With the match of Nets vs Warriors later. I've stumbled upon this article. KD admits that he's missing his past teammates and is now likely in good terms with Green.

After Warriors exit, Kevin Durant sounds like he's on decent terms with Draymond Green

Warriors will never be the same as before, when they're conquering most of the teams.

That would be a good thing for Kevin Durant to do, forgive and forget and move on as no matter what he would do now won't change the past. I remembered that scene very well and for me that is jus a burst of emotion for Draymond Green and part of the game, nothing personal.
It's part of their career as a professional inside the court.

There would always be misunderstanding and quarrels like this. But the past is past and we've heard it from KD that they've been ok and there's no bad emotions left for both of them.

As long as they're in good terms, that's the most important part that they had. We get to see KD play again later. Which team you're eyeing for this match?

I'm a fan of the Splash Bros TBH and Kevin Durant as well when he was playing for the Warriors  Smiley. Today's odds for the games between them is interesting as Klay Thompson won't play thus making the odds to bet for the Warriors @3.60 which for me is very attaractive and tempting considering that this is KD's first game and we don't know how we would jell with his team mates.

Bottom line, will bet for the underdog. 

You have a good point, Nets are so hype because of the return of Durant and Irving, actually they did well in the preseason but this is regular season, thins could be different, so your bet has a good chance of winning, good luck on that.

most of your bets are handicap and not moneyline
i conclude you do that to get higher coefficient
what is the coefficient you are aiming usually?



I think it's because of the odds, when you are betting on the favorites and you bet on ML, you won't get at least 1.90 odds, most probably you'll get a lower odds and that will not help you in the long run.  Most of the bettors I guess are betting on the point spread and total so they'll get a good return.
3283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sport betting site offering bets on the Covid-19 pandemic. Worst site now. on: December 21, 2020, 11:10:44 PM
That's why i am interested to know what is the particular type of bet, or what is written.
I can't just make a judgement if what they are is unethical or not if I can't review the site OP is referring.

There are shared sites in the previous post.

Some bets props are:

- Bets on city shutdowns
- Toilet paper shortages
- The vaccine being developed (when, where, etc)

As for the illegal gambling sites:

- Last digit of the number of daily new cases announced by Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
- Bet on whether the number is even or odd, and if the latest number in the respective countries is higher than the previous day's.

Thanks, but I think it's hard to predict that, so I guess as a gambler, I would skip that betting and just focus on the sports I love to bet, well, NBA is already in the air, opening games will be on December 22, 2020, so I might spend my money there.
3284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 21, 2020, 11:00:09 PM
NBA season is coming back and LA Lakers are probably looking stronger than before with new signings and paying $40 million for Kuzma, so I don't think LA Clippers will have any chance in LA battle.
When they re signed Kuzma, that did not add fire to the team but the other players are. Many are saying that the Lakers roster now is a much improve roster and I can understand the hype since they were coming from an NBA championship, but to say that Clippers has no chance, I think I will disagree with that, Leonard is always an underrated player, so anytime he can make surprises again.

Expect the Clippers to give a tough match up in the regular season opening.

I agree with that, Clippers had PG and Leonard and added some guys to help, I think they are ready and they are still a championship contender in this season. The bubble was a bad experience for them but they will improve by learning from that mistake, everyone has their own opinion but we can't force everyone to agree with us, at least we are giving our honest opinion, that's the most important.

And after he lost in the rematch, he claim and admitted that he didn't train properly and just enjoy being the Heavyweight champion and of course all the fame and money that comes with it.
This is where it is worth wondering why he makes statements that he did not train properly.  What's this? 
Justification of loss or is it vice versa Threat to future rival. 
Now, if I train, then ... All... You have no chance!!!. You are defeated!
All this is psychologically calculated by his managers.
Do you think this is so?
Or just an excuse, a real fighter would not say that, that's a disrespect to the winner, he should put some action in the ring and don't talk too much. There's no threat outside the ring, the real threat is in the inside and we should not easily believe what we heard as all they said might only be intended to attract the attention of the media.
3286  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO, IEO! Which one do you want to return again? on: December 18, 2020, 12:07:02 PM
I would like to return Neither ICO nor IEO, cause both of those are dangerous way even scammers still grabbing money by using those ways.apart from those things, new technic come in market, which is called defi. After old scamming technic Ico & ieo, scammer start defi technic and as a reaction of that, very terribly downfall of defi tokens happened within night.although ieo is good technic than ico, cause if ieo token scam,  you may sell your token & recovery little money but no chance to Recovey from co token scam.
Difference with IEO is that these coins would really be directly be traded on an exchange that's why when it comes to security or assurance then IEO is the best one
among the 3. Less risk but still not guaranteeing that you would really make out some profits.

In talks about new hypes and methods of sales then I wont really be surprised if we would see another one comes next to DeFi.

whenever which things come then tendency of scam or losing money by the investors is inevitable.Scammers are always there
which would really be fooling out people to scam out.

It only differs on the way a project  is offered to the public, but the exchange is not responsible if the project turns out to be scam in the long run, so there's still a risk in fact it's still considered as a high risk, but compared to ICO, IEO is definitely an improvement.

The trend is changing, before we have ICO, then IEO, and now we have De-Fi, so we have to live with the changes if we want to take advantage as an early investors but we have to ensure we did enough research.
3287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Invest in ICO or buy BTC? on: December 18, 2020, 11:27:04 AM
ICO reputation is so bad it is too risky to take the option to invest in ICO better choose to buy bitcoin even though the price is too high
at least the bull run season is still happening today of course it will be easier to get profit
I would not expect an easy profit if you'll buy today, it requires deeper knowledge on how to be profitable in a short period of time because that's what you are suggesting, buying bitcoin to hold is good but I believe the right time is when bitcoin will dip and it will happen soon when bitcoin corrects after the bull run.

I am a type of a gambler that i used to check the reputation of one casino by just reading the reviews of the casino, its performance and its considerably to the clients or gamblers, legal or registered and allowed to operate legally and no issues were already fine to me. And yes losing in gambling were already a part of it thats why we are here to keep reminder to each and everyone to rake risks only the amount that we are willing to lose just because we didn't know how to plat in provably fair game.

Same here, I trust the site that I'm gambling with so I don't have to check its fairness in every bet I make.
Reputation is very important to them, if they will scam people that will end their profitable business, so do you think they'll do that?

Actually there's plenty of reputable sites here, just gamble with them and you'll be alright, and those sites who have a verifier, they are good to gamble with.
3289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 18, 2020, 10:59:34 AM
Maybe they should recruit more star that can help them in outside scoring since this one is I think the lacking of the bucks to reach the finals.
There chance is over, a lot of players that are free agent in the past few weeks but they didn't get a good player, maybe if James Harden will be acquired this team will improve, but who would be sent in return?

It could be.

Knowing Harden's skills and capabilites, putting him with Giannis is something that will make a huge impact to this franchise.
But just like what you have said, they missed that opportunties, chances that Houston already provide the demand of Harden's camp bringing him stay and sign new a contract.

No, Harden't contract will end in 2023 per the news ; https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2720531-james-harden-houston-rockets-reportedly-working-on-biggest-contract-in-history

The rumor now is that Harden want to be traded, not because of the salary issue but maybe he doesn't like to play with his teammates anymore and he is looking for a team that will bring him a championship, and since Harden signed a big contract, that would mean a lot of players to be release in exchange for him if both parties will agree.
3290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum: $500, $400, or $800? on: December 18, 2020, 07:35:06 AM
Bitcoin is very bullish, it will not need a next year for ETH to achieve $1,000. What if bitcoin will continue to rise to $30,000? I think that would make ETH easy at $1,000, so I believe we should not underestimate the movement of altcoins during the bull run.
now bitcoin is $23k and and is still a long way from $30k whereas a value of $7k will not be possible in just a few days, i agree with the opinion in the post above that if ethereum will not possibly reach $1k by the end of the year we will see ethereum will continue increase in the next year
We don't worry the $30k anymore, bitcoin can rise at any price because the ATH was broken, just like the old days, it happened now, so we just have to wait and see if we are not selling until bitcoin will start to correct.
3291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: December 18, 2020, 07:10:40 AM

edit : my pick Dallas Mavericks +4.5

Another win mate, that was 3 in a row now, you got 2 wins in Mavericks if I'm not mistaken.
This two games in the preseason, Dallas beat the Bucks twice, good to see they are rolling early, congrats on your win anyway.

I didn't realize I was already 3 in a row.

I won on Dallas Mavericks two in a row but this time I'm betting against them.

Minnesota vs Dallas.
My pick is Minnesota Timberwolves +6.5

Good luck!

A very nice streak stadus! Seems you are betting against the team who gave you 2 consecutives.
Might be possible to cover this handicap as Dallas maybe tired now.

Just saying  but still depends from how the bench will play again, they are getting those points from everywhere, if they continue playing like this, very tough to predict as they are coming in each side of the court.

Best of Luck bettors!

The streak continues, on a 4 winning streak now. Wow! very impressive, please finish this preseason with a streak so you'll have a good start in the regular season. Congratulations on the winners, those who bet on the Timberwolves to win or to cover the spread.
3292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum: $500, $400, or $800? on: December 17, 2020, 10:38:58 PM
I've seen people in many places saying that ethereum will see $ 700 levels. I am also one of those who trust ethereum and I think it will make this leap.
until end of year ethereum will see 1000$. inthe pump 20% of bitcoin, ethereum doesnt increase so much. when btc will a stable price in 23k, ethreum will begin to increase.
Ethereum will not begin to increase if bitcoin will be stable, bitcoin needs to rise more for ETH to rise.
As you can see today, bitcoin has over 10% increased while ETH only has 3%, so bitcoin needs to increase more to affect positively on ETH.

Gone are the days where altcoins have bigger increased that bitcoin because even if bitcoin already hit a new ATH, the total marketcap is still below $1 trillion and bitcoin dominance is still at 65%, that has to chance and effect a decrease if we want a major altcoins to have a major increase.

@TimeTeller, at least this odds will give us an idea who is the favorites and the underdog here.
After seeing this, I think I will go for Reymart Gaballo to win this fight by KO, I'm expecting that the odds will be open a day before the fight.

Odds is already out on my favorite sportsbook and it's pretty much even. If you are a fan of either fighter, that betting odds is really attractive.

Personally, i'm betting here for Raymart Gaballo. This is his chance of showcasing his talent in the world stage and we could expect him to give his all.
 


Nice odds for Gaballo here mate, but do you know where you watch it live? I mean you have a streaming site to follow?

It would be nice if we will not anymore pay for the PPV if this one is on PPV.

=snip=

First, Ethereum is the top altcoin and hence once the market is good and Bitcoin is growing, it will follow as well. About these predictions, you just have to be careful with the way you follow them, $800 can be achieved at the same time, it might not be achieved, that is just how the market works, many predictions won't just work, hence be careful of they way you invest. Lastly, talking about the Ethereum price in general, if the bullish market continues to next year, with the growth and attention it has gotten already, then there is every possiblity it will reach $800 or even more; this is just my opinion and with the volatility of the market invest carefully.
Your analysis is very precise and I absolutely agree, that there will not be significant changes for Ethereum this year but will move up when it starts to enter 2021.
This movement is allegedly due to the movement of bitcoin that will reach the latest ATH, which can even be of very fantastic value.
ethereum will be able to exceed $ 1K for next year's forecast and it won't be that hard for ethereum to do.
All the top-ranking altcoins will experience the same thing with ethereum, so we'll just have to wait for that to happen.



Bitcoin is very bullish, it will not need a next year for ETH to achieve $1,000. What if bitcoin will continue to rise to $30,000? I think that would make ETH easy at $1,000, so I believe we should not underestimate the movement of altcoins during the bull run.
3295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 17, 2020, 11:31:28 AM
But definitely it will not be as big as what he earned during the Mcgregor fight, it might millions but I'm sure it will not hit over $100 million in this fight. Logan Paul is popular as a youtuber, but I'm sure not all his subscribers or whatsoever will watch the fight, some would even just watch a free live streaming.

Mayweather vs McGregor was perhaps one of the biggest fights so far in this century. You can compare it with an exhibition match. Mayweather earned around $280 million during the fight against Mcgregor and this was perhaps the largest paycheck of all time for a single match. Ideally you should be comparing with the revenues from KSI vs. Logan Paul, which was much lower. 
the biggest exhibition match of the century? yes, but the biggest fight of the century? no. as far as I know at the time of their match McGregor was an amateur in the professional world of boxing. everybody(at least most people I know) knew that he didn't stand a chance against Mayweather. not being biased but I think Pacquiao vs Mayweather was the biggest fight of the century. both boxers have an incredible(maybe the best) boxing record and fight history amongst other boxers on their era which what makes their fight the biggest in the century(but also disappointing).

Agree, the McGregor and Mayweather fight is purely just for a show and money. Switching from one sport to another is difficult for any athletes, you cannot make a boxer out of an MMA player over night or even in a month. Mayweather's exhibition matches will not make too much hype and excitement as it was before he retired boxing.

We will see on this upcoming fight, it might not create as big as the hype before, but we are still talking of millions here and how good Mayweather in making money by fooling people, sorry to say that, I just feel that if we continue to support his fight, we might see more of this in the future as it's easier to do than a real competition.

People wants to see a Mayweather vs Pacquiao even just for an exhibition, I think it's possible, isn't it?

And if Mayweather loss, he is still undefeated since this is just an exhibition.

Nice match up here, Blazers against Nuggets.

Do you have some write up about this game, I mean which team might win?
Denver is -4 now, you think they'll win and cover that?

There's plenty of time before it will start, I'll probably wait for some suggestion here before betting.

This is the only game I'm going to bet as I like the match up, 2 good teams in the West.
3298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 16, 2020, 11:17:01 PM
Lakers will probably focus on defense but they also prepare for offense as well, they do not just have one offensive scheme they use for every game, they are usually ready with a new offense for each team, they find their weak spot and attack there.

Having a team that is mainly defensive these days is not a fresh deal, everyone talks about how Warriors were amazing offensively and that is how they won a championship but look at their defensive stats on the years they became champions, you will realize that they were amazing defensively as well; which is why I think a team that has superstars but also focuses on defense will usually win the title. That is why Clippers were seen as the best team last year, since they had PG13 and Kawhi who were amazing defensively.
Lots had anticipated that LAC would be seen in finals but what happened? Even with Bucks too and other powerhouse teams. We didnt even anticipate that Heat will able to break and
push though the finals where most people doesnt really care that much about this one but rather focuses into those team which had some superstars.

Lakers is both good in defense and offence.I would rather see on enhancing their rhythm and passing side to lessen up their turnover mistakes.

Now that other teams had different roster then lets see if they can still retain into their current the same line-up.

Heat will remain an underrated team, they reach the NBA Finals but they didn't give the Lakers a good series, I mean, Lakers just dominated them and end the series in game 6. The favorites in the East now are the Nets since KD and Durant is back while Heat stays on the same line up, they may go to playoffs again but they might not enter in the NBA Finals.

Game 6 doesnt give out a good series? We can say up those words if we do see 4-0 but we did see that they made out some good fight and trying to push until game 7 but it was a bit short.

Yes, they are underrated and majority didnt expect for them to reach that far until to the finals.I agree into your words that now that those superstars are back on the floor
which would really be giving out different story but doesnt mean we should underestimate Heat this time.We dont know that each team
are making some adjustments now based of on what they did lack in previous season.

Actually people think heat is not a big threat as at the start they didn't think that they can beat the Lakers, Heat weren't even expected to be in the NBA Finals, IIRC, the favorites that time was the Bucks and the Celtics, and yet they beat them all.

If we compare the series between the Lakers and the heat vs the Heat and the Celtics.
I believe the Heat vs Celtics series was more entertaining although it also end in game 6 because people were thinking it's an even match.

3300  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos Withdrawal Fees Rise (!?)|| November 2020 on: December 16, 2020, 10:32:19 PM
I think withdrawal fees only affect bitcoin so if you want to lessen the fees then convert it to another cryptocurrency. Some popular gambling platforms now offer that kind of thing. We can't avoid or blame the gambling website if the bitcoin withdrawal fee there increases. It's normal for that to happen if there are many bitcoin transactions going on the blockchain network.

It's always advisable for gamblers to use another cryptocurrency to withdrawal to avoid the fees, and I think many gambling websites are aware of that. The gambling sites realize that they can't only use bitcoin for their site, especially if they have many gamblers who play gambling on their site. Some of them add another cryptocurrency such as eos, tron, or another crypto in the gambling site while they already have ethereum, litecoin, and doge. I am sure the gambler will know what coin they should use if they don't want to use bitcoin for withdrawal.

Might as well good to transfer or convert your bitcoin withdrawal into other crypto coin to able to spare from high fees. I believe that casino fees will continue to add a withdrawal fees in their pay outs and the current ATH of bitcoin maybe one of the reason. We shouldnt set aside the huge possibilities and potentials of other altcoins like Ethereum, Binance and XRP that was a good investments too to consider.
When it comes to times like these then we wont really have any options left but to switch up on alts yet fee's would really be helpful or would
really be saving you on spending too much on fees.

Currently the network having that 100 sats/byte at this moment.It might not really be that high but it is already on $3 fee which not all
wont really be willing on paying it out.

Switching into other alts will really save you into this problem.

Bitcoin is pumping, it's not a good idea to use bitcoin if you are trying to save on fees, right, altcoins is the best solution for now as the party is only on bitcoin and altcoins remain calm as it was before, we don't know when bitcoin will settle, either it will continue to pump or will result to a bigger splash or dump, regardless, it will still make the network congested.
