooting streak and the lead balloon to almost 30 points at one time. And I thought that I have lost my bet already.

So they made a run to cut the lead to 15? That's good and I will take that W at 2.09.

^^ The timing of the news though, but it's hard to say if this is bullish or bearish, we will have to see in the next 24 hours.

In any case, it's good to see that those involved in the hack is caught and probably going back to jail to rot. I mean the two of them might be living lavishly with other peoples money. Hopefully they will spill where the rest of the bitcoin is.
2784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: February 08, 2022, 01:39:52 PM

Even if triple G almost retire in his boxing career I think he have still a chance to win this match against Murata and we all know that Triple G is a good boxer like manny pacman he want to fight again and again to prove to Us that Triple G has not changed. But before this fight happen I think we will wait the farther notice from the committee cause this omicron is the reason why this fight is re schedule

Yeah and that's for sure of course, I mean I would not doubt that GGG could still stand in a long fight despite that he almost retire in his boxing career and that's doesn't mean that he doesn't have the edge to win this fight. Actually, I am also one of the boxing fans who are rooting for triple G triumph on this fight. I believe there is still no solid schedule for this fight and like what we all do here guys I am also waiting for this game and could finally put my bet on this fight.

He has the edge here, he can still box and fight despite his age. The question is on Murata and how he will perform in front of his crowd. If he can give GGG a good fight then good for us boxing fans, but I still not seeing him winning over GGG. And at 160 lbs GGG is almost unbeatable, of course except Canelo. And hopefully before GGG retires, we can see the 3rd fight, to settle things and there is no 'what if' upon his retirement.

It will only be settled if the right will not end up with controversy again, so I think it's not gonna happen anymore as Canelo is also not sure if he can beat GGG as he tried twice already but he can't put the man down. Both will fight their own fights, and if they keep winning, that's enough for them to consider as one of the best fighters in their generation.
Or he can't make the 160 lbs limit, which is GGG weight class, unless they settle in a catch weight. But yeah, this is the biggest what if's in boxing in recent memories, the score is not settled with 1 draw and 1 win by Canelo (although there is argument that GGG won the first fight). So we may have missed on of the greatest trilogy story in bxoing in this generation.
2785  Economy / Speculation / Re: Prediction: Low was $34K or will be ~$25K on: February 08, 2022, 08:50:03 AM
there is a increase happened since yesterday ..

But do we really believe that we are heading to another Hype? don't fool yourself lol .

I still believe that we are heading to that 25k low, I am not FUD here guys but i just wanted to be true for all reason .

This could be a dead cat bounce, because stocks investors are moving to bitcoin right now. And if any time they chooses to move back to stock market, then the price will go down again. But we just enjoy this increase in the last 4 days if I'm not mistaken, this is a great week for us and hopefully at least a $50k price is not that bad this month.
And it continues to go up to $45k today, although it went down, maybe because this is the next resistance level. I'm bearish, this year, but this is a good sign that we can still go $50k'ish for the time being and not go ~$25k. This is still February, a lot of leg room to work, if we go $50k again, I might have a change of heart and become bullish short term.
2786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Martinez - Feb 19, 2022 on: February 08, 2022, 08:07:12 AM
I can't wait for this fight to take place, it will be so interesting  because the two fighter seems tough to me , I can't really tell who the winner of this fight will be. Ancajas is great fighter but am not sure he can defeat  Martinz  easily.

It's no guarantee that this fight will be an easy fight for both of them because they are really strong despite their height but I'm rooting for Jerwin Ancajas because he really has some good skills to defeat his opponent though he's not that famous, I'm sure this is one step for him to become popular in the USA. Ancajas's loss was only to his fellow countrymen which were 10 years ago, I'm sure he already gt through of that and the result is satisfying so far since he's winning every fight after that.

Yes, this is no easy fight specially for Ancajas as he wants to prove that he is one of the best in this division. Same with Martinez, this is his break out fight so for sure he will come up smoking as well. But as you have said, we want Ancajas to win and to win big, like a knock out or something so that he can make a name for himself as Filipinos are into some kind of momentum specially in the lower division.
We are going to support Jerwin no matter what, I think he is one of the most underrated Filipino fighters and I'm seeing him having a good run at this weight division. He will go in the body in this fight and will test how strong Martinez is. If he sense that he is about to go down then go head hunting and look for a knock out in the latter rounds.

They're definitely the hottest team in the NBA right now.  I'm not sure they'll be able to beat a healthy Lakers or Warriors team in the playoffs, but they'll definitely be sticking around to find out.  Booker is finally starting to be noticed for being one of the better players in the league, although not being an all star starter while on the hottest team in the NBA is considered to some as a snub.  Great win tonight though against one of the other hottest teams in the league.  I don't think it was as close as the score would lead you to believe, but a win is a win no matter how you come upon it.  Smiley
And you also have to look at how Chris Paul is doing at this stage of his career, we all remember the Lob city with DJ and Blake, but where are they now speaking of their athletic ability? they are a specimen during their Clippers days but now they are just a shade of themselves. But Paul is string very strong and performing much better I would say. Booker had a good shooting night, I wanted him to get 40 points but he misses a close floater, nevertheless 38 points and as you have said, a win is a win.
2788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's wrong with Privacy Coin? on: February 07, 2022, 11:24:14 PM
Privacy coin has not a very high demand recently, so people are avoid to buy it.
Maybe because privacy coins are old and outdated while more innovative coins exist.
I think that's the keyword, there is no demand for privacy coins. Primarily because people are not concern about their privacy simply as that. They want fast moving and easy money grab.

Privacy coins were famous a few years ago, when dar knet money needed to be secured. Today, dark net is irrelevant and privacy coins have lost fame.
Yes, when the concept is very new, investors tends to flock on them. But when the market is saturated it become evident that they are no longer interested and it's hard to trade and there is no money to be made because that is not the purpose of privacy coins in the first place.
2789  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin in Rocket mood. on: February 07, 2022, 10:39:14 PM
Do you think that this skyrocket has something to do with Facebook's(Meta) massive drop? It could be the whales from there that have taken their share moved some of their wealth into bitcoin. I'm only thinking that it's one of the reasons on what we're seeing right now and it's my just mere opinion about the recent pump. It's likely that it will eventually hit back $41k.
I do not think this is connected to Facebook stock massive drop, I do not see how both price can even be related, this is just another bull run for bitcoin before the price may decrease again, I just know that this year will not really be so encouraging about bitcoin price, but I may be wrong.
That's just the idea that came to my mind and it's about the likely of the investors from FB(meta) stock that have sold and then reinvested it into bitcoin.
But yeah, let's settle that and forget about the connection. Because every time there's a drop or rise for bitcoin, there's also some significant move for the stock market.
Yes, this is the most logical reason why the price suddenly skyrocketed, the shift from FB stock to bitcoin market. And this is not just ordinary investors, this are whales, very deep pocket that can put millions upon millions of funds.
That's why the price suddenly went to $44k today. And I wouldn't be surprised if this goes up to $45k then the next barrier of $48k-$50k. So we can say that there is indeed some correlation between stock market and crypto market.
2790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 07, 2022, 02:01:32 PM
Brooklyn Nets got their eighth consecutive loss last night. They played an away game against Denver Nuggets. James Harden wasn't able to play in this one too which was also a reason for the loss. But even while he was playing, they were still losing too. Something interesting is going on with this team and they are still not able to solve this problem. They are out of the top 6 now and this is very alarming for them. If they don't find a way out, they can find themselves out of the playoff area completely before the end of the regular season.
Before the start of the season, many are predicting already (including me) that the 2 teams that will face coming into the NBA Finals will be the Lakers and the Nets.
Now the Lakers are below 500 and currently at the 9th position and the Nets are in a 8 game losing streak, currently in the 7th place and only 1.5 games above the 9th spot Hornets.

Right now the Nets are in a big trouble. I think one problem of the team is their inside defense because most of the time they are playing small ball and it doesn't work for them like in this game. They gave up 64 pts in the paint against only 32 for them. I think this is one of their problem. They don't have good defenders inside the paint that can stop those bigs in the opposing team. Durant might sit up for a bit longer and TBH, it will be hard for them to go up again.

Well, it maybe hard for them to be in the top again but they will certainly make it to the playoffs, and once Durant is healthy again, they will still be a dangerous team even if they will not have the home court advantage. Durant work hard for the team to be in the number 1, but his injury made the team suffer again, however, Harden and Irving should not make it as an excuse, instead, they'll have to work harder to stop the bleeding and start winning again.
True, it was so unfortunate that Durant is down again with injuries, they have the momentum early, even landing the top seed in the East. But with the injuries and recent streak, then are now down.

As far as Harden goes, he is also down with a hamstring injury, similar to what he had during last years playoffs against the Bucks. Irving can't do it alone, although there is Patty Mills, they are really undermanned at this point.
2791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Amir Khan vs Kell Brook - Feb 19, 2022 on: February 07, 2022, 01:12:07 PM

Prime for prime I would say that Khan has a slim advantage as far as power goes. However, Brook has some as well and is willing to trade. But since this is a retirement fight for both, I don't see Khan power no more. He can get to Brook but Brook has more chin than him. It's the question on what will happen to Khan if Brook will hit him flush in the face, chances are, he might go down.

After that exposed Khan needs to work more with his good defense, Brook's will try to penetrate and knock him down by hitting his chin. It's a must find a way to avoid and to make sure to throw good counter to avoid that knock out punches to hit him. I would like to see aggressiveness from Brook, though. If he will start strong and try to corner Khan, still anyone's fight here we don't know if what would happen till we seen them both inside the ring.. Tongue Roll Eyes

His glass chin can be easily cover if he always put his gloves up to cover it. Since it's known weakness, He can use it to bait brook to go for it and land a solid counter since he has the power to do it. It's easy to say for us that brook can easily penetrate his defense and aim for his weakness but Khan power might make brook hesitate to go deeper inside just to reach because he be knock out too once Khan landed a series of pretty blow combination while he is busy reaching Khan chin. This fight will gonna a blow by blow fight since both fighter is very aggressive.
Yeah, but he can't cover it all night because he needs to throw some punch and that's what his opponent usually does, timing his move and then they deliver a blow to his chin. And most of the time Khan really try to go and fight toe to toe and that's why he is caught most often, just like in his fight lost and his devastating knock out against Canelo Alvarez. Also against Marcos Maidana (watch that fight in youtube), but he survived that fight and won in the score card.
2792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: February 07, 2022, 12:28:24 PM

It is reported that Keith Thurman will be out of any boxing-related event for 22 months to heal his injury. He will again at hiatus instead of fighting again in the next 3-4 months. That will contribute to his inactivity on the boxing ring.

He will probably be at age 34-35 on his next fight. Age is a factor for a boxer that is not active.

Congratulations on his win but I agree, he will surely have a tough time if he will face the top-tier boxers in his division.

Can you share the source of that report? I'm looking for the said report but could not find it. If Thurman will rest again, I guess the injury is really serious and I'm sure his future opponent already marks that spot of his body so they can beat him by his weakness.

No, there is no serious injury in Thurman after his fight against Barrios. He has handled his body as well as his opponent well. He's got a good start which gave him the advantage for the rest of the fight.

I think harizen is mistaken. He must be reading an old news. That 22-month hiatus was what happened to Thurman after beating Danny Garcia for the WBC welterweight title. Thurman had an elbow surgery after that. The fight was in 2017. His next fight happened in 2019, two years later.
Yep, as far as I can remember that injury was back and it was after the Danny Garcia fight. Although he had a hand injury after the Manny Pacquiao fight. But there was no reports of a injury after the Barrios fight.

And as expected by the majority here, Thurman won by UD as Barrios has no answer and just like won 2-3 rounds on the judges score card and it was a lopsided win by Keith.
2793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: KNC is around the breakout area on: February 05, 2022, 03:32:58 AM
To be honest i am not familiar with that KNC and for me seems not popular . But still i want to suggest that you should wait for more results mate if you already see it breaking the resistance because on this situation most results were false break outs. So be aware and use different time frames as well to obtain more information about the potential of that token.

KNC was really popular back in 2017-2018 when it seemed to be one of the best DEX at the time but things have changed a lot now and they've done very little to keep up with the pace at which crypto and the DeFi space has grown and that has become a problem. It might go uo based on TA or some FA but it doesn't change the fact that there are better alternatives that can do a lot better.
I may have used it once in 2018 if I'm not mistaken, and I never invested on it as there as so many competition back then and until now that it didn't garner much attention as compare to others. It's been up by 3% in the last 24 hours, not the bullish scenario that we wanted to see, but at least it's going green in the last couple of days. I'm not sure what kind of bullish movement the OP is hoping though, maybe breaking into another ATH, but we will have to wait and see.
2794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 05, 2022, 02:37:53 AM
1 week left until trade deadline.  Clippers just scooped up Norman Powell great move on their end.  Once kawhi and PG are back Norman will provide a good scoring punch.  And sadly I think the Knicks need to break up the team.  Get what they can for some of the vets.  Give the young guys some run and try to hit the draft and free agency hard over the next couple years.  Lost season...
I think it was a total letdown from Julius Randle, I mean this guy is putting MVP numbers like year and brought them to the playoffs but eventually lost to the Hawks. But now things are very different, Julius is not as assertive as last season and there is no fire in him even playing at home court. There was no injuries or something on his end to be like this, so I'm not sure what is going on in the locker room. No jive whatsoever unlike last year.
2795  Economy / Speculation / Re: Prediction: Low was $34K or will be ~$25K on: February 05, 2022, 02:23:09 AM
Your point is correct, so I think the bottom is 34K$. Indeed, we have seen a bounce from that point almost or a little less, but in any case, Bitcoin rose a little, but this is not necessarily an indication of an upward trend. We may see a drop again for Bitcoin and it may be bigger than the first time. I think that the first week of February is important for Bitcoin, if it manages to break the 40K threshold, we may see a rise again to the 50K area, and the opposite of that is the drop is expected.
Today we saw an important recovery in the market and at least for now it seems that 34k is going to be the bottom, however something to take notice is that the bottom was very close to the average price that some of the biggest institutional investors have paid for their coins, and I do not think this is something that happened by chance, 25k is a price too low to actually see as those institutional investors will begin to defend the price of bitcoin way before we actually get to see that price.
To be honest, I never looked at the price in the last 24 hours. But I do exchange some of bitcoin to fiat because I needed them, so I just go ahead and see that it's weird that the equivalent fiat is higher. But today, I checked the price and it's above $40k. So everything is good at this point, recovery is on the way. Although I'm bearish for this year, I would say this might change things around again.
2796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 05, 2022, 01:52:38 AM
Yes, it's all been set and that's final since there's no other news about the rescheduling. I've just said about the fans thing in the new venue because there were some comments that tells how the fans are there.
But needless to say, it's all set and we just have to wait until that day comes and let's just all hope for the best not only for the match but also for the live crowd to enjoy it.
It is scheduled in April, so there you go, we have a date already. As for the crowd, I guess it's just normal for any boxers to be booed or fight in a environment wherein the fans are against them. Nevertheless, Casimero have seen worst, Lol. And not just him but there are a lot of Filipino boxers as well who love to fight their opponents on their own turf. I'm sure everyone is exciting already for this fight and to see Casimero again in the ring.
Exactly, there goes the set for the fight. As what I've read about the crowd, it's not just about being booed or cheering down the away fighter.
Yeah, I've forgotten that Casimero has been into this whole thing for his life and it won't matter to him anymore if there goes the fans that would subject him after the fight.
Right, regardless of the venue, Casimero has one thing in mind, to keep his title so that he will keep his hopes of good paycheck against the monster in the future. So still needs to train and focus first against Butler, and not to take into account the crowd itself. And knowing Filipinos, maybe there could be a minority crowd in UK to watch him fight, although it will be a big risk for them because they will be out numbered by the UK crowd and there could also be some heated arguments outside after the fight specially if John Riel win in a spectacular knock out.

Yes, that's true, someone also pointed that out that the license is different.

Perhaps the OP's hutch is because of their names are very similar, but most unlikely they are operated by the same group of entities. I mean it doesn't make sense to have bookies operation by one group competing against each other.
I also have the same feeling before, but I didn't bother to check. Roobet started first if I'm not mistaken and the Rollbit comes along. Both have established themselves, so I don't see anything wrong with that. Besides it's a win win for us crypto bettors, at least we have more options right now to play.

The LA Clippers - LA Lakers game last night was really amazing. We watched a great competition between these teams. Lakers' last quarter performance was really spectacular but they still lost by only one point (111-110). Lebron wasn't able to play in this game again but Davis - Monk - Westbrook trio still did really well. But unfortunately it was not enough for a victory. I really enjoyed the game and I appreciated Clippers' performance too. They are still playing really nice despite lacking P. George and K. Leonard.
17 points was the highest lead by the Clippers and Lakers managed to cut that and even got close to winning the game. Lakers did great despite all the critics bombarding them with different bad opinions.
Something good always happens whenever they keep on attacking the paint. Clippers was confused whenever Westbrook attacks and it loosens the defense on all the outside shooters, that's when they should use the 3 point shot but WB should be good at decision making when his doing the penetration. I hope they realized that by now. They can win games, use the skills where they are good at which is being close to the rim.
I thought that the Lakers are going to snatch this one, I want them to win because they are the underdog in this game. And it was a dog fight in the 4th quarter and no one want's to give an edge, unfortunately, Davis attempt was a miss as this could win it for them. Hopefully when everyone is healthy specially Lebron James, then can go back and win games again and avoid the elimination games for the playoff spot.

What's with that ticker? Is that to look unique in the public? It won't work, make it as simple as possible if you want buyers.
Probably there will be some who will fall for this trick. Beginners who think that this is the real deal because of the name (I will agree it's catchy, lol.)

Regardless, with so many project using the name of Elon just to gain a better publicity, this will just be another one that will shrug the shoulders of investors.
Being unique is not found in names or tickers only but also with how much difference compared to the increasing number of altcoins.
Again, there investors specially noobs are naive and blatantly trust a project like this. But for the majority of us, for sure, we are not going to fall for it because this kind of meme coins are money grabbing, there is no real use case, except to scam people out of their hard earn money.
2800  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why the bitcoin market has been dumping so much for months on: February 03, 2022, 12:17:35 PM
In my opinion, the reason for the recent drop in bitcoin prices is due to the outbreak of the Omicron type of Covid-19 variant and also the Fed has started to tapering so that investors have started releasing their assets. In addition, the decline in the price of bitcoin was also caused by a massive sell-off of traders.
Or perhaps we really reach the peak already last November, and then everyone is hoping for a massive run to $100k that didn't happen, so small traders started to sell-off. But I do believed that the massive sell came from some big entities first followed by retail investors. And then we have the Omicron variant that took the world by storm again.
