First-round exit by Lebron James, what the heck.

Didn't see that coming, it was supposed to be easy by Lebron to make it in the first round, but this is different now, West had a lot of good teams and even if CP3 is not also at 100%, the suns already figured out their play and they play like a team, unlike the Lakers which are so predictable.

Lebron is getting older as well, he does not have the same type of strength he had back in Cleveland.

in my opinion it's still not over because bullrun peaks usually occur at the end of the year the same as usual, so this is just a short correction to get to the next bull run.
but if you are in doubt you can get out of the market for a while and enter when you are starting to believe the market will recover.

Do you have a concrete example of that?

I've witnessed one bull run only, it's in 2017 and the second half of the year 2018 going forward before this bull run was all correction or bear market.
Look like you've seen it differently, so can you please elaborate?

I heard Student coin raised 28 million dollar and another sources i have seen it’s able to collected big 50 million usd. Whatever now undoubtedly they are strong liquidity project and another reason can be they don’t care about early supporters of this project. But their reputation is destroyed for deceived with hunters. 
It's wrong but the correct amount raised by student coin was around 50 milion dollars as per the hardcap that already achieved. They already dumped their funds into the market. They were holding cash.
They keep fooling their investors by creating scam schemes that distributed various garbage coins as airdrop to their holders. Podobas was a scammer and this project can be catched by US regulators anytime.
So many people from prohibited countries already allowed by him to participate.
This is the next level of GREEDY! In this market a project raised 50m USD isn’t a matter of joke. Even they didn’t IEO launchpad in the major exchange, So that it’s very difficult and rarely to collect such amount of money from private sale. I think it's definitely HYPE project and team is very unprofessional. 
Actually, there are a lot of ICO that claimed to have raised $50 million or more but they are nowhere to be found now, this is a similar one, they build their scams for years, they use the bounty hunters to hype the project and in the end, they benefit big time because they are scammers.

Let's stop criticizing Leonard here, they will get back in the series, they will dominate again the Dallas Mavericks at home. That last shot was well defended so he hesitates a bit, but it was okay though, the series is not yet over, they still have a chance to bounce back.
I just hope so that's the case but if now I wonder what will be the Clippers roster by the next season since Leonard was in free agency and I wonder if they extend him. It's just a mistake if I say so. I'm still longing for a game 7 too and that's where more excitement comes to play.

I'm sure the Clippers will renew his contract, he is the most consistent player on the team, and please, don't worry, let us not conclude yet, we've seen this in the first two games, we thought Clippers has no chance but they came back and tied the series, they still have 1 life, they can get this win for sure.


I reviewed that play and I don't think that was well defended. He can just turn around upon receiving the ball and threw it up with will but that's not what happened. He hesitated and it seems that he's not ready to take the shot. Man, he's the King Clipper so he should have taken that shot with confidence, miss or make.

But you are right, no amount of criticism could turn things around, let's just move on and bet for them next game as for sure they will bounce back strong after that dismal event.

Maybe  I did not see it clearly, but it was a difficult shot for him, it was the play that was not well design, Leonard is not Curry that's why we can't expect him to make a difficult shot.

You'll never know that it's really turning the match when someone got his very lucky punch. I've seen some matches that did upset the whole crowd because of it.

But your points are valid and I agree to what you've said when it comes to technicalities and knowing that it's Floyd. Well, that's just the hope for that one lucky moment.
You can only hope to see Floyd Mayweather loose and all of his fights are attracting huge crowds because they expect him to get defeated and he always wins with his superior defensive boxing skills and now i do not think it is a fair fight as he is fighting someone who is much heavier than him but Logan Paul does not belong to his league in terms of the boxing skills and i find it hard to see any lucky punch going through against the best defensive boxing in history.

But even with that Lucky punch, you are saying, I wonder if it can make Floyd sleep when his body is built in over centuries for boxing. No, not gonna happen so anyone who bet on Logan Paul is probably just wasting money here.
2827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: June 02, 2021, 02:19:13 AM
Yes some people like to despise victims and even to insult them sometimes in order to convince themselves they can't find themselves in this situation. That's a pretty childish way of thinking, I think. Instead of attacking the victims and laughing at them like cowards they should defend them and attack the scammers to stop these noxious practices.

Unfortunately my friend in crypto and in gambling you see the most degenerate people,,, yes myself included:) I have never seen in a real place people beg for money or complain about rules but here,,, people complain for FREE things and when they have to follow the rules, they will make it such a big uproar. Very childish people act online,,, and would never do this in real life. Sad but being online makes them think they are anonymous:)

Complaining is bad in gambling, it only shows that you are not focused and you are not willing to accept the risk, or worst you don't even know the risk. Because we are gambling, we should assume that we are mature enough, we understand the risk, and we accepted it.

KYC is not a problem if we understand it's the rules of a regulated casino, of course we can find other casinos but we should understand that anonymous gambling is risky compared to gambling with KYC as casinos could disappear if they are not licensed.

when we say they are licensed, expect they will require a KYC< maybe not now, but maybe in the long run.

I'm loving the Blazers in game 5, they are down 22 points but they are coming back now, if they can trim this lead into a single-digit lead, they should have a good chance to win this game. This is the most interesting series thus far.

Meanwhile, looks like Boston is out of the series, so advance congratulations to the Nets for the easy win.
2829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 01, 2021, 02:08:19 PM
^^ Tough luck, I have Philly winning and -7.5 and I thought that they cover it.

Anyhow, we don't know how serious the extend of the injury is, bad you can see that it was really a bad fall on Joel part. And Wizards take advantage of it in the paint. Lopez with his sky hook and then they just drive inside the paint. So the series is extended, but it will go back to Philly's home court.

They did managed to take that advantage and make sure that they'll going to win this one at home,

Playing inside and attacking the basket is how Wizard snatched this win and avoid the sweep, though the next game will be at Philly
and knowing how big this team playing at home, might possible to end this one at home in front of their home crowd. Ben Simon didn't
produce that much to cover Embiid unlike from their previous games where he take care when Embiid is not around.
With or without Embiid they may win this game. I was also with Philly at -6.5 and worst I put it in a parlay with the Jazz -5.5. Win 1, Lost 1 = Lost all.  Grin
It's actually a good match without Embiid, almost like equal in offensive attacks. It's just that Wizards got them better with the crowd on their side.
Daniel Gafford is the one that caught my eye. He is getting better at the defensive end with 5 big blocks for the game.
He's future will be bright if he keeps it up. Center with speed and good footwork like him is hard to find.
Sixers almost got that win, they had a run but was short in the end, yes, Daniel Gafford came up really huge, I didn't know this guy but he is one of my favorites now on the Wizards squad, he is like Christian Wood of Rockets that surprise us.

it will be a great game 5 if Embiid still cannot play.

Agree to both of you, better if Embiid is not there and let Howard to take his place,

It's a battle between close friends Simon and Beal, both are making their way and establishing their names inside this league.

Without Joel, the match is more balance as both and defense are much equal, unlike with Joel, Sixers have that huge edge 7 ft
who can carry the ball and shot outside,..

Fans would love to see a thrilling game, and Game 4 was a thrilling game, but if you want the 76ers to win and be a championship contender, you would wish that Embiid will come back healthy to help his team. No doubt that Embiid is the best player on the team, he is very dominant inside and that will free up the shooters of the 76ers.

This season is their chance to be in the ECF, and would probably face the Nets or the Bucks, so they should not waste this opportunity.
2830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 01, 2021, 12:11:50 PM
Nuggets vs Blazers, I think this game is very interesting.

The total is over/under 226. I guess I would bet on the under as it could be a very defensive game since both teams are aiming to reach 3 wins first.
It's hard to predict who will win but 226 under is quite reasonable IMO.

Game 4 total score is only 210 ( 115 - 95 )/

I'm just going to follow the trend from Game 3 for tonight's fixtures

I've got 76ers -4.5 + Utah Jazz ML for  2+ Odds

I don't see either fixture going either ways, I mean it could get in Memphis but It's going to be the Jazz going 3 - 1 up eventually.

Good luck on that, it seems so easy that way knowing the Jazz have adjusted and the 76ers have been consistent in their series. I don't see either that Wizards will pull an upset here, they are pretty well-read by the 76ers and it's been the 76ers who are dictating the tempo every time they play.
2833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where to seek help if you need; concerned with gambling addiction. on: May 31, 2021, 09:00:51 PM
While taking medicines can help in some time, but it does not guaranteed addiction will be eliminated. Find someone who will motivate you to stop gambling I think no matter how we seek advice and supports from others only ourselves will make us change, I know someone who learned from his experience already to stop gambling since he almost loses his family because of his bises. Find something to make you busy at the same time someone who can inspire you to be busy.
Medicines are not really for problems like addiction. It's a mental sickness that has to be treated gradually but not through medicines. The condition that the person is going through might become more intense because of those medicines that will be prescribed.

I agree that it's about someone who will help you to stop gambling. There's another doctor in that field, if it's not the psychiatrist that will help, then your family or a life and well being coach or of the same.

Your family should be the first to help you, if they can't then there's always the professional that would do, but without the help of your family,  you'll still be having a hard time recovering. That's why it's important to prevent addiction that to cure an addiction, we would not want to waste our money and properly, therefore being responsible is a must in gambling.
2834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Does matic (polygon) worth to invest? on: May 28, 2021, 04:34:35 PM
Comparing Matic to DOGE is like saying DOGE is a legit one.

In terms of application in real life, Matic is way better because DOGE is just a meme coin.
However, since you ask me if it's a good investment, then my answer is not at the moment if you are looking for a good price to buy.

Currently, the price seemed overvalued due to hype, so I suggest that you don't ride right away like what people did on DOGE hype.
2835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which assets should I invest in during the current market drop? on: May 28, 2021, 04:18:20 PM
You have to understand the coin you are investing in, not only its price movement but its fundamentals.

you can check the list of coins in the market in this site - https://coinmarketcap.com/

I suggest you learn how to diversify your funds, invest in big marketcap coins, maybe 60% and 40% on low marketcap, or high-risk coins.
The coins with high marketcap are in top 100.
2836  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Many got REKT :( on: May 28, 2021, 03:52:45 PM
Many had to say that selling is not the best option, but to ask how you could generate income if you don't sell? Do we have to buy Bitcoin and hold it until we die? It finds to be funny...
and there is a reason why people sell their Bitcoin and there is also a reason why they HOLD. We got REkt because we overly expecting that Bitcoin will pumps even it was clear to see that it was declining and not able to sell. Maybe, if you can afford to wait another 3-5 years then go for it but we know that not all people have that kind of mindset and we can't blame them.

There are people who are willing to take that step, waiting and continue to hold believing that it will bounce back.

Though you are right, there are many reasons and each of those traders and investors have their own expectations

in looking for the best possible ways to earn from this market situations, needs to have a good setup plans in order

 work with your investment.

All of us want to be profitable but not everyone knows how to do the right decision when we are already in the situation. If we are too greedy, we will miss the good opportunity to sell, we will be played by the market volatility because of the weak emotion that would cause us to make a bad decision.
2837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are we all fools on believing the word "HOLD"? on: May 28, 2021, 11:15:21 AM
Holding unto your crypto assets long term is not a bad thing but i believe it should be done strategically and wisely, if you are still trying to grow your portfolio, then you should always form the habit of taking profits when price is making new highs so that you can reinvest when price dips. It is not always smart to hold unto your cryptos for so long and not take profits, you will only loose your gains when the market sentiment turns bearish.
Obviously, you buy and hold long-term because you want to make more profit, but you should be specific with your target to ensure that you'll be able to sell once that time will come. There's no room for success here for people that are greedy, once you hold the risk is still high and you are gambling with the future of your holdings, be smart, cash out a bit and invest your profit only.
2838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 28, 2021, 10:10:50 AM
Today, we have a lot of exciting games.. Suns vs Lakers looks easy to predict, but I would not call it easy for the Lakers.

Call it another easy win by the Lakers, unless CP3 will come back fully healthy, which is unlikely.

With the Lakers' defense, we saw what happened in game 2, that's the Sun's home court and yet they struggle to score.
As the Suns will adjust, the Lakers will also adjust as they know where the offense is coming, Booker is quite limited so far, and Payne might not be as effective as he was in game 2.
The news came out that Chris Paul will play again and I hope it's for good.
It's not well last time as he cannot move well or even shoot the ball in good form.
I'd like to support the Suns on this. Show the Lakers they didn't make it to rank 2 just because of CP3 but because of their chemistry as a team.

I want to see Ayton put more effort inside even with Drummond and AD protecting it and put more numbers on that stat sheet. Don't let AD have a rhythm or it will be a bad ending.

Chris Paul looks better as compare to game 2 and hitting his favorite fade away shots, so that's a good sign that he is improving, so good job from the Phoenix Suns trainers.

Ayton still doing good against AD and Drummond in game 3, Lakers just lead 3 in the halftime. Still anybody's ball game here until either one of them exploded in the third quarter. But I'm expecting a very tight race, both teams didn't shoot well, evident of the defense.

But the story changed in the 2nd half especially in the 3rd quarter where the Lakers had a huge run.
CP3 only played 27 minutes and his contribution is not really enough to help the team to at least compete at a high level.

Seems like they are really frustrated as they can't break the defense of the Lakers.
it end up a low scoring game and when with that, it's always a Lakers game.
2839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 28, 2021, 08:20:26 AM
Boy how wrong I was with my Suns pick yesterday. I still hope CP3 will be healed for game 5 in Phoenix so they can have a chance to turn it around.
Lakers did dominate them in the paint, that's the very simple strategy the Lakers has been using and they have no answer on it.
it's like a high percentage shot versus a contested shot, with the way the Suns are playing, series could be 4-1 in favor of the LA Lakers.

Nice win for Denver on the road getting back the home court advantage. They seem to have found to way to deal without Murray.
The Blazers rally was too late, their defense is still a problem, they have to win game 4 to make this series interesting.

Bucks just can't be matched by the Heat. Game 4 will have the same outcome. Same with Nets - Boston
I'm not touching this game anyway.
2840  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Many got REKT :( on: May 28, 2021, 02:52:35 AM
Who did an exit strategy before the worst dip?


I did, and in fact, I'm still not buying now as I believe we will see more dip.

Bitcoin is recovering but it could be another bull trap, so I'll just watch and relax while waiting for another dip.

I don't use charts a lot, I follow the news and speculation, it's been so effective for me.
Maybe I could be wrong, but this is the game, we are in a big guessing game.
