Definitely it should be a hobby, otherwise if you are too serious with lottery, you'll be bankrupt easily. Just imagine the bettors chance of winning, not even close to 1% and you are spending a lot of money when you bet, that's a suicide to be frank. This kind of lottery is usually for charity, the word itself says you are only donating money, means you'll likely to lose, 99%.  I personally know a lot of people who became bankrupt as a result of this hobby. And in one case I know of an individual who committed suicide after getting ruined as a result of lottery ticket purchases. And the chances of winning are no way near 1%. The best chance I know is for the Dubai Duty Free's Millennium Millionaire Scheme in which there is a limit of 5,000 tickets. So the probability of winning is 0.02%. For most of the other lotteries, the probability is like 1 in 10 million or less than that. I've heard from some local news that the chance of winning a lottery is 1 out of 28,989,675. That's the number of combination from 1-55 numbers, it's not an easy or same with the post above you, since it's for charity you are just giving away your money as the chance is really slim, though this girl or the couple gotlucky after 20 years of keeping the same number, now they are enjoying living a luxurious life. |

Are you sure about placing bets on these teams? Your chosen teams are no doubt the dominant ones but the odds aren't worth picking. Utah Jazz @ 1.25 Philadelphia @ 1.18 Goodluck then as we have our own way of choosing our bets.  That's good enough if he's sure about his pick, not bad for parlays though there's still risk. NBA always have surprises underdogs sometimes wins against the heavy favorite, though if it's a value bet then its an easy way rinsing money out from this sports betting, got to have a much deeper understanding with the team to have a higher chance of success using this kind of strategy. |

Do you have the website where you get the summary of these stats? It will be helpful if you can share the link here. I'm interested in checking each game's stats but can't find it on the web, I only see the whole stats of players for the whole season. I want to check the per game. Thanks!
A simple summary of game stats (boxscore) can be seen at most of the sites posting the results after a game. But if you want a much detailed and deeper one, I always follow these sites even before the creation of this thread.  https://www.basketball-reference.com (main)https://basketball.realgm.comhttps://www.landofbasketball.com (head to head)lamelo now has the upper hand to become ROY but if he can't play consistently, he will be at the 2 or 3 spots, Charlotte is making a good run, this year young core and veterans are clicking, they might make it to the playoffs, another gem for charlotte I hope they can keep him, and put good players around him, his passing is one of his best weapons, and with Hayward getting back to old self this is the year for the charlotte, but surely they can't make it to the finals. I see that too, Hayward is really creating for himself. He's now back on his feet. Hopefully he won't get another serious injury to continue this chased of winning and pushing this young team to the playoffs, they are building good checmitry along together, with Ball bringing the ball and passing so great, this team might get some attentions, I agree , the management should add more good role players to support Hayward and Ball. |

Skipping props today as i had no time to do my research, and i don't want force bets anymore. I only have a 3-team parlay with Heat, Rockets and Suns @2.36 Can't see any of the teams losing, Heat are finally ready to go with a healthy roster playing against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Rockets beat OKC two days ago, even without Wall in the lineup today it's hard to see anything but them winning. As for Phoenix, Booker is back, Pels are just a bad team at this point, regardless of their recent win over Bucks, give me Suns all day! Following this with small bet, I see Heat is now in good shape though Beal is killing them in this first quarter. Leaning with the solid 5 of Heat as they are now complete and healthy, Bam, Butler, Herro, Dragic and Robinson. They just need to work out with their defense not to allow Beal to keep attacking and creating his points fro different side of the court, He's really hot. |

I don't know if Elon Musk really started this increase. The price is not at $33K but it reached up to $36K which I thought would straight fall under the $20K price mark. Maybe this is just an increase since we all know how the market move right now but one of the reasons right now is the tweet or hashtag of Elon Musk talked in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5313053It's not a coincident he really has a part of the pump because it happens hours after his tweet and Elon is not an ordinary investor, he happens to be the richest man now, and what he says will have a big impact on the business industry, I hope we'll have another round of tweet for another round of pump. Yeah, you are right. I think he really contributed at that pump. Because of that hashtag, it pumped. I don't even know how that invited more people to invest since just one hashtag made the price pump. I guess we can say that he is really influential and been followed by a lot of people that might be interested in some of his investment ventures the same with investors in his company. Interest to ride with his fame and we witness the after effect. Elon Musk just use the hashtag and the price went up instantly, the correction that most of the investors fear to lose money just bounce back and provide another jump, those who manage to hold and buy more while experiencing the downfall are really gaining decent amount of money right now. |

Brooklyn Nets played a home game against LA Clippers last night. Nets managed to beat Clippers 124-120 in this competitive game. Nets have a 6-win streak in their home games now. On Nets side, Irving got 39 points, 5 rebounds. KD got 28 points, 9 rebounds. Harden made another triple-double (23 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists). On Clippers side, Kawhi got 33 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists. P. George 26 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists. N. Batum got 21 points, 6 rebounds.
The battle of superstars. Both sides performed so well. It's just the last few seconds that changed the tempo of the game, Nets create space and snatched the game away from Clippers It's really a close encounter Irving once again makes it move to the basket and forcely gives the lift winning this game for the Nets. Home game win defending it for the fans. |

Agree, bitcoin dominance is still to high to entry altseason. We need the bitcoin price to be sideways and lower dominance point to entry altseason.
Yes, but some Altcoins will also not increase when bitcoin moves sideways in the market, even some Altcoins often follow the trend that occurs in Bitcoin in terms of pump and dump. yes that often happens like that. altcoins that follow the trend of the bitcoin market movement. although some make their own pumps I think it only happens in a few projects that are currently undergoing major updates. a situation like this would actually be very suitable to attract a bigger market for altcoins with a big update. market confidence is increasing and I think gaining the confidence of new investors and traders will not be difficult for a good altcoin project. Project that have real usages or project that being use for pump and dump. There are incidents that a certain coin continously rising high even bitcoin is in the correction process, some, just like what you say are experiencing major updates and trying to attract more investors, while other are just been played or manipulated by fat whales who wanted to earn from the project. |

While anything can happen in the cryptocurrency market, at this point, Bitcoin's price drop to $5k is definitely impossible. However, I do not exclude such a scenario in a few years, because technology is moving forward and eventually someone can come up with something better - I think that only in such a situation so hard price drop will be possible.
if another system like this will shows up and investors hype it up. The chance that traders interest might be diverted, knowing the nature of this business, the quicker the value to rise high also same thing that may happened when downfall comes up, no wonder if trend brings the value down to this level. There's no certainty as this venue of investment still volatile. |

I have never heard of this opponent and it is honestly not an interesting fight when compared to Berchelt vs. Valdez on the same night. Broner is not the fighter he once was and his value as an entertainer is diminished by his recent poor performances. I don't see a 31 year old fighter with limited experience and short notice beating him but I will definitely be rooting for the upset.
Actually all the names that have bee thrown on Broner was a no name fighter, sure they could pull an upset, but I highly doubt it. All cherry pick fight for him and onwards, as others have speculated, they just want Broner an easy fight and earn some money, get busy fights. People are going to watch though, just to see Broner loss to an unknown fighter, hehehe. You guess it right, what I want to see here is on how Santiago will beat Broner's ass. Broner seems already out of his prime, but this fight of him should be a win for him if he still like to get big fights, if he can't beat a non caliber boxer, then he has no right to fight popular boxers, no one would promote him to that, unless like what you said, fans will come to see how Broner will loss. It's all about money, promoters knows how to value fights. They are allowing Browner to regain his popularity he'll bringing money still so giving him a chance to get another good look to go for the blow and fight another big name after winning, unless they are working behind and making another new name to this sport. |

Clippers vs Nets. Anybody betting on this game?
Clippers are 9-10 on their last 10 games, while Nets are 7-10 with some disappointing loses.
I think Nets are not yet ready to face the Clippers, so Clippers could dominate them since they have been winning by a double digit points in average.
I hope you are right on this one mate because i also think the same. Did bet for the Clippers as i think Net's chemistry is not yet solid and Clippers is a defensive team which could limit the point production on two of the Net's big 3. Same here... I hope this is not a trap though. PG and Leonard is playing all that matters. And I'm happy for Durant as he will play against his favorite player. Kevin Durant Says Paul George is his Favorite Player in the NBA (this was 4 years ago but PG is still at its best now)Nets escape this game winning by 4 and the trio again provide for the team. Kyrie lead the way while KD and Harden helps him up to lift the team to win over the monstering Clips. Homecourt chemistry might affect their mentality to win in front of their home crowd, this will uplift the level of their capabilities. Gratz to everyone who back them up winning this game. |

In 2021 I think everybody knows about the crypto market, but when you talk about crypto investment in 2021 it's very difficult to choose which coin do you invest in. Personally, I want to go with ETH, because ETH is a very potential and powerful coin, ETH has a very excellent idea for the future if you see the crypto market ETH leading 2nd position in crypto coins. I am talking about ETH because Etheteum already reaches $1400+ maybe next 5 years it will cross nearly to BTC.
No wonder this coin still residing at the second spot overall. Those who invest back then and still holding until now are really gaining from this coin, like what you have said, it's tough to pick a good coin but if you are aiming for long term and strong project, ETH still have a huge potential to gain more value in the next few years, as there are updates and development for more useful usages. |

its not always a happy ending when you gamble but you can always stop when you are winning. the strategies we use today sometimes work, mostly in the beginning and then after some time you experience the losing streak combined with your emotions, and then pfftt. its true what they say the favour is always on the house but hey cheer up you are entertained at some point.
most of the time is martingale that works for me and after few bets experience the losing streak again. i have thought of discipline that to stop myself when i'm wining but yeah sure.
The point that you've been entertained value your stay. Though you lose your money as long as you are using spare and you are only aiming to enjoy, there's nothing to worry but unlike with experienced gamblers who are good in managing their emotions, they've got some edge since they are good in stopping in any certain point of time according to how they've set it up. |

They are definitely from the site as same names from morning till night and they are playing pennies. I did a small deposit to test not going to add anything anymore for sure and they never credited the deposit so it would crazy from me and i am not going to feed this scammers.
How about your deposit money? I read in the reply that the site is close now. I wonder how will about the other member's money if that is happening. It is a small lesson that we do not have to play gambling on an unknown site that does not have a reputation. We can get the recommended gambling site with reputations from here, so we do not have to get scams or anything else. If you do concern with your money, better to cplay to those reputable gambling sites. It's far better to use those established business than to explore with new sites that your money is at risk. Lesson learned from this participation, though it's just a small amount base from the post above just to try but it's still money that benen loss after depositing. |

I hope that he recovers fastly. Is he going to play tomorrow against the Clippers? This is hell of a match and we'll see a match between two good teams. Hard to decide where I'll be if Nets is complete tomorrow. Hopefully he's okay now, as per news update he's expecting to play tomorrow. It's a great game since they'll be facing another great team, heavy favorite Clippers will test this new trio. Let see if how things will work after harden's injury, he's doing great after the transfer to Nets, chemistry is now starting to builds up as this trio is really working to carry one another. |

Hi Guys!
I bought ripple at $2.50 and i am at very high losses. I wanted to know if and when it will reach $3, $4 and if my stars shine $5 ? Please help. I am being as much patient i can but i am honestly dying from the inside looking at the prices. This is the 3rd year since OP opened this thread. If he didn't sell at loss and wait he lost too many opportunities meanwhile he's still in loss. Ripple may reach $5 someday but it's not looking possible in short time frame. He bought at the peak and it's still far from recovering . But who knows, those who bought Bitcoin @ $20K also feel the same but look now, there's always opportunities inside crypto, XRP still moving even SEC issues is there, now the rallies start to pumped and it's getting near to $1 far from reaching what OP's intent but maybe after several year when all those adoption take place. |

Just wondering what your strategy for taking profits on alts?
Do you sell when your alts double against in USD or BTC? or what % to make sure ur safe from dumps?
When you sell do you buy more BTC or Rotate into another Altcoin?
I take my altcoins bags profit in batches because that is the best way i trade. You should trade your altcoins against the most preferred pair that want; it could be a btc pair or a usdt pair. When i take profit; i convert my profits to usdt and re invest the capital into another coin. Makes it easy that way It gives you the opportunity to grow your assets. Bagging your profits depends from how you fully understand the market, as long as you are willing to take the risk and you study how the market will work for you, bagging your profits is like harvestin the fruits of your labor, the more you plant the more furits that you'll going to gain back. |

yes since more than 90% are scams, i think we should check each project we invest in. i mostly prefer to investigate dex-es with credible business model and interesting options for liquidity providers
I think not all cryptocurrencies are fraudulent, because until now there are still some projects, more than 10% of the projects are still very useful for many people and make transactions easier, although like that there is still a possibility of cryptocurrency scam so stay alert because it is part of risks when trading cryptocurrency. Being furious in all aspect is very important to avoid beig victimized by those scammers. Lots of projects around the market are potential to scam out, you need to be selective before placing your money if you intent to invest with this industry, being alert and always updated will guard you in case you are part of the project that may runaway in the long run. |

One of my friends has been streaming games 2018 and has not been successful since. He said it took him around a year to get to 100 subscribers and has a long time trying to make views on youtube. He stopped making videos around early 2019 and tried facebook videos mid-last year. So far he has 69 subscribers to his facebook channel and he acknowledges that gaming and streaming could be a challenge if he wants to do it as a money making option. He now just play games and care less if people watch it or not.
It's needed to have a lots of patience if your intention is to build a good channel. Not easy when you are just starting as you need to not just be good at the game but you need to offer something new or adding spice with your channel for people to follow you and support you, from that point you'll be able to monitize your channel and expect something decent once you established your channel. |

If you want to invest in dogecoin, you should wait for a while because the price is down, and it seems the price will go down for more. Maybe the price increases because people read on Elon Musk's tweet and WSB traders, and after the moment's end, dogecoin will go back down to the lower price. So I suggest you analyze more and find out more news if dogecoin can increase to $1 or not. But in the future, I think dogecoin will have that chance to hit $1 because everything can change in the future.
You need to do your deeper research instead of asking. It's your money that you'll going to stake here, better to prepare yourself in case correction take place, you are ready and you know what to do, unlike with following someone's advise once things didn't materialize for sure you'll go into panic and that will lead you to lose your money, doge is good if you know how to ride with the trends. |

Considering feeding not only myself in the future as having a partner and kids, for medical, school, bills, food, and other necessities of us for the next upcoming decades, I think 1 BTC at a price of ~$30,000 isn't enough. Yeah it seems that it is huge money but for that long years with lots of necessities, it is just not enough.
If you will just relied with that amount considering all your necessities together with your family. Securing your future having maybe 10BTC plus business or investment that will help to accumulate more, we don't know what will happened in the future so better to excess your expected money just in case that there are emergencies that will happened along the way, |
