I got the same pick, Warriors -2.5 in game 1.


Klay Thompson ruined this bet. He missed 2 FT which is very uncharacteristic of him, he was clutch actually but he really missed, it only proved he is a human. LOL.. better luck next time for me, I still got them in game 2.

I was thinking that this bet would have a high chance of winning after that foul that being committed.

Until now I'm still thinking how int he world he will miss important FT like this. There's still enough time for Memphis to snatch
the game, almost, but it's not for Memphis to win the game today.

Time to move forward and sort the games for tomorrow, Heat -7.5 @ 1.93 seems decent since news spread that Sixers will be
Embiid-less this coming game 1.

Many bettors  including myself were shocked by those missed free throws from Klay due to the spreads being affected.

On tomorrow's game. Is it the first time that James Harden playing without Embiid? I still trust Harden's offense but it also depends on how Doc Rivers planned the game. But I do hope Doc will let Harden do his thing. I might take a pass on betting tomorrow's games. 



Yeah I put a few bucks down on the Warriors as well and was losing my mind on easy buckets being missed such as those free throws. Memphis is a pretty solid team so maybe I should have given them a little more credit especially with as well as Ja Morant has been playing.

It was a very competitive game, Warriors could have cover the spread if Klay did not missed the 2 FTs. Ja Morant was trying to have a game winner, but we know how good the Warriors are in terms of defense, they will not let that happen, I think a 3 point shot would be better than the last play of Morant.

If klay hits the free throws then it would have altered what Memphis does atthe end so everyone can play the what if games but that alters everything else after.  Agreed if I had the warrior side of the bet that would have driven me nuts since klay is a lifetime 85% foul shot shooter.

When I read the subject, I thought right away it was now official that there will be Crawford vs Spence fight. Cheesy

It's no doubt that it was a much-awaited fight for most boxing fans. For now, the status is just pure speculation.

I will just refer to what Spence Jr. said prior to his fight against Yordenis Ugas that he will settle with 2 fights before moving up. The first was done and won it vs. Ugas and the second one should be vs. Crawford as I don't think it's anyone else aside from him.

Spence is getting his ass whooped if he takes the Crawford fight.  Crawford doesn't back down from anyone so I'm glad he made it public he wants the fight.  Spence doesn't want anypart of thump.  Middleweight used to be the premium fight but this literally would mark welterweight as the prized fight and prized fight class.  Cmon spence...make this happen!

Honestly prices for brass Cas coins (2011-2013) have been under-impressive.  I wouldn't let go of this coin for anything under 1.5btc but you won't get anywhere near that in this market.  If you don't need the digital or the cash value your best bet is to hold until Cas coins get their proper valuation.  Crypto has now gone mainstream, nfts are bought by some influential people I would imagine these should be next in line. 

TLDR: you probably won't get more than 1.1btc here on the forum right now....

I'm going with Bobby Portis Over 9.5 Rebounds @ 1.81, He's been relieving Giannis of the boards duty a lot lately, going after every lose ball and I think he'll be at it again today.

Glad, I got this one to go.

I got the same pick, Warriors -2.5 in game 1.

I feel that the Warriors would win at least one game on the road, and game 1 is going to be that game.
Talent wise, Warriors has the upper hand so I would always trust them in situation like this.

GL everyone! enjoy the 2nd round of the playoffs

I'm riding this pick mate. I like the Warriors very much so I would just blindly betting in game 1, it doesn't matter if they are on the road, I believe they can win as they have been in this kind of situation before. Just like the Memphis, warriors are also playing a small ball, so I'm also thinking of betting on the over as well.

So many people are laying on the Warriors.  Gimme the Grizzlies getting points AT HOME!  they beat the dubs 3 out of 4 times and they play small ball but at a faster pace.  I actually think golden state is an easier matchup for the Grizzlies than the wolves were.  Taking the Grizzlies all day getting points.

I really don't feel too confident with the Warriors here tbh, and I'm not going to be placing any bet on them on ML for now, but I feel the Grizzlies inexperience might cost them in this series, and you can't expect the Warriors to throw away as many games away like the Wolves did. I'll probably make a decision after the first 2 games.

Lol so ML on the Warriors hit but I still nailed the spead at -2 lol.  Crazy game and I expect the entire series to go down like this.  Bane and brooks killed the Grizzlies today.  If either one of them were on their game they would have won this game by double digits.  Next game is crucial for the Grizzlies, they can go down 2-0 going to Golden state.  They need to split this and the next series like they did against the wolves.  I still like theor chances they match up well against the warriors.

Please make this fight happen.  This would be the fight of the year.  I like Crawford in this fight.  Wonder what the odds would be.  Who does everyone like in this fight if it goes down finally?

Of course, every boxing fan wants this fight to happen the boxing community has been frustrated because the fight will not push through but with Crawford's announcement team Spence should now make a move, these two fighters if they failed to meet in the ring will be a source of frustration in their retirement days they should meet now that they are in the heights of their career.

Quote
"The way we can get this fight done is them sending me an offer and we look at the offer and sit down at the table and we discuss what's needed from both sides -- Team Spence, Team Crawford -- and we get the fight done like that. My team is just waiting on them to get in touch with us and make this fight happen."

Absolutely.  A lot of times it's the promotion teams that hold fights back because the money isn't right.  With Crawford free and clear now, now is the time.  Both at the height of theor career, this fight needs to happen.  There aren't many fights I get hyped up about but this one I'd pay the ppv fee all day long.  This needs to happen within the next 12 months.

Lets not fall into Greed reality mate  because this will surely made us loser or at least frustrated .. If you are going to expect a decent return for your investment then you should learn how  to keep holding for long term.
and that is what we need to achieve in MATIC investing.
I Myself is interested in this currency but till now has no chance to purchase because My holdings are enough for me to spend the amount i can risk.
The frustration that the coin you wanted to see at a certain level didn't reach that level does change a lot of our perspective to the market. We could be too greedy in our minds and sometimes that blocks us from seeing the reality.

I am not saying that it shouldn't be going up, whatever you bought hopefully goes up, but if you see it stuck somewhere, do not have some dreams that it will be insanely higher. I mean when something is 2 bucks at the best time ,and you hope for 20 bucks, that is not realistic and you are going to end up being upset about it as well. This is why I believe we should be focusing on a bit of real prices that could be achieved.

That's because everything is down its not indicative of what the price might be one day.  I'm actually impressed at where it's at right now.  I think this might be a good opportunity to load up on matic.  Seems more and more people are using it everyday.  Beats the hell out of eth right now.

For the past hours now mining become profitable again, 100MH is now making 9.2$ per day, isn't this the sign of a massive sell-off? I can see that many altcoins are diving very deep and the market isn't looking very good, since ETH is also down at the 2755$ range I expect profit to go lower too but the gas fee became insanely high again meaning people are selling and getting out......i smell the return of 2018.

Well yeah you might be right we are seeing another 2015 or 2018 sell off but you can't infer that directly from mining profitability.  There are too many factors that drive that to infer anything from it.  The market in general is in a sell off, just a little slower than I expected but it's coming.

What type of crypto utility do you think will survive in this coming bear market? Some are saying most layer 1 blockchain projects will fail what about the likes of launchpad platforms, or we should just focus on metaverse only? Since metaverse isn't even close to perfection yet I think 💭 they may actually lead the way in future, what is your thoughts on this?.

Bitcoin.  The end.

No seriously, only serious projects make it out.  If you are holding stuff like baby doge, elon inu token, or whatever other wierd coin you are gonna get slaughtered.  I'd stick with bitcoin in a bear market everything else gets crushed, just saying.  To each their own everyone has to learn the hard way at least once.

The first game of the Celtics - Bucks series is already going on and Bucks are ahead for now. For this matchup, I believe that Bucks are going to have a comfortable series. Maybe Celtics would win one game at least but I think that Bucks would finish the series 4-1 ahead in the worst case. Bucks are doing just great this season also thanks to Giannis especially. Celtics are not that strong to fight back against them many times. But I really appreciated Celtics' performance against Nets in the previous round though.

I agree the Bucks should take the series but I don't think it will be "comfortable".  Celtics are a lot tougher than people give them credit for.  But yeah to see the Bucks being underdogs and not being taken seriously is wierd.  They are the Champs and until they are knocked off I would think they would get more respect.  I actually see them in the finals again.  Who knows though I just hope it's a good series

Is it possible that dogecoin can beat BTC after Elon musk takes over Twitter? Imagine if Dogecoin is well accepted throughout the world then BTC wouldn't this makes Dogecoin the new coin? This might sound too crazy to dream about but that Elon musk guy can make anything possible.

No you are talking about a joke mem coin with infinite block rewards with no de escalation of those block rewards.  And it's all hinged on litecoin miners to secure its network.  By no means does this mean it will or even have the possibility of taking over bitcoin, seriously..
This is what happens when influencers keep shilling meme coins and HYPE causes such false information on minds. Experienced traders know what is possible or not let alone comparing shitcoin with top cryptocurrency, supply and demand should be taught in school so basic financial knowledge will let them think before dreaming...

Nail on the head with that comment.  People follow these influencers or whatever they are called and have no idea they are throwing their money into a trash heap.  10k new doge every minute...forever.  it's not sustainable.  Look it's already gone from $.75 down to now $.13 because everyone who was gonna buy already did and is bag holding.  This will end badly for most.
2874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin 🐕‍🦺 1$ possible in 2022 or not? on: April 29, 2022, 09:29:54 PM
When Dogecoin lounch, Dogecoin was a common cryptocurrency But over the trailing 14-month stretch, Dogecoin has rallied approximately 5,000%. And it was up considerably more when it hit its all-time high of nearly $0.74 per coin in May 2021.

With a veritable mountain of support behind Dogecoin, enthusiasts and holders believe it could hit $1 per token.

In terms of catalysts, there's probably none bigger than having the world's richest person in your corner. Tesla CEO Elon Musk owns only three cryptocurrencies. One of those happens to be Dogecoin. Musk is no stranger to promoting Dogecoin on social media platforms like Twitter, or posting obscure memes implying that Shiba Inu dogs are "going to the moon." what do you think about dogecoin?


Dogecoin has seen its pump, its over.  If you missed out you missed out.  Dogecoin was built as a joke and still is.  Everyone is bagholding right now there isn't enough buyers to raise the price anymore.  Best to steer clear and let the meme coin dust settle.

Anyone got the Sixers at handicap? Not sure what is the spread but it seems that they are going to cover it as their lead balloon to more than 20 points.

Damn, Raptors losing steam in the 3rd and 4th quarter, I was thinking on betting on them at live, but it's good idea to stay away from this game.

The pregame spread was only -1 for the Sixers, they are a slight favorite because the Raptors beat them twice in a row already. Even in the live betting, you will still get a good odds because they completely dominated the game.

That is if you think before hand that the Sixers are going to win. Because they have lost the last 2 games. But what a turn of events for Toronto. There are no legs and everyone thought that they are going to win because it's in their homecourt. But congrats to those who see the Sixers coming back strong and win by a huge lead.


Sixers overpower the Raptors in the second half  there's nothing that the Raptors can do with that huge rally and tough

defense that the Sixers shown them, they all exhausted and can't do anything to fight back, that huge lead that starts in the third quarte

continue till the last few minutes of the game, Sixers are all in their cheat mode, whoever inside the court are really doing their part to

help the team. Great win for Sixers supporters !

Sixers are still coming in as a 14-1 odds to win the championship.  With a series down and facing the heat in the next round they have a good shot at getting out of the round.  Might be worth a punt laying on sixers.

CP3 drops 33 points with 100% field goals in a playoffs season. For me I really find it awesome as I think it is a new top records in the NBA,  this is gonna be a good match between Luka and CP3. For now I placed a bet to the Suns even though Devin Booker is not going to play.
Shaq said it will be tough to beat. Oh, I bet it will be. It's not easy to have a perfect night, indeed.  Grin Who will be next one to create an awesome feat? Luka Doncic or maybe Jokic are the guys I know who could shoot the ball with high accuracy. But when? Maybe when they are veteran like CP3.

Later Wolves vs Grizzlies Game 6. Win or Go home for the Wolves. Who are you betting for? I am with the Grizzlies.

Cp3 was unreal last night, dude just looks like the game is so slow to him.  He is playing as good as anyone in the NBA right now.

Series of the playoffs so far in the Grizzlies and Wolves.  Have the Grizzlies in a future bet so I want them to win off but selfishly want the Wolves to win so we can get a game 7 in Memphis winner take all between these 2 teams.  I think in years to come we might see a bunch of wolves/Grizzlies series.  2 good young teams
2879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 29, 2022, 02:30:56 PM
Back to the Grizzlies vs Wolves series, what do you think, will this extend to a decider game 7 or will the Grizzlies end the series?

Again, I'm liking a game 7 so for me Wolves will have to win the next game. I know it will be tough, but they manage to lead this series and then comeback after a huge lost. Last game, they have the time to win the game or at least go into OT. So Wolves for me. (I know majority will not agree with me here, but that was just my call.)

Tough bet tonight.  I have Grizzlies winning the whole thing at 20-1 so I'm gonna have to selfishly hope for a Grizzlies win tonight.  But as a betting man wolves getting a point at home is a real good bet.  They play close all the time and they should come out in a do or die situation hard.  What I think I'm betting tonight is the under.  I expect both young teams to be a little tight.  Then I can root against both but hope the Grizzlies win lol.  Good luck and enjoy the game shoukd be a good one.
2880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 28, 2022, 02:03:03 PM

Golden State Warriors -10.5 @2.22

Maximizing the risks since I think they will end the series later on with the BANG.

Not much analysis is involved. Simply, I only refer to the Warriors' Game 1 and 2 dominance playing at Chase Center (former Oracle Arena) where they end up beating the Denver Nuggets with a huge lead.

Good luck to all.

I loved it, though I only got -9 but I like the -10.5 as well, better odds for you and I believe that the Warriors will dominate to end the series. Just like what is happening in the first game, the Warriors will win and cover the spread.

Unfortunately, Golden State Warriors just managed to breach the Denver Nuggets' lead in the 4Q. I really thought that they will close the series with a big lead like what they did playing at their home arena back in Games 1 and 2. I placed a good amount here and have no choice but to move on lol and prepare for the next set of games especially in my much-awaited Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz game tomorrow.


Yes, Nuggets figure out how to beat the Warriors but it's still not enough. I'm happy for Cousins because he tallies his best record in the playoffs and that quite guarantees that his contract with the Nuggets will be longer. If not for him, maybe the Warriors have already dominated the game.

About the Dallas vs Jazz game, I would place by bet on the Dallas, they are in control of this series, and Luka being able to play very well, they should close the series tomorrow.

Yeah, GSW is too much for Jokic to conquer, although Jordan Poole has some sort of so-so performance in his last 2 games, Steph carry the team again.

And I agree with the Dallas vs Jazz series, Luka is just toying with the defense of the Jazz on him. He is still unstoppable and this could have been done already if not for Luka not playing in the first 2 games. This could have been a sweep.

Congrats to those who won today.

Dallas is the favorite though, but they are only -2.5 so that's for me is very manageable. I don't know if the Jazz still has an answer on Luka, if they cannot win without Luka, how much more. This I'm confident on placing my bet, hopefully refs won't spoil this for me.  Smiley

I like the jazz tonight with the ML.  They shoukd come out strong and have a good home crowd behind them.  Gimme game 7 in this series, and I like Philly on the road -1.5 to close out the series.  Been a boring series and I expect this one to be a snorefest as well with Philly getting a zillion foul shots and bore Toronto into a loss.
