Just only be sure that you arent risking the amounts that you cant afford to lose and you are still not compromising your life savings or emergency funds.
Exactly, otherwise, we are changing the principle of gambling, we are only supposed to gamble our excess funds but if we risk our life savings or emergency funds it's like we are risking our future for gambling which we don't know we will be successful or not. Financial management is necessary, but only up to the amount that we allocate in gambling and it should only be a small amount from our total savings or income. |

so they need the service specialty of Simmon which is the defense and I'm sure the Warriors will develop him to be one of the elite NBA players.
They need Simmons to be in the playoffs, but if Simons will choke as he did with the last playoffs, then I think the Warriors will regret acquiring him for one of their best players. However, I'm optimistic too that the Warriors management will not make a bad decision, Simmons is still young, they can still develop him to be a better player and play with the GSW culture effectively. Let's make this deal to be finalized yet before we make speculation, one thing is sure is that the 76ers will let go of Simon as he is not improving for a player that receives a good contract with them. Warriors is a championship team, Simmons playing with the unselfish team will make him better, with Curry's ability to shoot as one of the deadliest 3 pointers, I think the inside will be more open and that's where Simmons could penetrate. His weakness is only the Free throw, or probably a little bit of a "low IQ" problem, but that can fix over time if he is willing to learn. |

They have also Marc Gasol, another big men who has experienced as well, and a threat to the outside. He didn't get a good exposure last season, but I'm sure Vogel will insert him if needed as we have seen in the playoffs against the Suns as he hit crucial 3. They let go of Caruso, but added Ariza to play the defense for them against shooting guards of the opposing team.
Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about Marc Gasol. So yeah, they are really filled with Giants.  In terms of speed, I think Westbrook and Schroder will be ideal for it and they were teammates, right? Did Schroder reach WB when he was still at OKC? But the only problem is, Schroder turned down the $84M extension. Which means? He doesn't like playing with WB? Or is it Lebron? https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/dennis-schroder-is-running-out-of-options-on-free-agent-market-after-turning-down-an-84-million-extension/Where would this dude fall? What team does have the cap to fill for him? He will be out with the Lakers, he was only there to prove his value and I think he will be able to land a good team. I'm not sure what teams really need a good point guard, but as of today's standard, PG is now bigger while Schroder is short, so a team would only give him a max contract if they sees him like CP3 and Trae Young. And there's a rumor, maybe he would fit with the Knicks. https://lakersnation.com/lakers-rumors-knicks-most-likely-to-land-dennis-schroder/2021/08/02/The Los Angeles Lakers have a lot of moving parts in NBA free agency, with a number of their main rotation pieces being free agents this summer. The biggest name among those is point guard Dennis Schroder who refused a contract extension to experience free agency for the first time in his career. If they like a healthy and talented Point guard, they should go with Dennis Schroder. Though I can't say that he is a superstar but I'm sure Dennis Schroder is an underrated player. His numbers are consistent and he can provide offense for the team if needed. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/schrode01.htmlWith regards to the contract, not sure he will get bigger than what the Lakers had offered him. |

Nicolas Batum showed good sportsmanship. “Nicolas Batum told me he hates playing against me”: Luka Doncic calls the France star a ‘class act’ following Slovenia defeat at Tokyo 2020Luka Doncic shows his admiration for Nicolas Batum after France defeats Slovenia to advance to face off against USA and calls Batum a ‘class act’.
Luka Doncic and his perfect streak of being undefeated in international play has officially ended after Slovenia fell to France, 90-89. France will now advance to face off against Team USA in a bout that will decide who wins Gold at Tokyo 2020 while Slovenia will square off against Patty Mills and the Boomers in a game that will settle who wins Bronze.
The entirety of the Slovenia-France game saw Luka Doncic dominate in an extremely Luka-eque way. Though he merely shot 5-18 from the field, the shots he made were reminiscent of the ones he drains while on the Mavericks: step-back, high arcing shots from beyond the arc. However, the story of the night for Doncic was his playmaking. Luka feels bad but with this kind of opponent, it will ease what he feels and the entire team as well. They will come back next Olympics, Luka is still young, hopefully he is fully healthy that time. |

Good for them. It was eventual as cryptos can't be resisted and when the people are with the crypto industry then they can't resist. They tried, all the institutions and govts tried, but they have to surrender. Bitcoin and crypto are here to stay.
The only ones that will benefit from these ban lifting is probably the scam websites that are actively making their sites on top or advertised. i don't know if I'll be happy about this or not but this is definitely not an entirely good news for me. Well, I hope that someone from the team will be able to filter all crypto sites that want to promote before it published as these scammers and scam sites will surely take advantage. But I think that Google is already aware of this possible scenario and this is not only happening to crypto ads. Strict rules must be implemented to stop the spread of fake and scam sites, and this will add loads for the team. |

Investors lose money because they enters and exit the market at wrong time, poor financial management and also lack of proper knowledge related to assets they are all investing.
Entering and exiting the market can easily be solved because you just need to be good and smart at trading. Poor financial management can be learned too. I think there's a reason that everyone can't avoid and that is the fact that trading isn't for everyone. It is a need for us to think not only the positive things but also the negative ones as I see that most of us are neglected to do that nor it comes into our mind due to some excitements. I could say that not all investors are knowledgeable, they might just encourage to invest in crypto as maybe one of his/her friends tell them but they are not able to tell the truth about crypto. In this case, it was not a big surprise why we lose, to come into the market without any knowledge is just like suicide. |

I wish I could be offered to have BTC payment for my office job but it was impossible this time as the use of Bitcoin is not known in our country nor it was widely accepted by the major establishments. In this case, I'd preferred to get paid in fiat, not because I have no choice but it is due to the volatility of its value. In fact, this is one reason why merchants don't have the courage to take risks from this as knowing that due to unpredictable changes in its value.

as i know that crypto influencers, big whale, elon musk etc. massive support can certainly affect the price of coins including Ethereum itself. for me personally try my luck on the hype even though I don't fully believe it, but there's nothing wrong with trying to enter and exit after getting a profit.
if you want to try investing, don't suppose to do that during the hypes. I tell you why? Coz that is not a good time buying/accumulating coins in the market, even you are only investing ETH alone or BTC, remember that dump is inevitable and you can't just simply ignore that. I suggest you wait for a while when the market will drop again, that was the best time to do it. This surge isn't for a long-time trend, in fact, we are started to drop. Don't rush into the market, even you have money and even that you can afford to lose them, you should also think and spend it wisely. |

It looks like Spain is not lucky, considering that they will play against the USA in the quarter-finals. Regarding other teams, I guess France and Slovenia might be playing against each other in 1/2 finals. So the USA vs Slovenia match in the final is quite likely.
Yeah unliky for spain they will face usa which after the loss against france i dont think they will repeat that mistake again plus that was the first game they lose in their last three olympics so i think the only capable team to beat them are slovenia. Upsets do happen in Olympics as well, the fact that USA can be beaten by a lower ranking than Spain, I think Spain here also has a chance to upset the USA. Spain is currently +12.5 and +540 on ML in my sports bookie, I guess we will see lots of bettors here backing Spain. It happened before and it can happen again if team US will relax, Though for sure that last lost from France gives them the wake call that it's their country's pride that in stake, And yeah you are right Spain is also a good contender here, might bring much emotions trying to extend their chance for a possible semis. All in all, we have to wait for all those games and see who will advance. Good luck! I'm waiting for the outcome of the match, if USA can beat the Spain in a big margin, then I think USA will win this competition. Though France beat them at the start but I doubt they will ever face again as I think they'll not even reach the Finals. I think Italy will play well again, but France will reach the semi.
Looking for an upset here. |

This coming Wednesday, their record will surely increase to 2-4 as they will battle with the weakest team in the PBA, they will play the Terraferma DYIP who has not won a single game yet according to the current standing. https://pba.ph/standingsIt should be a big bounce back, they cannot be complacent here, if they have a big lead, they should still work hard to keep that lead and had a very dominant win. They need this win to feel back the aggressions, they are down now but still have that chance if they start winning those remaining games, though they are not the same Phoenix when abueva still playing with them, the impact of that guy is really big for every team that he played. They have the chance to win, it's just a matter of good execution that they are missing, but with DYIP, I doubt they'll lose against this worst team, however, the handicap might be too high as sportsbook knows people are betting on the Phoenix LPG to win. Look at the current stats of Magnolia as he really bring that same level, bringing good productions and the fighting spirit from each games that they are playing. Magnolia has more experienced players than the Phoenix, and they are the better team than the Phoenix so they are expected to be in a good ranking. The addition of Abueva only makes the team better but the effect of the Phoenix is bad. |

They are not always at the top, it's actually the USA who are always at the top and China is just at the top 3. last 2016 the Rio Olympics, we can see the medal tally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics_medal_tableRank NOC Gold Silver Bronze Total
1 United States (USA) 46 37 38 121
2 Great Britain (GBR) 27 23 17 67
3 China (CHN) 26 18 26 70 Great Britain was the surprise package last time, and they narrowly managed to defeat China. But this time, both the US and UK are doing poorly. It may be due to the COVID pandemic, or may be due to the different weather conditions. Overall, the European and American teams have performed badly this time. And this includes a few other teams, such as Russia, France, Germany and Canada. On the other hand, Asian teams have performed better than what was expected from them (China, Japan, Australia, South Korea.etc). It's time for the Asian countries now, Philippines got their first gold already and it looks like there are two gold to come coming from women's boxing and men's boxing, I'm very optimistic with that and I like what is happening as this big sports even are not only dominated by the Americans and Europeans, Asians now are competing pretty well. |

it seems like they are not using Perkins and Manuel's talents properly.
I don't see it that way. They did their best. It's just that they fell short and that was common even for a team that doing their very best. The game is close and no reason to looked at why they lose. TNT on the other hand also did their best that's why they were able to snatch the win. Phoenix has surely taken note of that loss. I am just not impressed anymore with Perkin's performance in their past games, Manuel I think was the best player of the game when they had their first win, that was the time when Wright did not play. I just hope I will see more of Perkin's defense and offense, especially his 3 point shooting. Maybe his production has dropped because they already have Manuel, but he has to be more aggressive and break this losing streak. They are now 1-4, this is not the same Phoenix I know. This coming Wednesday, their record will surely increase to 2-4 as they will battle with the weakest team in the PBA, they will play the Terraferma DYIP who has not won a single game yet according to the current standing. https://pba.ph/standingsIt should be a big bounce back, they cannot be complacent here, if they have a big lead, they should still work hard to keep that lead and had a very dominant win. |

I've been searching for the betting odds, finally, it's here.
However, I'm a bit disappointed because I was expecting that Nesthy Petecio will be an underdog here, it turns out he is the favorite to win the gold.
I'm not sure not if I'll take the 1.32 odds, but if would decide, maybe I'll just put a bet for fun.
Maybe because he has beaten the world champion in the early rounds of the event, and her last fight is quite impressive he already fought two tallest fighters,s and even if Sena beat him several times, we are seeing a different Petecio here, the Philippines is on its way to win their second gold I'm congratulating Nesthy Petecio this early. That's probably it, her journey is tougher so she is now the favorites. However, if she cannot knock out an opponent, we should watch out for the decision as her opponent came from the host country, if you know what I'm saying. |

When Bitcoin gets to a stage where the mined supply is basically 21m (that is, very little remaining btc left to be mined), will Bitcoin still remain a secure network?
if that is possible all 21mil total supply will be mined someday, it leaves us no choice but to share it all. And the fact that Bitcoin still exists in the hands of the holders (excluded those lost numbers) miners could still be compensated. Those Bitcoins that have been hacked still can be used but not sure those Bitcoin's have been seized by the authorities. What worrying scenario is that if all has been out of control or it wasn't used already. learning how to secure the remaining Bitcoins in the market is very important and we have to take some responsibility for it otherwise, we are just helping the market to collapse. |

snip...
From everything OP said, it's safe to assume that he is a more of an invest than a trader. So he doesn't buy/sell more frequently; instead he holds Bitcoin long term and alts short - mid term with an aim to sell them when their prices go up then majority of those profits will flow into buying Bitcoin regardless of the price at the time he set out to buying since he's just DCA-ing. While this is a good strategy, I'd prefer to sell anywhere close to the top and rebuy later with DCA at a lower price. In the past I've seen people multiply their Bitcoin holdings by just selling near top and buying lower. Of course, it's easier said than done but it's worth giving it a shot. Having a concrete plan will us to decide what we gonna do next. OP almost gets bored waiting for the price be going to dump in order to accumulate more but seems the market trend isn't giving him a favor as Bitcoin moves high together with altcoins. Now that he is bothering what he gonna do, I think he needs some rest as he can't think and decide right. Sometimes we have to calm down ourselves and enjoy some events because as we more engage in crypto and getting disappointed coz we fail to reach our goal, it leads to nowhere and surely ended up regrets, and this might happen to OP if he pushes himself to invest in worthless altcoins like Doge. |

I avoid betting on friendly matches, but still the fact that any team can beat any team can be assessed not only as a disadvantage, but also as an advantage, when the underdog wins the odds are usually high.
Exactly! I become so skeptical when it comes tonplacing a bet on friendlies that actual league games or competitions. They both come with a completely different vibe and energy. You can't exactly tell which team is bound to emerge victorious even with a pairing of an unequal strength as per quality of players and the league from which the team hails from. I rarely bet on frienndlies too, especially when it comes to the win market. The goal market has been to some extent more favourable to me. One way that i actually use to make my predictions is, by looking at the teams line ups. Seeing many of the first team players on the bench especially those handling key roles simply means, there isn't anything serious in the fixture and vice versa. Hard to predict unlike with real games where all the stats are important, with friendly games those good players even they are in the game can just run and enjoy without any pressures. They are just competing with time and not really with the opponents that they are playing with, and same logic applies when betting. Make sure to bet for fun and not to chased whoever be the winner  it will lessen the stress if you lose your pick. Most of you are concern about the favorite team not playing their best, if that's what you see then it's not hard to predict the winner of the game. What really happened here is that we are a sure bettor on the favorites, so we think they will win and we are disappointed if they will not play their best. In gambling, betting with your heart would never result to profit, always look for an opportunity or the value to win in every bet. |

^Let's be honest guys, we are going to see some more veterans signing cheap contracts with both Nets and Lakers at the same time.
Because that's the only way they will become a champion after seasons of playing, Lakers and Nets are the favorites because they have the top players in the NBA now and they are really good, if not because of injury, we might have seen them in the NBA Finals last season. Good example is David West, he was a starter on his team, played great but never won a championship, however he decided to play with the GSW which was the best teams in 2017 and 2018 season and won a championship. |

I am not sure the coin will bring profit if we invest long term, it is better to choose another coin that already has potential and will certainly bring profit that is ethreum, BNB, and some other top coins, but this all depends on our own beliefs because not all of our predictions will bring the truth because we only see the development of a coin.
I agree bitcoin, ethereum, and BNB are the best currencies for long term investment even if other coins are lost from the market there is no chance of losing these coins and the risk is much less. Traders like it and it is profitable to keep it for a long time even if the price goes down. I prefer following your suggestion to invest in bitcoin, ethereum and BNB besides the other coins because those coins will have more potential to increase back. Maybe he can invest in the other coins, but he does not have to use too big money because that will be risky if you buy the wrong coins. But if he has the skills to trade, it will be better to trade bitcoin, ethereum or BNB because the movements of those coins are better than the other coins. So he can have a chance to make a profit daily or weekly. Well, for me, I spread my capital to different coins, 50% for Bitcoin alone while the other 50% are for 2-3 altcoins. I'm not just looking and focus on the top listed coins like ETH and BNB, I also eyeing the top 10-20 altcoins. They are some good projects on there but as we usually did, research is very important and it needs is a perfect timing or at least near to possible. But for now, it wasn't looking good to start buying altcoins this time. Almost all altcoins in the pump, we have to wait until the hypes are over which is the position to start. |
