I guess the bull run will be over soon, everyone is already into it, this giant media is now being bullish on bitcoin with some unrelialistic short term prices, it will more attract investors to come in and joined the FOMO train, I can't imagine how bad the correction here.  Angry
3002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 09, 2021, 09:29:17 PM
Such a nice win from Dallas last night and I'm glad Bucks have lost just because this guys are the most unpredictable team from NBA ...when they have odd 1.15 they will lose or simply win by 2 points or they will lose dramatically since 1st quarter  but when they have odd over 2.30 they somehow manage to win...and this road keep going on for them even in Play-offs as we all remember the play-offs from last summer where Bucks were winning games that suppose to lose and lose games that were supposed to win.

Anyway, today I'm still thinking about the games but so far I like Pacers and Boston ML.

Dallas were the absolute favourite (in terms of odds also) in this game as Giannis was still injured. Doncic (27 pts, 9 reb, 9 ast) and Porzingis (26 pts, 17 reb) were really great in this one.
Dallas won the game,  they lose a game prior to that so they just come back. It's the best chance of beating bucks now that Giannis are out.
Bucks will again play against the Charlotte, I think they'll also loss this one.

Tonight, GSW are hosting Wizards. I'm thinking of betting on GSW with a 1.5 odd. I trust them as Curry will be playing.
He will be playing of course, but is it enough for them to dominate the Wizards?
Well, since you are taking the ML, maybe that gives a better chance to win though, so good luck mate.
3003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 09, 2021, 09:08:20 PM
Nets are seen as the best team in the league by way too many people. I end up thinking have you guys never watched NBA before to talk so sure about everything.

Sounds like an NBA pro analyst lol. Of course, people will think of the Nets as the best team in the league for an obvious reason.

The injury you are talking about is just another advanced speculation.

We can counter your statement with another what if, which is the other way around - what if no injury will happen? Just wait for the Playoffs to Finals as no one knows here, even the top analyst, what will happen in the future.

Injury is possible but at least we've seen the nets playing without a one or two of their star player and they are still winning, that's their advantage because they have 3 star players and if one is down, they are still a good team. We've seen the win streak of the Nets when Durant was still resting due to injury, I guess that's enough to prove that even Harden and Irving could carry this team.
3004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Table games VS slots on: April 09, 2021, 11:41:29 AM
Table games is better for me, slots will just take away your money easily that's why I don't usually play longer on it. With table games, you can play a lot of games where you can master, poker and black jack is the most popular but I believe poker gives better chance to gamblers that's why it's the most favorite.

There are plenty of games available online now, they are fun, but as a real gambler, we should look on the chances of winning more than anything else.
3005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will crypto sportsbook replace fiat sportsbook in the future? on: April 09, 2021, 10:53:25 AM
Unfortunately, these advantages are gradually fading away due to the fact that the entire crypto comes under the control of corporations and regulatory authorities. In fact, it makes no difference which tool you use if you are completely controllable and transparent at key points.
By the way, how many casinos do you know that use Monero?
I disagree with you, you can still find many sportsbooks like Stake.com for example without KYC. And you don't need Monero or another anonymous coin to stay anonymous. You can use mixers, coinjoins or send your transaction through an exchange with no KYC : you just need to send your BTCs to the exchange and change your BTCs into another cryptocurrency accepted by the sportsbook (ETH, LTC, DOGE, BCH, XRP, TRX, EOS are available on Stake). And if the sportsbook is crap and only accepts BTC you still can do that by using 2 exchanges, on the first you will convert your BTCs into an altcoin that you will send to the other exchange and there you will convert the altcoin into BTC before sending it to the BTC sportsbook. Hence there is no transaction on the blockchain linking your wallet to the sportsbook.

I did not say that there is no longer any way to remain anonymous. I talked about trends - and the fact is that with the arrival of large players in the cryptocurrency, the rules are tightened and the entire industry is moving towards the fiat world. That is why real tools of anonymity (such as Monero) are being squeezed out from everywhere.


We just have to enjoy the moment that regulation in crypto is not so strict yet, with the kind of adoption we are hoping, it always come with strict regulation as whether we like it or not, our regulators will always enter in the scene, making crypto not serving its real purpose which is anonymity.
3006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Cotto vs Marquez - Exhibition match on: April 09, 2021, 04:34:22 AM
I have spare of 250$ this May so i think i'll be saving this for the fight . though I'm not a fan of exhibition fights but i guess this one is worth betting.

That's a decent bet already, I'm also interested on betting in this fight but until now i could not find the betting odds. I will not bet right away but it's nice to see the betting odds early so we will have an idea on who is the favorite and underdog of the fight.

Is the deal for this fight already sealed? I guess the odds will come out soon if this fight proceeds. But this is still scheduled two months from now so there is still enough time left for you to wait for the odds and decide which is the fighter to stake your money on.

I also think 250$ is big enough. Remember that this is just a friendly match. But it is up to you of course. It is your money anyway.

That depends on OP's budget, it's an exhibition fight but betting is betting, you can put any amount that you can afford to lose, that would add up some excitement because its necessary for us who love to gamble and love the sport. $250 is big for others but for others it's just a small amount, we have different financial status, so we feel differently.

One problem with exhibition fights however is that there is a chance for its result to be a draw no matter how lopsided the decision could be. This is an exhibition fight and they would probably make it last up to 12 rounds just like Tyson and Jones exhibition fight. If it was a real title fight, it wouldn't last up to 12 rounds knowing Tyson would throw his uppercut from down under with all his weight and up.

This fight Cotto vs Marquez exhibition could also end a draw as well as its made for the audience to enjoy the signature fighting style.

Of course its possible, but DRAW does not happen all the time, if you are unlucky you'll loss your bet, that's reality in gambling. If fans would be watching this and promoters are making good money, then I guess they'll put a script to end this in a draw so there will be another fight.

Exhibtion fights has less credibility compared to actual fight, so cheating or rigging the fight is possible.

That sucks. Why do Schroder have to shoot that last lay up?
Just dribble the ball and let the time be consumed. Could've covered the spread.
Morris thrown out. Oladipo on the brink of finding out his injury just came back. Fingers crossed.
Heat paid a lot and risked everything to sign him up.
Sometimes things that are unexpected happens, tough loss? sorry man, I hope this next game you'll win.
Oladipo was playing well here, I hope he'll continue bringing some impact to the team, he needs to be healthy in the playoffs.

Up next: Clippers vs Suns
Clippers here.. What's your pick?
3008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: See why most bounty hunters get scammed on: April 08, 2021, 05:56:14 PM
You nailed the very reason, lots of bounty hunters act like bot, they register and start doing the job without evealuating the proejct first and the team behind the project, so if they'll scam they will complain but they failed to realize that they help the scammers scam money from investors so they could be an accessory to the crime since they are promoting a scam project without them knowing. As a bounty hunter, knowing the project whethet its legit or not is a must and must be a priority more than anything else.

That's your analysis so better go with it.

You see the potential of exchange coins, then invest on them.
It's not necessarily that all of them will succeed, let's be real, but at least if some of them will grow 50 to 100 times, that woudl mean big profit on your investment. So I would say it's a great analysis, time to implement your plan and good luck.
3010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull run is over? on: April 08, 2021, 01:32:02 PM
I believe Bitcoin will continue to trade sideways in the coming months, but this does not mean the bull run is over. The Bitcoin price will continue to grow at any moment, and I am confident that we will see $100,000 by the end of the year.

I don't doubt what you are saying if bitcoin could hit $ 100K by the end of the year but I personally think that the 100K price tag will come by the middle of the year if Bitcoin is able to cross the $ 65K wall, it's currently around $ 58K bitcoin price and in fact I see every times bitcoin will reach a price of $ 59- $ 60K there is always a correction in the price of bitcoin, causing the price of bitcoin to fall back down.
100k price prediction is so absurd for right now, that is why as you said BTC can not get more than 60k and it is currently around 55-60k. If BTC can break this price, maybe there can be a chance to reach 100k in the future. But l think it is so early to speak something about that. No doubt when BTC sees this price, altcoins will start also getting up and most altcoins will be higher than gold.

I would not say that, you know how fast bitcoin has pumped, so $100k is not impossible for short term target. Bitcoin is staying at a bullish range, if it will not pump anymore, it should have dump already but still we are at 57k, close to $60k which are the range bitcoin has been moving for now.

Based on what I noticed in the past bull run, you can't be bearish in bull market and there's no ceiling at the moment, so make it a possibility.

With the high fees of bitcoin and ETH now, it's not ideal for gamblers with small capital, so I voted for DOGE as the fee is reasonable for small time gambler and you can make transactions as many as you want without hurting your pocket.
3013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think the price of BNB will go above $ 300? on: April 08, 2021, 07:40:18 AM
The price of the BNB shot up to $ 387 on CoinMarketCap. I think it's a great improvement over BNB. This is one of the important points for BNB to acquire if BNB deserves to be one of the top 10 crypto members. But hopefully the BNB can be consistent and the price of the BNB and BB can still increase every time

The next question now is will BNB reach $500?

I guess BNB is starting to become a threat on ETH because it's pumping fast while ETH is already stagnant at $2k although it already pumped hard in this bull run. BNB keep rising and we know how smart CZ is, maybe he still has this big surprises that he will announce soon which would make BNB to be more bullish and reach that price.
3014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BNB still undervalue on: April 07, 2021, 10:57:58 PM
As it is an exaggerated value, it will be pulled back months or years after the fact. The crypto market can characterize the overbought definition that can be totally different than in financial exchange. Binance brilliant chain which can influence the cost as needs be the way individuals lots to it. In any case, as I would see it the cost will in any case increment in the long haul since now Binance set up themselves and furthermore bringing parcel of new turns of events.

Everything will depend on whether the BSC network holds its place or not. If the Commissions in the Ethereum network fall to a minimum, which is quite likely, then there are risks that the BSC will no longer be so attractive.
However, I am sure that CZ Binance has its own plan in this regard, so I absolutely bet on BNB.

But at the current price, I guess its already overvalued because of the bull run and we should be careful with that especially if we are just aiming for short term investment. For long term, obviously its undervalued as BNB could compete with ETH in the long run but I would not ride at the FOMO, wait for the right timing to accumulate if you are a new investor. Problem is, with the FOMO, everyone is riding at a bad timing. 
3015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 07, 2021, 10:44:37 PM
Golden State is a great team, and they still do have Curry and Klay and Draymond in long term contracts so their future will be good for like at least 5 more years if you ask me, maybe Draymond will become worse but that's about it, curry and klay do not play style of basketball that would get worse. In the end they will be good but there are two players that I am not sure about on that team which I think may need to leave.
A healthy GSW can still compete with the current NBA rosters. Draymond Green's game is just complementary with Curry and Klay. Without them he'd look just like a mediocre player. If the GSW could keep these 3 main guy in the franchise (I know they have like long term contracts, but trades are possible) they could still regain the strength of their team by acquiring more pieces that fits to their style of play.


But it's just unfortunate that one of the big piece is down, Klay is one of the big reason why GSW are succesful and we didn't see him in full one season beacuse he was injured during the practice, that only tells that Klay might be so fragile that anytime he can be injured when he comes back.
If he sees like that on himself then what would be the solution on being fragile? He should make it more stronger because if we do tend to look at on other not so muscle-type physique
but they do able to play up themselves safely even though risk of injury is there but they do able to handle it out.Why cant he?

I agree on what Oasisman said that if GSW would tend to put up those 3 again on the team then they can really give a fight with this current season.



There are players that after they suffered an injury they were never the same again.

Look at Derrick Rose and Cousins, they are not 100% the same when they come back from major injury, and Thompson's injury is considered as major as he is out for a season, so let's hope he will recover soon and be 100% healthy again. Me, I don't want to speculate much but I agree that they are a good team if the big 3 is playing, they have the chemistry, all of them can lead their team to more wins...

Also, we have to understand that they are not getting any younger, next season, another uncertain outcome for them and let's see if there would be no trades going to happen.
3016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING POLL ADDED] FURY vs JOSHUA: A Two Fight Deal Has Already Been Signed !! on: April 07, 2021, 10:30:07 PM
^^ Exactly, I don't see how Floyd will be helpful to Joshua in any matter.

Can he teach old dogs new tricks? Mayweather's style is very different from Joshua, what advise would he give? Just run around and play defence? It won't work as Fury is a very technical fighter himself. If Mayweather is a heavyweight then maybe he can give some tips, but he is in on the lower division, very different style of fighting.

Maybe Joshua thought that his current strategy would not work against Fury, that's why he look to improve or change it with Mayweather's style. We never know but for sure if they'll get Mayweather to train him, we will see a big changes on how Joshua will fight in the ring and we don't know if it would work or not until we see it.

Then improved his strategy, talk to the trainers and I'm sure his trainers are more well experience in creating a perfect plan to defeat Fury instead of getting Floyd and train with him and adopt his style because it really doesn't work specially for Joshua's size.

And it might Joshua worst if he adopts Floyd's style, improvement shows in your career, not just in just one fight.

We don't know what's in their mind but let's hope they will not make a stupid decision as this is the biggest fight of Joshua although a rematch is already part of the contract, but winning the first fight is a big lead so no pressure in the rematch or if he win in 1st, loss in 2nd, at least we will see a trilogy.

@morvillz7z.. I like the bulls here, I'm riding with your pick. The win against the Brooklyn Nets could give them a momentum to start winning again. Pacers are short handed so probably they have a good chance of winning here, even on the road. Line opened at -1.5 Pacers, now the coin was flip, it's Pacers -2 and that's another thing to consider that Bulls could actually win here.

Vucevic should get another double double here while LaVine stays consistent.

Good luck!
3018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: April 06, 2021, 10:36:17 PM
I think we can safely say that knowing teams you play for or against helps a lot. Considering football, you are gonna be sure who will be on pitch and who won't be. You know which players are in good shape. You will know tactics managers regularly use. Guessing score will be lot more easier.
It does.

You know that those teams you're looking at with your knowledge in that sport really help you with what teams to bet on. But it's not enough if you want to have that safety that you've mentioned because there will always be those changes and news.

If a good news that comes to the team that's about to have their game, you understand that the odds changes and favor is on them.

Whether there is changes or none, it would still not guarantee you a win because sports is also a game of chance. Upset is possible, your team looks healthy and they are in a winning streak but suddenly they loss against a bad team, that could happen as its normal in sports.

Sports betting means betting on chances, favorites has higher chances but with these betting odds (handicap or point spread) in place, it will not be easy for us to decide. Of coruse you can go with ML but favorites only has small odds.

Maybe the money that they will earn will be put on their respective charities. So everything will be good in the end.

That's boxing for a cause, I like that, but I guess the intensity of the fight will be affected as they know themselves that they will not get anything from the fight because it will just be donated to charities, sometimes boxers are greedy, they want to make more so giving it to charity is not usual though not rare.

We don't know yet if they are boxing for a cause, actually it's not necessary to use the advertisement for charity, they can just fight and ,make money, afterwards they can just donate to the charity, everything is done!.....

What I'm seeing here is they need a promoter and promoter will finance the fight, and of course, just like a usual business, promoters need to ensure they'll be in profit in this fight.
