There are no Boxing Bets for Stake.com or maybe this is on the special events I don't know,
We will know as the fight is getting closer.

well it is obvious that Ben Askren can dominate Jake Paul in the ring event though this is not the usual octagon Askren perform from, I think that Askren had that experience base on his previous fights in the Octagon and I think he had some training as well with boxing, But there is this vibe that I am feeling that Jake Paul might surprise us but it will sure dependent on his training.

What is obvious is that  Jake Paul will dominate based on the betting odds, this is boxing and its not UFC, so it's a differnet fight and Jake Paul has an advantage as he has won his previous fights. This is like a Mayweather vs Mcgreggor, but maybe the outcome is not the same.
2962  Economy / Speculation / Re: The power of Bitcoin HODLing on: April 01, 2021, 10:08:29 PM
This thread is motivation to all people around the world who still don't trust the power of holding. Many people still choose to become traders rather than holders, even with so many facts that holders always wins, but they still cant become a holder. I think many people less patience, this is the main culprit
That is really a mirroring of what we do in the past years but that is how we choose to sell it because, in the first place, we haven't to know yet that this will happen. Can't see it in the crystal ball and that is why people will sell their Bitcoin when they feel it was the best price to make a good profit. There is no problem with that and even we take this as a lesson for us but can't tell that everyone will not do the hold because I know that not all have that kind of market perceptions and selling still visible.
2963  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I tried to tell him just HODL bitcoin, don't make this hard. on: April 01, 2021, 09:46:30 PM
He is not actually your friend because he never listens to you, he has been brag about his emotions and the worries that it dump.
Well, that is his decision and we don't need to make it a big deal, He can do anything with them because that is his money.

We will know that not all the crypto investors are willing to hold and the person you know online is one of them. It is a life, weak hands can't stop thinking negatively and that is why they often sell immediately once they saw the market price is peaking up even though it is not already reaching the high level.
2964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17 on: April 01, 2021, 11:06:15 AM
Definitely rooting for Ben Askren in this fight, kinda feeling sick of the Paul brothers & the constant whoring they do all over social media. It’s annoying & I’d love to see one of them KO’d ASAP.

haha.. I feel the same, lol..

Any update about the betting odds of this fight, is it available already in our favorite sportsbook in the forum?

Saw the odds here

I know but there should be a more specific reason, and not just the reason that in the long run it will rise.

I already get it, I read some information about the project and I'm glad I was able to promote the campaign even in just 1 week.
Sold mine, and I guess I'll wait until it will fall down again, if possible.

I will continue to participate in the subscription campaign until it ends, I hope this will not happen soon, although if the price continues to grow, then who knows. I have not sold the coins yet, I think that the price is still too low for so many coins in circulation and given the stated halving every year, it is very undervalued. Smiley

That's a real holder, not selling even if the price is already high.

It's already x10 of the low price I witnessed and it could still rise more as the supply is really cheap.
1$ is just a minimum which I think with continues development, price will increase more, more so if big exchange will list BGL.

Per report, he only played 14 minutes, I hope the injury is not serious though, it's not good to see Lakers their big man is down and the big 3 will be out in the game. I hope he will come back soon as this is just a toe issue.

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/lakers-andre-drummond-exits-with-toe-issue/
This kind of issues should be addressed quickly because this is detrimental for players I mean there should have been a revolutionary technology to prevent this kind of sports injury in basketball. Drummond is a really good player and the fact that his toe is the reason that he will be playing for less makes me think of the Achilles heel.

They have the most advance technology but no one could predict an injury since this is a contact sport, it's just unfortunate that he was injurd in his debut with the Lakers but I believe that his injury is not a season ending injury.
2967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Tried futures trading for the first time on: March 31, 2021, 10:54:24 PM
Okay so I have decided to make some small risks by putting an amount that I can afford to lose in futures trading. Right now, I am choosing the ETH/USDT pairing and I declared it short 5x with 30% stop loss. Still learning the ropes of futures trading since I am not totally contented with just copy trading only. I did gained with copy trading, but I would like to learn how to self-gain it myself with my own decisions in futures trading.

I am not gonna close my trade yet until I’m finally into profit or it reaches the SL amount, coz’ right now it’s still at a loss. I would definitely try futures trading everyday than just spot trading, at least this could add up to my learning especially some TAs, etc.
I give you the support here. Trying new isn't a bad idea but this an opportunity to learn something and to say if this future trading is ideal for all traders or for the experts only. And since you are prepared for the possible losses, that won't worry you so much.

I would suggest you use other altcoins instead of ETH as the price is already high. May a choice of growing project will be good, there's a lot of them.

But anyway, this is just like a game, we sometimes win and sometimes lose. Whatever it happens later is also a big help for us to know our limitation.
Well, good luck and hope you will enjoy it.
2968  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin adoption isn't stopping on: March 31, 2021, 10:23:54 PM
The future of bitcoin is still uncertain, but the latest developments from various well-known companies have started claiming to use bitcoin as a transaction tool such as Tesla and PayPal, and the US central bank which is also called The Federal Reserve recently issued a statement they will issue digital currency.
I think bitcoin adoption will continue to grow and what we are seeing, bitcoin users continue to increase from all walks of life.
Absolutely...
Bitcoin adoption had no reason to stop and that it keeps spreading. This huge market adoption from the known companies and influential people will brag more for the others to do as well. Like this banks have the option to take the risk (and I believe it is a must for now) or otherwise, they will be left behind. And this kind of change is a part of the economic and market innovation that could give benefits to everyone.

What do you think about Gobert, Mitchell and Clarkson? as I'm telling, they cannot just underestimate this team. They might look not so strong but they're proving themselves.

But yeah, being #1 at the standings doesn't mean that they'll be the champion but, the reason why they're on the top because they're playing well.
No doubt. Chemistry wise, you cannot fool around when it is the Jazz you are up against.
These teams are the contenders against a strong Nets if ever they will meet in the Finals.

They already show how good their chemistry each and they know whats their role to the team so I conclude that Jazz will still win eventhough Nets have superteam, Chemistry is so important to win the champ and we don't see yet on how the 5 stars click one team so maybe lets see on how the ball rotate when 5 of them plays on the hardcourt.

I'll look forward to that, Nets is a superteam, so they'll probably play better in the playoffs. Jazz are good in the regular season but they will be tested in the playoffs, like what happen to them in the last playoffs where they allow the Nuggets to come back from 1-3 deficit, hopefully it will not happen anymore so their good start will also have a good finish.
2970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: March 31, 2021, 11:46:42 AM
Still, in progress and not finalized but sources stating recently the target date and location, the fight might actually happen.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/31167314/manny-pacquiao-terence-crawford-talks-june-fight

I will give it a 50% chance that it will happen. Once we see Manny Pacquiao on the news that he goes back in hard practice, we already know it's now final.
Yes, probably 50% chance and perhaps Pacquiao is also looking for other fighters if the fight with Crawford didn't go. Manny is a senator and for sure he is one of the most hardworking Philippine senator, but once he committed himself to fight again, for sure he will give his 110% best as we all know that he wants to fight his young guys around and bet their ass.

We don't know his performance as a senator but boxing has always been his passion so we like to see him fighting again. Manny vs Crawford is going to be a big fight, Manny will be the underdog and this is what makes the fight more interesting.

Not final yet, we are just speculating but updating it is necessary, so thanks for those who continue updating this thread.
2971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which plan seems better? on: March 30, 2021, 09:37:05 PM
100% BTC and HODL. in the past I hold large amounts of altcoins (incl. eth, ripple etc.). at the end today i have at least 5 times less the amount of BTC I would have if I just stick to BTC from the beginning. now I am 100% in BTC. just relax and HODL until price reach what is enough for you.
Use either Ledger or Tresor. I use Ledger Nano S personally since prices start to become too high more than 3 years before.
If you hear this saying "never put all your eggs in one basket", probably you will think that spreading your funds to 2-3 coins is safer than having Bitcoin alone. Well, of course, it is your decision and that I believe also that you are already prepared for the incoming. Because if the price of Bitcoin will dump, you will definitely at lose, unlike if you are investing 2-3 different coins, the others will save you from that particular situation.
2972  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing only for the rich? Think again on: March 30, 2021, 09:05:57 PM
Anyone can be an investor, rich or not doesn't mean much, agreed the rich have better opportunity to invest in any company they chose to invest on because of their huge capital, but there are opportunities for none rich people too, all you need is know the right place to invest on.

Rich or not means a lot Wink It even rhymes!

The rich can invest more without fear which means they don't suffer such a big loss, they aren't scared and can sleep well, they buy a larger piece so they make more money when it goes up.
It's much harder to become poor when you're rich than rich when you're poor.

You're right that we all can invest but don't say that it doesn't matter how much money we have because it does.
But this only applies to rich people that are business-minded. I'm really not sure for these coming generations, these young minds will think that way as their rich parents think differently from them.

Rich people can really afford to lose their money with no worries, that is their advantage, and they never afraid to try again if they failed to succeed on their first try. May some will think that poor people can also do business if they want to, yeah, they can but the challenge is that it really needs patient for their business to grow because of their capital which is a big factor that could affect the result of their business. But, rich people can start with a huge amount and they can make a huge profit then, and it is too far for poor people to do that which is really true that good business is only for rich people.
2973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 29, 2021, 02:07:49 PM
Any early picks?

Here you go.

Game : Portland Trail Blazers vs Toronto Raptors

I can't decide on what team to bet, the line seems so tricky to me and even the other games since games are only limited.
I'm not forcing this one, I just love to bet on the total as these 2 teams will surely give us an entertaining night.

Therefore my pick is over 228.5.. an OT is also possible, betting also on that. Good luck.


Thank you @stadus, I followed your pick and won my bet. I was confident that it will win because you are currently on win streak.
Will still be riding with your pick next time, riding while your hot.  Grin

You're welcome, I was lucky again and I'm glad you also win, don't worry I will be posting my pick later, hopefully my win streak will continue.

We have 11 games, as usual I'll only pick the best game for me.

I'm waiting for that pick, I have a feeling that the streak will continue, so I'll definitely would not doubt your pick whatever game you'll predict.

Hopefully this game ( Milwaukee vs L.A. Clippers)?
2974  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin back to $ 10,000? on: March 29, 2021, 01:58:03 PM
It will be very unfortunate if this really happens, some strong hands and institution support this Bitcoin rally.

As long as we hold above $45,000 everything looks very strong to me, we already faced couple of correction but until now BTC survive.

So, I'm not sure if we're going to correct that point. I HODL most of the time for the long term, so don't care anything.
And as long as these new investors now don't get stupid to get panic and dump their Bitcoin, it definitely we will never go back there.
To see the market sentiment, I'm too confident that it never reaches back to $10k again.

And as I look into the chart posted above, this helps us to have some insight of what possible the price we are going to expect even the huge dump to come again. And that might happen we will just to experience a short time in the bearish season compared to the previous years.

Not that they are stupid, they can dump by manipulating the price while they can still consider it as a good opportunity for them to accumulate, that's what whales do, they make opportunity in any market situation, while most of us panic during the dump.
2975  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: price action trading on: March 28, 2021, 09:50:14 PM
I have a friend who is doing this right now, he is doing it in a defi token and he checks the people with most coins and he checks what they are doing and he has increased his token number from 13 to 35 I believe. He is making a decent amount of money from each action and he knows what price will do before it does it based on what people are doing with their tokens. Like let's say it was locked in LP but got unlocked, he sells and after that person who unlocked sells, and he buys from there, that is the type of moves he made for 3 days now and have nearly triple of what he used to have.

This is why I think this method works, I wouldn't be capable of doing it, but I still think it is quite obvious that we are talking about a good amount of profit here as well. Of course, it is going to take a long time for anyone to learn this but I rather just not risk it.
I find it a better option to focus on one coin and do the trading with it. Knowing all fundamentals and what is going on in the project with technical analysis it can be a success.
If you just only focus a single coin on trading, it only bored you honestly. Maybe as a starter but if you are already fully engaged in trading, it is really hard to just sit there and wait for the price to dump and buy, then sell when it pumps.

I would say that trading can be a game of chance and luck. Because in the first place, not all technical analysis works, and not all the time the market gives us a favor. It is sometimes we are lucky to sell at high and perfectly sold it on time.
2976  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How did YOU start trading in bitcoin? on: March 27, 2021, 11:46:02 PM
Hello everyone!  Grin
I am a starting player at the BTCitcoin trading world- haven't bought any yet.
 Just a young man looking for investing his money from high school, and I don't know where to start! Smiley

How did you start trading in bitcoin?
How could I do that too?
Do you have any tips for begginers?
 
 Huh


Happy 2021 -Tzutzik
Since you are in High School, it could really hard to focus on trading which is very important when you are doing this. It finds difficult for you as a beginner and that also you have school activities that you have to comply with. I could suggest to you is to watch online tutorials and videos where you can get an idea of how it works, make prepare your self before you start.

In your situation, this could I say suggest to you, BUY, HOLD, and SELL. This is not the time for you to engage in trading.
I wish you come back in here and read what the members are suggesting to you.
2977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: March 26, 2021, 09:33:07 PM
Both has a point about the fees and as well as keeping it on our private wallets. If you're too conscious for the fees, you wait until the fee goes down.
But if you value your coin and you want to transfer it to your own wallet and don't care about the fee, you do it.
Some campaigns pay you through a personal address, but others pay through their platforms. I am working for a platform that make payment through their platform. This will cost me a little money for withdrawal fees. Personally, I prefer to receive payments through my personal address, as it is easier to manage  Wink
Oh yeah, that's another case that you're going to deal with. Some really are paying into their own platforms and that will cost you another amount for the fees.
They might have the fixed price fees as you want to transfer that to your own wallet.
There's always a way to minimize the fee, if you are receiving bitcoin in your personal wallet or wallet such as electrum, then you should not withdraw everytime you receive your reward, maybe do it once in a month, that way you won't feel the transaction fee.

I'm paying like 1us  to 2 usd per transaction, and I think its okay as it could confirm in less than 24 hours, but I do it with timing when the network is not too congested and the fee will drop a bit.
2978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake bets on: March 26, 2021, 09:18:09 PM
...
What do you think?
it's a marketing trick and it's an old trick to attracting users...
tricks like this are no longer a secret, when the audience sees the video, the audience will automatically be motivated to following the streamer. from 100 viewers, there will be 30-40 viewer who tries to do what the streamer has done, this trick is successful and has proven effective in being tried in various businesses, not just gambling.

No doubt about that, I'm sure this is not strange to people who are constantly gambling and understands how the business runs, operators will always find a way to attract customers, though for some it's cheating but it's just an speculation and no site or business has ever been convicted for fake bets, or whatsoever kind related to it.
2979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is now a GOOD or BAD time to invest? on: March 26, 2021, 03:34:46 PM
Many were saying that every time in crypto is good for investment but stand it wrong.

Bullish season - correspond to high risk as it possible that price will turn back down again
Bearish season - corresponds to low-risk and it possible for a high gain as it has a chance that the price will do the skyrocket just like today.

If you are asking Good or Bad. A will say that it is not really great to start but of course, it's up to you then if you can carry over the risk. I know that some people do the same but I would suggest not to make a long-term holding this time. You probably know why as I've mentioned above.
2980  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far below $10k in 2021? on: March 26, 2021, 03:20:55 PM
Given the facts of the current state of affairs, problematic global economies and the current looming pandemic. Seeing bitcoin drop to under 10k usd in 2021 would be somewhat surprising.
Yet surprising and it looks impossible.
No wonder why some people would like to ask when it dumps? It is very unfortunate that the market seems to be in favor of the holders, not the dumpers.

Even the price will dump someday, I was not thinking that it goes back to the dip low again. As we look at the chart, we can see that there is no such huge change happen. From $50k it dumps to $30k plus, and it has given no chance to drop below $20k, instead, it rises back strong and making all the way to the new ATH.
