loans with collateral here.

rates:  you want to borrow  100$ of btc then you have to put 120$ as a collateral.

next time i give you with lower intrest if you pay back honestly and right time !!

Good luck with your business but I think you'll have a hard time finding a borrower  if there's no trusted escrow in the forum that will middle the transaction, that would not happen that one will trust his collateral to a non reputable members, and also the rate is too high for a collateralize loan, some lenders here are even offering less than 10% per month for a non collateral loan.

How can it be rigged? Do you have any documents or video, so we can see and investigate and give our honest opinion to the matter because blindy accusing the game is rigged isn't really going to get us anywhere.
Just because Lakers is winning easily versus Miami doesn't mean that their cheating because of uncalled fouls, same goes for them sometimes referee's miss call a play with a foul without a player committing one. It also show that Lakers are better because of seasoned and veteran players they have.

Search in youtube, you can see a lot of videos saying NBA is rigged, but it's up to you if you will believe or not, either way, no one has already proved that NBA is rigged, all of what we can read and watch are just theories based on their observation.

It could look like a ponzi to you but it's not a ponzi.

Look, bitcoin does not promise anything, it's only our own initiative to invest on it as it's real purpose really is just a payment system, a decentralized one, we see it's potential and the adoption increases that is why the price has rise as well.

yes, there might be some manipulation happening and in fact bitcoin was on its dip many times, but did it collapse and died? No, it recovers and looks like going to make a new ATH again soon.

If the odds are greater than +900, you can bet on both outcomes of the battle and get a guaranteed profit.

I don't get what you meant here, it's not possible in sports unless bookies are stupid enough to offer an odds on both sides that makes gamblers win regardless of the outcome, I think that's giving free money and have never happen based on my experience being a sports bettors for many years.

Young ones with confidence already. .

I hope that those young player's confidence will still be the same once they now played in a pressured environment.

They didn't feel yet the pressure of playing against the big crowd as they are like playing in a practice.

These kids have a future. I just hope they will be utilized more.
Yep, playoff environment outside the bubble is very different from the inside. I agree there's less pressure competing in finals this year, and so the young Heat haven't felt what the real NBA finals is. I bet they won't make it to the finals again next year again, not unless if they'll improve their roster by acquiring a legitimate big man. Bam is way too undersized to fill the center position.

My honest opinion about this series is that, it's obviously a mismatch, the reason why the NBA was suffering from the all time low tv ratings on game 1 of the NBA finals.


The question is which team in the East would match the Lakers considering the best teams fall down against the Miami Heat. 1st round series - Miami Heat swept Indiana Pacers, 2nd round- Bucks best team in the NBA lucky to won one game against Heat, ECF, Heat won 4-2. I guess Heat deserves the credit here, Lebron built a super team and he was again successful this time with the Lakers.

Heat had so much to improve, they can get another superstar next season to pair with Jimmy and they'll be competitive in the NBA Finals if they'll ever come back.
3506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: October 06, 2020, 11:15:59 PM
That Miami Heat win is too much of a talk. Eventually, they now become a threat? Jobs not finished.
They are always a threat, and the win on Miami, it was actually Butler whom they are talking with.
Series is now 2-1, it's not far away for this game to be over, Miami won even undermanned so they can still pull out a win here.

They are a threat IMO.

Miami Heat won but not because they outshine the Lakers. It's just that the Lakers are having a bad night. It's not the usual Miami Heat vs Celtics wherein all games are close. On that Game 3, the Lakers are undershooting and AD got foul trouble early.
That's how it is, you lose because the your team had a bad night and the other team are doing well.
A win is a win, no matter how they achieve t.

That's not usual on Lakers so they will adjust to the next game. They become serious now as they are voicing out concerns in the locker room especially when LeBron shows unprofessionalism on the court and the poor performance they showed that night. AD speaks, Rondo speaks, they are all fired up and will come back on a different levels on Game4.

Lakers in 5. Not a fan of the Lakers but I have to admit they already owned the current series.



It's expected that they will adjust and for sure Heat have already anticipated that and they will do the same.
In game 4, we don't know who's gonna win but we have our bet.

Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor pulled in 4.3M domestic PPV buys, $600M
I think it would already be considered as a big success.

You need to remind that bulk of the PPV buys come from the United States. Floyd Mayweather is an American, and within the US his fan base is much larger than that of Conor McGregor. So I would say that Mayweather was responsible for most of this revenue inflow. You can't expect the Manny Pacquiao-Conor McGregor fight to pull in the same number of PPV buys.
You cant say so because even these fighters arent residing in US but doesnt mean that they wont really get that much support in terms of PPV. Of course, interest would really be there.
It might not be equalled nor match on Mayweather history when it comes to ppv sales but at least it will show some considerate numbers or quantities knowing that these
boxers arent just some average ones.These are "World Champions" and with that alone you can really presume out that this will generate sufficient hype and interest to drive
this to some good revenue both into its promoters and from boxers itself.
Manny is not new in the US, ask some Americans on who is their favorite fighter, Manny or Mayweather and you'll be surprise with their answer. IF floyld were able to pull out that big money in that exhibition fight, I don't think Manny would be left behind. Also, let's put in mind that promoters aren't dump to spend money for this fight if they don't see the potential.

Less expense for them actually as they will not rent an Arena anymore if the fight happen without a crowd.

Another night, another match. This one I'm going to watch despite I'm from Europe and ti will be in the middle of the night.Hoping here that Miami can take this one and equalize and then we will see what Lakers are made of  if Dragic gets the time to recover fully to play in some games.
That's what we do if we are a  real fan of the NBA, we won't want to miss this game as NBA Finals does not happen everyday. You are rooting for the Heat? Nice, I'm hoping you are right and they will win so this series could possibly go to game 7, imagine the excitement of the Heat will come from behind.

I'm reading some meme's that Kobe died 41 so Lakers will end the series at 4-1, that means Heat won't win a game until the series ends.

Hopefully not gonna happen.  Grin

Betting is not for everybody, for somebody it can be difficult, for somebody it can be very easy, everything depends on your knowledge and preferences. Personally I feel more confident when I bet more on less matches, I think that this gives me more chances to win and it is true.

Based on my experience yes, with few games, you only new a little time to study the games before you pull the trigger and you yourself are sure that everything was carefully analyze so you are confident regardless of the outcome, also, that's what the experts are telling, if possible only pick one game per day so all your focus and attention will be given to the game you think you have the higher chance of winning.
3510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: October 05, 2020, 11:03:22 PM
Yes that could be true if there will only be limited people who will attend then there's a chance that it will result to a lower profit and so the fight will not earn and might just waste their two teams efforts. It's good thing to know that Pacquiao's intention was to fight McGregor on purpose of helping his fellow countrymen.

I think the kind of figure they are looking would not match to the previous fight of Conor McGregor against Mayweather, $100 million to $200 million is still huge considering the pandemic.

If they get this figure. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/21770652/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-43-million-domestic-ppv-buys-600-million

I thought Lakers would sweep the Heat for 4-0 but seems the heat was able to beat them up i was looking for 4-3 fight here I wanted to see more games between this two teams. I just hope I would be able to predict right so I would win some amount on the next game.
This is why you called this gambling because everything can happen just like this recent game happened in game 3 where everyone didn't really expect for Miami to win and
lots had already lost their hopes even on getting a single win against Lakers.Whom would expect that they will able to pull it through?

The young core of heat works well and butler's performance is so good yesterday and if they play the same on the next game for sure the probabilities to win will still huge. The ball still round and the one we didn't expect came out the winner so I bet the betting phase will be different in game 4.



Heat will continue what they did in game 3 as they had it work successful in favor for them but certainly the Lakers will adjust as Davis weren't as productive as he was in the last 2 games of this series, I am expecting a close game in game 4, but I'm not certain if Heat will even the series with a win.

Any exchange getting hacked in going to make problems so far as reputation is concerned. It was only Binance that I can think of that managed to cover losses from that their users would face after that hack happened and they covered losses with their own funds. Not all exchanges are in a position to do that.

The reputation and customer confidence in Kucoin will have dropped a lot no doubt.

Although they claimed the funds were insured but till now there is no progress made into this direction. The effected projects are doing this job to make sure to return the funds to the exchange wallet. I also think this will damage the reputation of Kucoin in future.

Back then, Binance was able to quickly recover the losses that occurred due to hack I think that's the reason their reputation was intact. I think It will all depend on how quickly KuCoin will act to reimburse the users who lost $$ during the Kucoin hack.

They guarantee that they will reimburse the hack funds, did we see any problem already regarding their promise, do people complain about their funds not reimbursed by Kucoin? If they won't reimburse, that, we can say that it will affect their reputation which I doubt they'll allow that to happen.

Good luck to the brave people that bet the Heat moneyline hehehe.
Our risk has been paid off since they got the Victory in Game 3 Cheesy.
Can we consider ourselves brave now Cheesy. I like to risk some money when it comes to betting but just small amounts Smiley.
Congrats to us who bet on Miami in Money Line.
You guys did it.

Are you planning to bet on it again for game 4 with Heat? I think the odds this time will be different.

My bet has won 5x although it is just a small amount, a win is a win.
Yes! it's still a win and that 5x made it even better.

That was a lucky bet, x5, even if you lose in the last 2 games, you are already ahead as you already get x5 in this game.

They won in game 3 without Bam, why not bet on them in game 4, nothing change, Bam will play, the better but if he will not, you can still trust the Heat here. Unfortunately there's no more x5 in game 4, it's only x3.50 at the moment and the line is +(-) 6.5

Nuggets also had that kind of odds against the Lakers IIRC, but that was just one game from the underdog, so those who bet at that odds has to enjoy it since it could not happen again, just saying.. but I love to see this series to go as far as 7 games.

However, don't stress just wait, everything will work as usual

I think that is the wise thing to do at the time. I do expect and believe that bull run will very soon come. This is the time called planting ,so that we can harvest big when the bull run take up the cryptocurrency .
The cryptocurrency market is always volatile, don't be afraid of bad moves.
Keeping your calm and analyzing the market carefully, chances are that the timing of a price drop is the best time for people to buy and profit when the market goes up.

It's the easier strategy to make money by short term trading, as long as you do it with the right coins, you'll definitely not gonna wait long to sell at a profit. As we can see here (https://coinmarketcap.com/), the market has quite dump now, so keep an eye or this as it could dump further, then that's the time to buy and enter while waiting for the market to recover.

Actually very simple if you don't make things complicated, if you just know how to trust crypto, you can make the right decision most of the time.

That's expected, well, if the NBA is rigged, they can manipulate the series to make it look exciting despite the fact Lakers in reality can dominate the Heat here. If something will happen that we don't know then we must bet on it, what about Heat to win straight up in game 2, is that a good idea?


Game 1 of NBA Finals sees lowest viewership in recorded ratings History

Quote
A trend of low ratings throughout the NBA postseason has now reached the NBA Finals. And hit it hard.

Game 1 of the Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought in only 7.41 million viewers to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is reportedly the lowest viewership seen for the Finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded.

The number is down 45 percent from last year’s Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors, which had 13.51 million viewers. This is the fourth straight year Game 1 viewership has gone down compared to the previous season.

The previous low for the Finals was reportedly 8.06 million in Game 3 of the 2007 NBA Finals. That was the third game of a sweep by the San Antonio Spurs of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James’ first Finals appearance.

NBA will surely do something here, game 1 was a boring game but in game 2, I expect it a close game to give the fans some thrill they didn't see in game 1.
Can we really say that the NBA is rigged as of this moment that is why the viewership of it got lowered?

I think one reason of this is that many are already expecting that the Lakers will win the championship so there is no reason for them to watch. Its like what happened in our league here in our country. Every year, the team who got the championship is the same and the competition is gone already that is why people aren't watching anymore.

Anyway, I expect for this series to either a sweep or will end in 5 games. I agree though that the Game 1 was a boring and I didn't see any competition throughout the game. Hope this will not the same scenario in Game 2.

What I was saying is only the game 1, and we all saw what happen, it wasn't as exciting as the Celtics/Heat series and Lakers/Denver series, it's like a group of big boys playing the little boys, we don't want to see that in game 2, so if NBA is rigged, refs will do the action here, expect some bad calls and miss calls.

It was terrible and it happened again. I never transacted there again. but this shows that it is very dangerous to store assets there. I think everyone will move their assets.

We have lots of bad news on exchanges lately. Just recently, we have some bad news about Bitmex exchange.

you can find the news here ;https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279466.msg55301590#msg55301590

Though this is not about hacking but it will certainly create some panic, maybe it's bigger as it does reflect to the market with a price dump.

Washington, D.C. — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced the filing of a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York charging five entities and three individuals that own and operate the BitMEX trading platform with operating an unregistered trading platform and violating multiple CFTC regulations, including failing to implement required anti-money laundering procedures. This case is brought in connection with the Division of Enforcement’s Digital Asset and Bank Secrecy Act Task Forces.

This is a huge violation, I have a feeling that they won't survive on this, this isn't about the owner but the company as a whole, so I can understand if people get panic, and I think another competitor will get down soon.

Seeing that he will use his earnings and donate it to charity or the government's efforts in the pandemic is a very noble cause indeed. He has given many and has helped many in his country and his help will be greatly needed in this time of troubles and uncertainty. Manny still has power left and would still be able to execute many moves that could beat his opponent and will be able to do more to help the poor and those who need help.

We can't doubt his power especially against an MMA fighter. Manny Pacquiao might old if you look at the age, but he just beat a young fighter and he is currently the champion in that division, this is just an easy fight for Manny and easy money, that's why taking it is not hard.
