As far as I know there are still some brooklyn backs, glowies and the never found silver mini x  and a few red mini x still in the wild.  Good luck to all my treasure hunting friends.  I think the rainbow printing plate collection will end up at a well known auction house in the several million dollar range

Not to pump the brakes but several million dollar range is a little high.  The highest nba/nfl/baseball cards barely ever fetch over a milly.  I know these are unique and have their place in history but these aren't going to surpass every other card in history quite yet.

Anyone betting on the Lakers vs Bulls?

I got the Bulls to win here, Lakers are +1 at home, so I'll take that as the Bulls are the better team although they are in a back to back game. Conssitency is very important for me and I believe with DeRozan and Lavine's consistency, they'll be able to give the Lakers a big problem this game. Also betting live in case Lakers will start strong because Bulls knows how to come back with their own rally.

Yeah I'm taking the bulls on this one too.  I like the bulls, knicks -3.5, and the Cavs ML here.  I don't know what the over under for the Knicks game is but I'm thinking it's going to be a low scoring game. This had a couple days to get up under the Knicks after a couple losses.  Think they come out fighting tonight.

3 out of 4 last night with the Knicks covering and hitting that under.  Only gave up 10 points in the 4th quarter to the pacers, they locked them down.  And the bulls was easy money, Lakers stink.  Westbrook might be more of an addition by subtraction at this point.  He needs to facilitate, dude can't be their scoring option.  Until coach steps in and changes something I'm betting against the Lakers every night.

^^ It's possible that Porter could suffer a flash knock down, just like in the Spence fight.

But maybe it will be because he is very tired and fatigue in this fight. He is throws a lot of punches in his every fight, but I don't think that Crawford can put a ko punch on Porter here. Both of them have a tough chin, so this could go to distance. And maybe the knock down could spell the difference on who is going to win in this fight.

Yeah Porter can definately take some lunches but Crawford throws a stiff straight arm jab and if he connects on a combo with Porter getting himself too far in he will knock him out.  But hey Porter connects on an early flurry and this can go sideways quick.  My money is on Crawford with a ko/tko on this one though.
3584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 16, 2021, 12:33:42 AM
but on the other hand what you say is true it is not easy to cure the retinal surgery that he did a few months ago. because this must be healed first and really healed because this is something important and so as not to cause things that are not wanted.
despite all that Thurman now still likes an ordinary life off the pitch.
actually I really want him to hurry up to fight again but it's possible he still wants to relax in his private life.

Just think about this, doctors are not going to clear Spence to fight if his eye is not fully healed 100%.

They won't simply allow him to box, simply as that. But if the healing process is so fast and that the doctors say no problem whatsoever they he is clear to fight, Crawford or Thurman.

But first we have to see what will be the result of this fight first. There's too much at stake for Crawford here, if he losses then all of his plan as put to drain.
I myself am optimistic about Crawford's victory actually because statistically he is superior in various aspects but experience is indeed on Porter's side here. I'm not moving though and I'd like to see Crawford on track to victory and ready to head towards a unified welterweight spence.
On the other hand, Spence has indeed been able to compete and the doctor has said that he is free and 100 percent cured but I think there will still be a slight difference that Spence will receive after this operation.
As optimistic as the bookie because he is currently-590 moneyline to win this fight, or let's say he is the heavy favorite to win.
https://edge.twinspires.com/boxing/crawford-vs-porter-betting-odds-preview-pick-nov-20/

He will likely win this fight but I like to see him respond to a tough challenger who knows nothing but attacks his opponent and bully his way.
Crawford has to find a way to counter Porter very well as he is quick and for sure he can find a timing to through a clean counter punch.


I think this is a great matchup for Crawford.  He is good at taking opponents aggressiveness and make it an advantage for him.  Porter just better hope he doesn't do him in.  I see Crawford putting Porter on the floor with a counter flurry.  Can't wait for the fight Crawford is one of my favorite boxers to watch right now.

I was also surprised to see the Nuggets having it's own winning streak silently. After the MPJ injury and the Jokic incident, it seems that the team are now back on track. West is really very unpredictable, no one has the clear path at the top.
Denver Nuggets had a sizable victory against the Blazzers and several Denver players managed to score over 2 figures and Jokic almost scored a triple double.

Let's see how the Nuggets behave going forward, as you said @btc_angela, the west is literally unpredictable!!

Yeah the nugs should be fine and a big player in the west all season. And I can't agree more, the west is completely up in the air.  I've been most impressed with the Jazz and GS so far.  Will be interesting once klay is available again and how effective he will be will go a long way to understanding how good gs will be this year.  Calling it now I can see the Lakers maybe...maybe winning one series.  They aren't built to beat a team like the jazz.

Ncaa basketball is so much more pure basketball then the NBA.  I use a local site for my ncaa bets so not sure but most big players should offer it.
I like word that you picked to describe NCAA basketball - pure. It's so much different from NBA, that's actually difficult to compare these leagues.
And yeah, I figured out where to make bets for NCAA.Most fiat and crypto bookmakers offereing it, but when I made previous post, I simply failed to find it.

I only follow NCAA matches when there's a hyped player that is likely to be drafted in NBA e.g Zion Williamson etc.
For these who follow this tournament more closely, maybe share players to follow this season. Do we have big prospects who can turn into firsttier superstar?

Yeah Banchero on Duke is absolutely insane dude is a freshman and looks like he has been playing college ball for years.  Incredibly smooth at 6'10" and can handle like Durant at that size.  Kid should be a top 3 pick in next year's draft.  The 7 footer from gonzago is awesome too he will be a top 3 pick too.  With that being said:

1-1 on my picks last night.  Gonzaga hit against a tough Texas team and Duke came up short giving 23
3588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021-22 NCAA mens basketball thread on: November 13, 2021, 11:52:15 PM
I think we don't have another thread about NCAA basketball. Personally, I'm not following NCAA closely, usually I turn it on just on March Madness.
I like NCAA basketball because it's less based on individual players talent like in NBA, coaches have bigger role here. And atmosphere is better here because people come here to support their team, not eat burgers.
But with 30 seconds for attack game flow is slow and sometimes level of it don't look good. You need to know what to watch. Here you can't turn turn on random game and get excitement like in NBA or Euroleague.
BTW, which fiat or crypto bookmaker have lines for NCAA basketball? I only can find lines for NCAA American football...

Ncaa basketball is so much more pure basketball then the NBA.  I use a local site for my ncaa bets so not sure but most big players should offer it.

Picks for tonight:

Duke -23. (Duke is my pick for the Champs they are crazy strong)
Gonzaga -7.  Will be a tough game for them but will throw a flyer on them.
3589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 13, 2021, 11:49:52 PM
2 picks for tonight.  Memphis -3.5 on the road against the person.  With zion out I don't see how the person can end this skid.  And my second one is the Wizards-4.5 on the road against Orlando.  Orlando is young and gonna lose a lot of games home or away, like the Wizards with Beal just being too much with no one on Orlando good enough to slow him down.  Good luck tonight everyone!

None.  How long do jokes exist?  They stay as long as they get a laugh and when it's all used up it disappears forever, that's exactly what will happen to all these meme coins.  They serve zero purpose, they exist to be pump toys for whales to get more bitcoin.

There are (as of  now) 14029 cryptocurrencies listed in coinmarketcap.com.
A case has been made (repeatedly) for  the existence of a bubble in the cryptocurrency market.
Yeah, I understand cryptocurrencies are volatile, high risk investments. But, are you guys expecting a market crash anytime soon?

Well yeah but just how soon no one knows.  No market goes up on a linear line there are bull and bears in every market.  And the crypto market won't escape that, it's just the way it is.  Keep your head down, keep DCAing in when you can and keep stacking sats.  In the end you will win.

My picks for today's game:

Cleaveland Cavaliers VS Washington Wizards

Orlando Magic VSBrooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Detroit Piston

New York Knicks VS Milwaukee Bucks

Phoenix Suns VS Portland Trailblazer

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves



I think it is not a bad thing and I think my picks are improving or maybe just dumb luck, but after looking and analyzing teams on their previous matches, their injury reports, suspensions, and the odds that is when I come up with my picks, and right now I have

Won with the Wizards
Lost with the Rockets
Won with Bucks
Won with Suns
Won with the Warriors

I can say I with only 1 losing bet I have slept real tight yesterday and moving forward I will continue with sharing picks that I think may win, here goes,

Charlotte Hornets VS New York Nicks

Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Detroit Piston

New Orleans Pelicans VS Brooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Portland Trailblazer

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns

Golden State Warriors VS Chicago Bulls

Quick picks and will be leaving it here, sorry no analysis, because I am pretty lazy right now.




I actually like the cavs over Detroit in that one.  Cavs are playing real competitive and Detroit has some young guys still getting their feet wet.  Also as much as I like golden state , they are playing a red hot bulls team.  I'd rather just watch that instead of bet it.  And I like the Nets to, New Orleans is spiraling.  Good luck with your bets tomorrow.
3595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 11, 2021, 04:43:07 PM
Here's my pick.

Game: Boston vs Raptors.

I was looking at the stats and I was surprised that Boston has not won a game at home, they are 0-3 so far. Therefore I like to back them tonight to win against the Raptors who are 4-0 on the road. I expect an effort of Boston to get their first home win and hopefully, they'll cover the spread.

Bet : BOSTON -3

Got another big win again, and here's my early pick.

Game : Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz.

Jazz still undefeated at home but I think +9 handicap for the Pacers is too much. This is the 4th road game of the Pacers, of the last 3, they only won 1 game but two of their loses are by 3 points and 4 points only, so +9 is a value for me therefore I'm taking the Pacers here and probably a little bet on the ML.

Good luck!

I'm on the other side.  Between the Jazz and GS they are so strong.  Any game at home under 10 points is a good bet to me.  Just watching the Jazz play I think they are the favorite to win the whole thing.  Inside and out they dominate.  I'm on the Jazz tonight.  Don't like the other 2 games.

I know a few of us managed to grab some of the Hobby Box's available this summer, but will you crack them open OR sell them now/later?
Does $3K-$4K sound like a good price compared to $20K for the X Hobby?  Tongue   I had a newbie to the Cryptocurrency card collecting arena say that the prices will go back down, recently...........we've watched it from day 1. There's been plenty of "Collectors" tell me that these cards would never be worth anything, they said that I was CRAZY!!! lol

Well most of these sell on eBay and the US is moving the tax goalposts on US folks starting next year.  Used to be able to sell up to $20k or 200 items before getting a 1099 tax form.  Now it's only going to be $600 before we get 1099s.  So on top of eBay fees ypu now are gonna get hit with income tax.  If anyone is on the fence of selling now might be a good time before the flip of the new year.


Good info here, I have been studying up on this also. What is interesting is Ebay will issue you the 1099 but it appears up to you to then disclose to IRS. It appears Ebay will not, but will cooperate with IRS if any documentation is requested of them. Agree next year appears messy….

Yep ebay flash sale end of year everyone trying to get in lasties.  Then actually eBay might become of sellers market and get better sales due to sellers drying up.  People will definately be discouraged from selling on eBay, etsy, etc.

And now it's time to pay for the brrrrrrrrrrrrr.!!!!!

^Morris brothers dirty plays should also be given some attention. It's not like this is the first time they hurt somebody or try to hurt them using cheap shots. That's an intentional foul but Morris went overboard using his elbow and knees. The same goes for Jokic fighting back, he could just push Morris first and let him fight face to face.
Nuggets will be up to Pacers today. I don't know how they can put a good game without their star and then MPJ is still out too.

But my bets will not be for them. I know the Nets will try to bounce back after a bad defeat against the Bulls. They had their rest too.
Nets -6.5 vs Magic Over 207.5. Good luck to everyone.



Yeah there isn't many games I like today but I do like the Nets.  I see them at -9 though where did you get them at -6.5?  The other game I like is golden state against the Wolves at -7.  Gotta ride the steph wave especially when they are home.  Funny to see Lakers giving 4 at home to the heat.  Looks like the lines finally caught up with reality.

Trying to see what I can play tonight and not seeing a ton I love either.  My Bulls have been doing a pretty good job this year so far in beating the spread.  They are currently -3.5 vs the Dallas Mavericks tonight and am considering taking some action on that.  I of course am a bit scared of Luka, that dude is just crazy good.  I am also seeing the Nets at -9.  Lakers should start to pick things up, but that is pretty crazy to see.

Yeah I might take the bulls in this too.  Dallas isn't deep and beyond Luka they are very average at best.  Bulls have a lot of options and think they match up well vs Dallas.  Stayimg away from the knick game, Bucks are definitely going to come in pissed after losing to them last week after being up 20+ points.

Tough lines today I might take a game or 2 but definately tough.  Jazz giving 12.5 on the road on a second night of a back to back.  I might actually take Orlando here.  I do like golden state -13 at home against Houston.  I think they route Houston at home.  And even though I'm a knicks fan giving 7.5 at home against Cleveland seems like a lot.  Cleveland has been tough all year.  Might take the cavs, and then hit the Knicks on a ML bet and try to nail the middle.

Hit the cavs and pushed the gs game.

As far as tonight I know the Knicks are on the back end of a back to back, but embid just popped out for testing positive to covid.  Knicks -2 I really like here.  Don't know if the sixers have enough fire power to keep up with the Knicks.  I'm taking the Knicks and taking the under on the game, I expect a sloppy game tonight out of both teams.

Got a trifecta.  First knicks with another win!  Hit the spread and the over was 213, ended up 10-15 under the line.  Tonight its one game (at least for nba) that I like.  Jazz -8.5 at home playing the Hawks who are on game 2 of a road back to back.  This game could end up real ugly.  I kinda like the under on this one too buy just taking a stab at the line at 8.5.  Good luck to everyone!

Definitely, I like this pick, with all the struggles of the Hawks, I don't know if they can beat the Jazz here. Mitchell and company will probably dominate and beat them by a huge number. Since Clarkson struggles on the road, I hope to see him have a good game at home, dropping at least 20 points is good enough to help his team dominate the Hawks.

It's very clear that Hawks gassed out against the GSW, so what more they can give in this game when it's a back to back game for them. Most likely an easy win because fatigue is the main factor to consider why betting against the Hawks is a good idea.

I'm thinking the same thing.  Might actually tease the points up into double digits to get better odds.  I see 117-96 type of game.  Now that Trae isn't getting all those calls when he jumps sideways into defenders hawks are struggling.  And John Collins and capella are going to struggle with Rudy inside.  This is a bad matchup for the Hawks. (I say that and now the Jazz will throw up a stinker lol).

Little bit off 110-98 but pretty dang close.  Hit the spread and the Hawks lost.  As a knick fan couldn't have seen anything better Smiley

Was scared to bet the clips game.  I like the clips but no matter what I do I can't bet against Dame.  Always feels like he is gonna torch for 50 if I bet against him.  Wish he would just become a knick already lol.  Tomorrow is another night!
