I'm taking the Jazz -4.5 since the Warriors looked a bit off against the Nuggets, they trailed as much as 20points in the first half then came back to tie the game in the 4th quarter but still not enough for a win. On the other hand, you have the Jazz playing on a back-to-back, but still have most of their key players. It's tough to go against one of the best teams in the league but i'll gladly take my chances knowing they're missing one of their starting player.
Sorry mate, the Warriors dominated and defeated the Jazz today opposite to your expectations. I mean, it's somehow expected that the Warriors will eventually bounced back after their defeat against the Nuggets (for the record, it was just a 3 points difference).
I thought that the Jazz would really recover til the end after they made a 19-points lead at the end of 3rd quarter because of the impressive play of Gobert and Clarkson but the Warriors answered back on the 4th quarter and settled the game to their favor. 

They got tired chasing the lead of the Warriors, although they got a decent lead, but it wasn't enough and they are not able to sustain it because Curry keeps the Warriors close and it's just a matter of time before the Jazz legs gets tired and started to missed shots.

Andre Igoudala was the big difference in this game as he hits a crucial 3 points that really did the game for the Warriors as the Jazz wasn't able to responds after that 3 by the veteran.

Warriors proving that they are the best team in the West, thus far, they have the best record and they beat the Suns and Jazz already so this team really has a legit chance to be in the NBA Finals once again.  They are playing good basketball, missing some important player/s is not really a problem as everyone is willing and can contribute.
2882  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ethereum still a viable alternative to Bitcoin? on: January 01, 2022, 09:40:29 PM
I'm sure bitcoin will remain at the top but I'm unsure with ETH as there's good competition in the altcoins market. Being stable is not a thing in crypto, when the bear market comes, everything will dump including bitcoin and it's just a matter of how they'll survive and on how huge the dump will happen.

In terms of a payment system, bitcoin is way better now as you can transact with lower fees compared to Ethereum.
You are right. It will not be surprising if ethereum will be replace from its position in the future due to its own issue having a high transaction fees. And since the altcoin market a lot of projects have been emerging every year, and if it happens that there's another smart network that has low transaction fees and seems reliable, i think most of the projects will grab for it.  But i also hope that ethereum's issue will be fix already as its hard to trust another network which has gained already a strong foundation.
2883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mainstream media eager to announce Bitcoin dead on: January 01, 2022, 08:53:47 PM
Since they didn't understand it, that was actually the reason.
there are fewer reasons to dislike bitcoin than to dislike the Ordinary national currency.
and if they love money or any reason, try to take some time to learn about bitcoin.

bitcoin is better than money, just ignore the media or anything that tries to bring down bitcoin because over time they will realize it and will get involved, because bitcoin or crypto can still be said to be new so it's only natural that there are still many who don't like it.
The mainstream media is considered anti bitcoin so they are definitely closed minded and would not accept positive news about bitcoin and refused to understand bitcoin more. So they keep on publishing negativity about bitcoin and claiming its dead already a lot of times, and as for those readers who are also not knowledgeable on bitcoin, they easily believed on the negative news.  But if they will come to analyze it, bitcoin is even more progressive and continue to grow every year.
2884  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which trading strategy would be a good start for new traders? on: January 01, 2022, 08:10:36 PM
I'm in beginner stage at trading . Recently I loose about 80$ . It is a  huge amount for me . But I wanna try again
Now I need some advice for me . I also have some questions about trading.

1.My 1st question is about which trading strategy  is good for a new traders ? I mean short term  or long term.

2.  In short-term trading, when to buy and when to sell ?

3.  In short-term trading, do I need to sell the coin  on the day ?


I hope these questions answer and advise could help me to know some good things about trading and helping to choose the right trading strategy at this stage  and others like me.

1. I'm a long term so I'll say that long term is really good and effective for me and try it, maybe you're for the long term.
2. This is a question that only you can see how it's being done. You'll get similar answers like buying during the dip and selling at the peak and when you're in profit.
3. You have to sell when you're in profit and you have to set a target.
I also think long term trading will work on you as it has less risk compared to short term trading. As long as you have patience to hold, you will always be good and profitable when it comes to long term trading.

However, if you go for short term trading, the risk is even higher but its still a good way to make profits as long as you are capable to make profits in a consistent way. Its always a good buying moment when the prices are in dips and definitely perfect time to sell when bull run hits the market or when the coins reaches their new ATH. Of course, never sell at a losing price. Just sell when you think you'll be in profits.
2885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 01, 2022, 01:58:48 PM

The games I'm talking about are the Suns vs Boston, and Bulls vs Pacers. 
I'll back the road teams here individually (single bet) and will do a parlay as well.

Bad bet here,  and though Bulls won but they failed to cover the spread, it's a total wrecked because I also have a parlay on these two teams. Anyway, gotta bounce back real quick as we have more games coming. Still like the Bulls despite failing me last night, so Bulls -2.5 against the Wizards.

This  Golden State vs Utah game as well but I have a little doubt because the Warriors are +5.5, so maybe some players are out again.
2886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you buying in this market downturn? on: January 01, 2022, 01:39:25 PM
Exactly. If you are aware already that bitcoin will not always stay in a high value, but it will also experience price dumps, then the current market condition should not bother you at all. Expect that the market will experience downturn which will even offer a great opportunity to start buying potential and strong coins that will always bounce back whenever its value dumps.

However, buying bitcoin, ethereum and BNB are definitely my target coins this time. They may be seen slow in progress but certainly the most profitable coins when they are seen reaching their new ATHs.

I have bought bitcoin and ethereum during the position of the market that was anticipating to go up or down but it happened that after I bought it the prices continues dumping, I am sort of too early to buy but I don't have any regret because bitcoin and Ethereum were always be the best option to buy in this market downturn. Also, altcoins like Solana, XRP, and BNB still a good choice to buy too, to be honest, there's a lot of good altcoins good to buy in this market downturn like Metaverse tokens we only need to make a proper research about it.

That's great, as long as the project has great potential, buying them at the moment is really good timing as it's still cheap due to some correction we are witnessing now. The entire market has not fully recovered yet, maybe this will take further correction and more dump will be witnessed, so always have some budget to buy the dip as that would mean you bought it at a discounted price.
2887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you buying in this market downturn? on: December 31, 2021, 11:14:41 PM
Bitcoin's still the best buy during this down time.

Everyone shouldn't be discouraged when they see bitcoin goes down. You have to realize that it's the reason most of your alts are down. And instead of piling up for more alts of yours, get the source and reason why the market goes down.

That's bitcoin.

Buy it and for the altcoins, solid ethereum it is.

2888  Economy / Economics / Re: Digital asset is for holding on: December 31, 2021, 10:39:01 PM
Everything requires patience, especially in the long run because there will be many temptations along the way such as panic, emotional and so on and you have to be really strong through them to get a good profit.
Knowledge and learning to analyze is very important before trading especially for the short term because you have to do it full time to make money and use the extra money so that when it doesn't go as expected you don't regret it too much.

Short trading isn't as easy as you think. I don't advice it for the newbies who wants to have a quick profit, because short term trading needs a good experience. Trading capital must also be separate from the funds you need for daily essentials.
Holding is always gonna be the safest choice.
Set a target, invest what you can afford to lose, never depend on your investment as a back up fund for emergency, and never sell it to a much lower price when the market declines never panic.
Holding sounds easy as well, but It's always gonna be concerning when you're on actual holding.
People get blinded by the profits they can get with short term trading and as such they decide that is the path they want to take, it seems they do not understand that compared to long term trading or holding it is many time harder and that the chances of success are lower, but since all what they care about are the potential profits then they decide to try it anyway and then when they fail they come to the forum to complain about it when anyone could have predicted the results they got.
Well, short term trading brings a higher risk but if you think you are capable to make profits consistently, then why not? I think as long as we're getting our main goal to make profits, then its always good. However, if you think of higher profits, then long term holding could possibly give you that. Although it may be a long waiting game, but if you are just patient and calm, the rewards will always be worth waiting for. But for you to be more stable, its better if you can land a permanent day job so you won't be worrying if crypto is not making profits sometimes.
2889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is really controlling the Bitcoin market. on: December 31, 2021, 09:56:12 PM
People always say that they are are waiting for the price of Bitcoin go down before they go into the market for trading and at the same time nobody can predict the market.
Now is the market been manipulated? Or it all depends on the numbers of investors who invested.
There is something we need to understand about Bitcoin.
The more the demand of Bitcoin the more the increase take place.Can anyone predict the market?
Because people are waiting for the decrease in price and are they predicting the market or not?
I don't think have a better understandingn on how Bitcoins

Initially, I believed that the price of BTC was driven by demand, but over the past few years I have seen that the price of BTC is being manipulated. Who is doing this? First of all, these are large crypto exchanges and funds. I also believe that they do this not of their own free will, but on instructions, but who exactly gives such instructions I cannot say because I don’t know. And it is clear that this information is closed and hardly anyone can know 100% who is the customer of the BTC pumps and dumps. In any case, demand no longer affects the price of BTC, since there are off-the-shelf platforms where you can buy BTC at a fixed price, and not at the exchange price, which means someone can buy BTC at a low price, after which there is a custom pump and a profit is made. These are just my guesses, maybe everything works in a completely different way.
For me, no one is capable to control the market, except for those big whales that are holding significant amount of bitcoin as they are always manipulating the market. Also, bitcoin market can be controlled by its own supply and demand. When you see many investors are buying bitcoin, the supply will lessen but will create a higher value for bitcoin. Now, if many will sell bitcoin especially at a bull run, its value is expected to dump a little but definitely recovers after some time.
Yes, big whales are always in a good position to manipulate the market since they are holding a huge amount of bitcoin. But aside from that, there are those sudden news and events that will also control the market and sometimes when its really affected, it creates price dumps. Also, the biggest factor that i think can control the bitcoin market is the law of supply and demand. Usually, if there are significant number of people who will use bitcoin, then it will create a positive price for bitcoin as its massive adoption also increases.

I'm thinking of putting a bet on the early game tomorrow.

2 games that I think are too early in my timezone but I'll probably watch this game since I'm waiting for the new year and with some celebration, I'll definitely be awake.

The games I'm talking about are the Suns vs Boston, and Bulls vs Pacers. 
I'll back the road teams here individually (single bet) and will do a parlay as well.

Voting for sportsbet.io but I'm glad to see that we still have plenty of sportsbook on the list that I have not tried yet, especially the new sportsbook from a reputable gambling site. It's very evident that Sportsbet.io is taking the lead, just like the old survey, they are consistently winning as they'll likely win again this year.
2892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your altcoin predictions for the new year 2022 on: December 30, 2021, 09:21:32 PM
I don't expect a boring year, that's for sure! I mean every year is turbulent in crypto, with crazy bull and bear markets... definitely we don't lack excitement here in the crypto world, and I believe the next year will be like all others before, crazy as it can be! Some coins will disappear, some new ones will arrive, I expect some coins to make new records... with more users, and every year crypto community is growing, we can expect crypto market to expand even more!
Buckle up and never stop stacking some coins you like and believe in, even if 2022 doesn't bring what we expect it will happen in 2023! Smiley
There will be another roller coaster for crypto prices as every year, crypto brings us all excitement and joy. But i have strong feeling that NFTs and metaverse gaming will continue their trend by 2022 and they will become more profitable as its users continue to expand. Also, investing in bitcoin, ethereum and BNB will bring good profits again if we start buying them now and continue hodling by 2022 and just wait for a perfect price to sell once their prices are in peaks.
2893  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I know legit and scam investment? on: December 30, 2021, 02:50:06 PM
It is actually hard to find about the scam as you know very well that if one project launch then everyone want to start investing in it and with the passage of time the number of users of that project increases so you cannot find that weather it is scam or not. But if certain project asked for more money then you can realize that it will be scam. In cryptocurrency there are  certain projects that are scam and you invest in these project and lose your capital as you do not know about its scam.
Most of the scam projects are offering rewards that are too good to be true that you end up realizing if this is legit or not. And also at some point, legit projects look like scam too. So if you are not knowledgeable enough and create decision instantly, then you will fall as one of their victims. I think its definitely a must to go in depth with the project and the team behind it if they are really existing or just ghosts. Its also good to trace the history of the project if they have been successful or not in the past.

However, scamming has been rampant these days so you need to avoid it as much as possible. By keeping yourself updated of all the current events and studying the crypto space continuously, and not being greedy to make bigger profits, then there will be less chances for you to be scam.
2894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin upgraded my financial life on: December 29, 2021, 11:46:36 PM
You are not the only one who experienced that happiness OP, personally I'm also thankful that I know bitcoin as helps me a lot in achieving my financial goal. It always starts from small earning but that is something to be grateful for, small income is betting than nothing, right?

Just continue being more active in the community and in the crypto space, I'm sure the time will come that you'll find more opportunities that could potentially give you more income to lift your financial life.

Happy Holidays and wish you more success and to everyone who is starting their journey here.   
I would attest to that also. Bitcoin is helping us in securing our financial needs and even help us gain financial freedom in the future. Though bitcoin is very much volatile and has higher risk than other types of investments, but when you start gaining advantage from it, you'll definitely find more good opportunities to gain and earn from it if you always focus on it. Bitcoin may mean useless to some people but for us who know its real potentials, i think bitcoin is even worth working for than to focus on our 8 hour day job.
2895  Economy / Economics / Re: Dont just borrow money but for the right reason on: December 29, 2021, 09:31:33 PM

There's nothing wrong with loaning or borrowing but, to be honest, it's better if we'll not borrow funds to expand our assets. Crypto investment is profitable even metaverse but borrowing to invest more has huge risk and might only lead you to regrets in the end. It's better to save before investing so you'll have all the control over your investment without any pressure.
I agree with what you said, it's true that we are free to do anything including borrowing and borrowing.
But if we borrow with the aim of developing assets, even though we are already pros, I think this is still full of risks.
not without reason, because indeed here there is no guarantee that forever we will experience profits because of course there will be times when we will experience losses.
besides that it is better with own assets even with fewer assets but no debt compared to making excessive risk by borrowing funds from other people in the hope of getting a profit. this is not very good.
I think in all types of investments, knowing that they have their own risks, borrowing money is never a good start. Of course, it can expand or widen your assets but if you are entering in a market with no guaranteed profits, then it will only cause pressures and troubles later on thinking where to get the money that you will use to pay. Although crypto gives us huge profits, definitely bigger from other types of investments, but there is no fixed time or date as when to get the profits so paying the debt will mostly be compromised.
with benefits that you don't know for sure will get or not, actually investing using a loan will only make you think extra and your mind will be divided between investing and thinking about how to pay off the money you borrowed.
Of course this will only add to your thinking instead of getting comfortable in investing, things like this will only make you someone who is confused about solving problems.
because when this happens if you don't get a return on investment you will only be able to think about borrowing money back to pay off existing debts. and it will continue until things get worse
This is really possible if you invest in crypto without an assurance when to make profits. In the first  eplace, borrowing money is not really a good thing to do especially that there is always a high risk in cryto investment. When you need to pay your loan and yet, you're not making profits yet, there are always high chances that you will create another loan to cover your first loan, so that will create more stress and pressures on your part and yaou wiill live with it until you become debt free. So now that you see what will happen ahead, then never start engaging in it.
2896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: December 27, 2021, 09:46:10 PM
You are right, Ugas is very slow for Errol Spence. The only reason he is in this fight is because he has the belt and he defeated an old Pacman. No offense to Ugas fans here but he is not in the level of Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford but he should be happy that everything falls in his favor, first being the replacement fighter to fight Manny then defeat Manny where after that the money flows. I reckon that this fight would not last the distance as Ugas has no lateral movement.
I think the same way but at the end of the day he is a champion and that is more than enough for us to be interested in the fight even if we think Spence is the favorite to win it all, besides it is likely that Ugas knew this and instead of trying to face a challenger and then lose his title he decided to go for an unification fight thinking that even if he lost he will obtain more money that way, and if there is a rematch clause on the contract then he can get two title fights and receive even more money that way.
Ugas prove his worth that’s why he gain it by defeating Manny and we have to move on from that and accept the fact that he is a champion. Fighting Spence can be a big fight as well and hopefully, no more reason for Spend to cancel this match or else it can really affect his career. Too early to say buy I believe Ugas have the chance here to win agains Spend if this will push through.
He cannot find another excuse to cancel this fight, he already ruined the career of Manny Pacquiao, so he should fight the one who beat Pacquiao. I like Ugas because he is a real man, he even gave Pacquiao a chance for a rematch but the latter decided to retire from boxing, so it's Ugas and Spence now and I'm expecting it to be an exciting fight to watch.
2897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Ioka Dec 31 on: December 27, 2021, 09:18:00 PM
Few days for this long fight I have been waiting for to take place. My support goes for ancajas he is a smart fighter with great tactics,  let me just chill and wait to watch the outcome of the fight.
We don't know if it's a long fight since both fighters are capable of knocking out their opponent. Ancajas may have more fans here from the Filipino boxing community, but we have to understand that Ioka is fighting in his country and that's his advantage. Both fighters are really strong since it's unification fight, it's the battle between the best.

Yup, this is an interesting fight as both are belt holders but IMO, Jerwin Ancajas has the advantage as he has fought in the US and other places more than Ioka since the latter mostly fought in his home country but the good thing about this fight for the Japanese is that it would be held in Japan which put some advantage points on Ioka.

For the information of everybody, this fight is going to happen next year as the promoter have postponed the fight due to the emergence of Omicron variant of covid-19 so we have to wait for a few more months before we can see these two face each other.

Yes, I think all the big boxing fights in Japan are canceled or postponed, like the fight of GGG against a Japanese opponent too. Let's wait for the official announcement as to what date it will happen, hopefully we will not have to wait for so long, 1st week next year is enough to wait as the hype is still there.
2898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: December 27, 2021, 08:41:23 PM
<..>
Inoue vs Donaire is a good match if it will happen I think Donaire must focus on training so that he has a chance to win against the king of their division. Inoue must be careful also cause we all know that Donaire is a counter puncher.
Back to the topic about magsayo and Russell yes This is the big fight of Magsayo's career and they must be trained harder. In this fight I will bet magsayo too.


I remember watching Mark Magsayo's fight against Julio Ceja where the former landed a right hard punch on round 10 which sealed the deal and eventually won the entire fight. According to boxrec, Magsayo has an undefeated record of 23 wins. I do think that Gary Russell is a dangerous opponent given his destructive power, size, and speed on the ring.

There was this article that featured Magsayo, stating that this fight might be his biggest so far. Although I do fear for him, I am at full support towards this fight as I do believe that he will eventually come out as the winner at the end.

In a fight like this where a Filipino is a challenger for the championship, it's good to support and put our bet. I guess we all see how Magsayo adjusted in his previous fight, he did not get frustrated although his opponent is leading the scorecard, instead, he finds ways to make a convincing win and that is by knocking out his opponent. So, anything can happen in this fight, he might replicate that kind of victory although his opponent now is a champion.

There is a lot of money on the Nets, which makes me think this is a trap game.  Nets are without a ton of players too.  Hard to say how the game will go knowing it will basically be a bunch of backups running the floor.  With Durant out I'm actually thinking of taking the Clippers to cover.
I'm glad that you also think it could be a trap, it's quite obvious after they beat the LA Lakers and they are just -3.5 against a PG less Clippers, of course, it will attract a lot of bets and I guess I'm riding without on this thing.

What we saw yesterday was the last game of this year. I hope you guys enjoy the games you watched and I hope also that some of you won your bets.

Next game will be next year January 5, 2022

1st- Magnolia vs Bossing
2nd- Alaska vs Bolts.

https://pba.ph/

Maybe they understand that we have a lot of expenses this holiday season and they don't want to spend it on gambling so they decided to resume next year, LOL. Anyway, I guess Magnolia will continue winning and Blackwater Bossing will continue losing, this is a no brainer, bet on Magnolia to win whatever the point spread is.

I go with you with that, Magnolia have deeper squad and the chance of covering whatever handicap the bookies will provide still good pick for them.
If the spread will start at -10.5, I will definitely take the Magnolia hotshots. I guess that's going to be the lowest spread as Magnolia is a good team, and we saw that when they recently dominated the Ginebra San Miguel.

While with Alaska and Bolts I like to backup the Aces, I want to see them winning and have a good shot in the next round.

Though Bolts is not an easy opponent to beat, I'll check it back it's a long vacation, enjoy the rest of the holidays.. Wink

Both are good teams so it's hard to decide, but I think I'll fade you on this particular game.
Going for Meralco here.  Smiley
