3321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: June 30, 2021, 09:36:11 PM
if elsalvador has started it, we hope that like big companies and other countries follow it, then a bullrun is inevitable. Since we know that cryptocurrency is based on demand which can be manipulated with limited supply, it is not difficult to increase the price
The bull run just happened.

And if there's another one at the end of the year, I'm also counting that it shall happen. But there's no need for big companies and other countries to follow it. They can show their support to bitcoin by simply investing in it.

However such news about adoption from countries and big companies are really bringing that trust to the community and to the people that don't believe yet on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

We believe it, but it should not create a bull run, what created a bull run is just hype and it will continue to fool people since it will always result to FOMO that even the bad coins will have a good value during the bull run. Companies' adoption is just a start of a real adoption because the real adoption comes from people using bitcoin as a payment method, not as an investment.

Bukas, game 6 na ng bakbakang Clippers vs Suns, sana manalo ang Clippers para may game 7 tayo.

Always unpredictable ang bakbakang ito, maaring mag game 7 or maaring matapos ang series sa umagang ito.
Siguro more defensive game ang makikita natin, ganyan ang Suns, pag natatalo sila, lumalaban ay ginagandahan ang depensa, kaya masasabi ko, maaring di na aabot ng 40 points si PG ngayon.

Naguguluhan na rin ako, clippers or suns ba, pero for the same of game 7, Clippers na rin ako. hehe.
3323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 30, 2021, 01:59:16 PM

Sean Gibbons, Manny Pacquiao's handler said that the fight will continue as plan. He even told in an interview that Pacquiao will be in the US by July to train with fame Freddy Roach for the Spence fight.

But we all know boxing politics, every one has a price, so if they indeed settle this lawsuit out of the court then the fight can proceed by August. Pacquiao wanted to pursue this fight, so we can't really say that it's time for him to hang up his gloves and retire for good and let the young bloods take over the boxing scene. If Floyd can still relevant with exhibition matches, then Manny can do it with real fights.

That lawsuit will not actually stop the fight, it has nothing to do with the fight so the fight will continue while Manny still has to face the lawsuit, however, it's not necessary that he will face it now, he will have to focus on his fight then he will face the lawsuit.
It will not stop as the lawsuit highlighted only that Manny will have to pay $3 million for a breach of contract, Manny's camp would be able to pay that amount and that problem is over. he should not get affected and I am sure he is not since their camp downplayed this lawsuit.

I don't know why people still talking about the lawsuit, when Manny's camp is not too concern about it.

Regardless of the result of the Spence vs Manny fight, he will still make money and there's no doubt he can pay the damages demanded by the suing party.

The PPV revenue itself is expected to be a huge one, both fighters will enjoy it as they made the right marketing and this fight will be the biggest this year.

I've read a news today on social media, Donaire are so serious about cancelling the fight because Casimero attacks the family of Donaire which makes him mad. I don't know if this is just a way to sell their fight, to make heat on this match but this is indeed unacceptable so I think Donaire is making a good decision here but for sure, money will still be a matter for both teams, we'll see on August.

I see some memes saying.

When Mayorga disrespected De la hoya's wife, De la hoya knock Mayorga in the ring.
Now, Donaire's wife was disrespected according to him, Donaire cancels the fight, this Filipino fight has no class and he has a lot of haters now, especially the wife of Donaire who happened to be his manager as well.
3325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP is pumping now. on: June 29, 2021, 01:36:20 PM
You are both big optimists. XRP will never catch up with Bitcoin .. let me tell you more XRP will never catch up with any real cryptocurrency, for the very obvious reason - it is not a cryptocurrency because it does not follow the basic principle of decentralization. Speculators will earn and lose on XRP, but as far as I am concerned, XRP should not appear in combinations with real cryptocurrencies at all.
I believe in what you say because it is clear that XRP will not be able to pass Bitcoin in many ways and aspects, after all XRP has also experienced problems that some people think will no longer be solved.
Like what exactly?

I think XRP is very useful according to its usage, the problem that I see with XRP is the lawsuit against them and I think there's a positive development on that in favor of the team. Both have a different purpose, the latter is centralized while bitcoin is decentralized, and we can listen to different opinions from people but XRP would not survive and become successful up to the present if investors do not trust it.
indeed the news of this centralized xrp was often heard a few years ago, but as long as i've known bitcoin from 2017, xrp has always been at the top of the rankings on coinmarketcap. from there we can conclude that xrp is indeed suitable for investing, because there are still many investors who believe in it until now

The problem with XRP is that it only had some good pump during the bull run or when the market is bullish, unlike other altcoins which could slowly rise even in normal situation. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I think XPR is heavily manipulated as well, and the team owns a huge chunk of its supply.

Game 4 Hawks versus Bucks. I am still betting for the Bucks here at -6.5. Over 216.5

Trae Young questionable for Game 4. Bone bruise in his foot.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31726560/mri-shows-atlanta-hawks-trae-young-bone-bruise-foot-guard-questionable-game-4
It will be difficult for the Hawks to find their offense if their leader won't be playing with them.
Who will take the point guard position? Will it be Lou Williams? Bogdan also probable while Giannis is also listed but a higher chance to play.
Good luck.

Unlike Hawks where offense relied mostly with Trae, Bucks do have Holiday and Middleton who are both can contribute more enough to lift the team.

It's possible that Bucks will take another game inside Hawks homecourt, they already have the system where they can counter every Hawks attacks, If Giannis will play he's dominance inside really brings tough job for the Hawks.

It's Hawks term to find solution with the aggressions that Bucks is giving them, they need to play that same hypes both offense and defense to compete well.

I don't know but I think if Trae Young is not 100% in game 4, Hawks might be over in game 5.

The momentum is on the Bucks already, they have dominated the Hawks in two games and when they have a good run, they seemed to like it and play with a high confidence.

Trae young is questionable but I think he will play.

3327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: June 26, 2021, 09:42:28 PM
Usage of masks is a big preventive factor in covid-19. Once after the usage of masks, the virus spread decreased drastically. Once the spread started to slow down the governments gave relaxation and that is also a major reason for the second wave around the world. In certain parts of the world the usage of masks were stopped and now once again getting into regulation, because new form of delta virus is into attack.

Are the current vaccines not enough against the different variants of covid-19? I think the best thing to do is just not to go to public places if we still believe that our life is in danger and vaccines would not be able to help us. IMO, there's no reason to wear a mask if we are already vaccinated and it's already protecting our body against the virus.
Vaccines are not guaranteed, you can still have Covid even if you are fully vaccinated just like in India where many people are dying even if they get the vaccine. We have a good gambling site online, it’s good to have this option than to risk yourself playing on the casinos, wearing mask should remain necessary I’d rather have it all the time and protect myself from any virus.

Vaccines would protect you but not the people around your that do not have a vaccine, maybe that's the reason why a mask is still required as we are still not living in a safe world. If a vaccine is not working and it could still kill people, then why these big sporting events are opening to the public already?
They are doing this on trying out the efficacy of said vaccine but turns out that humans becomes test subjects for that because everything wont be known unless if it would be tried but as an individual im still on my right mind on not to do such stuff as we all know that theres no such thing about 100% safe specially now that the pandemic isnt over yet plus there are new mutations where virus had been existing as of this moment which means those vaccines arent giving you fully 100% safe against it and i wont be still that confident on going to crowd without having any protection against it because you wouldnt know on when the virus could possibly infect you.

But wearing a mask is not mandatory anymore right? I'm consistently watching the NBA playoffs and I can see some people in the arena not wearing a mask while the others are wearing, actually, the majority of the people are not wearing mask anymore, so that means they believe the vaccine would protect them and the regulators are just allowing them also.
3328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 26, 2021, 09:31:04 PM
I got the Clippers in game 4.

I have a feeling that they'll be able to even the series by playing the same intensity they've shown in game 3.
There's no much spread movement, so it's still good to take the ML for the home team.

I'm taking the under 218 and Clippers ML. Good luck everyone!

Same here, I'm tailing on the Clippers to win game 4, that's the only bet, for now, I don't want to bet on the total as I find the winner/loser more interesting. I'm watching this game with my family, we will have a fun Sunday especially if the Clippers will win.

Magaling ang Hawks, yan lang masasabi ko.

Ang handicap ng Hawks ay mataas pa rin, kaya para regalo na sa akin yan.
Hindi na ako mag iisip ng malalim, ang bet ko ngayong araw ay Hawks +7.5 lang.

TRAE YOUNG > GINNIAS> EMBIID.  Grin

Nako blow out bro. Akala ko nga rin ma ka-cover ng Hawks yan, pero parang minalas ata. Di ko napanood yung laro, pero sure ako malaki ang tsansa nila sa game 3 or game 4 sa homecourt nila.
Bukas naman mukhang ma ka-cover ng Suns and 1.5 na spread dahil sigurado ako babawi sila. Kung off night si Paul George bukas, sigurado ang panalo ng Suns.

Never pang nag ka off night si PG simula nung nawala si Kawhi, at kahit ma off night siya basta yung contributor na tulad nila Jackson at Mann ay andiyan lang, siguro mananalo pa rin ang Clippers. Siguro si Booker ang kailangan mag improve dahil simula ng physical na ang laro sa kanya ni Beverly, nahihirapan na siyang umiscore.

Basta wag lang magsasawa si PG na umatake ng umatake tapos kick out pag medyo alanganin, yun ang ginawa nila last time na nanalo sila maliban sa magandang depensa na pinakita nila, hindi rin tumigil si PG na sumubok makaiscore dapat ganun lang palagi sya kahit malaat kailangan nyang magpursige.

Kailangan ulit ang tulong ni Mann at Beverly syempre sa depensa at ung mga puntos ni Jackson at Morris. Bahala na si Coach kung paano nya lalaruin malamang sa malamang susubukan ng Suns makaisa kaya Good luck na lang sa lahat.

Medyo pumapanig na sa Clippers ang mga bettors, dating underdog, ngayon nasa -1 na sila. Di naman malaki ang movement pero dahil sa pinakita nila sa game 3, lumalaki na ang tiwala ng mga fans na mananalo ulit sila dito sa larong ito. Yang mga pangalan na nabanggit mo ay mga inaasahan kung magbibigay ng puntos sa team ng Clippers, dapat sa defense talaga consistent sila.
3331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 26, 2021, 08:22:46 PM

Agreed.  Jrue stepping up his aggressiveness on Trae was key.  Atlanta will need to find another way to win than just Trae.  Someone else has to step up big time in atlanta otherwise Bucks will just smother trae.

Trae needs help from the rest of the team, this is what I like with Atlanta the coaching staff allow Trae to takeover and with the support he's getting from his teammates the adjustment are being done inside the court.

Last game really off night for everyone, Bucks played good defense and Giannis really attacking them with much higher confidence.

Just like what I've said, it's up to Hawks to adjust and find the right system, they need to move the ball and they need to help Trae
to find his comfort, defense always pointing him rotating to free him or to find the best options should provide by everyone who are
inside the court.

Bogdanovic was the second really good player after Young but injuries are crashing him in this play off not 100% in this games,but when he is 100% he is a really deadly shooter. But Young is dominating the playoffs and they got a break in Milwaukee so this is actully really good for Atlanta

Game 2 was their biggest loss of the Hawks but I believe in this team, they have reached this far for a reason so they will not easily give up and let the Bucks dominate them throughout the series. They just have a bad game, and it cost them one game only.

We've seen a lot of that scenario, just like when the Bucks were dominated by the Nets, but they come back with a good strategy and beat the nets in the end.
3332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC down , does the altcoin will keep strong on: June 26, 2021, 06:55:43 PM
I can't be so sure that altcoins will be able to survive if Bitcoin goes further down below 30000 barrier. According to my experience some altcoins (especially Ethereum) may outperform Bitcoin sometimes. I mean in limited time conditions. But in overall weak Bitcoin always pulls market down so hard.

So in short, if you want to diversify your portfolio, other than btc, better choose the very top alts like ETH or BNB. So even if btc is down, we all know that most of the time, the top alts can survive and may even rise on their own, depending on their actual developments. But most of the alts will go down the drain especially those that are created for the mere purpose of devs' pockets.
Altcoins this time will never survive if they don't show any progress or good developments in the past days. Bitcoin is really down today so how much more with those altcoins who have less potentials than bitcoin.

But i'm surprised with how ethereum and BNB performing these days because they are not even much affected with how the market goes. In this case, ethereum might probably overtake bitcoin's performance seeing its consistent positive price.
3333  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your top picks to buy the dip? on: June 26, 2021, 06:35:57 PM
TOP Pick?, of course I will choose BNB, because this June Binance has released the NFT marketplace,
and indeed the trend this year is NFT, so there is great potential for BNB to be able to quickly recover from the corrections,
I am a holder of BNB and I do not thinking about this downturn, I'm holding on!.
BNB has also its great potentials to make it in the future but for me, i will stick into ethereum and bitcoin. They are always my top picks even if defi value went upside down. Bitcoin will eventually recover from this downtrend and ethereum will definitely go hand in hand with bitcoin.

Ethereum has been making a great performance these days and if its transaction will be more cheaper compared before, i think more investors will definitely chose bitcoin over the others.

Bucks murdered the Hawks, we didn't see a competitive game and it was a huge blowout win by them.
It's good that they were able to even the series already, Hawks going back at home, I think Bucks will still remain as the favorites but I don't expect another blowout win by either team.

How about the Clippers vs Suns game 4. What's your bet here? will the Clippers even the series also?
3336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: June 25, 2021, 09:40:56 PM
.. but don't try to earn money through gambling.

Don't tell that to those experienced gamblers who have made a fixed income thru gambling.

That's why there are professional gamblers. These people know how to manage their bankroll properly, plus their good gambling skills, that's why even the difficult part, which is turning their gambling activity into revenue, they made it possible.

For us casual gamblers, we can't be like that so that's where the part of only gamble the amount afford to lose should be applied.

I have to agree with that as I'm one of the believers that there are people who really make money in gambling consistently, there's a professional gambler and they called themselves professional for a reason. The reality is sad because majority of the gamblers loses, but it's not impossible to make money in gambling if you have the skills in doing it, so that's where the statement is coming that one could make money in gambling.
3337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 25, 2021, 09:27:24 PM
I don't know, but Spence Jr. hasn't fought a boxer as fast and as Manny, so we might see him expose in this fight as some experts believe that Spence is too slow for Manny Pacquiao. We have a lot of predictions to consider but it's the speed I believe which is the advantage of Manny.
If Manny Pacquiao is in his prime touch then he will trouble Errol Spence Jr with his speed and there is no debate about that and some here are confident that he is really training hard even though he did not fight in he past two years and if Manny Pacquiao can bring that same style of offensive boxing he will easily beat Errol Spence but the odds makers are also looking at the age and so is the reason Manny Pacquiao is heavy underdog.
I dont think if people will consider the age gap of Manny Pacquiao compared to Spence Jr., at his age Pacquiao can still fight with the same strength even though he didn't fight for almost two years. If we really compared both fighters, in my own, I still prefer on Manny Pacquiao technically because he is faster than Spence and once a good fighter is all about the skills how to fight not only rely on the strength.

I saw a short video clip of Manny Pacquiao and his training and it seems he trained very hard and prepare his self on this fight. I still on his side on the match.

Not everyone thinks about that age gap though, I am one of the many believers of Manny Pacquiao and I believe he can still beat another champion. Spence may be a tough opponent but Manny will always find his opponent's weakness and beat him.  Being an underdog is a gift because as a bettor, we always like to get good value for our bet while thinking our fighter has the bigger chance of winning.
3338  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: June 25, 2021, 01:04:49 PM
So hindi pa na-break yung trend ng Clippers 0-2 start sa series tapos bawi sa susunod. Congrats sa mga tumaya. Nag-pass muna ako dahil sa pagbabalik ni CP3 at homecourt naman ng Clippers. Medyo nahirapan ako magisip kanino tataya Grin Goodluck sa game 4
Sa game 4, Clippers pa rin yan, umaarangkada na ang Clippers at mas gaganahan na sila ngayong nasa kanila na ang momentum.
PG, Mann, Jackson and Zubac, nagpakitang gilas talaga kaya nawala focus ng Suns.


Next game BUCKS vs. ATL, fear the deer pa din.
Siguro babawi ang Bucks dito, pero not sure kung kaya nila ang -7.5 na handicap ngayon.
3339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big companies finally had enough of the excessive tax on: June 25, 2021, 11:46:33 AM
Even if it is completely legal. I think the loopholes that allow this to happen should be closed.

There are no loopholes in my opinion as I search about it, tax avoidance has legal ways to done properly. And in case the government will know this, it won't be subject to closure since that business who do some tax avoidance still comply with paying tax. They don't evade it.

It's a famous practice of some businesses today for years especially those in the middle tier. As long as these businesses are updated with their tax commitment, they won't be subject to closure even they are doing tax avoidance since they don't evade it.

I agree with that, it's called art in accounting and accountants are really good at that.  It's done in a legal way that's why it's important to find a smart accountant so a business would be able to minimize its tax liability.

to me this question sounds like, is the old shitcoin better than the new shitcoin?
you know coins without real use will not last long in the crypto market. what's more with meme coins, maybe today you see the price of meme coins like doge, inu and others go up, but it won't be the same in the future. When the meme coin hype ends, such coins will be worthless.

These are just shitcoins, and it will never be better because it's a complete waste in the crypto space, maybe they are hype at some time but they are really useless in the long run, some people make money from it, not because of its potential but because they are just gambling on it.

Consider it as a gamble, not an investment.
