We could do the same thing.
Use Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook as a weapon to educate those who may possibly be a victim of this attempts.

We cannot control how many will follow us or read it.
But, there will always be the possibility that someone will read it and avoid this scams.
It may be a low chance but a chance is still a chance. 1% is better than 0.

Thanks, guys.
We are lucky.
I am sorry bisdak you missed it. But I know you will also take that bet if you ever had the time.

Look at the ML's now.
Something you will emotionally bet if you are a fan. Yeah! I am one of the victims of an emotional bet.  Grin
No handicaps.

I'll doubt this time if he can get both of those awards, but who knows? I think Giannis has a chance to get those and possibilities are always endless. I can vouch for the MVP award but DPOY, I think it will goes to Jabbar-Davis, just LBJ's new nickname.

With his performance, it's not far that he will get that award, but the big award is winning the NBA Finals and getting the Finals MVP, and IMO, only great players do that like Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Kevin Durant, Giannis badly need that kind of award.
And it's a big award because of the difficulty level of the playoffs.
You can relax a bit with the season but on that playoffs moment every point, rebound, assist, steal and block will matter.
There is no going back when you lose 1 game. It will hurt a lot unlike losing a game in season.

To help for the candidates votes for the awards, here is a voting created by CBS staff.

A lot of reasons. Purposes.
What if at the beginning of it the true purpose is just to gather money and exit? Scammy attempts.
Bankruptcy could also be an issue. I already experienced that with one of my bought tokens.
They might have a reason and you cannot do anything about it since you will pay more for legal help just to chase them.
Will you go to so much trouble and expense just for that?

Okay Brooklyn, thanks for making my day once again.
I need to savor this win.
Beers for everyone!!!  Grin

I lost my over and under parlay again but WTH! I don't even feel it.
Once felt really good. But twice? I can't even describe it.

This is the last thing Damian needs right now, he and team mates should just get their selves together and focus on making the playoff,

Is it consistency or chemistry?
What could be missing?
CJ is still there and so is Damian. They still have a great offense.
They just added Melo. Did something change after that?


Lets go Brooklyn!!!  Grin

Sports betting, analysis is needed but it doesn't mean it will always go that way.
Most of the time, not. Depends on how good a player could be. There will always be the off nights.
Expectations could also fog decisions. But yeah, it needs knowledge and updates about the sport.

Horse racing, I think you would need the same. Analysis, knowledge about the horse.
That might only be the twist of it, unlike multiplayer sports where you would need to keep track of every player that has an impact for the team.

They are counting the contribution and hard work of Kawhi.

But the sentence that made my eyebrows raise is the part of the article that says, they can do it again even without Kawhi.

Because they can.
Relying on one superstar is not a good thing.
A team is a team. Everyone should contribute and they are proving that now.
Yeah, Kawhi had made a lot of contribution for the Raptors back then. But, it is also because it is composed of great roleplayers on his wing.
Saikam, Lowry and Ibaka.
Now, other players who haven't got minutes before are having their best opportunity. It's still a good thing. It's not that bad at all.

Careful what you wish for.  Grin
This looks like a selfish thread.

Have you ever thought about those who are still keeping their coins intact for a better purpose in the future?
I doubt you did.
You should've thought about what coin you will pick from the start. Right?

Damn Blazers. I thought they can do this.  Grin Are they worn out or something?
As I see it, only 9 players used minutes in-game while 10 for Clippers without Kawhi.

Anyway, I still won my bet in over and under parlay.
It could have been better if they win since Dallas is still fighting. @overtime!

Edit: Ergh!!! could've won it all.
3351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: August 08, 2020, 05:30:04 PM
Just want to share my bets later.



2 must wins Blazers and Suns and 1 because I am a Dallas fan.
I guess I can't stop myself from betting for that team.
Just my instincts, they might win this.

I don't want to put it that way since it was created in a year of a financial crisis.
What are whales for you?
If they are just the big part of bitcoin then would you stay?
As you said that means manipulation. They could easily make waves with just a single click.
Would you like that?

As of economy, now there is pandemic. Economy is down.
But look at bitcoin.
Would you really rely on bitcoin movement for the growth or fall of the economy?

As I'm looking for some news, this got my eyebrows to raise.

--> https://www.nba.com/article/2020/08/07/raptors-still-elite-without-leonard?collection=news

What do you say? after Kawhi contributing them to a championship.

What part?
I am looking for the part where my eyebrows will be raised too.
But I have seen none.
It's long, but it's full of good comments thrown into Kawhi by Nick Nurse.

I think the purpose of this article is to highlight that Raptors didn't die.
They improved their game. Which is a good thing now.
Mostly for teams left by stars is like a cemetery. i.e. Cleveland

Summary: It's a good article.
3354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why most people think Bitcoin is a scam? on: August 08, 2020, 11:32:24 AM
Isn't it the same division when people look at their government.
Others will agree but some will not.

I always looked at how people think about bitcoin like that.
They have their opinions. I respect that.
But, giving them an idea is a good step forward. We don't need to force it to them. Somehow they will bump into something where it would make them interested with Bitcoin.
Or, after talking to them, a chance they will do their research.

Yet there is still a bit more wiggle room, people may want to pay more so they can get it on the next block if it is possible or they might be fine to wait 10 hours for it, giving them that option would be cool as well.
As far as I know, we already have that type of withdrawal, the only downside is that users are unable to manually adjust the transaction fees due to the possibility of having a backlog of transaction when someone withdrew their funds with a too little amount of sats/vbyte.

Users can still be able to put a larger amount of tx fees to be confirmed in the next few blocks as soon as possible if he uses the "Instant Withdrawal" function which is very much unlike in terms of choosing "batch withdrawals". As per my experience, using batch withdrawals took me around 3-5 hours of waiting time depending on the number of people withdrawing their funds out of YOLOdice wallet, pending tx in mempool or the unavailability of funds in their hotwallet.

Same with me. 5 hours might be the longer I experienced in a time where bitcoin is stable.
But when it pumps so hard you will definitely find it longer to withdraw in the batch pool.

I guess you could say that many bitcoin holders are trying to withdraw also to take the profit from the pump.
You will able to comprehend it when you got used to it.
Try also looking at the price fluctuation of bitcoin. Once it goes up and the dynamic mode of Yolo is not yet updating you will find your transaction gets longer. Of course, those who paid more will be the priority.

In the end, I always use the batch type. It's cheap and I am not really in a hurry.  Grin
3356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: August 08, 2020, 03:55:21 AM


Something i got today, 3-legged parlay 10.27 total odds

I bashed Grizzlies real hard yesterday, saying they won't win another game but i changed my mind when i heard Steven Adams was going to miss the game. This was basically last chance for Grizz to stay in the mix for playoff spots. It was all Memphis after the 1st q.

Back-to-back games for Kings, they don't play defense very often (lol), perfect opportunity for Nets to grab a win and secure the 7th seed in the East.

76ers with the lowest odds, had some trouble vs. Orlando's zone d in the first half, pulled away in the 4th.

Solid day!  Smiley

Congratulations man! Wow!

We just saw in that OKC vs MEM game how big of a loss is Steven Adams.
He ain't just huge, his agile too. So, yeah MEM could steal a win because of that.

I lost my parlay, thanks to 76ers vs Magic scoring low.  Undecided
3357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Goldman Sachs are eyeing to create their own digital asset! on: August 07, 2020, 06:41:07 PM
Now that's a bubble.   Grin

Yeah, they should create their own digital assets all of them.
Goldman, JP, Vanguard, fidelity, etc..
That way we will see what is the real deal.

Is it Bitcoin or their newly created coins that came from nowhere and created for the reason of profit once again.  Cheesy
3358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: August 07, 2020, 04:03:05 PM
Also i'm betting for the Boston Celtics ML 2.20, stadus is on a streak and i can't go against him lol. My take is that after consecutive wins i think the Raptors will relax a bit on this game.

Oooh!! Another one thing to consider.
But Celtics could do the same thing. Just relax for a bit since both of the teams are on a secured spot.  Grin
They are also 2-2. Not bad for a team that plays safe.
I'll try single bet. I have been greedy for a streak, might as well calm down a bit.  Cheesy



If we think they will relax, how about betting on the over 219, that's very low from this two offensive teams if they will not play hard in this game.
With that, we don't have to choose anymore between the two, just hope it will go over and then we will win, in addition, the team are both competitive so a possibility of an OT might happen.

I actually added that to my parlay if you look up.
When I see over 215-220 total scores I smell win which is why I already took it and added more.  Grin
Raptors offense and defense have improved, so I think they can still get a good score even if they lose this game.

While on the other hand I bet under 237 for the Pelicans against Wizards.
Pelicans can score 100-120 but the fact that they need to win, defense is a must.
Wizards might get a low scoring game if that happens. Also, they haven't win a game, its something that lessens the moral.

3360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: August 07, 2020, 10:52:50 AM

Therefore, without doubting what the Blazers can do, betting on Blazers -3.5. GL


Well done stadus.



Good luck on your pick today but I'm betting on the hot team, Raptors will win this game like they always do.

I promise to myself that I won't bet against the Suns and Raptors until they lose, so I'll bet against yours.

I second.
I am going against stadus here.  Grin
Will be doing it later. Jazz and Spurs game is still not open yet. I think I might for the Spurs there.
They are 2-2 now and they will need every win they can make starting from the Jazz.
Next will be the Pelicans and then a difficult fight against strong Houston.

Later for team bets. Over and under is already cooked.  Grin
