TNT Katropa makes Magnolia a practice session lol. All 4 winning games by them are all outscoring Magnolia.  To be honest, TNT vs SMB is more of a Finals compared to that series. That TNT lineup will be their lineup for long.

What can you say about the Finals guys? For me, there's no tight competition at all. It's ok to lose but not a sure win right away for the other team.

Yup, the TNT vs SMB series is the more competitive series than the Finals maybe it's of injuries to Sangalang, Magnolia's main man in the middle. With him struggling, Magnolia doesn't stand a chance against the more athletic TNT in a series.

Let us also give credit to coach Chot Reyes for his brilliance in guiding the Katropa in their first championship in six years. Now we can conclude that coaching is one of the many reasons why they have failed to capture a crown for so long.

Congrats TNT, at least it's another face that we are seeing right now who held that championship trophy.

Soon if Jason Castro will retire, TNT will not have to worry as they have Mikey Williams to replace him.

This young superstar has impressed everyone as he won the finals MVP being a rookie, in fact, he played well in the series, he played like an import.
AFAIK, only Chris Ross can limit him, so it will be SMB vs TNT in the finals next conference, I think that's a good match-up as long as Fajardo will be 100% healthy next conference.

Exactly, Williams will be able to provide the offense necessary but at the same time, he also has to improve his passing skills. Jason Castro is a legit point guard, he doesn't need to score a lot but to make his team better by moving the ball very well, and that's what we saw in the series.

I'm sure Williams will have a lot to learn from Castro and hopefully when Castro retires, Williams will become a complete player.

The best strategy that can save you in a bearish situation is to do capital management. save some capital for bearish conditions that are beyond prediction, so you can buy back at the lowest price. this will provide profit and save our capital on the first entry.
choose altcoins with prices that have experienced a lot of decline and with large volumes that have the potential to return to normal prices quickly. Don't panic too much when the price starts to bearish, it's an opportunity to buy and double profits.
If you are making profits from the bullish trend, then save a huge amount of funds for the next trend in the market. It will be a bearish season for sure since this cycle just keeps repeating in the market. If you can provide a good capital, prioritize on buying bitcoin and then consider buying top 10 altcoins in the market and just hold them as much as you want. There's no really much activities when bearish season attacks so all you have to do is just buying and holding your coins until you see they are slowly recovering from the dump. At least even while you are sitting at home, you have incoming profits to look forward to in the near future.
2823  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 29, 2021, 02:58:45 AM
Donaire, who turns 39 on November 16, and I don't think he's too old and he has a lot of experience in boxing which I think will be fine with his age and he will retain his WBC bantamweight championship mandate against Reymart Gaballo later.
Old but not too old.
Take that old from the discussion as he still has the power, yes Gaballo is young but Donaire can certainly beat the young fighter as the latter does not have the skills that would give Donaire a problem.

although Reymart Gaballo is younger than Donaire and also unbeaten but does not guarantee victory for him, many boxers who are not young anymore but still play well and win than the younger ones because experience will mean more than anything.
No one can guarantee a win even a champion, that's why they continue to train hard and study their opponet. Donaire may be have an impressive win on his last fight but we might not gonna see it in this game because the outcome is unpredictable.
2824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 29, 2021, 02:35:44 AM
The Spurs vs. Mavs match looks interesting. The Spurs lead by only 2 points after the first half, although they even led by 20 points in the first quarter. It's worth noting that the Mavs had a disgusting performance at the beginning of this match, considering that they made only 1 out of 11 in the first half of the first quarter.



Mavericks easily erase that deficit, we are in the 4th quarter now and the Mavericks already had a lead of 8 points, so they'll likely win this game.

I'm wondering also what's the odds for the Mavericks that time if we took in a live bet?
2825  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think October will be for alts? on: October 28, 2021, 09:33:47 PM
As of today Bitcoin is correcting around six percent where it touches the closest support point, I hope Bitcoin will bounce up soon on this week, or we will face a correction to the support point below it. I think Bitcoin's correction this time gives Alts a chance to grow stronger, we'll see.
Ethereum is still increasing in its price even for some altcoins too. Hopefully this correction will give opportunity to most of the altcoins to create more significant pumps so that when bitcoin regain its value that i'm sure it will, both will be bullish by that time. And as october will nearly end soon, i think by the start of november, bitcoin will rise up again and is now set to reach another heights again. Price correction is a good opportunity to come up with a new ATH after that certain coin starts to recover.
2826  Economy / Economics / Re: Really, why bitcoin has this value? on: October 27, 2021, 09:56:34 PM
It is undeniable that the price of bitcoin is determined by supply and demand and its popularity is proof that new users continue to grow which makes demand continue to increase which makes bitcoin prices continue to rise and is also very valuable.
and I think bitcoin will be more valuable in the future because everyone is aware that bitcoin prices are easy to predict because they see developments that continue to grow and increase from time to time which will increase bitcoin prices due to demand, and bitcoin volatility can be easily understood from time to time.
Bitcoin has this increasing high value because most of the people are already going into bitcoin investment now compared to fiat since there is more profits awaits in crypto or bitcoin. And as its recognition never stops so its demand keeps growing too which means the higher the demand, the bigger value bitcoin becomes. And not to mention its nature as being highly volatile, so there will be more chances that bitcoin price will vary from time to time. There are times that bitcoin could go up so much and in the next day, it dumps so deep.

Another great game from the Golden State Warriors, but it was really a close game from 1st quarter until the 3rd quarter until the Golden State has fired upon the 4th quarter, in my opinion, it is a close match between the Golden State and the Sacramento Kings, Stephen Curry ending the game with a 27 pts, and 10 assists, what a play, and Jordan Poole with a 22 pts, and 3 assists, that close the game with a 107 - 119 Sacramento Kings home-court advantage, and well, even though the Kings was defeated I think they still play a great game, Harrison Barnes with 24 pts, Davion Mitchell with 22, it is still a great game to watch, and the next game for the Golden State Warriors, will be Oklahoma City Thunders that they surely can't underestimate.

Just like the Warriors game against the Clippers when they are down in the 4th quarter, they were still able to manage and come back. Curry is still good in leading this team, I'm happy seeing them healthy and having a good start in the season, I was not expecting this and if this continues, they'll surely gonna make it to the top 4 in the West.

Their next game is against the OKC Thunder, this is another easy win for sure, the line is out already and GSW is -9, maybe high but if they would dominate, they'll cover it without a problem.
2828  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think TVK coin is the right investment? on: October 25, 2021, 07:06:37 PM
hello friends;

I made some investment in TVK today. I did some research, but I'm still a little confused. I wanted to get your opinion. What levels do you think this crypto will see in the short term or long term?
I havent touched nor get awared about TVK investment but i would say that you are the only one who could really answer out that question because you are the ones who do make out some
research towards your investment and not other people thats why its a little big non sense in case to that.Its your money then you do have the full control and decision
whether on which project you would really be investing on.Important thing here is that you do know on what you are doing, you should be careful on what actions
you would make.
I guess what makes it more interesting here in the forum is that when someone ask your honest opinion in a thing you are still uncertain of, then you should also start making your own research so you can also give OP a satisfied answer.

Honestly, I'm not into familiar with this TVK coin but as soon as i did my research, i found out that this coin is something to look forward to. It has already been listed in Binance and seems its price will grow more when its demand will start to increase too. I suggest to just invest only a small amount first since you are still not sure of this if this will be for long term or for short term only. Just trust yourself, as long as you know what you are doing, then you will never be in a huge loss.
2829  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Regulations for crypto currencies on: October 25, 2021, 06:16:27 PM
Actually many countries is regulating cryptocurrencies on their own point of view and even introducing their own coin, so i know vividly that since the existence of cryptocurrency and it's adoption is not all the countries across the world usually transact with bitcoin as exchange, so therefore i denote that not many of them like decentralized currency, they only look forward for anything centralized which is affecting some them of today, actually if an every country regulates and adopt the uses of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, it will not have it's potential values again, so is better we further ahead with it like that.

From my perspective, some countries regulates crypto right now, but they are not full recommend or legalize it to the people, and with  the same vein, restrictions are also implemented, so what is the need of regulations since the users is still living in fear because of government authority towards crypto. I think best option is to run your crypto stuff's in silent without anyone awareness.


Bitcoin has even become more complicated as the years go by because of the interruption of negative criticisms coming from the government. As long as they are just one sided, then the government will not be good for crypto as for now. They are making regulations for crypto and at the same time strict restrictions for crypto. So how do we expect people will react on it?

But since crypto aims for massive adoption, then it will not be fully legalized if its not being regulated in the first place. Regulations will make crypto more legal so that people will not hesitate to invest in it or use it as a currency knowing it is fully backed by the government. Because it is the government that control its citizens and if citizens will see to it that crypto is already approved by the government, eventually people will flock to crypto once they find it more interesting than fiat.
2830  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to understand the market in advance on: October 25, 2021, 01:14:43 PM
Hi guys I’m new to the forum and I’m new to the crypto world.
I would like to know if there is some method on how to understand when the market is going to dip or when the market is going to pump.
Thank you in advance to all of you
I think there is no way to know the exact direction of the market, we can only predict. By using charts and analytical techniques to make short-term market predictions. This requires you to learn about analysis, you are a newbie, need to learn and understand crypto well before trading. However, that prediction is not always correct, need to be very careful before each decision
That's right, trading or investing is just a prediction game, there's a risk but you can win if you are well versed and you have enough experience to be a trader. This is a game that when somebody wins, somebody will lose money,  it's a battle of traders because of the market volatility, so even if how smart you are, you can never be right all the time, but you can be right most of the time and that will make you profitable.
2831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 25, 2021, 12:51:59 PM

A short update regarding the no-contact foul controversy. The referee that whistled the call is already dismissed and will not officiate with the future games anymore and Commissioner already said that they are investigating the incident. Its clearly a wrong call we know that. Smiley

That's good news, at least PBA is doing something to discipline those referees who are making a questionable call, that's the way to protect their reputation, but what is done is done already, it cannot be reverted and Magnolia has taken the game 3 already.

The next move should be Jackson Corpus be suspended for the rest of the PBA Finals.

Troy Rosario's injury would affect the TNT's defense IMO.

The injury was serious if you look how the hand was dislocated, and I don't see a chance that he could play in game 4 even if he is not declared out yet.

https://mb.com.ph/2021/10/24/troy-rosario-dislocates-finger-after-bad-fall-in-game-3-loss/

Quote
It’s still too early to tell if the injury will affect Rosario’s status for Game 4, tentatively set for Wednesday.

Rosario has been one of TNT’s most important players during its run to the championship series.

Well, good thing TNT has more time to figure out what to do in case Troy will be officially ruled out, but hopefully he will recover soon as TNT has the best chance to win a championship now. It's now or never.

Though Troy is very important to the team they have bigs that are willing to step up to win.

I don't want to expect that Troy will be available in game 4 but I expect for the TNT to bounce back after a loss in game 3.
As Mikey Williams continues to be playing like an MVP, we can always trust the TNT to win in any game.

Anyway, good luck, and whatever team you'll pick, maybe the best capper wins.
2833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 25, 2021, 07:07:35 AM
I wonder what's happening with their promoters they seem to have no intention to make this fight happen this year. I wonder why?

Just because there's no schedule yet, organizers don't have the intention to make the fight happen this year? Not really because organizers can announce the fight even next month if the bout will happen in December. If I'm not mistaken, Donaire vs Casimero was announced just 45 days before the scheduled fight.

That's my question too same as yours but in case there's no fight happened this year, I don't see any wrong if it will happen next year. Maybe more time for preparation in the case of Gaballo and Butler that will face Casimero as they got surprised by the sudden change of event.

If the fight will happen this year then it should have been announced already, I think they will not gonna make it this year despite there being a rumor this fight will be at the end of the month. It would be nice if it will happen early so Donaire will be able to have more time to prepare if he will face Inoue next.
2834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will bring the chaos what the world need. on: October 24, 2021, 11:34:54 PM
Instead of looking at Bitcoin as something that would bring chaos to this world, look at Bitcoin as something that would give people an opportunity to opt-out of the chaos that is fiat and central banking. Bitcoin is a peaceful protest.
Bitcoin is not the one that bring chaos to this world, but rather the fiat that is backed by the government, in which the government started all the chaos because of how they motivated the minds of the people towards bitcoin. Its because the government alone is one sided, and only focus on things they can fully control.

However, instead of chaos, bitcoin is responsible for the new revolution that will set to happen once its massive adoption takes place. Its goal is to change the old, traditional system that is often the source of chaos. And with bitcoin in the future, i think it will bring freedom and peace, and of course financially independence.
2835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: October 24, 2021, 09:09:56 PM
The hunger for winning and the pride of being a boxer. These kinds of mentality aside from making money from this fight, Paul needs to make sure to practice well or, if possible, to have a good drill from Mike before the fight.

He needs to make sure that everything has been foolish before he ruined his career. Roll Eyes Grin
Logan Paul is not planning to make a professional career and to be undefeated, his aim is to make money and that is what he is doing with these match ups.

Being undefeated is impossible anymore because he already has one lose and that is against Mayweather, his record shows. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/896698

Maybe he is planning to stay winless through his career in exhibition fights, but kidding aside, this is the best chance of Logan Paul to win as Mike although the name may bite but he is already old and a young Logan Paul which is probably stronger than Mike can pull this win.
2836  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Does BTC growing faster?? on: October 24, 2021, 06:39:00 PM
Why does btc growing faster than other Cryptocurrencies?

At first, there were miners who ruled. Then came retailers. After them, came the merchants and finally, it got extreme adoption when institutions started backing it. Bitcoin grows slow and steady, I never saw it growing "that fast" you're talking about.

Quote
What makes people chooses bitcoin?

Bitcoin has a highly secured network which takes into account a very huge amount of mining equipment involved in order to keep the security of its Blockchain very very tight. No other altcoins give such assurance as well as security that Bitcoin provides.

Quote
Does bitcoin going up forever?

It depends on the demand alone as its supply is very less compared to what people are demanding today for. And if the demand continues to rise like crazy, FOMO will definitely build up and greed will take place which will surely make BTC go high more in price.
Yes. I guess its more on its demand and supply. Now that bitcoin has more demand compared to altcoins, then its value will definitely go much higher than altcoins. But still, there is no guarantee that bitcoin will always stay on the top. It may have a large market cap plus a secure blockchain, but no one knows exactly if its value will keep on rising. One thing i am certain, the goal and trend of bitcoin is always moving upward, although it has its flaws that sometimes make it dump, but it never stays there for long, its really bound to make a higher value from time to time.
2837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: advantages in the cryptocurrency industry on: October 24, 2021, 05:57:53 PM
There are 3 options to profit in the cryptocurrency industry. according to my version like this:
 - Trading: It is called a way to get more money by trading cryptos, either by transferring between them or by providing exchange services.
 - Investment: There are many cryptocurrencies with a good future, but I only recommend Bitcoin and Ethereum.
 - Gambling: sometimes beneficial and sometimes detrimental. I don't recommend it at all (risk high)
Don't invest yet until you're able to understand the whole concept of cryptocurrencies and how volatile this market is.
There is a process before you can do that, however, you can start by buying bitcoin with around the smallest amount that you can test to see how it feels like owning it but you won't feel the fluctuations since it's just a small amount.

Cryptocurrency has a full of risk once you decide to invest or buy any of the altcoins here. But once you are well knowledgeable
and well verse in crypto space, earnings here is good as long as you know what you are doing and entering at too.
And for my experienced Trading is the most advantage things where it it was my main source of income here second was Investment in some
of the new projects arise here in this field of business.
I think even if you are knowledgeable and well versed in cryptocurrency, things are just not simple as they are since they all involved risks. And if you want to earn, you have to take all the risks.

However, the advantages in crypto industry are not really those trading, investing and gambling since we can also do them with the use of fiat. I think its more on crypto is decentralized, even volatility alone is an advantage too in crypto, and the fact that  crypto coins have higher value compared to fiat or gold, or in any asset. And since they are more valuable, then the profits are much higher too than those profits we made from fiat's investments.

Wow! after a very bad performance of the Magnolia Hotspots in game 1 and 2, they are playing with some sense of urgency and they were successful of getting their first win. Though they are still down by 1 win in the series, but this is a good start for them already, I'm wondering what the line would be in game 4. Smiley

I have a plan, applying the martingale strategy, I'm putting my bet on TNT in game 4 and will double in game 5 if they lose, no way TNT will have a 3 straight loss.

Looks like the game was rigged? look at the video https://fb.watch/8R4oVFDJqk/ and tell me if there's a foul.

Did the refs unintentionally miss the call, or do they just like to blow their whistle so Magnolia will win in game 3.

Clearly there's no foul .

2839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 24, 2021, 12:41:47 PM
Milwaukee Bucks got their second win in their third game against San Antonio Spurs by 121-111. Middleton and Giannis carried the team to the victory. And Giannis was nearly making a triple-double (21 pts, 8 reb, 8 ast). At Spurs, McDermott's performance was really impressive to me. He scored 25 pts but the most impressive thing was his high accuracy in his three-pointer attempts (7/11).

He is a great shooter and he is a good addition to the San Antonio Spurs.

By looking at his stats, you can tell the improvement compared to his previous teams, he has a good start and I think this will be the best season of his career as an NBA player. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/mcderdo01.html

I hope Brook Lopez will be back soon from injury, Bucks needs him a lot.

I am convinced that many of those people that are only looking for profits will come to appreciate the other characteristics of bitcoin and will eventually become to use it in their everyday lives.

I believe the set of generation of people that will see bitcoin as only an asset and not as investment opportunity or tool is yet not arrived. Almost every body that has bitcoin currently are doing so because of the investment value. Maybe back in the early years of bitcoin when it was used to buy pizza could have passed for just asset and hodling but currently it is invested on for profit taking.
And without a doubt you have a point as the majority of those that are getting into bitcoin right now are doing it for the profits they can possibly make, and taking into account that we are in the middle of a bull market then this is not really a surprise, but I really think many people will come to appreciate the characteristics of bitcoin and its decentralization especially since I really think that a massive economic crisis is basically inevitable at this point.
Yes. And with the rising inflation that most of the countries are currently facing right now, its no wonder that some countries are considering to adopt bitcoin as a currency so that inflation would not be felt totally by the people. So in this case, bitcoin is now starting to gain massive adoption not just for the sake of investment's profits but also as a currency that will eliminate inflation that most of the countries are suffering at the present.

However, with regards to its decentralization and volatility, i think it will also be address by the government once it will be a global currency in the future.
