I think online crypto gambling is still doing the same thing even if the market comes hell or high water since there are other crypto options that you can use if you feel like bitcoin isn't worth being used for gambling.
The more bitcoin or the crypto market gets the attention, the more we will see more gamblers playing their money. It's like there's a celebration in the crypto space when there's a bull run, so people will be enticed to gamble, and that makes the gambling business more profitable in a bull run.

Have you heard that Yolodice close business in the bull run? that's because they already made a lot of money and I think the owner is already satisfied.

I can't believe the Clippers are still choking. I thought they are an improved team this season but it looks like they are even worst than last season.
To be fair with Kahwi and Paul George, they play excellent ball, and shooting very good. It's that the bench team didn't provide any, it seems that they are watching the two and thinking it can bring them the win. While Luka and the Dallas team is scoring, it's really time for Kawhi to shutdown Luka next game.
You can't blame the bench, the coach is making the play, they just follow.
The problem fo the Clippers is their defense, they can't stop Luka, they put Beverly on Luka. lol.. .that will not work.

There are only a few teams who had won the series after getting down 2-0... can the Clippers be one of them?
Kawhi and Toronto was one of them, if my memory serves me right, they are down against the Bucks 0-2 and then won the next 4 games.
I think it's different because they loss in the road, here they loss at home.

The best strategy is to understand that the market is cyclical, and sooner or later there will be a recession after an increase or an increase after a recession.
In this case, the market stood still for a long time at very high levels, it was possible to assume a further fall, which means that it would not be superfluous to fix at least part of the profit in order to be able to survive this moment and buy at the right time.
Yeah, it is very important to understand the market situation and think about what will be the best thing to do. For so many people got rekt as they always in hypes, they forgot that any moment the market will fall. If they invest during the peak season, it is certainly imagining that they are in trouble now and losing. This gonna be the hardest time in our life and sometimes we think about selling in order not to lose it all.

We have been thinking and waiting for a big big dip after watching markets going constant upwards. Now is the time you should buy your favorite alts and wait for their recovery, this is not a financial advice so do your research before buying anything and stay away from futures, so many traders got rekt few minutes ago. You can wait too if you think the markets are going to present more circus before the dust settles.

Even if you claim your advice, not financial advice it's still a piece of good advice when the market is in bull people are asking for a dip so they can buy cheap, now that the market is in dip it's time to buy, every dip is an open opportunity to make a profit for the future.

The market is still in bull season and it will pump anytime, if you lose your opportunity it will take months before you can buy cheap again.
Okay, but you have to choose wisely. I mean, just choose those reliable coins, not those memes if we wanted assurance of our ROI.

I can remember that I was buying shitcoins last 2018, they are very cheap and encourage me to buy some of them but until now, they are still lying dead. Definitely, it was a wrong choice of coin and if I have to invest now, we have to choose the top altcoins. It is much better to invest more on Bitcoin, honestly.
3525  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: what are you investment strategy on: May 24, 2021, 11:49:52 PM
I never borrowed to trade btw, because that's not healthy, imo. I prefer to be a less greedy short time hodler. I joined several telegram groups and paid attention to social media that discussed crypto (especially Twitter). although some people think that it's useless, I think I'm good enough to use it. I only buy coins that are dipping and are expected to rise again in the short term, although the profit is not much, the profit is still a profit, and I'm happy about that
Well, it was your beliefs towards social media but honestly, a lot of people getting rekt because of this platform. Just look into how Elon Musk influences the market, he uses social media. Though there is no wrong about your doing as you can still be learning from them and as well as it adds awareness.

It is very important for us to know what exactly we are doing, we have to invest in the thing that we think we're good and profit, not because of the influence by someone else.
3526  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trader took his own life after the recent huge dump on: May 22, 2021, 09:32:04 PM
We can't really understand the real scenario as we don't know how much he struggles, and his emotional stress.

Maybe he sees the crypto as his last hope for success, hoping, wishing, and putting it all in it.

And that he was wrong. We know the risk in trading, we know that we can't find 100% assurance of market returns. He supposedly thinks that thing before. Too hard to imagine a person doing like this and one common reason is that they can't take the stress anymore leading to suicide.

Or what if that money is coming from a loan and he can't pay anymore makes him decide to take his life. What makes it difficult into his situation is that he never tells what he feels.
3527  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low can the next bear market go? on: May 22, 2021, 02:14:25 PM
We don't know how low will the prices go, we just have to see what's next for the bitcoin prices, we will only see it when it eventually happens and we passed by that low price and then that's when we know that it will be the lowest price when it is already too late.
Yeah, it is unknown and nobody could tell such a situation when it comes.
But I have faith in Bitcoin believing that even the moment has come for another dip, Bitcoin could still stand and remains to be dominating the market. What we have to give trust, we have this struggle so many times and see what? We even see the market grow more and leads to another ATH but as usual, dumps are a part of crypto life, it is either will come tomorrow or in a few days. Just have faith and trust, we don't need to panic, and everything will be fine.

3528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I lost all my crypto gains this not fair! on: May 22, 2021, 01:51:29 PM
I had 3k on pancakeswap and did almost 4x now is return to break even.
I had Ethereum 4.7 now its 2k
I had ada $2 now is 1.5
Also I lost in ogn

I lost a lot of money on crypto more than 8000$

Is it recoverble this year?
Well, I hope so but not sure with the market if it bounces back high again as we can see that most of the altcoins are declining.

Losing $8,000 is no joke at all. There are only 2 options that you need to think and that is to sell or hold. If you sell it now, you may save some but if you just hold, still not sure of the outcomes.

This gonna be a break-even, it is really hard to predict but if you have faith and trust in these coins, then holding might be good. But don't get mad as the recovery will take time.
3529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: May 22, 2021, 12:58:28 PM
Guys, very fresh news and this thread's title is no longer going to happen. Check out Manny Pacquiao's Facebook page, he just posted about him against Spence on  August 21, 2021, in Vegas. (https://www.facebook.com/MannyPacquiao/posts/313198150177686)
I have been looking for some articles and fresh news on the web but I haven't found one. I guess this only proves that there are no other media that knew it until Manny Pacquiao has announced it. But later, for sure there will be news about this upcoming and confirmed match.


That's a good one, even better than the Crawford fight. Thanks for posting that mate, I like that one, I thought Manny will not anymore fight an undefeated champion, and this news is just a big one, hopefully, it will happen because we already have two possible fights for him that was not realized.

Seems legit as the Facebook account is the real account of the People's Champ Manny Pacquiao, and the proof is the 16 million followers.
I'm just wondering, is this a done deal or still under negotiation?

I heard he announce a fight against Crawford the last time and it did not happen.

Kiefer feels a big man can turn NLEX from good to great. Beau perhaps?


What do you guys think?

I think if it's Beau Belga, it will not give big impact to the team, I like a big man that is dominant and I think if they can get  Greg, it could help them.
I know JMF is better than Greg, but at least Greg could give JMF a hard time when they play against each other.
3531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 22, 2021, 12:19:54 PM
And now let the playoffs begins tomorrow. Bucks vs Miami, will Bucks get their revenge?
We might see a different Heat starting this playoffs. They are back to being a healthy roster except for Victor Oladipo.
Butler have a different attack when the playoffs starts just like last year.
I won't be sure the Bucks could win with a sweep on this one. Miami might even be able to snatch one game from them in their homecourt.
Grizzlies won so they will be against the number 1 Utah Jazz. This might become a sweep.
Lakers are lucky they are against an inexperienced Phoenix Suns except for CP3. They might be able to upset them if Booker won't play as he used to.
Yes, i agree with you! In the last few years, Miami Heat grown up and improved your team.
It will be an interesting game, but in my humble opinion the Bucks can beat the Heat.
Despite the bad performance of the Bucks last playoffs, they are still the favorites to win the series.


https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-60619e1fb94a977c3192ea9a

Is Bucks an overrated team?

Another game that I’m also anxious to watch, is Clippers vs Mavericks. Will be an interesting game!

Will we see another Luka Magic? Hopefully, KP will stay healthy in the series.

This should be an interesting series.
3532  Other / Off-topic / Re: Now tell me if you still believe on Elon Musk. on: May 22, 2021, 11:31:24 AM
I don't believe in what Elon Musk said, I just believe on myself Grin Anyway, it's not good to rely on others word like the tweet of Elon which is full of FUD. I don't think why people believe that person, which always made a bad statements for bitcoin.
In the first place, Elon Musk is one of the known personalities, he is a rich, and business-minded person. It is not unusual to see that many people got his attention when he joins the crypto world but somehow, we are really disappointed thinking that he just ruin the market and even tried to manipulate us. That only I find why the majority hated Elon but couldn't to wonder that many were still believing him despite those unrealistic talks that he made.

Well, I'm also the one who hates him, if he will change his behavior and give support to crypto, maybe this could be changes.
3533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can not crash on: May 22, 2021, 10:13:34 AM
I believe those with powers to crash cryptocurrency can do it. The Chinese government announced a clamp down on crypto investment in the country and if every other government do the same, nothing will stop the crash of Bitcoin. And on selling your properties to invest in Cryptocurrency, you have already goofed in the first caution of crypto investment. You should only invest what you can afford to lose to always avoid the story that touch.
A sort of manipulation will certainly be going to happen and Elon Musk did this. But I never think that the future of Bitcoin lies in their hands as I still believing that despite this dump, it will recover then. In fact, we are up now after a huge crash down to $32k, we are moving back at $40k. So we can say that these rich people can't really take everything we had in the market. Only they can afford to do is to dump but not in a way they can control the entire market.

So, there is nothing to worried about, even this Chinese Government can't do that.
3534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which best Altcoins to buy & HODL for some months on: May 22, 2021, 09:54:53 AM
I mostly prefer top altcoins which seem more credible to me. I don't like to take much higher risks by investing into new and not-promising projects in the market. My choices now are ETH and BNB.

Top altcoins are indeed more reliable, but the profit from holding such coins will be lower than from investing in new altcoins. For this reason, I use part of my money to buy such coins, the price of which is now very much reduced. In general, you can now buy almost any altcoins, because if the bull market continues, they will increase in price.
I saw also that many of the new projects are more in hype than the old coins but the problem is to find which project as we can't also deny that many of them are scams and fake. Of course, if that only we know and if we believe that particular project is obviously growing, we have to take it, though. Anyway, we just talking about short-term holding, so why not? Maybe we got lucky, who knows right?

Top altcoins are the best choice when talking about a long-term investment as they are proven and tested.


3535  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it good time to invest in bitcoin? on: May 21, 2021, 11:13:30 PM
Hi, I am new to crypto? I was just following the crypto market for last few days. is this a good time to invest in bitcoin? if yes then short term or long term.

Thanks in advance.
At this time while the price considered as still high, short-term is ideal but for sure it changes depending on the market flow and also what is your plan.
Besides, we believe that Bitcoin will even grow more in the coming years that is why some will take the risk of holding.

But for me, I prefer a short deal, buying and selling are still the strategies I used which in this way I took every opportunity to make a profit.
Anyway, not all have the same opinion, so I suggest you should think about the best way. And must be sure that what will happen to you have nothing to regrets.
3536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 21, 2021, 01:15:56 PM
Because he understands that players are looking for better opportunities, and he understands how SMB and Pangilinan control the PBA.  He is a very vocal coach and I think he likes Jericho a lot and believes in him so he gives him an opportunity to showcase his talent abroad. With that being said, he also understands what his team can do only and it's not as good as the SMB teams.
Yes, that's why many admire Coach Yeng Guiao for the way he handles things and his players. But later on once Jericho is done with playing for Guam, he's good and can easily come back to the team. That's why in the position of Jericho, Yeng understands that the guy has multiple opportunities and he doesn't want to be the obstacle for the guy to take as many opportunities as he can. Not just a coach to coach a team but also like a father to most of the players that he's coaching.
Jericho Cruz deserves to be given more opportunity to play and to be in a better team, it's just so pity that he played with a struggling NLEX team, this team hs not been in the Finals or even semi Finals when coach Yeng assume it, it's very different during coach Yeng time with ROS or prior to that where he has more success.

If given  good opportunities and let him play with well dominating team inside this league, he have lots of skills to showcase, sad thing that NLEX is not that type of team right now.

We've seen their performance from the last bubble, they don't have the right pieces for their campaign, more on offensive guards but lack with big men who can play inside and compete with those big man around the league.

Let see if what coach Yeng have this season, like what you have said it's no longer the same level from what he have before.

He had his team with the TNT, and I really liked his position with the team but sadly he was traded If I'm not mistaken. His first team which is the Rain or  Shine, that's where he really shines, I guess his problem was him being easily injured that's why the team traded him, that was the first time he was traded.

It was a long ago, I can't remember all the teams he played but one thing I will never forget is that this guy knows how to ball.



All the information can be found here.

source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_Cruz

Career history
2014–2018   Rain or Shine Elasto Painters
2018–2019   TNT KaTropa
2019–present   NLEX Road Warriors


Career highlights and awards
PBA champion (2016 Commissioner's)
3× PBA All-Star (2016–2018)
PBA Most Improved Player (2016)
PBA All-Rookie Team (2015)
PBA Mr. Quality Minutes (2016)


With that achievement, you can tell how successful already Jericho is as a PBA player.

Don't bet with emotions on this one guys because it's a tricky one!

Personally , I won't bet this game but I will watch it and I must say that I expect a win from GSW just because Curry is a clutch player and I think he will come and play big tonight scoring more than 30 points but in the end the advantage will be make on who has the better defense tonight.

Nice advice, I would not do that either, both teams are desperate to win since this is the last game between them this season. I love Curry of course, but the 37 points was not enough against the Lakers, so I hope somebody will step up to help him, not only the familiar faces.
3538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This isn't the first time the dip has happened on: May 20, 2021, 11:07:11 PM
These declines were not the first and will not be the last. Of course, an investor who has spent time in this market knows these. The real investor is the person who stays in this market during the bear season and the bull season and seizes the opportunities. As people who believe in bitcoin, I am not worried about the dips in this market and I evaluate them. Denigrating bitoin in the fall is just manipulation and ignorance.
Indeed, it was a common scenario that we have to experience but I just wonder why many people still understand this but they keep blaming others as the reason for the dip. Many of them are probably selling their holdings now, they are quite panicking at this time when seeing a huge market decline. But above all these things this gives an opportunity for the whales and some investors to take advantage of the market while many were dumping their cryptos.

Many are waiting for this moment to time and we have noticed that the price easily recovers as this because the buying demand goes high right after the dip. I think that many had taken the opportunity helping the situation to get back in a shorter time than what we expected.
3539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge is to hold should not be trading on: May 20, 2021, 10:37:56 PM
You may find it wrong OP...and I know everyone knows that this is just a meme coin and you will think about holding? You are just bringing yourself to losses. May trading will work but we have to be careful as a hyped coin is very risky, you might fall into the trap that Elon Musk has created.

And if you are planning for a long-term investment, you should not include this on your bucket list. Find another that you will be confident that it grows in the future, not that it gives you losses as we can see that this project skyrocketed just because of Elon, if he is done, what do you think will happen?
3540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: May 20, 2021, 11:43:26 AM
Well there is still a chance that the fight might happen in the future, as Crawford contract with Arum's Top Rank is reported to be end by October,

Quote
Crawford’s contract with Top Rank Boxing will reportedly end in October 2021. Many have speculated that he will sign on with PBC in an attempt to secure fights with Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr. Time will tell if that’s the direction he will go in.

https://www.fightsports.tv/terence-crawfords-sister-goes-off-on-bob-arum/

So if Crawford sit it out the rest of 2021, and wait for his contract to end, so he can go directly to Manny or move to PBC to negotiate the fight.

The only chance for this fight to happen if Crawford will not anymore renew his contract, hopefully, it will happen, maybe next year we will see this fight as one fight for Manny this year is already enough and that is against Garcia.

Thank you @Jating , nice share, it's good news indeed.
