Easy money last night think it's gonna be easy money tonight.  Coming out of the break with a loss and a second game of a back to back against a young team.  Spurs should give them enough trouble to keep it to single digits or even come away with a win.  The books seem to always over estimate teams like Lakers, cowboys, yankees.  Easy betting targets.

That stat line for Jokic was crazy tonight. He ended with 21 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists, and shot 100% from the field. Thats got to be one of the best stat lines of the year, possibly up there with an all time efficient game. That dude is going to carry Denver to another title if the rest of the NBA isn’t careful.

I feel like he gets those all the time.  Honestly it is crazy and it looks like he is playing so slow put there.  It's like the game just operates at a different speed for him.  The 100% from the field on top of the triple double is the icing.  Dude is just different and hate when I hear people not respect the guys game.  It's insane.

Another memecoin, boring.  Seriously not to knock you but memecoins being built now are just riding the hype wave of memes from 2020/21.  Why not just make it a viable project why does it have to be a meme.  It's like naming your coin after another popular coin.  Sorry but red flag until proven otherwise.

I stopped after reading cryptocurrecy of the year and looking at the coins provided.  This is some sort of joke right?  Who put this together?  Any poll without bitcoin in it is rediculous at this point.  Unless it's altcoin of the year than this award thing is crud.  If it's voted on its really just a shill vote anyway.  People will just shill their bags no matter if it's right or wrong.  I'd say this whole thing is pointless.

I just watched part of the 2024 all-star mini-movie that NBA released. I could not finish the whole video but I can tell that they really know how to present it in a way that someone who never watched the whole thing would think it's actually that good hehe. Shameless.

I think the poll in the OP needs to be updated to something like which teams will qualify for the playoffs first.

Agree poll is dated and maybe at this point start looking at finals champ.  Backend of the regular season incoming.  Big night out of the gate for the Knicks.  They lost 4 straight going into the break with toms of injuries.  They need to beat the sixers tonight and not start sliding into the 5/6/7 slots in the conference.

Celtics ML / K. Porzingis 2+ 3pts @1.97

The first couple of games right after the All-Star weekend are often tricky. I've seen anomalies and inconsistencies in player/team performance after extended breaks before. Hopefully, this will not affect the Celtics and Porzingis.

KP has covered 2+ 3pts in 5/L5 and 9/L10. I wouldn't say volume is there since he's only averaging around 5 3pt attempts per game /L10, but his 3pt% is rather high at around 48%. He does land a favorable matchup in Vucevic, a below-average defender, and the Bulls as a team rank near the bottom of the league in defending catch-and-shoot threes.

Agreed I'm laying off of any betting except maybe betting against the Lakers.  Bron nursing a bum ankle and I know they don't want that to linger so he might get some bench time here.  Other than that enjoying the next couple of days without laying down on them until the break dust settles.

I mean that should be rule number one.  Gambling should always be done with a clear head.  I'm not sure I've ever heard of a good news story of someone who consistently does drugs and then gambles while on them lol.  Not saying a night at the casino after a couple drinks playing some low stakes gambling should be banned but its difficult to control if you have multiple addictions feeding off each other.

These predictions have e been made for years for bitcoin too.  I wouldn't take too much stock in them.  Either way it will be a sell the event type thing if and when they do announce that.  People are buying that rumor and will dump this like hot garbage once they move out on that. 
349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore on: February 21, 2024, 11:47:41 PM
Some known popular altcoins are eth bnb ada xrp matic etc and so many are available in crypto market where eth bnb is common investment. But i saw some people, buy matic but don't want to go for ada! Some buy xrp but not Interested with solana!

What is the name of that Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore?? Example: i Won't buy TRON(trx) anymore cause it makes me disappointed several time with its stable price since 2017

Eth or any token on the eth network.  Gas fees get to be too high which is completely opposite of what crypto was built for.  Shoukd be easy enough to send transactions without the cost in a bull market.  Sometimes you would lose more money in gas then what you would make off selling a token.  Seems pointless and other projects will figure it out quicker than eth will.

I agree with everyone and I am missing those good old ASG games as well, but the game is not the same, so the result will not be the same either. You can keep saying that NBA had better defense as much as you want, but the reality is that it didn't, it didn't had that much of a great defense, it had some defensive rules that allowed harder defense to be made, but that also resulted with a lot more injuries as well. These days, defense is still being done, I guarantee you that any defensive player of the year in the past 10 years, could be taken on the year they won it, and put in the 90's and would be one of the best there too. We are just seeing entertainment, nothing more. If you want "real" games that is played tough, you can wait until the finals, that should be fine.

It's not even close.  You can't even hand check now.  The one rule I do like that they put in was sliding underneath a jump shooter after he shoots.  Countless ankles have gotten mangled from that dirty play.  But in general I think most of these tricky tack fouls have changed the game too much.  Last big man I liked to watch was shaq.  Dude straight mangled people in the paint lol.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 21, 2024, 11:42:59 PM
No never do I believe someone else.  I need to look for myself and feel good about a bet.  Those people most of them don't have skin in the game themselves.  They make money off providing tips.  It's like selling shovels during the gold rush.  They profit no matter what.  Steer clear and do your own due diligence.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: February 21, 2024, 11:40:49 PM
This story is all too common.  Being addicted to anything sucks but being addicted to gambling can crush your life.  Lots of people have lost theor homes and ultimately families because you screwd everything up for them as well.  Gambling doesn't only affect a single person when you have a family that depends on you.  Sucks to hear.
353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why we need to buy meme coin? on: February 19, 2024, 10:39:02 PM
Because
Sleep dreams that the tendency to suddenly become rich Cry

This is not really normal because meme coin is more dangerous in this crypto market. They always collect money from investors by showing amazing attractive offers. In reality their project does not last long in the market because most of the team members of meme coin are new generation and they have less experience. They are coming to the market only to grab the investor capital completely.

Exactly.  Most people actually realize it but because of theor greed they still end up buying coins of those rediculous projects.  Knowing is half the battle, acting upon that is another level.  Memes were a fad in 2020/21 I don't think they are gonna have another run like that.  There is too many coins out there to spread the money around.
354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where did u put your Money ? on: February 19, 2024, 10:28:40 PM
It's a terrible idea to look at only coins with a specific unit price based in fiat.  I can create a coin with a trillion coin supply or I can make one with a thousand coin supply.  If they both have the same market cap you are only going to look at the first one.  Total Supply shouldn't sway you in terms of what you look for in projects.  You will miss out on some profitable ones that way.

Agreed for the most part the answers have been had but sometimes the thread migrates into a different topic that's where I think it should be closed if it goes off the rails.  Generally speaking it's tough to moderate just because an answer was made on a specific thread who's idea is it that it's been satisfied other than the OP.  Message the OP of a specific thread to close it if you think it should be and they just vanished.

Rare double double though for Dame, winning the 3 point competition and then the MVP, we've seen for the first time 200 points were surpassed.

And I read that there is a teas for next year 3 point, it could be the splash brothers, Steph Curry + Klay Thompson, vs Sabrina Ionescu + Caitlin Clark. This 3 point shoot up is the saving grace for this year's All Star, everyone wanted to watch how Steph will do against Sabrina, and Steph shows who is the greatest shooter in the planet right now, although Dame as well could be in the discussion.

The all star game was a dud.  Dame earned his points with so.e half court shots but for the most part it was layups and dunks with no one around.  It's turned into a glorified layup line.  KAT had 50 points and ypu would barely know that because he was driving the lane every time down 30.  Didn't pass etc.  Game turned into a joke.  They need to do so.ething lime put home court advantage in the finals to the winning side like baseball does.

Luck is not something that comes all the time and that's what makes it special when it comes to you while you are gambling, some people cheat when they gamble and they said is luck which are all lies but inside them they already know that it want luck but cheating.
However I was lucky to win a bet with my last stake some days ago and I am happy for that, that's why I have to bring it here let's discuss about it, whether you have also win some amount of money with your last stake. I went to a betting shop around my locality then I bet with $10 and lose all of them so I was holding  up to $1 separately for transporting my self back to my residence, but funny how I staked with my transport money and won.
Although, I had more money on  my account that I can use for transporting my self back to my house if incase I lost the physical cash, that was why I wasn't afraid to stake with it.

Dam I thought you meant that you spent your last dollar on gambling your ride home away.  Good on you but I always set aside any money needed for real life.  Once you start digging into that pot of money is when you start getting yourself in trouble.  If you don't mind me asking how much did you win with that $1 that saved your day?
358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 18, 2024, 10:24:46 PM
3-point contest was fun and very challenging as all players scored 20+ in first round. Dame Time ended it the way it suited him.
Dunk contest was mid. It was weird that Jaylen Brown made it to the finals. Toppin had better dunks. McClung had no competition again, so he didn't dunk very differently than last year. The NBA management has to do something about the jury. Grin

The judges though, it seems that they want Jaylen to be in the finals with McClung. But it was a boring dunk contest and could be one of the worst we have seen in years. As I have predicted, Curry will will over Sabrina in their own 3 point shoot-out.

Dame time, he needs to get that last ball to win and so he did. But obviously, fans are disappointed on the dunk contest. They should really get players that can put highlight reel during All Streak Break. They have to bring McClung just to hype it and so it's those NBA players lost to a G-leaguer.

@ FanEagle - maybe you are referring to Jordan Kilganon.

I just think nba players are generally uninterested in the dunk contest or at least enter.  Like I said all these dunks are just being re packaged and super stars don't want to look bad on TV.  3 point contest is always going to be interesting because it's not about creativity but rather who can drop the most in.  Looking forward to tonight's game.  Just hope it nails the under 364.

You might as well ask people to shill theor bags here.  Trying to figure out what altcoin will reverse course over multiple markets is dam near impossible.  Not saying you can't luck into it but rationally trying to figure out is almost useless.  Alts are fads and shoukd be treated as such each cycle.

It was a fun 3 point shootout indeed.
I didn't expect the battle will be that close as they ended up playing a tiebreaker before the Finals proceeded. I was really rooting for Tyrese Haliburton to win that match but KAT found his rhythm and shot one hell of a money rack.  Cheesy

Steph Curry versus Sabrina Ionescu was also fun but it seems like Sab cannot find her rhythm and since the WNBA is not yet commencing, it is understandable. Curry had his practice every day while Sab doesn't, but it's all for charity so it's all good.

The dunk contest was so easy to predict and that is why Mac McClung was the super favorite.

Well, he did defend his title today and I wish the NBA could find someone who could compete with him better. So it could be more fun like the Zach LaVine versus Aaron Gordon era. I mean, there are a lot of high flyers in the league now and even if they don't dunk much, the NBA should consider putting them in the list to battle against the 2 time defending champion.

Agree on all fronts.  The 3 point contest was fun to watch even the steph ionesco matchup.  The dunk contest has gotten meh to me.  At a certain point all the dunks have been dome and they are just repackaging them.  Back in the 80s with Dominique and the 90s with Vince there was new stuff no one was ever doing being laid down.  If McClung is winning these things now you know it's watered down.
