Well it's obvious that we have been seeing a sideway pattern for the last 4 months. For some this is not good as their portfolio is in red, nevertheless for experience and smart investors, this is a great opportunity to just restock sats in your wallet because the price of bitcoin is around -70% from it's all time high, so it is at a discount.

So the best strategy is DCA, and I would say is very safe even for newbies to implement as it is very easy.

You just have to be mentally prepared when you got a bad loss. For me I just quit and take a break and walk. Sometimes you really have to face your worst fear and that you have to look at what went wrong with your gambling that night.

For sure you will have a good sleep after that. But you have to remind yourself that it ain't feel very good. So at least maybe next time you can control your addiction. And won't put yourself in that difficult position again and suffer another bad loss. Maybe you will have to quit early.

Another game , another defeat for Lakers and another awful game for Westbrook. This dude has lost his passion for basketball and it drags the entire draft down with him that at this point the entire Lakers squad should be really worries about this season performance because it doesn't look good no matter from what angle you look on them. Sad

This has been the case for the Lakers in this pre-season game, really hard to see what kind of adjustments they have to make to maximize and bring Westbrook out of the slump. They have to win big against a low team to have that confidence.

Meanwhile , Pelicans lost their first game on ET but Jazz had some great team plays last night and a clutch trow.

Huge win by the Jazz in OT, Pelicans really play that good, but I will say that the Jazz is clutch and they seems to be enjoying that Mitchell and Gobert ad now gone.

Celtics is the favorite against the Bulls next game, so I might as well bet on the Celtics in handicap.

Sumadsag ng bahagya sa $18k ang market pero ngayon nasa $19,150 lamang, so wala paring pinagbago at bagkus mukhang ito na muna ang support natin, kalimutan muna ang $20k kasi mukhang mahihirapan tayo.

At heto narin muna ang trending hanggang sa katapusan ng taon na to, sideways. So maaring maganda kasi makakabili pa tayo ng mura or mag-antay na baka bumaba na naman sa $17k or lower next year.
We have to accept this current trend, mas ok maging ready for a more cheaper price kase ang strong paren talaga ng bear market ngayon and possible na mas bumaba pa ito.
If ever na umabot ito until December, panigurado marame ang magaacquired ng Bitcoin kase dyan marameng pera ang mga Pinoy. Safe range na siguro ito ni Bitcoin, and para makasiguro imonitor paren naten ito so we can know when to buy and sell.

Kung pababa pa rin ang trend hanggang sa last month ng taon malamang pabor sa mga long-term investors ang sitwasyon, sa ating mga pinoy na meron regular na trabaho malamang yung mga bonuses na matatanggap eh magagamit sa investment, medyo mahirap lang din  mag tansya kasi ang nature na volatile nitong crypto market eh nakaka kaba talagang pasukin.

Sa mga investors naman na nakakaintindi ng pagkakataon eh malamang ung bear market talaga ang inaabangan para makapag tabi ng mas malaki laking halaga ng crypto.

Talagang pabor, napakamura ng bitcoin at ang ibang crypto dahil sa patuloy na pagbaba. Hindi na nga natin an sustain ang $20k support pero parang may mapaghang pagtaas nitong last 24 hours na pumalo pa nga sa $19,600 pero ngayon nasa $19,300.

At least hindi na masyadong bumaba pa na katulad ng ibang prediction na bago mag $10k or $15k. So ganun parin ang silip ko, baka heto na rin ang maging presyo hanggang katapusan ng taon at panalong panalo ang mga investors na may kapital dahil napaka mura parin ng presyo ng bitcoin.

And so Ramirez didn't view Bivol as his tougher opponent so far:

Quote
“Not really,” said Ramirez during an interview with FightHype.com when asked if Bivol is the best fighter he’s taken on. “I been in the ring with so many good fighters. I think this is really important for me because it’s a title fight but I been with really good fighters too.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/zurdo-ramirez-view-bivol-best-opponent-hes-ever-faced--169923

Oh well, yes Zurdo is undefeated and won his last couple of fights are against fighters that are old and way past their prime. But this time it will be against a prime fighter in Bivol. Maybe he underestimate Bivol here and that is very dangerous. Or maybe this is just part of the trash talking but we all know that most of the time, it will backfire on them.

Interesting fight between Paul and Silva, if I remember it right Silva is already pursuing his career into boxing after UFC, he have the fundamentals and with his speed I'm sure it will be tough for Paul to box him, though for sure there's a script here and we don't know what's the plan behind doors, just wanted to see talent and skills coming from Silva while watching and the rest will be part of the entertainment..
Well, we've been all suspicious when there's a match that involves the Paul brothers. We can't be sure what they're up to especially if the subject is all about being competitive.

Yeah, one classic example is the Floyd fight, he has a chance to knockout Logan Paul, but it ended up in a draw. So I guess this kind of exhibition match are really predetermined and rigged in the beginning.

After all, these are all matches that they've been making up and they're the ones making the contracts and agreements that would be favorable to them but beneficial to the chosen opponents like Silva and the others. The good thing here is that they're giving probably generous contracts to these fighters that they box.

So could be the same outcome here, we might see a draw I reckon.

He can't afford to lose to Silva and the same goes to Anderson as well. So there could be some in the contract that we might see another 'controlled' results.

What a win for Ginebra, many already thought Magnolia will win but it looks like the game plan has changed and it will now in favor to Ginebra. It’s good to see their hassle in the last part of 4th quarter, I watch the game and I think they really deserve the win tonight. Well, this is basketball and there’s no safe lead for any team. Magnolia should take this as a lesson not to be complacent.

I was currently driving during that game but I'm aware of the scores. I'm also one of those who think Magnolia will win. Never seen yet the game highlights on how Ginebra was able to make a rally but I will say, it's really impressive. Who are these players that become a key to their winning?

It was another classic come from behind win by Ginebra and the crowd of about 12,000 was going crazy, hehehe.

Brownlee's jumper with a minute left seal the deal for the Magnolia as Ginebra took the lead that time and never look back. They scored a huge 30 point 4th quarter explosion as compare to Magnolia who can only get 14 points.

And then Brownlee's 2 crucial free throws with 21 seconds left is the dagger.

Just bad for Magnolia to lost this way at they have a huge lead but just melting down on the pressure from Ginebra.

3388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 23, 2022, 10:59:13 PM
I have a very attractive bet tomorrow.
LA Lakers is only -3.5 against the Blazers, they are on a two losing streak, I'm sure they'll play harder in order to win.
So what you do you think about this betting spread? Should I be confident on betting on the LA Lakers, or will just stay away from this game?
Dejavu like last year. I was caught many times by that trap with the thought that they will win it now and the next one and then so on...
Until I don't know how much "nth" time I lost my bet for them. I will pass for the Lakers for now.

Lakers though lost to Blazers, 106-104. So yeah, I would agree, it's another deja vu from last year, they are the heavy favorites in this pre season game and they lost easy games. And then we though, nah, this is just  pre season and everything can change. But lo and behold, one of the worst season for Lebron as a Laker.

My pick for tonight.

Golden State Warriors(-2,5) vs Sacramento Kings = First Quarter 1,80 odds

I think it will be easy game for Golden State. Sacramento can't win this game.

Good luck.

Tailing you on the first quarter bet on Warriors, I haven't tried this one for a while.

Although I have risk in the odd/even score per quarter which is around 1.89 odds.
3389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why ETH price keeps decreasing? on: October 23, 2022, 10:42:53 PM
All altcoins fluctuate in price depending on Bitcoin.  But cryptocurrency prices never follow the stock market.  Stock market is one thing and cryptocurrency is a different thing.  Cryptocurrencies are not comparable to the stock market. So I disagree with your example
Crypto market has no correlation with stock market but if there is any similarity of price movement chart then it is just coincidence and unrelated, so he should be able to tell the difference and since the two are on different sides I also disagree and he should know more on the crypto market.
It has, you shall watch it properly. The market was always following the stock market. The correctlation was also very strong. It';s caused by investors who have been investing in the crypto was also doing the same thing with the stock market too. I think that you must also aware about this. This is the truth and it can't be denied. The price movement in the crypto is pretty similar as stock market.

My observations also do not see any correlation between crypto market and stock market, no evidence that stock investors are also investing in crypto. My friends who invest in stocks don't like cryptocurrencies, and I'm the opposite of them. The common point of both is that both are in a crisis economy and are both risky markets, so there will be common reactions when any bad news happens. This similarity will soon end when the economy recovers and returns to normal.

For me, we can't really deny that there is some sort of correlation between all financial markets, it's that crypto is very volatile as compare to stock market and others. And that's why there are traders in other market that doesn't want to try crypto and then there are those wall street who are willing to take that risk here because of the huge rewards.

For Ethereum not really having a good increase despite it's merging and it's supply being burned, I guess the main reason is that there are no investors or more sellers simply as that. Nevertheless it doesn't mean that Ethereum is not a good project to invest, it's the second best behind bitcoin.
3390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How accurate is the BTC RAINBOW chart? on: October 23, 2022, 10:27:02 PM
I guess we have not a saying with this prediction model, they are "accurate until it breaks". So that what happen to let's say PlanB's STF model in 2021, till November and then it breaks apart not reaching the 6 digit mark.

So it could be the same as the bitcoin rainbow chart, I saw a similar post in the Speculation board so yeah, majority could have seen this model already and obviously we know that it could be a hit or miss.
3391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: October 23, 2022, 10:14:46 PM
When we thought that Crawford has already move out of the shadow of Top Rank because his critics felt that he is cherry picking opponents for him, now he decided to go and fight a unknown?

Nothing against Avanesyan, but Crawford, his last fight is against Porter, and it seems that this is a big let down for his fans as if instead of levelling up, he chooses to go down one level down.

Couldn't really blame Crawford, the man waited so long for at least a year as I remembered just for the undisputed fight and then somewhere in June they are having some discussion with Spence's camp but ended in separate ways because both camp didn't agreed on something. He was promised a fight, even leave Bob Arum just to make the fight possible but now he was all alone hanging.

I know there's a lot of expectation for Bud's next opponent, we thought it will be Spence but didn't happen, and then we also thought it would be Charlo in super welter but Charlo doesn't want to give Crawford a chance because he didn't go through the ranks. That is why now we have this David Avanesyan as a supposed tune-up fight to keep Bud in shape.

And I think David is the back up fight plan of Crawford if the fight fell through with Spence. Yes, I know that this opponent is not what we expect of him, but perhaps its the easiest to make instead of looking for good fighters in this division at they will have to go to another round of negotiations and there are chances that it might not happen again.

So they chooses a hard hitting fighter in David Avanesyan and so Crawford will be tested here. Nevertheless, we could see a war in the initial opening and then Crawford taking over and uses his jab to pot shop Avanesyan.
3392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 23, 2022, 09:59:02 PM
I have to say this is going to get me hated, but I find Jokic to be a bit overrated. Yes dude has good stats that's for sure, but he is a slow center that doesn't really have that much skill at scoring if you ask me, he is using what he has right now but when he gets older, his passing will be the only thing left for him to do, his scoring will drop a whole ton, and his style is not going to age that well.

I feel like Embiid is better, because he has the strength and fighting spirit that Jokic doesn't have. Smart players are valuable and Jokic is smart, but he is not going to be great for too many years, just 2 more years and we will see a steep decline for him if you ask me.
Well, and I figured I was the only one to think that of Jokic.
I confess he's a good player, but sometimes I think he's overhated, he's a center with technique, but unfortunately he can't defend very well compared to other players in his position.

He is an extremely fundamental and important player for the Nuggets, but I also agree that over time his level may decrease, I'm not saying about his technique and vision of the game, but his strength, mobility, agility, physical attributes related to the player.

Let's see if he can maintain this consistency in a few seasons in the future!


Or he can be defended very well in the low post with players like Draymond Green. Green is not a pure center, but it seems that Jokic has problems with players defended him inside. There were times in their playoff series last year wherein Green just literally took the ball from the hands of Jokic when he tries to post up Green.

But I think he is a good player, not in the in caliber of Dirk yet as he hasn't won any ring. And maybe the "hate" steam from him as a center that is not athletic enough, if we look at previous centers that really dominated the game in their primes, Kareem, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain and the last great center of them, Shaq can move very quick as compare to Jokic.

3396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: October 22, 2022, 11:50:09 PM
For those who are interested on the PPV numbers, as reported:

Quote
Nielsen Media Research revealed that their second 135-pound championship match drew an average audience of 935,000. Viewership peaked at 970,000 for a main event that ended approximately five minutes before Deontay Wilder’s first-round knockout of Robert Helenius began on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

However, it  is down as compared to their last fight:

Quote
The first bout between Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) and Kambosos (20-2, 10 KOs) drew an average audience of 1,322,000 and a peak audience of 1,351,000 four months ago.

https://www.boxingscene.com/haney-kambosos-rematch-watched-by-an-average-935000-viewers-on-espn--169844

But still though, I think the numbers are good and for sure the promoters are very happy to see this big numbers assuming that the fight happened in Australia and probably most buys are coming from the Aussies themselves.

Thanks for the figures mate. But this also means the fight is not on PPV since Nielsen Media could track it. The figures aren't bad after all considering how one-sided and I even felt it was a boring fight. And most of us already knew the results before this fight happened.

That Wilder PPV presented by PBC on FOX was crap. It was entertaining after Wilder and Plant delivered devastating KOs but they were fighting low-ranked opponents unlike Haney-Kambosos and the Shields-Marshall+Baumgardner+Mayer show. There's a good reason why PBC waited for Haney and Kambosos to finish before it started because they simply cannot compete.

But the best event of that weekend was the women's double unification fights between Shields-Marshall and Baumgardner-Mayer. I'm glad more people watched the title fights rather than the cherry-picked PPV.


Yep, not bad at all as there are a lot of fights as well in that weekend, so there is competition as well for us boxing fans as to what fights we wanted to see.

And I read that the Haney's are still giving props for the Victorian government in allowing them to travel and fight in Australia. I guess if we will see Australian champions in the future, this could be a similar trend as trend. US fighters travel to Australia and fight and maybe have the same experience as the Haney's.
3397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Usage of Blockchain technology on: October 22, 2022, 11:32:20 PM
For users who have been thinking about the real life usage of blockchain technology, here is an example. The Indian Police have launched a polygon blockchain based complaint registration portal. Indian district named Firozabad located 40km away from the world famous Taj Mahal have launched this complaint registration portal for the transparency of complaints lodged by the victims.

The project is developed to solve the issue of officials refusing to file complaint against victims and to avoid the manipulation of the complaints. With this people can easily lodge their complaints without fear and keep the complaints away from manipulation by the officials. This system will serve as a key system in the Indian Police System where corruption is a big problem from the lower level.

Source: India Police Launch Pilot Polygon-Based Complaint Registration Portal

Yeah, ever since the idea of blockchain technology being a helpful tool for any industry specially government, they have learn to adapt it. I remember as early as 2018, the government of Canada has been using blockchain for their registration or at least showing their people the incoming budget of a certain government project ans how and where the money is spent (if my memory serves me right).

And then the whole idea of election votes going into blockchain so that the data can't be tampered by anyone, or manipulate in order for a candidate to win the election. This are just some of the real life usage of blockchain and hopefully it will gain traction for government to used it.

Impressive bet and wagered amount is small compared to reward, only lucky gambler with skills can win such bets, IMO. Regardless of won amount, sharing with everyone is dangerous for obvious reasons. Not everyone is friendly and gonna love the gambler especially after big wins, enemies can make plans if gambler becomes easy target so better sit tight and enjoy winnings.

Sometimes we only not need lucky but with skills as well. So in any case this 2 factors collide, then you will have a huge winning, a improbable odds nevertheless you hit that and for sure the winner is very happy and enjoying it.

He's putting himself at risk by exposing himself he is now the target of greedy people who will target him because this kind of person is so naive in handling huge amounts of money, especially coming from gambling, he will end up with nothing just a few years if he will not protect himself from these greedy people around him.
People who are betting in a lottery or playing in casinos should practice discretion it always pays to be simple and not boast that you won a big amount.

Yes, and as what we have been discussing in the last couple of threads about winning and winning big, we shouldn't exposed ourselves to anyone. A lot of your friends and relatives will come after you and asking for free money because they know that you won big in gambling. You just have to be quiet and celebrate it with your family and kids, that's it.
3399  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the best thing to do if this happens on: October 22, 2022, 11:02:10 PM
Assuming you gamble on a mid to high-rated gambling website and you won big but they refuse to pay up, what and what are the legal way to make sure that the platform pays up your money?

I think if you’re gambling with a reputable company then you won’t have this problem. That’s what makes them a reputable company. If for some reason you do have issues, the first thing you need to do is make sure that you didn’t break any rules or do anything illegal. If everything on your end is good and your identity is on file with the casino, then I would first see if you can work the issues out with them. If not, then you can post exactly what happened here and see if the community can be of any help.

The problem is that there are gamblers who play on some mid tier casinos and obviously this is what they will get when they won big. There will be problems when they try to withdraw and will give every reason in the book not to processed or delay it. In your case if you really think that you didn't violate any ToS then you have every right to demand your winnings. As others have said, if they have a live support chat then talk to them and ask for the reasons why they are delaying your withdrawals. Just make sure to screenshot and capture every chat and logs and email.
3400  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Distortion Pattern on: October 22, 2022, 10:47:34 PM
We don't always have to keep losing or winning at gambling games. it can be like a bitcoin chart, it will not always keep losing, there will definitely be a win in gambling life like that. in brackets we must be able to manage money, how do we assume our money is not too burnt in gambling games and can instead get profits and enjoy the results. control emotions to control play

Definitely, as a gambler you should know it, you can't win all the time and it depends on how you handle the situation. So whatever you call it, distortion pattern or others, still based on our luck that day you gamble.

Emotions is one big part, because as gamblers it's really hard to control, when you are winning you don't know when to stop. When you are losing, you want to comeback and recoup and it will be either you win big or go home and take the walk of shame.
the most difficult thing to give up a lot of money being burned for free and want to come back again, that's a bad thing that will happen. sacrificing that debt only makes us lose something valuable for an unsecured money back. I've experienced something like this, common sense will be disturbed to be confused about which path to take

Yeah, that's why it is very difficult to quit when you are winning, I will admit myself that I was taken away by this kind of emotions. But I guess if we can say that gamblers maturing as some point, we should realized that it's better to quit and go home or exit when we are in a big win. We don't want to get carried away just because we have recovered already as per distortion 4 and wanting more. Just like night I have experience this, I started playing and make good money in the first 10-20 minutes. But after that my luck has change, but I have the mental fortitude to go home with still have some winnings in my wallet, this is in a land base casino by the way.
