Nothing's gonna change with those opinions but nevertheless, nba will stay with positive or negative opinion.

No big sports league that has not received any negative opinion from the people, we have millions or billions of watchers and some of that has a kind of different mind, trying to spot the abnormalities of the game and make a conspiracy theory, it will never grow old my friend, in the next generation we will still see a lot of content about rigged games but the league will still continue.

Return, was IEO already gone?

If I would choose, of course I would like to see ICO but a more regulated one because with ICO, there's no limitation of projects created in the market, unlike IEO where mostly the exchange dictate the future of the project, which is not good because it would also limit the creation of projects as investors will just likely invest on projects that has IEO in big exchanges, which not every project can afford to get listed.

Or maybe he had bet another few bets for Joe Biden to hedge with better courses.. So as you say looking only at a dry facts is not enought to judge about whole situation

Not enough time to hedge, and Biden when he was leading only had a betting odds of 1.20 or 1.10, if I'm with Trump who knows from the very beginning that I bet on the underdog, I would not hedge anymore as it's not a good idea to spend more money just to get back a little amount and still resulted with a big loss.

Snoop Dogg just said that Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. is the biggest fight of the year.
They may not be in their prime time, but everyone is talking about them, and they are taking this fight seriously.
The reason for the hyped interest even at their advanced age is because Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Junior were the idols of many of that generations and everyone tried to imitate them in one way shape or form and they dominated the world of boxing and everyone was in awe of their performances and now we have a video game scenario, two boxers who competed in different weight class but elite legendary fighters facing each other and that is the interest you will get and it will be a sell out PPV just to see both compete.

True, but it was more on Tyson who bring this fight into popularity since he was the more popular and not everyone know Roy Jones Jr., but if you ask people about Mike Tyson, they know about him even in the 3rd world country.

Somehow it's still the chemistry that needed in order to make a better team, if the deal will proceed it's also needs for the players to
adjust up from one another.

If harden being paired to Embiid and they both shared the ball properly the threat of both inside and outside are very dangerous for
the opposing team.

Knowing how good the percentages of this two stars, but again, it's going to depends from how
they'll blend together and how their supporting teammates will paly along with them.

When it comes to chemistry then it will surely be needed of some time which is usual specially when new players is blended up with the team with its old players.

I dont see any problem for Harden to go with Sixers and being paired with Embid which it would really be a good duo i can say.



Chemistry is what they are going to build when 2 superstars are playing in one team, Embiid had some chemistry problem with Ben Simmons therefore one of them should go, and it should be Simmons for sure as Embiid is more valuable than him.

For Rockets i dont see for this thing to be a good one and they will surely be crippled on losing one of their best players.

We will never know, maybe at the start they will, but once they were able to rebuild their team, in time they will surely improve.
3386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: November 06, 2020, 01:32:51 PM
Mayweather his right, the idea was originated by him so he got the people to interest the fight, and people who have already watch the Mayweather vs Conor fight might not be interested in this fight as they have already seen what's going to happen.

Conor will just be a punching bag for this legendary fighters, maybe if Manny will fight him, he will just play him so the game would last but Conor does not really have a chance here.
yeah I agree, Conor is not being know for being a boxer but I'm mma, I think the opponent that has more experience and well trained in this particular sports, these sports has a lot of common but the thing is boxing is different in throwing punches I mean forgive me guys if I am saying a wrong thing but in boxing it is continuous punches in mma they can make punches but not consistently and they can use legs, thigh, side kick etc. I am in favor of course to the boxer rather than Conor.
Conor has no win on his professional boxing, but he get big fights due to this popularity, if I'm not mistaken, he first fight was only Mayweather, the best in boxing in his time and now he likes to face Manny. Look, he has no intention to win, all he will do in the ring is just to survive and avoid not getting hurt, then he will enjoy the big reward.

You may have a point on that mate, just like what happened to timothy bradley if you remember, where Bradley's did only was avoid Manny's
attack until the last round round ended up, so this will possible to happen again via Conor, it could also be that Conor is only after for popularity to connect His name to those boxer who are popular in boxing career only, am I right?

Honestly, Conor here is not a boxer, he only fight to get easy money, can't compare it with Bradley or any boxer which has a chance of beating Pacquiao, this one is going to be a one sided beat down if Pacquiao will take this seriously, Conor's career could be affected if he will allow himself to be seriously injured in this fight like what happen to Margarito.

Here's the thing, if Manny can beat a legit boxer easily, so Conor is just a piece of cake, just to be frank, no offense intended.

Today the ETH began its flight. I can't wait for the full launch of Network 2.0 anymore. It will be a breakthrough.

They are clever, they are making the launch at the right timing when the market is bullish, I can already sense that once bitcoin will continue it's bullish run, ETH would eventually follow to the moon.
3388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good news for ETH on: November 06, 2020, 12:09:26 PM
They are not the only bank who are in partner with the Ethereum, there's some bank I know but a small bank though.
"The Reserve Bank of Australia" is a huge bank, so it's a huge success for Ethereum, and I can expect that more and more bank will follow with this news.

More banks will used the Ethereum network will give more confident to other bank as well, bank going blockchain is a big success not only in Ethereum but in the entire crypto space.

It was exciting to feel that moment, but if we lose, only regret that we will felt.

This kind of feeling should be eliminated because it will affect your future decision.
When you put emotion in gambling, you'll never be consistent in the long run as eventually you will lose your focus.

Believe me, I've been there.

I do support a team but I don't just let my emotion run free.

It is true that you are supporting a team but that doesn't mean that you can risk your money with them without doing any analysis or anything that could increase your chances of winning. We are talking about your money here, so you don't need to always just go with that team always, you need to use your head first before your heart as they said it.

That's good to hear, your emotion is the one killing our plan, every gambler who knows how to analyze games makes his own analysis before putting his bet, he only got some trouble if he got caught up with his emotion while in the middle of the session. Maybe we can start trying on our own experiment, what we do is to gamble consistently and learn how and when to stop when we are in winning or losing situation.

This is one of the examples of having to play high risk, high reward games.
Gambling by general definition is already called a high risk game, hence you'll get high reward in return.


This should be one of the ultimate example to not bet money, you can't afford to lose. Betting high amount, once started will only lead to many mistakes because you'll start to tilt and loss more money than win. That's why, you need discipline to not chase loses if in a lose streak.
Exactly, it will create an addiction since not every gambler can afford to lose what they are betting and are good in accepting defeat.
sometimes, a gambler thinks he is invincible so he keep betting and would not give up until he recovers his loses, which is wrong as we see in this example.
If they like to win instantly and recover their loses instantly, that's a wrong mentality, made it more risky.
3391  Economy / Economics / Re: Not enough Corona Virus Vaccine until 2024, at earliest on: November 06, 2020, 10:07:53 AM
Even if there is a vaccine by 2022 or 2023, the virus will certainly have changed, so the vaccine will no longer be correct, just as flu viruses change every year. In Norway, there have recently been the first reports that a new strain of the virus has been discovered, which is said to be less deadly but even more infectious. We will be dealing with this virus for years to come. Thanks to the Chinese, who missed this epedemic for many weeks and did not inform the world. Otherwise others could have intervened much earlier.
We can't blame anyone here because it will not end, they themselves also have suffered against the virus, so maybe let's just hope and pray that those who are task to find the vaccine will make it available soon. Until now we still can't figure out how to kill this virus, it seems like we are just living with the fear that one day we might get infected and we can't last long in that situation, we demand our normal life to be back so our struggle will be solve.

Some sources said China already have the vaccine and they just keep it their own, but that are just speculations, it's not proven.
Those are just conspiracies but basing of that no. of infected hadnt increased then i cant blame off people not to think that they are having indeed some cure or somewhat that do get rid of the virus.
Its just impossible that there would be no numbers that will be added up since theres still no cure and the virus is highly contagious.As in talks for the vaccine then its understandable
that pharmaceutical companies would really be giving out their best to find the cure or vaccine since once they would able to hit it up then that means a multi billion profits in the making.
So its just normal for them to hasten up but for sure it will still takes time for us to get the final cure.
If greediness or the interest of money is what they value over the health of the people, this is what will happen, we need to wait until the demand will increase which is at the expense of people getting ill and some have died before they will release the virus.

if there's a conspiracy between the government and private institution, there's no way we have a fight in here.

.
You should learn how to bet profitably and responsibly.
gambling isnt about memorizing to be profitable but being responsible in gambling is a sure thing that can be done by any gambler . i was once an adict but i said to my self that im stronger than my mind . our minds cant control us or dictate our life but we can get out on an unhealthy habit .

Quote
If you're betting based on luck then bet only with little/small amount once or occasionally. You should have the skills and be consistently profitable before you can start betting consistently and with higher amounts.
Bet but don't gamble
betting higher amount wont hurt if you dont do it often . we dont really need a precise skills before we can play gambling and we can still experience to win consistently but its better if we dont try to over gamble just to prove that we can .

The question is can a gambler be responsible?
Well, it's not hard to be responsible as I believe majority of the gamblers are responsible, that's why they are still gambling despite the fact they are losing. Being responsible does not mean you'll win all the time, even if you are a loser as long as you are responsible you'll definitely have no problem in the long run as you are just gambling within your limit.


Gambling (or taking big risk) in betting world does not sound responsible to me~snip~


Then there's nothing to discuss since in the first place, you are already against gambling as a whole.

3394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why most of us are losing money in sports betting? on: November 05, 2020, 10:57:50 PM
I think that in sports betting gamblers get more confident because they think they have lower risk for being involved in some sport having information, following it and being more able to predict the outcome not depending only on luck. Therefore they probably risk more and often overestimate their chances for winning. I know that I sometimes do that

Disagree with that. Being confident is common once you trust your analysis.

But the thing is, games are also unpredictable even how good our analysis. Therefore strategy+knowledge+luck.

It's not because of confidence why gamblers lose, it's a must on the other hand. We lose sometimes as that's what gambling is supposed to be.

Definitely we will be confident if we study a game before playing a bet, but you are right, confidence does not mean you'll win easily, we just need to be at the right side most of the time in order to win, and we have to ensure a proper bankroll management so we would result into profit.

It's easier said than done to be honest, but we are gamblers, we have an individual belief, however our record does not lie so we better check it first before we will say that we are already successful in gambling, lastly, we need to be realistic.
3395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: November 05, 2020, 10:30:18 PM
I can't wait to see the 2021 NBA season starts. Last season, Lakers had wonderful games and they succeeded in being the champions. I wish Heat would make their work be harder and see a more challenging series. It is too early to make predictions for the new season. We will wait and observe which team will start the season the best.
Heat with the same squad will always struggle against a healthy West team (whichever teams will enter in the Finals) because they are just composed of one real superstar and a bunch of young players who does not have enough playoffs experience.

I'm leaning for the Nets, Celtics, and Sixers next season for the East.

Sixers hopefully would improve under a new coach, based on my observation, during coach Doc's first year in a team, they are usually successful, so probably he can bring something to this team to be consistent, not only in the regular season but most especially in the playoffs.

I hope everyone will be smart in dealing with crypto investment.

The golden rule is, never invest in a project that offers an instant and big return as 99% they are scams.
Regardless of the name of the project, the people behind it, as long as they offer a too good to be true return, better stay away with it.

Any update Guys when this fight will be Held?surely not happening this year right?

I'm so eager to see my money doubled thinking that Manny Pacquiao will Win on this fight.

and another amount from my friend if the deal happens before the fight,Though i am confident that this will be in details to happen either this year or next.
This is going to happen next year according to some information we can read online, but there's no specific date, we have to wait until a contract is sign.
About your bet, if your friend favors  McGregor to win against Manny, then I would say you are making easy money and you can double your money.
if you bet online, the betting odds will surely be low, probably 1.10 and below since Manny is a sure winner here.
3400  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: November 04, 2020, 05:58:04 AM
The only reason this fight might not happen is because Conor McGregor is contracted with the UFC and he needs their permission to fight anyone else.
Dana White expressed his plans about creating his own boxing promotion and he might inaugurate it once again by having Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor but for that to happen things should go back to normal and they should be allowed to have fans in the arena.

Wow, didn't know that, I think that would be great if he will make his own promotion as that means the boxing world will be more popular with popular promoters getting in, actually this is just about the money, I doubt Dana White would not allow McGregor when he allowed him to fight against Mayweather before and this is not a UFC fight, it's a boxing fight and McGregor is a license boxer.

That would be great as this guy will open some opportunities for other boxers who wanted to be their Idols. now that we have another big-time promoter coming, those boxers who are not yet signed with some promoters will be excited and looking for this opportunity that maybe they will gonna signed with Dana's boxing promotion.

Good for boxing in general because seeing a limited promoters is boring as they can just easily cherry pick their fighters opponent so boost the other while the other fighter will suffer, we don't want to consistently see that, we need a more exciting fight and as a fans we all deserve that.

Dana White has a big capability of running his own promotion, and he can compete with the most popular promoters in the sports of boxing.

Hopefully we will see some development on this plan of his.
