Dam Dalvin cook is playing tonight.  I chucked him back in my starting lineup.  Dude went out 11 days ago with a separated shoulder.  That would knock me out of a dart league for at least a year lol.  Apparently gonna play with a shoulder harness on.  Kind of a gamble but he has played before with a harness and had 31 touches so rolling the dice tonight.

I dislocated my shoulder, put it back in and went to bed at about 7pm ( I usually crashed at midnight at that time) and woke up the next morning yawned and stretched and it fell out of the socket again! I didn't need coffee to wake up that morning I'll tell you! I put it back in and went to work (Marine at the time).

Finally 3 years later of getting sick of it falling out of the socket I had a putty platt done on it. Never missed a day from it except for the surgery recovery time.

Dang you are tougher than me.  And the dude is getting wrecked by linebackers with his shoulder all loose goosy.  Maybe it's not that big of a deal at all. 

As long as the harness keeps the shoulder from moving out of the socket the arm should be fine. Tendons shrink back extremely fast. My socket was damaged and thats why it kept falling out and had to have surgery.

I had a big toes that was dislocated that the doc told me was only fractured and I told him it was dislocated I know exactly what that feels like and he ignored me and splinted it and told me to come back in a month. I walked on a dislocated toe for a month and went back and told him it was still dislocated and that time he  x-rayed it from the side instead off just the top and said "damn your right" and tried to pop it back in but by then the tendons had shrink so much he and 2 other guys could not pull it back into place. I learned the hard way not to trust the VA doctors and that tendons shrink fast in that one episode and have a screw in my big toe to this day because of that.

Either way cook 3 rushes 54 yards and j jefferson with a td my Minnesota combo doing work tonight already!

I benched Matheson. Sad

Was hoping to have him this game without cook. It would have been huge for my team.

Yeah I hear you, some chopshops are terrible.  Ripped every muscle and tendon in my right should and could move my arm.  Emergency room doctor told me it was just badly brused went to a specialist next morning and just shook his head.  Told me within a week or so I would have been SOL. 

With that being said sorry about Mattison but d cook 7 rushes over a hundred with a td.  Boom welcome back my man!

Hitting the Nuggets +2 against the Spurs here.  Kind of a little shocked at that spread to be honest almost seems trappy.  Not liking the spreads of the other games so guess I will ride with this one.  Jokic is playing right, does anyone know?
3424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin is overtaken by Ethereum in market cap? on: December 09, 2021, 11:46:41 PM
Or any other alt coin for that matter? I'm wondering if and how it would damage/tarnish Bitcoin's reputation as the Gold standard of all cryptos. I believe it may also affect how institutions view bitcoin, and it may even affect the idea of digital scarcity. No longer can we assume that bitcoin (or its usurper) will remain #1 forever, so how can you imagine it as a safe long term store of value or preserver of wealth? Is the idea of true digital scarcity threatened if bitcoin loses it's #1 rank?

For example, I imagine it would be like silver flipping gold's market cap, (which is practically unthinkable)  however, this event would forever alter how gold is perceived, especially by new potential investors.

What if silver goes up or loses value do people still believe in precious metals, yep.  Bitcoin might take a lump or two and something might overtake it in mcap shortly but in the long run most of the garbage in the "top 50" will be found to be unnecessary let along things like meme coins lol

Still, I can't believe that the Rockets defeated the Nets by 10 points. I mean yes Durant didn't play at that game and yes we can say that Harden played on that game as well but we already saw how Harden is playing right now. He is kinda struggling for me and his numbers are obviously lower than his stats years ago. He really is affected by the changing rules that he is having a hard time to it. He had 25 points and almost a triple double but see his FG and 3PT percentages. Both at 25% and if you will ask other players, this is unacceptable and consider a bad night still.

Not only Harden who has been struggling lately, there were a couple superstars more who also been struggling since the start of the season.
AD has not been doing well for the Lakers, his shooting average is in a worse figure throughout his career.
Jason Tatum was also struggling early this season as he also averaged 39% fgm. at some point.
And the worse case is for Kemba Walker who has been out of the rotation.
In James Harden's case, I can also say that he's really been heavily affected by the new rules, because that's what he usually do.

Yeah looks like kemba's time with the Knicks is going to end as quick as it started lol.  Something more has to be going on with him or maybe thibs just likes the younger guys and want to open a rotation spot.  Either way 2 years for 20 mil, they need to figure a way to get kemba minutes in which he can positively contribute.

His struggle continues and I'm not happy after seeing this article as we might see another NBA player with uncertain future in the NBA.

Knicks’ Kemba Walker sells Massachusetts mansion amid career struggle

Quote
Only two years after purchasing a one-and-a-half acre lot to build a sprawling 9,500-square-foot home, former Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker has sold his Massachusetts estate in an off-market deal.

The move comes after Walker, who grew up in the Bronx, joined the New York Knicks in August. But his recent benching on the team, and removal from the Knicks rotation in favor of Alec Burks, put his future with the NBA in question.

It seemed odd that Charlotte was willing to let him walk a few years ago.  I guess we can see now that they saw the decline happening and chose to stay ahead of it by moving on to a younger and larger PG.  It's shocking how fast Kemba went from a killer to nobody wanting him.  He's got to be going through some things right now.  It's clear he's going to be traded at the first opportunity so selling his mansion now before the market crashes (high end real estate market is already seeing closings down 20% from asking price) is probably a wise move for a guy quickly approaching retirement.  Best of luck to Kemba whatever happens.  He was an absolute monster in college.

Yeah that uConn team was sick, nobody could stop him.  Was hoping a return back to msg would reliant it for him.  Season is young and thibs is tactical so there could be another thing at play.  Maybe pumping up the value on another guard.  Kba didn't play bad from the jump it was the last couple games he played where he struggled. Was always a fan hopefully he puts it together.

Taxes make a huge impact on betting earnings in certain countries while other are relatively free of that burden. Many central European countries such as Germany, France, Luxembourg, Denmark, etc... charge directly to the casinos and other charge to the earnings. For example Denmark will get nearly 70% of the Casino earnings.

https://www.taxback.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-gambling-tax-rates-around-the-world

As you can read, Germany is the most astringent jurisdiction, with 90% of casino earning being paid as tax! The message cannot be more clear: if you want money, go work! You could argue that Italy - tax free -  is also sending a message: go gamble, there is not much more to do  Grin On-line is also different per country and some are tax-free if it is online and other make no difference.

I researched this because I hear that a professional poker player from Spain was about to move to Andorra, which is something that may people do when they earn big.

It's a fine linebut yeah taxes kill the worth of gbling a lot.  Tax too much and people will just skirt the system, there best bet is to keep taxes low on gambling if they want to keep everything legit.

3428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH OR BSC on: December 09, 2021, 08:32:09 PM
One of the reasons why binance savvy chain gets to be this enormous right presently is since ethereum gas expense is exceptionally tall and this constrain a few ventures to switch to BSC but what do you think will happen once ethereum gas expense goes lower in close few months? Will BSC confronted same destiny as binance DEX? Or BSC will stay the way better choice over ethereum?

It's a good question but if eth stays the course there is no way to sustain token prices on their chain with those gas fees.  In a bull market sure no one cares when they are making money hand over fist but in a bear market when those fees will eat you up, it will drop really quick.
3429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slot Machine Strategy? on: December 09, 2021, 08:30:30 PM
One of my best friends and I would travel to the local casino some years back from time to time.  Wasn't a very fun casino but it was about as good as we could get for those times as gambling was very restricted back then.  He was a big fan of playing slots and always seemed to have some sort of strategy.  He would look for players who were sitting at a machine for a long period of time and then play them.  There were a couple other things he did that he called "strategy" but I can't remember what they were.

My question for you guys, is there any strategy you know of for slot machines ? I think this more so applies to in person casinos but maybe online as well.

Does waiting to get on a machine that gets heavily played a legit strategy?  Does it make more sense to play different types of machines or play one machines for a long period of time? Etc etc..

Chi everyone who plays slot has a strategy but the strategy is as good as one going into the gas station and buying scratch off tickets.  I've had friends who had strategies that worked sometimes and a lot of other times it didn't.  My conclusion "a broken clock is right twice a day".  Complete chance, and terrible odds at that.  It's the reason why casinos are filled with slot machines, those are their money makers for the casino.

The economic pains of Covid-19 experienced in 2020 are experienced in many countries. Many countries are going through hard times economically and will. In these periods, salvation will of course be profitable investment planning. When I look at the crypto market for this period, the general comments are in the direction of BNB investment advice.

Do you think it makes sense to invest in BNB or another cryptocurrency?

What else can you suggest in line with the analyzes made on the subject?

Don't analyze and just get into the market.  Sure peoe were mad who bought the height of the 2013 run when bitcoin went down. To $200 they could have bought 5x the amount they did.  But are they mad now that they got in on that 2013 price?  Point is just get into the market dollar cost average up or down depending how the market goes and watch your value increase over time.  Just don't buy complete garbage coins.
3432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is burning coins good on: December 09, 2021, 06:58:34 PM
Recently, many projects have announced the burning of coins, but not everyone understands what this means.

This is a process by which cryptocurrency miners or developers get rid of a certain amount of tokens by sending them to addresses that are not accessible to anyone. The burning of coins is being implemented not because of the low viability of the project, but rather because of the desire of the creators of cryptocurrencies for great prospects.

Thus, the developers are trying to reduce the total number of available coins, while the created shortage affects the growth of their value.

The burning of coins can talk about the upcoming expansion of the project and a possible increase in its value. For example, after the recent announcement of a collaboration between Polygon and Newscrypto, the latter announced that they decided to burn $ 10M worth of NWC tokens this year. Consequently, in the near future, we can see a significant growth of NWC price on this news. What do you think about burning coins? Does this really affect the market value of the coins?

It's a scheme.  They are implying your coins are worth more automatically but it's not true it still relys on demand which they can generate.  People think burn half the coins and it will be worth double.  But if you burn half the coins in something that has little to no value anyway does it really mean anything?  The worst are the projects that start by just burning coins. Lol.  Rediculous.

Honestly I think the Patriots are one of the best teams in football right now (well obviously they are the #1 seed right now) but their defense is unreal.  I laid a bet on Tampa when they played the Pats, and that d help Tom in check dam well knowing Brady wanted to go in there and light it up.  This might be the best d Pats have ever had.  No way they lose  with Brady, question is can they win with mac.

I agree if Lillard isn't playing tonight I like the Clippers here.  I also like the magic at +16 against golden state.  Those large spreads are hard to cover as the end of the game Orlando should snipe some garbage minute points if they were down. 20 or so.  Taking the bulls -3.5 against the Nuggets too.

2-1 last night not bad.  Magic got trampled lol.  Tonight I have one game...the Knicks-2.5

Kind of a Homer pick but the Knicks actually play better on the road and they need to win this one.  They are on a bad slide and the Spurs are a team they match up decently again.  Good luck to everyone tonight!
[/quote]

Hit the Knicks Tues night against the Spurs but glad I layer off last night, another stinker to a middle of the road team.  Knicks are gonna need to make some moves to improve this roster or someone is going to have to step up.  Might start laying against them at this point

Houston Rockets today have just earned their 6 straight wins and looks like they finally found some rhythm that lead them to dominate every game from the worst team in the current season, now they are climbing to the playoff tree by defeating every opponent that crosses their way. Rockets is finally lifting off!



Excellent observation @yazher !
The Houston Rockets are having chemistry among the players and it seems like things are flowing naturally!

I believe the team needs to be consistent to get a playoff spot!

My question is... do you guys believe there are chances for the Rockets to participate in the playoffs this season?

Not a chance.  Of the 6 games only 2 were against playoff teams.  4 of those wins came against okc twice, Orlando and Pelicans.  Good on them but once they start playing against teams like jazz, Suns, Nuggets, Warriors, etc they will go on long winless streaks.  A good run for them but a couple losses and they are quickly 7-21.  There next couple games are against the Nets, Bucks, Hawks etc..

They missed their first FG attempt from extra point range after getting goaline stopped.

You're right, I just edited my post a few seconds ago. Still a good strategy with that two-point play.

Yeah it was pretty cool, I was a little surprised at the time but thats why bill is a great coach I guess.

I think percentage wise he knew he had a better chance to score on the ground then to kick it.  Probably was playing any extra point like that knowing if he hit 1 out of 2 basically would equal hitting both extra points.  That wind was serious.  Even the field goals they hit them things were kick it and cross fingers no big gust came through that second.  Bill is old school so he probably loved that win more than any other one so far this year.

Hey guys im new to the forum.  Is there anything that is worth knowing about this community . I started getting into bitcoin last year around US election time , and have been sucked into the "btcrabbit hole " and can't seem to get out . lol . I have started collecting physical bitcoins places , but was looking to get a little more serious , so I made an account here. hope to do some deals with y'all in the future .

Cheers ,

As others have said use escrow.  Don't fall for the scammers who use names like other people.  If someone wants to take a deal offline to telegram, etc bail 99.99999% chance they will try to scam you.  And don't impulse buy something, search on this site most likely there are past sales here where you can get a good Guage on market price/value.  Good luck and welcome to the thunderdome.  Oh and whatever happens if someone tries to get you to buy 50 tickets in a super raffle STEER CLEAR!

Was a big win for the Bulls especially that now Demar DeRozan is out due to covid-protocols ( not sure if they have said whether or not he for sure has covid, but it looks like we will be without him for some time).  Zach Lavine stepped up in a big way, once again, and Ball and Vuc added plenty as well.  LOVE seeing University of IL stud Ayo play as well as he has with this team and getting the start and the most minutes was just awesome!

Yeah that was a big win for sure.  Shows how good jokic really is though, imagine a healthy Jamal and mjp right now.  Sucked watching Jamal go down he was o e of my favorite younger players.  Hopefully he can come back somewhat like he was aging when he got injured.  Bulls are a top 3 east team and should be the whe year.
3439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $2 million worth of SHIBA INU bought on: December 07, 2021, 08:16:52 PM
As per the latest update an Ethereum whale has purchased SHIB worth over $2 million, is that why we have seen recovery in the price over last 24 hours? I am wondering whether this will push more users to buy SHIB as there are two reasons why users will buy SHIB, one just because it's recovering and second is the assumption that whenever whales invest into any crypto it would pump hard. Are we being bull trapped again ?

Of course it is.  Following other people buying crap tokens is never a good idea.  And volume is so large right now on that token that $2mil doesn't budge the price.  I'd be weary thinking someone bought 2mil of it anyway, it can be gamed to make it look like that.

I'm so confused I will just set my lineup and see what happens.  *That feeling when Towely knows more what's going on then me*

On a football note last night's game was awesome to watch, Pats ran it down their throats with the Bills knowing it and still couldn't stop it, fun times.  Mac Jones 2-3 19 yards and they won lol.
