My pick.

Game: OKC vs Sacramento Kings.

Kings will have to win this game, and hopefully, they will cover the spread.
OKC is official a bad team this season, and since they are 1-9 in the last 10 games, I think they'll easily lose in this game and will be dominated like what the GSW did to them. Therefore my pick is Kings -9

Good pick overall with Kings-9 and the odd is really good and I'm thinking to combine this with Bulls -8 as like you mentioned OKC is bad team but they are also in full re-construction this year so taking Kings is the good decision and on Bulls they really need to win most of the remaining games to secure that last spot of play-offs because Wizards are looking strong lately.

OKC is out in the playoff chance, while Kings still has. They are rank number 12, just a few wins away from the number 11 and number 10.. so I think they will play harder and win this game with dominance. I agree with the pick and I will follow it, and just like @boltz, I'm also finding another game where I can put my money just to add more entertainment. I'm thinking of the Suns vs LA Lakers game. maybe Suns would give this win to the Lakers, who knows... maybe they'll rest their starters.


Both wins if you place your other bet for LA , Davis shows his monstrous game carrying the Lakers.

So amazing seeing him as healthy as this, with the back up of all the players who played around him. Seems they are now back in shape and ready to make some damage before the playoffs.

Imagine them playing like this then add LeBron chasing for another title.. Congrats!

  • If you decide to gamble, you should keep a record of how much money and time you spend on gambling daily. Studies show that gamblers lose track of how much time and money they spend on gambling.

Does any of these methods work for you? How do you keep a rein on your gambling habits?
I actually do this all the time.
Fiat or in crypto, every detail about the bet should be listed. I am mostly in sports betting so it is not that difficult.
You put your bet, you list how much it is, or just remember it since there is already a history in most of the sports betting sites.
There should also be a budget. Let's say 50k satoshis per day, don't go over that limit.
Discipline should be implemented or else you will keep on doing it until you get broke.
There is always another day where you go lucky.

Don't exceed as the chance that you'll regret the amount of money that you may lose is really unexpected.

Better to play with the amount that you really capable of losing and aim only for a certain target and never to get greedy to aim for more
most of the time it leads you to lose your bankroll.

Always think before making your move, gambling is a high risk activities.

ADA holders will always win if the market continues to be bullish at its peak, the current ADA price has provided a profit if you still hold ADA it will provide maximum profit, it is very attractive if you buy ADA when the bear market, the profits you get, will definitely be greater. ADA top 6 Coinmarketcap until now has also been able to grow and is very valuable that ADA has great potential to be more valuable.

ADA holders are now enjoying what they are seeing inside the market, currently moving upwards and still gaining supports and investments.

If you still have it until today surely you see a huge profits in a span of almost 3 weeks, and if you are still positive and you bought more while corrections
is still ongoing,

You are adding more money to your investment and you'll earn more if you believe that this coin will achieved higher than this current value.

You have to control your emotions when it comes to gambling don't be discouraged. The result does not directly depend on the player's strategy or skill although bets are not controllable the player realizes that they are it is a fact that can lead to their misuse it is better to stop gambling if the amount of damage is high if the trader the participating gambler is respectful of the rules he can legally run a profitable casino business. Going forward with your own experience will not always be profitable even if it is a loss we have try to overcome it with alternative steps.

All the casino games have an negative expected value for the gambler. This so called House edge is what makes casino profitable. But this doesn't mean that we are always going to lose money. It only means that if we gamble long enough we will lose more games than we win. We as gamblers can't change that, but what we can change is how much money we lose and how much money we win. Our goal should be to win more that we lose by changing our bet size.

Winning is doable if you know how to stay with the plan, your bankroll also safe if you know how to control everything while playing.

The more you continue playing the more the house edge take the advantage, but if you have the right mindset and you know how to control yourself
during your stay, the chance is much better for you limit your lose or to grab decent profits.

All about how you execute your strategy the right way.

Surely, Elon Musk has the capability to disturb the price movement in the market but he can only do that for specific coins.
He's a billionaire and having a lots of followers he can manage to do things that will influenced the market. Not that big deal with him, though surely he's understanding what he's doing and he got a lots of knowledge about certain move that he's going to deal with.

Quote
We cannot expect him and he would probably not invest on too many coins because that will be detrimental on his side at some point.
We can't conclude that, he can switch from one project to another or he can split it out and keep rinsing more from any actions that he'll going to take.

Quote
Even we would sign the petition you've made, we are against a billionaire who has a net worth that's continuously increasing over the years.
That's really the main point here, he's not going to be affected whatever petitions we'll be made against his actions inside this market.

Quote
Also, sooner or later, this influence he is making will fade afterwards after some time so all we can do for now is wait, endure and watch as we're no match against him.
With more investors to come and more Billionaires showing their own interest, this hypes coming from Musk might be more normalize.
3546  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: your worst mistake on: May 07, 2021, 05:11:16 PM
almost everyone has mistakes but it is all a very valuable lesson. smart people will learn from their previous mistakes. panic sell is a mistake that I once regretted. but because of that mistake now I am changing and more observant in looking to take advantage of trading.

Most of us if not all have that same sentiments, panic selling or sell too early then see the huge pumped happened to our assets,

We have to  accept that and regrets should be for a while then after we do need to move forward and make sure that we will not do
the same mistake again.

I have an one mistake. When I'm starting to trade then i didn’t have good experience about trading. I buy token and long term hold but Couldn't make good profit due to being too late. Coz The price of token has come down a lot's i think, at first you need to trading signal and also need to good experience for trading.

After that experienced, for sure we will be able to practice a much better way before taking our steps again, trading should be studied first

before engaging and invest in your money.

When dealing up with things then its up to you whether you do engage on a particular thing which might really be the opportunity for you to earn more rather than on spending it.
It's always your decision to make, if you do have important things to do and use your save money, better to deal with first before participating never
to gamble any amount that suppose to be use in other important things.

There are just basically had some rules for us to follow and if we do find out that we arent applicable to join then theres nothing we can do but to wait up for another window of  opportunity to join
Learn how to appreciate, wait for your turned for sure there's always a window to everyone, if one thing is not for you to join the wait it up
there's always another day and who knows what will happen after.

It's still fine to teach a child about cryptocurrency at an early age but you also have to consider the child's capability to adopt things and her interest about it.
That's the big challenge there, the interest of a child is very important knowing that even they are techy enough their mindsets are still lock with

those online games or any other interest that they can do online.

Quote
It would also be nice if you would consider teaching her about the father of cryptocurrency first which is Bitcoin before teaching her about other altcoins so she'll have a little background about how cryptocurrency works.

I must agree with you, Bitcoin first before alts, it's better to teach them the very fundamentals and common so it would be more easy adopting

and then go and proceed to more deeper sides of crypto.

There's not specific date yet, but I believe it will be soon.
Yes, no specific date yet but the way the development is going, it looks like it could happen anytime soon, if not this month it will probably be next month. They are working on it, we can expect a positive result from their effort. The first step, get a go signal from IATF, then everything will follow.

After that go signal that they are really working on, next news might be the finalization of the date.  So far we are all waiting for the this approval,

might be next month or if they'll get it earlier this month might also possible to push it and announce the earliest that they can, but in the positive side
they are working on it making sure that they'll really want to make it happen.

Better than nothing, unless you'll okay with other league that have controversial issues..
3550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - June 6 on: May 06, 2021, 01:23:32 PM
What an very interesting fight, seeing again Floyd Mayweather entering the ring is giving me an excitement to watch the fight although it is just an exhibition fight

I don't understand where's the excitement there wherein Floyd Mayweather will fight a Youtuber and internet personality.

I don't mind if it's an exhibition match or not but the real excitement is a battle within the same league.

That's why others said that Mayweather is killing the art of entertainment in boxing. A good tactic to earn money without a hassle.

That's right, at least Mayweather fight a real boxer, not a popular YouTuber, however, it's his decision and it's up to us if we will support this kind of exhibition, without us, this would not be successful and there will be no more fights like this in the future. It's really easy for him as his opponent has not experienced winning in a boxing match yet based on his record, but Floyd is an undefeated fight at different championships, which means easy form him or easy money.

Without the interest from the fans this kind of exhibition fight won't gain any success..

For sure there are people who loves seeing him inside the ring some might think that he'll be beaten and a lucky punch may land to his face and knock him down, others may really supporting him due to his defensive talent.

The support from the audience brings money for this two fighters, they are relying with them, if there are many who'll embrace this kind of setting then expect to see more and more exhibition to happen.,

Remember that those challenges and experienced taught you to become a better "you" today. Past is past, your decisions before can not get back and change.
Regret won't help you anyway, better to face your future than dwelling with your past! It will help positively if you analyze what are those wrong that

you've did and make sure to learn not to do the same.

If you aren't rich because of your past decisions, then it is not your time now to become victorious.
Accept it, if isn't for you then so be it! move forward and keep trying your best, maybe time will come and you'll achieve the desire that you want.

Move forward, buddy. There are many great new doors for you to become successful. If mining aren't your forte, choose other fields that will help you to gain more.

3552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 06, 2021, 02:25:28 AM
but we have to understand that Kuzma was a big contributor during the NBA Finals where Lakers won.

Game1 - 3 PTS / 22 MINS = Lakers win by 18
Game 2 - 11 PTS / 21 MINS = Lakers win by 10
Game 3 - 19 PTS / 23 MINS = Lakers lose by 11
Game 4 - 9 PTS / 19 MINS = Lakers win by 6
Game 5 - 7 PTS / 22 MINS = Lakers lose by 3
Game 6 - 2 PTS / 22 MINS = Lakers win by 13

Sorry but I don't know where's the part that Kuzma is a big contributor on the last year's NBA Finals.

Anyways, just to be clear, we are not judging Kuzma here in a negative way. It's that just we noticed his "consistent inconsistency" throughout the 4 seasons of his career as a Lakers on which he should suppose to be in his prime. Smiley

Maybe LeBron saw something special in Kuzma. I don't know but LeBron kept bragging about Kuzma being one of the league's face in the future. But the main issue about him is his inconsistency. He could've stepped up when It matters most during the absence of their 2 best players. We'll he have stepped up and lead his team in points during that time, but they have struggled to win games.
In fairness to him, I could say that he's not really a bad defender. He can actually guard tightly. His defensive presence  is a good addition to win games, but then again his offensive inconsistency makes him looks like he's just a mediocre player.

I used to remember when Him and Clarkson playing together they are both offensives, same a like when Kobe and Eddie Jones are playing together.

I was expecting more from him when LeBron transferred to LA thinking that he'll be a good wing for Lebron. But same with how you see the type of game he got, being inconsistent is the very first thing that you'll going to notice from him.
Unlike with Clarkson where you'll see improvements with the type of game he's showing to all his fans, Kuzma should adjust for good.
3553  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW MANY PEOPLE % DOES REALLY SUCCEED ON CRYPTOCURRENCY on: May 05, 2021, 05:53:39 PM
Hello guys,
does anyone have any statistics % or information about how many people either succeed or fail (lose their money) doing trading in cryptocurrencies, also the people who are working on their own coin project( not a scam project)?
Thank you
There's no specific number because if you do try to look the entire crypto market in terms of marketcap or liquidity then you can tell that lots had make out some involvement.

and on the question on how many did succeed in terms of percentage? No one knows. Its not possible to know neither someone is losing or making money.

So I wont be bothering myself on finding the numbers because you would just basically be stressing out yourself on this matter.

exactly! those figures are hard to come up with. just remember that  almost all crypto users around the world are anonymous, so how can you get stats on that? also, most crypto users at one point lost in trading. how can you derive some stats from that kind of situation?
and regards with the number of people, still a tedious job to do. most blockchain projects that are anonymous dont disclose how many are truly working on their project. so this as well, is hard to get the real numbers.
i guess, the OP can just forget those, unless he wants to go crazy finding those numbers...
This is what im saying on which its a bit pointless on trying to research about these numbers because it wouldn't really be that precise due to continuous adoption and recognition..

and with all the project and coins that we do have in the market then it is really hard to find off if you are really aiming to know the statistics.

Lastly, this is really indeed a tedious task or very big work to be done.

Collecting those numbers just to project the percentage is really a tough task, so far there's no available information about this.

There are lots of factors given that there are lots of available projects around this industry, you have to focus and spend lots of time to get something
decent with this topic.

DYOR is the most fundamental method of investing.
Is a must to have it in order to verify the market movement, if you work on it more deeper the knowledge that you'll going to gain will give you

good advantage from this business.

Quote
Also, if you can, don't be interested in pump dump coins, it will end up costing you.
Unless you are willing to take the risk, but while learning the market taking solid projects in your list is far better than playing with pump and dump assets.

Quote
always check the use case of a project to ensure that the project you are investing in is indeed worthy of being a source of profit.
This is very important plus make sure being updated to all the developments coming from the project legit administrators.

Those who make a lot of money legally would think twice before rigging a game. That's why only low level games are rigged sometimes nowadays, but rigging high level games doesn't make any sense. Honesty has become profitable, and that's a very good thing.
VisMin Cup and the leage behind it isn't that low level kind of game. It's just that the management is full of corruption, that's why there is a rigging happening. Honesty is profitable but it isn't as profitable as dishonesty and corruption, the money that you get from it is really something.
The rigging and the corruption will not just happen in the low-level games because, in a high-level game, those things can happen without us know for sure, especially if many people contribute to that games.
People who often commit corruption will not think of being honest because they feel comfortable doing that thing many times and will not stop before getting caught.
Even if they get caught, they will not feel guilty for doing corruption because they do not have a shame to the public.
Being honest is hard, but that is worth it to do.

They will not feel that as they are ready to any consequence the moment they participate with such kind of activities,.

Those people who engage themselves from rigging games are desperate to earned in a much quicker ways, there are many events that rumors spread

with small and big leagues, but due to the process rumors remain as it is, unlike now where evidence and actions
coming from the organizers really take charges.
3557  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Dogecoin overpriced? on: May 04, 2021, 05:44:47 PM
the current price is too expensive for dogecoin in my opinion. Dogecoin should be bought at a much lower level and sold at this price.
$0,44 is too expensive, mate? (current price)
I don't think it is too expensive, it is okay with that price. But surely it is not a cheap price anymore for a Dogecoin price. It is a bit difficult to determine what price that deserves for a Dogecoin, it is valued based on how much demand on the market. Even it is a meme coin but if many demands on the market, it naturally increases its price. However, be careful of the risks, the price can decrease severely if there will be fewer demands in the future.



The value depends from how investors wanted to pushed it, right now we are witnessing more pumped.

~snip
Well said, we have to take responsibility of our action, saying that it's our fate everytime we loss is an stupid excuse, with that as our mentality, we will never learn or will not enjoy gambling because all we experience are just mostly loses.

Understand the risk and reward is necessary as that is the basis of our action, if we think we have less chance, then we should not take it seriously, instead gamble for fun as we consider that gambling platform as a luck based gambling platform only.
Besides understanding the risk and reward, we also have to understand our true self, be aware of our behavior on certain things because self-awareness is helpful so you can further prevent yourself from spiraling out of control when you are gambling.

Self awareness control you in anyhow, it will prevent you from overspending both time
and money while you are engage to this activities.

It's very important to know  yourself and to limit everything, if you have wider knowledge about every possibilities,
your chance of succeeding is high and the chance of busting your money is much lesser.

Your action should always according to how you percept every outcome and not by following your emotions.
3560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: May 04, 2021, 04:35:40 PM
Gambling doesn't hook me that easilly though I have to be quite alert with phone and social media, if I'm not disciplined I could spend hours on the screen...
Usually most gamblers getting hooked because of long lasting boredom so if you are having any other alternative entertaining resources then the possibility of getting into gambling screen for more hours will get reduced significantly. People are getting stuck with gambling because of they are finding it interesting; if you are deviating your focus into something else then you can escape from gambling very easily.

When we are conscious about having limit on of our each of entertainment things, then we can easily limit everything given that we need to have multiple entertaining resources.

it probably has a lot to do with propension for dopamine addiction
genetic definitely plays a role here but life choices/conditions too of course.

but I could bet that there are a lot of people from varied backgrounds gambling and not only people who are bored.

You can direct your way if you have good control of yourself, it's hard to get addicted but it's only you who can prevent from going deeper.
There are factors that we also consider since gambling is there and anyone can participate according to his will, it's a best practice to have good
control with your emotions,

it's saving you from losing more and letting you to avoid making huge mistake with this kind of activities.
