It’s not actually wrong if you borrowed some funds for the purpose of an investment, as long as you have a stable source of income that will pay back your loan if that planned investment didn’t work as planned. However, if you are only relying solely for your investment to work so you can pay back that loan, well that’s a very bad decision. You could end up being homeless in the long run if your investment failed in the process.
My suggestion is ask yourself first if you are actually able to pay or not. If not, then delay your plan of investing. Save first so you can finance your own investment.

YTD 2-0 (100%)
My early pick
Only pick - Pacers +3.5
Great start, 100% win rate. I'm keeping an eye on this.  I liked the Pacers pick because I think that the Knicks which are on an 8 winning streak is the public pick. Pacers had a good comeback when they were down on their last game vs Celtics, this time I think they are going to win since Knicks are undermanned and of course +3.5 is another advantage for the visiting team. Injury reports for both teams. Knicks. Anunoby quest.. Randle out.... Pacers. Haliburton quest.. McConnell ques... |

Subukan ko lang, baka bumawi ang Bulls muli. Medyo wala na tong hornets, ayaw ng manalo kaya Bulls ako bukas.
Iniwasan ko ito tayaan ngayon yung Chichago Bulls, isa lagi ito sa sumisira ng mga parlay ko at hindi lang ata 2 beses nito nasira. Sobrang dami na naman ng laro mamaya pero sana walang upset game na maganap para kahit paano makabawi. Sa tingin nyu mas maganda nalang tumaya sa total score over/under kesa sa maghandicap? Nahihirapan ako magsukat pagdating sa mga score kaya minsan lang ako tumaya sa ganito. Swerte lang kabayan dahil tumama yung dalawang bets ko. Buti sa Bulls maaga ako kasi naging -6.5 na yan, although nag cover naman, pero mas maganda pa rin sa safe. Basta favorites, mas mabuti early daw mag bet. Sa Clippers naman, muntik yun, buti kinaya naman kahit mataas ang spread.
Ito nga pala yung 3 leg parlay ko at sana tumama na ito.
New Orleans Pelicans
Phoenix Suns
Orlando Magic
Congrats, panalo rin ito. Ano bang parlay yan, moneyline ba lahat or point spread? kasi kung point spread pasok pa rin lahat yan. |

I think the very main reason why people fail in trading is because they are not actually prepared to trade. Their knowledge and skills may not be sufficient enough, but because a lot are making profits in trading, they also decide to see trading as gambling and try their luck. With that, trading like gambling will never work at all.
However, another reason might be their inability to manage the risks in trading. Since they are not skillful and strategic enough, their risk tolerance is still not good and sufficient enough to successfully overcome the risks in trading.

Bitcoin can be actually used in both, as an investment tool and a currency tool. But because bitcoin has shown consistent significant price increase, majority believe that it would be a more potential investment rather than using it as a currency. Aside from that, only few shop owners accept bitcoin as a payment, so it’s hard to use bitcoin if majority are only accepting fiat as a mode of payment.
However, from my own perspective, I don’t have issues about using bitcoin as a currency, but if you don’t want to lost the present opportunities with bitcoin, use it as an investment first and keep hodling on it until it reaches an all time high, when you have had enough amount of bitcoin, it could be the perfect timing to use some of it as a currency to promote bitcoin in the market as well.

Bukas ulit, meron na namang laro pero konte lang, di gaya kanina na marami.
Medyo choosy ako now, hehe, few picks lang para mas sure, less effort sa pag study.
Kailangan natin maging choosy, talaga minsan ang hirap ng laro at unpredictable. Jazz vs Knicks, - nasa winning streak ang Knicks at sa MSG pa gagawin ang laro, -2.5 @1.81 maganda pa ang odds so dito ako. Congrats dito bro. tuloy tuloy pa rin ang win streak ng Knicks. Saka laos na talaga ang Jazz, walang panalo sa road, bawi nalang siguro ito sa homecourt nila pero paano na kaya ang confidence nila ngayon. Bulls vs Raptors - Over 225.5 ang pipiliin ko, baka maganda ang simula nitong dalawa sa first two quarters at enough na ma carry sa susunod na final 2 quarters para mag 120 points ang mananalong team @1.77 pa ang odds.
Sayang, dili ka lang sumablay, konte nalang sana. hehe. 225 lang naging score, sa over ka pa pumusta.
@Japinat ... Mukhang malas choices mo, Boston at lakers talo sa pustahan. Maganda sana naging umpisa ng Boston kaya lang di gaano maganda defense nila, kaya ayun nakahabol at nanalo pa sa plussing. Bwisit na yan, hehehe, ang ganda na nga ng silip ko eh, first 2 quarters eh maayos ang scoring. Tapos lamang ba ang Bulls. Kaya lang nung hindi maka score ang Bulls ng 2 minuto sabi ko aabutin ng talo ang taya ko. Na stack sa 100 eh, dapat ung mga oras na yun 104 na ang score pasok na ang taya ko. Kaya lang sablay lahat ng bato si DeRozan kinapos at hindi naka porma pag double team sa kanya.  Buti na lang nanalo ang Knicks, sobra sobra naman yan walang kakaba kaba, haist 2-0 na sana hehehe. Silip na lang ulit tayo baka makadali bukas. Maganda mga laro bukas kabayan. Tiyak makakapili ka ang magandang team na tatayaan. Subukan ko lang, baka bumawi ang Bulls muli. Medyo wala na tong hornets, ayaw ng manalo kaya Bulls ako bukas. -4 laban sa Hornets, travel na naman sila after home game at back to back pa. Di ako sure gaano kalayo pero kailangan nila bumawi at magaling naman sila sa road, kaya tiwala ako dito. I add ko na rin clippers -12. Kailangan manalo uli kasi natalo sila ng cavaliers. rested naman ng maayos, siguro kaya naman -12 sa game na ito, Si Kawhi na bahala. So far walang report na hindi mag lalaro kahit isa sa big 4, si zubac lang out pa rin hanggang ngayon. |

No Ginebra in the finals but still there's the San Miguel Beermen that just swept them. And we're still waiting for the result of Magnolia and Phoenix Fuel Masters. I thought that it's gonna be a sweep too but let's see on the what ifs it is going to be Fuel Masters that will be making a history of doing a straigh 2 more wins. Otherwise, if they lose on Wednesday on the MOA arena against the Magnolia then that's it, it's going to be SMB and Magnolia at the grand finals.
I can't remember the last time these two met in the Finals, but I remember that Magnolia once became a champion. Although on paper it may seemed look like SMB is the heavy favorite, but things could be different in the FInals, just like how these Magnolia vs Phoenix has turned out to be. I hope there will be no sweep in the Finals, otherwise it will be a boring series. Magnolia is still capable though against a firepower Magnolia, if SMB have JMF, Magnolia also has Laput who is a 7 footer if I'm not mistaken. Technically, they have a lot of championships as they've just been rebranded and renamed. I'm also hoping that there won't be any sweep that's going to happen because that's making every PBA fans especially the team fans exciting during the finals. It would be boring if SMB will sweep Magnolia again. So let's not believe it will happen, finals should be fun and Magnolia is a number team for a reason. Now, it will be the game 4 of the remaining series, hopefully Magnolia will be able to end this series with an impressive win so they'll not be a heavy underdog in game 1, the betting balance is not good when that will happen. And speaking of Magnolia, there's a rumor that James Yap is going to be taken away by the team again once this finals is done and they want them to see Yap end his career with them, retiring as a Magnolia since he really came from them before they rebrand from Purefoods and other franchise names.
I thought James Yap had already retired because there was this recent article I read. https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/rain-or-shine-to-retire-james-yap-s-no-18-jersey-a2244-20240130CHICAGO - After approving his request to be released from the franchise, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters are giving James Yap the dream gift.
Yap's jersey No. 18 will be retired by the team, never again to be issued to future Rain or Shine players, head coach Yeng Guiao said in a telephone interview. So is it really possible to sign again with Magnolia and then retire his number in another team? I'm a bit confuse. |

Scams have become rampant even in the previous years but most probably, since we are expecting bitcoin halving and eventually bitcoin bull run will follow, there will be more scamming incidents will most likely to occur prior to that. And I can see the only remedy to that is to trust and stick to bitcoin. Avoid altcoins most especially to those random projects that are newly risen in the market as majority of them are bound to scam us. And lastly, never trust others but only trust yourself. With the right knowledge and experience with bitcoin, you can never go wrong trusting only yourself.

Here ; https://www.bworldonline.com/editors-picks/2018/12/19/205737/magnolia-is-pba-champion-once-again/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia_HotshotsThat was a long time ago, over 5 years, maybe they'll get the championship this time but we never know since SMB is also a strong team. Sure enough, they will be the underdog, compared to the last time they won a championship. |

Cleveland Cavaliers - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) Both are hot teams, this will be exciting to watch. 8 winning streak is the longest of the Cavs until they are stopped by the Bucks.
I'm also taking the hotter team since they took out one of the best home teams in their last match and that's more than enough for me to trust them in this spot. The bad news for us is that the Cavs will have Mobley back in their lineup, and I guess that's why we're getting closer odds, even though the Clippers have been beating better teams.  Clippers win streak is over, Mitchell and the hot Cavaliers were able to defend their home court. I was not able to post my pick here but I was on the other side (Cavaliers) as I figured out that everyone was so hype with what the Clippers did to the Celtics who have a very good home record, but they probably forgot that this team Cavaliers is also one of the hottest teams now that jus recently beat the Bucks on the road. |

By the way, sinong nanood ng Lakers vs Warriors, ganda ng laro noh, parang playoffs talaga.
Ako kabayan, at panalo ako sa pustahan. Maganda naging laban kasi close game lang, kahit pa nanalo ang Warriors ng 2 points, panalo pa rin bet ko kasi +2.5 pinustahan ko. Ito yung mga bets ko. Lakers +2.5 at Warriors
Sacramento -2.5 at Dallas
Sixers +4.5 at Nuggets
Kaso talo naman sa Dallas + Sixers. Malas yung Sixers, maaga pa naman ako nag bet, hindi pala naglaro si Idol Joel Embiid...Pero at least hindi an bokya, bawi nalang next time, marami pa namang laro. Bukas meron tayong 5 games. Maganda itong games na napili ko. Raptors at Hawks and... Phoenix at Magic. ... Road teams ako pupusta. |

I can easily understand why these newbies feel some fear when posting their comments on a hero or a legendary thread since they know in theirselves that their knowledge is not sufficient enough to make a quality post just like the high ranked members. I'm also like them when I was still a newbie.
However, I realized that if I don't conquer that fear, my growth when it comes to learning experiences will be delayed so I tried to engage with these high ranked members and end up receiving some constructive criticism, and for me that's fine for me because I got to learned from their posts and how they made such corrections on my wrong concept of things.

No one can tell where the market is exactly heading but regardless of the price of bitcoin, I always think now is the best time to buy bitcoin. Some people may continue to disregard buying bitcoin because they keep on waiting on the perfect time to enter the market until they lost a lot of opportunities because of their mindset.
However, for those who are very positive about bitcoin and have high faith on its potentials, they always see to it that they never miss opportunities to invest and keep DCAing instead to accumulate maximum amount of bitcoin.

Saw the massive decline in people's opinion about Keith Thurman lol. I honestly think he'd be able to win this fight.
-snip
I don't think his loss to Pacquiao is why people(or at least on this thread) think Thurman will lose this fight, I think it most likely has something to do with the fact that he was inactive for almost 2 years and his age(I think) and believe it or not, being inactive for that long will have an impact on a boxer, but it will still depend on the boxer. also, the fact that he is fighting a title holder right after his inactivity will make people doubt his ability to win(which is very understandable). The fact is not all inactive boxers struggle on their next fight. In fact, if you look at his record, he fought Manny Pacquiao last 2019, had his next fight in 2022 and he still win beating Mario Barrios in a unanimous decision, and this guy Mario Barrios is not a leftover since he beat Yordenis Ugas the guy that beat Manny Pacquiao that Beat Thurman, so it's like they are on a circle of great boxers here. Maybe it's a factor as a disadvantage on his part, but not such a huge factor to consider on why Thurman can't beat Tim Tszyu in his championship fight. Thurman was even a pound for pound star in the past, not sure about Tim Tszyu though. |

There is no news that he will go back to MP Promotions Casimero doesn't want to let go of his brother as his trainer even if his brother is getting a lot of negative feedback about the way he manages Casimero, and Casimero is too proud and has a lot pride he wants the MP Promotions to beg him to return, but I don't think the promotions will do that, its Casimero who needs MP promotions.
We can't force him to go back to MP promotion, he is a man with his pride, he'll stand his decision. It's just that dissapointing that we aren't seen him winning impressively on his prior matches despite his opponent aren't really that strong, and the last time he fougtht, he seemed gas out, and that's why people doesn't believe anymore that he could beat Inoue with his kind of conditioning. It's not too late for him, have one fight that he can beat his opponent vio KO and no contorversy, then his ranking might shoot up. If the fight will not push this year, Casimero better forgets the Inoue fight, it's his chance to make a lot of money he's the one who blew his chance, while Inoue is doing great on his path to greatness.
There's still plenty of time, we should not loss hope as Casimero is not losing his. However, if Inoue will opt to move, then this possible fight ain't happening soon. |

Yeah, +7 with the way Clippers is playing that's something to watch out, though Celtics still going to be the favorite but for gamblers who loves taking risk, this one might be a game to watch and bet on.
Something to watch on how the Celtics will beat this team. Sorry. I just felt like it's a big trap, although Zubac is out but they were still winning without him, and for one of the hottest teams in the NBA now getting +7 on the road, that sounds odd. I'm leaning with the Celtics here. It could be best to just avoid a game that we aren't sure of. If this looks like a trap and we don't like betting on the opposite team, we should sit this one out. There are other games on the board tomorrow, and I find the following games to be interesting, I'll highlight the teams that I'm picking. Lakers +2.5 at Warriors Sacramento -2.5 at DallasSixers +4.5 at Nuggets |

It's true that while young, save so that in the future you can live more prosperously. precisely not saving but investing whether in stocks, mutual funds or in crypto. because if you only save, the value of the assets you have will be difficult to grow because bank interest rates are very small in value. and under inflation if you only save, it is almost certain that the value of your assets will decrease due to inflation.
Saving is just your first step, but eventually when your funds are big enough to make an investment, then focus on your investment. You cannot grow your money if you just let it sleep in your bank account, but if you decide to invest it in bitcoin or in any other physical investment like real estate, expect that you will see positive growth with your capital. However, do not put all your hard-earned money in a single basket but learn to diversify. That way, when one investment fails, at least you still have higher chances to profit from your other investments. But always leave sufficient funds too for your fiat needs, and leave some for your emergency funds. |

I don't see a chance Phoenix will even win one game. however, if we are betting, we have to be careful as they have been covering the handicap on the last 2 games.
We never know, they always make it close but collapse in the 4th quarter. Maybe in their do or die game this Sunday, they will get a win and Ginebra as well. Schedule was set well, it looks like they already planned it well because Ginebra is the last game which starts at 6:30 PM, and you know, the Ginebra Fanatics will likely be present to support their team in this situation. Phoenix and Ginebra wins, series will be extended, but if there's only one team that will win, i'm sure it will be Ginebra. |

No one can determine as to how long an individual can learn in crypto trading. There are some who are considered fast learners so they have an edge compared to those slow learners. But it’s not actually how fast they learn in trading, but it actually matters on how they’ll apply their learning when they are already in live trading. Having some certain skills and strategies are great, but it also depends on how you will process them when you are already in the real trading scenario.
