By the looks of it Bucks vs Suns thing is getting a bit more like a given up thing at this point, most of my friends that like to watch and follow NBA do not even care about the finals right now. Think about it the next game is literally the finals of the whole NBA and maybe will decide on the champions and they are still not caring. I do not know what the reason for this could be but it is obvious that NBA became something  very boring in the past few years for sure, no idea what could be my excuse but I know my friends just think that it is boring.

If NBA doesn't step up and do something, I am pretty sure that they are going to end up losing a lot more customers as well. Viewership numbers shows this as well, they have been rapidly dropping for the past 2-3 seasons and unless NBA does something to improve and get the attention again, we could see NBA not having this much attention anymore.

Some people would not appreciate the game but most will certainly love this finals Match up, we are used to seeing the GSW and Lakers going into the Finals and the NBA Finals ends in 4 to 5 games only because the other team is very strong, this match is very interesting because they came from behind, they are not even the favorites to win the NBA championship and yet they are here now.

How do you think the NBA to step up?

And please share some sources saying that the viewership has dropped compared to the previous years.

5.2 for the legendary Manny Pacquiao? Wow.
Don't be surprised, that odds does not exist, even if you check on all sportsbook.

I know what I am using my monthly budget on in August that is insane odds for a talented fighter like Manny PAC. I get that he is the underdog but no way in hell would I say he is a 5.2 underdog.
Maybe just a typo error, if even the odds will move in favor of Manny Pacquiao, it might drop to 2.5 which for me still very attractive odds.

I really want to take the risk right now but I don't have an extra on my stake wallet right now but if I have I will surely take a risk in betting for the Phoenix Suns,
You still have a lot of time to top up, the game will start in more than 24 hours so you can find a way. I would not miss this opportunity if I think the Suns can still even the series, the public might be thinking now that the series will be over in 6, but we never know what would happen in 48 minutes or more.

The next games will resume on Wednesday, July 21, 2021.

https://pba.ph/schedule

DYIP vs Alaska
Phoenix vs Northport

TNT vs Magnolia. .. This is the game that I like to watch and bet, it should be a close game as both teams are good.

Putting my bet on Magnolia again, hopefully, they are the underdog here.

I would like to see how abueva  will continue his leadership towering the offense of Magnolia, the first game he bring 26 points to win
against his former team.

Playing against TNT might test him once again with his tune of playing, I'll going to watch this game as I missed watching those early
games due to my work schedules.

I also aiming for Magnolia to win but there's no available odds yet for this game. Good Luck!

If TNT has improved their defense, then they might be able to limit Calvin Abueava, however, I don't see anyone from their line up that could match the energy of Abuea on the floor if they will just play one on one. There are no odds right because the game is on Wednesday and the odds might be available Tuesday night.
3185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 19, 2021, 12:31:40 PM
Early pick

BUCKS -5 (game 6)
I am also putting my early picks today at Bucks -6.5. Under 224.5. Defense will be on elite level and I don't think they can repeat such a high percentage shooting like Game 5. Foul troubles will be there again and missed free throw attempts because of pressure so I think it will end with a low scoring game.

Cheers to all the winners last time and we may all win this next one again. Could be the final bet for us. Good luck.

They said that closing the series is very hard, but let's trust what the Bucks can do here, they are already on 3 winning streaks and the Suns had not answered so far, so I guess it's time to follow the trend and bet on the Bucks to win. This is the game where the word "if" for bucks should not exist because if they lose this game, they will be in trouble in game 7.
Bucks has twice the chance to win the NBA title so how can they be in trouble? If ever they lose the next game in their homecourt, then they have to travel to Phoenix again. They have proven that they can win in the road so I think they still have their chances in game 7.

The opening line is -5.5 for the Bucks at 1.96. That's too attractive not to missed as they will do their best to close out the show in their home court to have a big celebration after the game.

Every game matters, if Bucks lose in game 6 and Suns will dominate like a double-digit win, then maybe they'll be in trouble in game 7, however, it doesn't mean that our expectation will happen as this series has been so unpredictable. We thought the Bucks are in trouble when they were down 0-2 at the start, but they flip it, they are in the hill and Suns are in big trouble.

I haven't tried it but I guess we're going to love it at first try as it's all about enjoyment and the ambiance. But in the long run, it seems to be not fun anymore as you get to lose your focus as you play with it because it's possible that your goal would change overtime.

But for experience gathering ? yeah this is one good place to explore but of course only play once and do not come back permanently if you don't wanna lose completely  Shocked
Well, we all want to experience and I guess everyone will agree to try it personally not just online.  Tongue
That actually adds more attraction to the gamblers and the people to come but this could also destruct our mindset. I mean, might happen that our focus is on the ladies, not on the game.
But  what I think about this is that the casino owners are totally benefiting. Or maybe, there have another business inside the casino...lol
I'm not sure if this is permitted or the authorities will conduct a raid on this casino.

She committed a crime and that she needs to pay for that.
Anyone who acts illegally will soon be caught and put in jail but it was too sad that cryptocurrency has also involved with this. It is sometimes to think that many illegal activities happen using crypto and this is how some authorities hated it much.
Scammer, money launderer, and many other, they are using the feature of being anonymous to hide their illegal activities and we find it how it ruins the image in general.
3188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Delete token in exchange on: July 19, 2021, 06:32:57 AM
I have been trading tokens for some time. But what if all of a sudden they stop the token from a token exchange?what a closed token says.And will I ever get the closed token back? Is there a system? Tell me if there is.
The exchanges themselves give awareness to their users and traders if that be going to happen so those who hold that particular coin will still have time to withdraw or even to trade it. That is why we should care about reading any updates and email notifications coz that is only a medium to make you aware of. Because if ever you miss that, you no longer to touch your coin unless if the support team will help you out take some consideration but most likely they don't care about it as it was your responsibility as well.
3189  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Follows Ethereum? on: July 19, 2021, 05:12:13 AM
Ethereum will continue being Bitcoins deputy because  btc has the most liquidity compared to eth! What does this mean, btc  has the ability to move markets far much better than eth which makes it a leader and not a follower, and fyi the two being in different leagues eth would influence most altcoins while btc will influence the entire crypto ecosystem which shows eth doesn't influence btc.
Everyone is expecting a rally in Ethereum on back of the upgrade but i doubt we will be seeing a much bigger rally because anyone planning to stake the coins already invested billions in the market and if there is any special interest from any institutional investment firm to purchase millions or billions worth of coins to stake, then we might see a rally and then i heard about their plans of burning the coins, if that is the case we might see a rally but i am yet to understand all of their upgrades.
Binance coin is burning their coins to keep the price even higher, if Vitalik does that, it could possibly make the rise as well like what happen to BNB price. But I don't think it is a need to reach that point as I was positive that the launch of their upgrade will have good results.
This is somewhat to show that the market is in strong competition but never in mind that ETH will be close to Bitcoin. No matter how ETH  will take, Bitcoin still dominating the market.
3190  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China might really be out of Bitcoin and the cryptospace on: July 18, 2021, 11:34:31 PM
It doesn't really matter whether China is in or out of the cryptocurrency industry. Yes they hold the largest population of people in the planet and yes they are the fastest growing country in this planet in terms of GDP, but we have to keep in mind that there are other countries out there that could use our help and support, countries like those in the continent of South Africa that may not be growing fast in terms of economy but are certainly progressively growing in other aspects. China is just a piece of the puzzle, and if we convince the rest of the world to go crypto, there's a huge chance they will retract these ordinances and join the wave too.
Precisely, and the future of Bitcoin doesn't just rely on them, there are still a lot of countries that continue to support cryptocurrency and the US is one of those that could certainly boost the market.
For so many times that China makes these actions towards their people who struggle to invest in crypto space, I think we have not been affected anymore and Bitcoin will still be able to survive without China. We have tested this multiple times and we are still fine and healthy.
3191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huge gains and still holding ? on: July 18, 2021, 11:08:18 PM
The biggest mistake anyone can do is still holding unto their altcoins when bitcoin touched 60k weeks ago and still holding strong when the fall began weeks ago, imagine someone still holding HEX token when the coin did 40x already? If you are someone like this friend I don't know what your aim is but sorry to say you are doing it wrong. Check yourself cos it's possible you are struggling with greed.
This is because we hardly believe that holding gives you a decent profit which for me, it won't. I'm sure that we are already aware of the volatility of the market and once it pumps (it will be a perfect time to sell) because the next is that it surely be a decline.
Not because we hold we are already confident that money comes in, no. If we don't bother to check the market quite sometimes, it is possible we miss the train and make us to regrets.
But if you are aiming to invest for long-term, I think it was not a problem and I believe that the market will move rises again in a couple of years.

-snip-
Nice, the graphs give a perfect representation of what happens with shitcoins. Of all the coins, only BAT achieved an impressive all-time high after the bloodbath in 2018

Right now, I don't blame OP. Maybe he's still new in the game and thinks that it's always a rosy affair in cryptoland but once he gets to see a real bear market, he will change his mind about these low capped shitcoins.
That probably he is new and he needs to use some trading tools to be guided. If that he thinks about investing those coins listed by OP, he might wait for the next Bullrun in order to make a profit.
Honestly, most of them are not known and even out of my bucket list. I can say that Matic, SIA, and BAT have some potentials but as the market enters the bear season, that is somewhat difficult to recover.
3193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the epidemic have a big impact on Bitcoin? on: July 18, 2021, 02:49:07 PM
snip...

despite the fact that we don't know, but to some extent between the pandemic and bitcoin, I think there is an influence. when many people were laid off, while bitcoin experienced a bullrun so many new investors tried their luck to join as bitcoiners, because some stories are many new bitcoiners who invest even without good knowledge
As the pandemic continues, people have found their way to make money as the majority were being jobless, and hearing about Bitcoin is seemingly interesting to try.
If they will think that investing in Bitcoin will be their chance to become rich despite the market crisis and being jobless, they were right but joining the market without knowledge is wrong, and this will surely lead them to lose their money. As these numbers of newcomers, not all of them were able to continue but many of them just quit.
3194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Cryptocurrency has best future? on: July 17, 2021, 01:23:52 PM
Talking about the best cryptocurrency in the market no other than is BTC. But of course, it is too hard to put our money in just a single coin knowing how risky it is, so it is much better to spread it with other coins like ETH and BNB. These 3 coins are worth for long-term investment, and we can assure you that we can generate a profit from them in the future as long as we can manage to wait for their surge.

 and right now the odd is on a favor for the Suns with 1.59 to 2.44 for the Milwaukee Bucks on stake.com.

I don't know if betting on them in the series now is a smart idea because if we really think they'll win the series, the best strategy for me is to bet on them in game 5 ML and if Suns win, I'll double it in game 7. We have a different strategy though but the game is very unpredictable so who knows, Bucks will have their straight wins, so you don't need the series to be over to bag that win.

I get the point, if the Bucks will win on the road, game 5 is their best chance because they have the momentum already, if they lose here, people will doubt they would win in game 6 as just like what the Suns did to the Clippers, they can close out the series on the road. But then again, no one really knows what would happen, it's just our own prediction and speculation, and we could be wrong.
3196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 16, 2021, 09:42:53 PM
Guys, after these games, do you still think the Bucks have a good chance of beating the Suns in the NBA Finals?
We don't know yet if Suns would really win though, and even if they will not win, they still have one home court where they can win and take this series to game 7, so I would say the Bucks has every chance to win as they already beat the Suns in this series. Probably the chance of winning is 55% suns and 45% bucks.
3197  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Tips for Trading from Beginner, For Beginners. on: July 16, 2021, 12:25:59 PM
5 Tips for Trading from a Beginner, For Beginners.

1. Check market sentiment
2. Set loss/profit (really important)
3. No emotions, only believe in your analysis.
4. Do not click any button yourself, a trade should over with a stop loss or take profit.
5. Never 100% on one trade, 20% amount with x3.

This is what I learnt in my 30 days of trading and so far, I am doing really good.
If any of you have some tips for me aswell, go ahead.  Wink
All of these things are very important but would like to focus on the bolded one. It is just all about how to make TA, spending more time to analyze the market situation is very important before thinking about buying a certain coin.
There is one tip to give, "YOU NEED TO TRUST YOUR SELF". If we carry this thing, we are motivated to make a decision clearly and effectively. Though it can't be a warrant that we are safe for possible losses, at least we are confident enough of what we did.
3198  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't be too desperate to make earning on: July 16, 2021, 11:47:35 AM

Yes you are right. Cryptocurrency trading is not an occupation for everyone, or for successful trading, I would say you need to have a special mindset. The fact is that when trading cryptocurrency, you need to be able to make quick decisions, be able to analyze the market situation and try to anticipate what will happen next. Such a mindset is far from being common, and I would say it is generally a rarity, hence the majority of those who lose money. I have traded cryptocurrencies and I know how it works, while I know people who would also like to trade and earn money, but they are afraid to even register on the exchange on their own, what then can you even talk about? So cryptocurrency trading should be done by people who understand the complexity and responsibility of their actions.
To learn about trading is our responsibility if we would like to become a pro trader, we can let other people do that but by just ourselves. That is why, if we plan to become a trader it is a need for us to set a plan, to define what we really aim for. I know we are here just for money, to make a decent return is what we want to achieve but can't be denied that not all the time we are too lucky nor the market is going up.
Earning money in trading is not impossible but indeed, it was not easy as well. If we are not able to achieve it on our first try, we still have a chance on the next try.
3199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: investment and loss anticipation on: July 16, 2021, 09:05:47 AM
Talking about cryptocurrencies, of course, it doesn't rule out investing or stocks, in this case, of course we have to be careful in investing because investing also contains risks. The risk here is to lose funds or other assets when the investment does not live up to expectations or even fails. Yes, it is true that we cannot invest and then only expect profits without understanding the risk of loss, but to warn of all possible losses, what steps should we take?
I think all types of risk are the same, the only difference is big and small. Investing without learning the basic concepts of investing, I think it's just a waste of money. However, the step that must be taken is to invest a small amount first, not immediately with a large amount.
Probably, those who start investing has already aware of their position and the consequences awaited them. As it involves money, either small or big investment it corresponds to risk. That is why we have to invest our money only the amount that we can afford to lose and we don't have to force ourselves if we are not prepared and most especially if we don't have any idea about the thing we invest in. In that case, it is to expect that losses are near to you, not profit.

~snip~
 For me, a reasonable gambling budget is 3 to 5% of my income, although I may allow more if I have some extraordinary income that month. How do you plan your gambling or fun budget?
^ This is a very reasonable amount to gamble, I even gamble more than this maybe sometimes it is 10% and it depends if I like the games. Because sometimes when there is a game that gives me more entertain me well. I spent a lot on it my money especially if this is something new for me. There is nothing wrong with spending even 30% of your monthly income sometimes if this amount is the amount that you can afford to gamble. For me, it is like a gift to myself when I enjoyed it so much no matter how much I spend money.

I would go for the net monthly income, that's after your expenses like loans, utility bills, your credit cards and etc.. What the net income, that should be the basis, but then, that's just for me as I am more careful in managing my funds especially this time that we are in a pandemic.
