Therefore my pick is Wizards +10
Great win man, could have been bigger if you put a moneyline bet on this game, they really are desperate to win and they had it against the Jazz.
Beal and Westbrook had a great night, good thing they broke the losing streak and let's see if they'll start a win streak.
Yes, I thought that Utah Jazz will take over the 3rd quarter which they usually does. Mitchell was on fire, but Beal went on another level, playing 1:1 with Mitchell but in the end Wizards wanted to win. Westbrook as well goes off in the first quarter. Won some betting on them winning the first quarter @3.05 good odds,  Grin

Great catch for you, and yes if you manage to bet with ML and that's much bigger win.


Congrats again stadus for winning another great pick, its unexpected since Jazz is really performing but that's not the case as Beal and WB are both playing great earlier, Mitchell and english also for the Jazz but the supporting role players didn't spark to help them catching up and snatch this game from the Washington.

Wise decision and good timing I guess because it means you are shifting some of your resources into good one, it would benefit not only your body but your pocket as well. investing into good product, like bitcoin or company or something can help you someday for as long as you manage it well.. it helps you secure your future.

Indeed! it's not for health alone but the outome for doing this is also helping yourself financially.

Vices that turned to fortune, it's a good move since there are lots of people dying from disease that smoking brings them, deciding to
quit is one thing then investing it to the right asset is another. A well organize investment resulting to a very huge success from the
current market value of Bitcoin.

Much better you might be in double profit now. I think if I give up 1 year, I can buy a car. If it was possible, I would try it. But I don't think it's possible by me.

If there's a will, there's a way. It's you to decide and control your future, trying  to do the same with OP
Benefits you  a lot.

To all you guys who responded here playing dota and all that. Don't you ever encounter games and matches where you just feel it's so rigged? Like the reason I'd never really play big on esports is I know a lot of the people who play it and they are all well... I would believe if I offered them enough money to throw games they would. And them doing so would be nearly impossible to detect. Doesn't this put you off?
That is always a possibly even in sports, but I get what you are saying, in traditional sport leagues this is way more difficult as many players are paid a fortune and it is easier to see if something is wrong, but at the end of the day unless you are right there watching their every action is going to be very difficult to detect this kind of fraud, but while that is the negative think about the positive, casinos have decades if not a hundred years of history to be able to calculate very accurate odds for traditional sports, something that is not true at all with esports and that gives you an advantage.

Very possible to any sports gambling as fixed match are really chronic.

Any sports event that being use for gambling are prone to this kind of manipulations, as there are people who have huge amount of
money to offer just to see the rigged happen. It's also been discuss inside the forum.

Plinko is one of the games I consider myself that if you are not lucky enough and not blessed by RNG god you cannot win with any strategy. But I think that high-risk high reward gameplay can be profitable in Plinko given that you are lucky. A traditional strategy like martingale will not work in Plinko because most of the time your ball will surely land on below 2x multipliers.

Plinko is one of the games that you will consider throwing your money while enjoying the entertainment that it will give to you.  So don't spend your hard-earned money on this. I really don't consider plinko to apply a strategy so you can win because it is just another luck-based game. Don't take this game too seriously, because the suggested strategies will not always work for anybody.


If you are trying to test your luck and you have some spare money to let go,

This kind of luck based gambling serve its purpose, there's no patterns just pure luck that really matters. aside from good control of your emotions trying to find the entertaining part of your stay inside the house,  instead of aiming to win is more preferable to keep yourself
free from stress when luck didn't back you up.

BAT is up to $0.80
MANA is up to $1

how long will this bubble last? I'm trying to get in long term but this is messing up my ability to get in at a good price.


Researching longer is possible to produce something big but you should take action so you don't run into problems later.
you should rethink what steps you will take.

That's interesting although this thread already created as the promotion for BAT but again he already reached his target and BAT already traded above $1

I think that people can't easily predict how long the bubble will be last. He was also thinking about the pros and cons investing in those coins but again all of the result totally depend with the trend that happened in the market.

And BAT continues to move upward after this post has been made,

it's tough to predict as it's always depends with how investors and supporters appreciate this movement.  You need to work with much deeper knowledge about the project that you are aiming to invest your money.

Read all your comments, thanks.

Most of the coins you mentioned have already gone 4-5 times up. Looking for some new coins I guess or those with the potential.

Spend more time seeking for the best project that suits to your expectation.

There are thousands of project around crypto and finding the right investment is really tough, you need to check and research
each project that you are eyeing to place your investment, from those recommendations, it serves as basis before you decide
what particular project o invest your money, good luck to your digging.
3307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: will Binance be the next Ethereum? on: March 18, 2021, 02:42:56 PM
Indeed, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is making tremendous progress, apart from having fast transactions and very low Gas fees compared to Ethereun which many people complain about due to its extremely high Gas costs.

No doubts for those who undersand this chain, it's  a great opportunities for all those who are now using
this chain to lessen the transaction fees and much quicker transfer.

But big players or investors will not object to the high Gas fees and many still believe in Ethereum despite the constraints with Gas fees.

Though there are still investors and traders who are not minding this things up due to volumes of investments.

and I think Ethereum will solve the gas cost problem as soon as possible, so maybe or not I still trust Ethereum and will fix the shortcomings soon and will maintain its position.

The team will as expected with ETH 2.0 might cater this issues.

And mind you, he sits like 9 minutes of the first quarter if I'm not mistaken that's why Pacers was able to built a 15 point early. But Nets and Harden slowly eaten that lead. I would commend Claxton, he did a super job on both ends of the floor, blocking Sabonis and then hauling 11 rebounds.

Irving and Durant having a good time watching Harden's one man show.

The bench players did showed great in this match, don't forget about those threes made by Harris. Harden, no doubt is really like that without the two key players. And basically, the other teams shouldn't be only worried about their main and key players but also these support players that have played well.
Indeed a great match and Harden surpassed the expectation of most fans for this game, IMHO.

The bench support for Harden is really terrific, he got the support he need.

Harris and Claxton with Green and Jordan every support that Harden needs was been provided by those role players behind him.
Nice to see that KD and Kyrie both enjoying the game, watching Harden showing his leadership and lifting the nets to win this game.
3309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 17, 2021, 10:17:39 AM
Of course, the quality of the Internet connection plays an important role in online gaming and gambling. Too long delays can lead to a complete loss of connection to the server and this is very unpleasant. I would not recommend using mobile internet if your internet activity can lead to loss of your funds in case of a connection failure. Use a wired fiber optic internet connection for such things.
Using a wired fiber optic internet connection does not guarantee you always have a stable internet connection because you will sometimes get the same experience as before. But yes, you do not get that experience often than you use a mobile internet connection. It is normal to have that experience because many people also have the same experience. I hope that we will have a stable and fast internet connection in the future, so we do not get a bad experience very often like now.

Similar to anything, not an assurance but better than using your mobile data.

The connection if there's no problem with the provider is far much stable than any mobile data which any time might be interrupted by
some interference between signals.

But in the same way if there are issues with service providers whatever connection you have same thing will happen to you, frustrating but there's no other choice but to stop playing than losing much from your bankroll.
3310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 17, 2021, 09:52:23 AM

Was close though, but not enough for Boston to make an upset here.

Jazz maintained the control and able to win the game against Boston who trully tried to push it up

but due to lack of time didn't made the upset.

For Portland vs Pelicans, Lillard to the rescue again, as he had to score 50 points come from behind win against New Orleans. Two crucial free throws with 1.2 seconds left and Zion missed the next shot. CJ McCollum scored 10 points in his comeback game.

With this game, it showed that veterans players are much confidence,

the game went wild in the last period, Lilard and Melo shows their experienced to beat Zion and Ingrams duo. That's really an upset
but for the homecourt team that's what fans are paying..
3311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ETH overpriced? on: March 17, 2021, 09:44:00 AM
With a lots of developments and functionable inside this market, yes indeed ETH deserve

the success in value right now, developers enjoy the concepts aside from high gas fees but the usages it's indeed successful.

Ethereum deserves its current position in the rankings. And the cost of ETH is quite justified, the network really offers a lot of opportunities and tools. Perhaps for institutional investors, the issue of high commission fees is not as acute as for ordinary people in the crypto world.


Although the maximum supply of ethereum is unlimited, ethereum ecosystem and usability is much better than that of litecoin, which is why the price of ethereum has risen so high. and also the hype about DeFi, DEX, Farm, Liquidy Pool as well which is another reason ethereum price increases and makes new ATH,

Yeah this project achieved the success due to the usages that it brought to this community,

and with all those hypes coming from project who has been developed inside ETH chain, it's adding everything and bringing the price to rise more.
3312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who Benefited from AME Token? on: March 16, 2021, 11:13:52 PM
I also hold some for binance listing but now its seems they can't list. Its been a long time they have announced this but their progress doesn’t seems good enough.
Lets hope for the best
FYI, if it's not any project can be listed on the binance instantly. There would be a lot of processes that must be passed by the project just like product validation, the community's hype and many more to be used as parameters by binance to give a score to the project. Amepay is relatively new and that needs time to prove the product.
That being said that will need another year to be listed on binance.

Binance value their name and reputations,

with so many scamming activities everything will undergo with the process, AME needs to wait for the validation and if they really meet all those need, listing will take place but if they not then expect that it will stay with those existing exchange, they can add more but again there's always process for each attempts and that they'll request upon.
3313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Whyte vs Povetkin II on March 27, 2021 on: March 16, 2021, 10:47:25 PM
The victory of povetkin in the first fight was a huge surprise for me and the uppercut that knocked whyte out was probaby the most spectacular knockout of 2020 and i watched it at least 20 times now becuase it was beautifully executed.
Whyte is again the big favorite in the rematch whis is also shown in the betting odds and i think whyte will be more attentive this time to net get knocked out again out of nowhere.

If he has a better boxing skills than Povetkin, he would win. He would just simply follow what Joshua did during their rematch against Ruiz, he was more careful and he dominated the fight. Whyte here does not need to go for a KO, just score and win so he can reclaim himself then have big fights again.

However, for the sake for excitement, I'll go for Povetkin here. Who's with me?

He already taste that KO from their first match for sure he will be more careful now.

Like what you have said, he just need to use his skills and strategy to win this, keep himself away from the possibility of having
a 2nd KO but instead, reclaim to have a much better future ahead, no need to fight aggressively it will lead him to unexpected
result again.
3314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice games on: March 16, 2021, 01:25:44 PM
Very few would've been lucky to make a big winning out of gambling. I've earned good amount during the early days of my entry to cryptocurrency based gambling. By the time gambling looked to be a very easy thing for me, but for some reason it isn't the reality.
It is easy when you don't have to think of things that you're responsible for. And I think that's the reason when you're looking at gambling as an easy thing.
While you grow older from time to time, it's changing and you have other important things to manage than to put gambling into priority first.

It's the reality in life, time passing and you have to focus yourself to other important things in life.

Those time that you spent doing your gambling activities is not the same amount of time after some time, some might have a family to raise and instead of dealing with gambling they've chosen the other way to feed their family. For some, there's no longer enjoyment and they've realized that they are spending much time and money engaging with their gambling business.
3315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do ordinary people feel afraid of Bitcoin? on: March 16, 2021, 01:09:42 PM
In my opinion, ordinary people don't really know Bitcoin and they saw FUDs from bad people. This may be the common reason for many people to be afraid of Bitcoin. There are too many FUDs and those people are sometimes lazy to check whether it is true or wrong issues. However, I think most people are starting to be not afraid again now because they already know about Bitcoin from many valid sources.


Well said, those who experienced scams provides wrong impressions to this industry.


With certain losses they created fuds and misinformation about this asset, people who are not paying attention are easy been move
so instead of gaining interest they'll simply been push away from this opportunities, if only they take time to learn about this system and
all the benefits, for sure just like us they'll be able to enjoy all the benefits.
3316  Economy / Economics / Re: After 1 year of Covid 19 Virus on: March 16, 2021, 12:47:37 PM
Amazing. One year has passed so quickly. Just realized that one year has passed since I've received a laptop at work and was sent to work at home.

One year working at home and keeping my eyes with my boys, a bleasing in the middle of pandemic,
giving me a chance to take care of my kids and watch them grow while working in front of my computer.

Even though the cure is created, I see no real end of this pandemic. I feel that slowly my life is returning to "before pandemic" period, as 1 day in the week I need to work from the office, and shops are slowly opens.

So far the set up still the same with my work, but yes, shops and other businesses are now slowly facilatating.

But, the number of cases is not decreasing, not everyone is getting a vaccine. Even worse, bureaucracy and economic "wars" starts now, by choosing which vaccine to buy, which is bad or good.

That's the bad thing, as even vaccines are now available the number of cases are still rising high,.

Old man James with a triple double tonight against the Golden State Warriors to help his Lakers pull out the win. It’s funny that people are talking about Steph coming to the Lakers now... Personally I think that’s crazy talk and he’ll retire with Golden State, but even the great Kobe Bryant once requested a trade so you never know...
First time to hear that talk from the other fans. I've never thought that Steph would do such a desperate move. He has his own home and I think that he'll not go to another team as he has achieved a lot with GSW.
I also think that until his retirement, he'll remain in the dub nation.

That would never happen in my opinion because this guy has their own commitment to their team just like the other players in the past. Stephen Curry is currently on the list of NBA players who have spent their entire career with one franchise. I doubt that he will throw such a title just for money. He has a chance to be next to Dirk Nowitski if he stays on GSW or even becomes the top 1 if he successfully stays there longer than the others on the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBA_players_who_have_spent_their_entire_career_with_one_franchise

He should not do that and for sure the Dub nation wll do everytign to keep him.

He don't need anything as he's now collecting the maximum check and surely the Dub management will do their best to counter
whatever offer the Lakers will provide.  Fans will love him more if he keep his feet under one franchise, Just have to wait for Klay to comeback and GSW again will be more competitive than how they are performing now.

3319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do I convince people that Bitcoin isn't a financial pyramid? on: March 15, 2021, 02:51:13 PM
Maybe telling them every day, showing them proof that you are actually making money from this, guarantees that they will show an interest one day.
I am still skeptical about this method of teaching - one where the commodity being discussed has a bigger negative image from the start.
The dangers of this way of convincing is that it looks like a typical ponzi and you cannot convince anyone by saying that the price would rise on a daily basis and how they will convince during a bear market. The only way to convince anyone is to explain about how the financial system works and the difference between centralized and decentralized currency and touch upon market recession and inflation citing examples of different countries and if the other person has any idea about economics then it would be easier if not it is a big hurdle to make them understand.


The usages and the system inside this industry is the best convincing tool.

People who doesn't understand how this market works will keep having a bad impressions to this industry, you just need to bring up what are the benefits and not just the earning opportunities, there are other things that may gathered interest aside from the investment side, you just need to explain further.

From what i hear Lowry is linked to either Miami or Philadelphia, he already sold his house in Toronto so he will be shipped/traded somewhere, not sure how it will work out though as his contract is around $30mil, it's got to be a trade. I could see him in Miami, Dragic has been constantly injured and Nunn inconsistent, Pat Riley has shown over the years that he is not afraid to make trades. Lowry and Butler at backcourt look good to me!



Heat would be a great destination for him, he could be a great point guard and would help the Heat to be better this season. Lowly is always been a good teammate though, he played well with DeRozan so I guess he can play well with Butler as well.

The Heat needs some improve if they want to be a championship contender, though they reach in the Finals last season but there performance is not strong enough to have a chance to beat the Lakers, maybe this addition would help if would happen.

Lowry indeed a good back up, he always supporting his star caliber teammate,

Way back when Derozan was the star of Toronto and when Kawhai went their and bring them the title, Lowry just deal with it and didn't interrupt to any game plan, He's  a star on his own and bringing him either to Miami or Philadelphia he'll bring impact for sure, a very great addition to make the team more competitive.
