The fact that he thought of ending his life, he must be in big trouble.

I lost big money in the past as well, but I never thought of ending my life, I can say that this person is weak, he should have stayed away from gambling so he will not ruin his life, all of what he did is just because of his mistake, he failed to manage the risk in gambling and he goes with his emotion.

In this case, I think he badly needs help, he has a disease now that can only be healed if he is willing to.

Hopefully this will not happen to our fellow gamblers here.

My pick.

Game: Jazz vs Warriors.

This is going to be an exciting game as the Warriors need a win here.
Jazz is still impressive even without Mitchell and Conley and I think they are the better team here.

Therefore my pick is Jazz -2 on the road. Good luck everyone!

I'm tailing this one, hope you start another winning streak mate.

Wizards without Beal vs Hawks, I think Atlanta can cover -7.5.

San Antonio vs Bucks line now is -6-5, still good for me though. Goodluck to all of us.


A crazy night you'd agree, yeah ? Spurs got completely out of control and they just couldn't stop.

Over to the game of the night, wow! Ever lost a bet, but felt like you just saw a great show for your money ? Jazz with this energy will still be the team to beat in the post season and if the odds should be worth I'll definitely be riding on the train.

Crazy night indeed, lost for me, but just part of the game.

I didn't watch the game, busy day, San Antonio though was a big surprised. Anyhow they are still fighting for a slot that's why they gave everything against the Bucks, 6 players with 19 or more to give that huge lead for the Spurs.

I'm not surprised actually, Spurs has been playing well against the Bucks this season, they may have lost last time but they cover on the spread.
As you can see, they are 1-1 this season.  https://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head_gl/bucks_vs_spurs_game_log_season.htm

What if the Spurs will upset a favorite in the playoffs? do you think they are capable of winning against the top teams?

I guess I'll continue to bet on the Spurs in their remaining games.

All I can say that many are wrong with their early prediction on BNB. Many of them thinking it was impossible but the current demand surprises us all seeing the price is over hype. We already surpass $100, $500, currently at $600 plus, and the next target will be at $1k. Has it become possible? The answer is definitely yes, but couldn't be just a quick jump, and probably not this time, that probably be happen in the next Bullrun.
3584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 08, 2021, 09:14:35 PM
I am for John Riel Casimero in this match. I would have easily chosen Guillermo Rigondeaux had this fight been staged during his peak. I was a fan of this guy's unbelievable speed even though I still find many of his fights a little boring. But he's an old man now.

The last time I saw Rigondeaux fight was when he was defeated by Loma. I know he scored a couple of knockout wins later on but I don't think he still got it. Casimero, on the other hand, is on a KO streak since 2018.
I want Casimero to win the match, although I am confident that he can win he is fighting a champion and anything can happen, I want the Casimero Inoue match to materialize and I know it will materialize at the right time, they both have promoters who want to make a big profit at the right time, the excitement of many fans will make both fighters a lot of money.

We will find it out soon, but for the moment, both fighters have to win whoever they will fight. The Casimero vs Inoue was scheduled before the covid-19, it was later postponed then cancelled due to the pandemic, therefore, our best chance of seeing this fight is when the pandemic is over.

Meanwhile, looks like have have some good news here.

PBA targeting June 15 opening, says Ginebra governor Alfrancis Chua

This is great news, finally, they have given a probable date on when PBA will start, Chua is influential in the PBA, he will not release a statement that is not probable, so let's be excited waiting for the season to start. They have over a month to sort everything so they can smoothly run a new season.

I might not be early to wake up tomorrow to tail with our extraordinary analysts here so I am putting one bet on the line.

Indiana Pacers versus Washington Wizards.
Wizards -3.5


This is a crucial game for both teams, however, I think Wizards is the better team here, so I'm with you.
Westbrook and Beal have shown their chemistry very well, and Hachimura has also been playing so well to contribute to the team.

it's time for Mr. Triple double to activate in a needed-to-win game. Good luck, tailing with your pick.

Is this coin already hype now?
. The coin seems very optimistic since market surge and altseason started, indeed still making good performance at this moment wherein despite that some of the alts in the market struggling again right now because of the constant change after the bump in the market and this one is still blooming in the market as i check it in cmc.. If this will continue doing good sign surely it will make more ATH soon in my opinion..
Let's see what will happen when bounty hunters will receive their rewards and start selling their coins. Because that will significantly test the project and see how potential it was. And just like you, I'm also looking to its positive side, not only because of the current market hypes but to believe that this project has the potential. It might not have a good start but the most important is that it will able to survive from the competition and stay longer in the market.
3588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You won today, but then you will lose often on: May 08, 2021, 03:22:03 PM
snip~
That is right. The end-user will need to have responsibility for their money if they want to gamble because if they lose their money, that will be their mistake. They need to know their limits and not try to break that to make them in trouble. So whenever they win, they need to stop gamble and do not continue playing for some rounds because that will not always win. Only we will know when we must stop and if we do not know about that, we can not prevent the loss and ruin our lives.
Good point, know your limits is what everyone should keep in mind when they gamble while they are winning or losing. And if someone wants to leave the casino with profit then they need to know when to stop as well even though the money is little its not too bad as going with empty pocket due to greed.

Most of the gamblers always wanted to earn before leaving the house, the problem is greed conquers them.

Instead of quitting while they still got something in their wallets, contentment issue as they'll go for more, thinking that they can add
more winnings while luck still beside them, not realizing that house knows how to play with your emotions the longer you stay the higher chances that you'll leave empty pocket.
These mentioned features were the reason why I believe gambling is not for everybody because everything that is said to be a game of chance doesn't guarantee the chance of winning or making money through but if we looking into gambling very well I think it somehow teaches us about the nature that ones can not always win in life we just have to bare the lost and be strong untill it sunny day.
I do believe that gambling is for everyone but not all seem to be lucky and could win. People had come into gambling for one reason and that to go home with money in their pocket but the reality is that most gamblers go home with nothing left. Gamblers who live in greediness and no sense of contentment are prone to this.
I have a lot of friends like this and it was normal seeing them to go home with an empty wallet.
3589  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin not yet at $100k, why? on: May 08, 2021, 02:37:56 PM
You just make yourself stressed if you are thinking that every prediction will have to happen.
If that we ask why it still not reached $100k, only Bitcoin could answer that. Because if that only happens that we are in control of the market price, it surely the price of Bitcoin is already there. But we are not, and nobody does.

I don't think it is bothering for us to see that the price of Bitcoin still below $70k even the demand is already high and many companies are adopting now. And this simply means that everything on crypto is not purely manipulated and the moment isn't yet to arrived. So we just be patient.
3590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: buying bitcoin and the seeming impossibility of keeping anonymous on: May 08, 2021, 02:14:20 PM
That soon to happen and we can't avoid that.
Because as we more engage online, using emails, social media accounts, the more we are exposing our personal identity to the public.
But the question is how important to keep anonymous? Does there is something we need to hide and don't want other people to know it? I understand about privacy but we are in a new era, no matter how careful we are, keeping ourselves out to know by others, leaks can't be prevented in some other ways, not just only in the crypto world.
3591  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW IMPORTANT IS STOP LOSS on: May 08, 2021, 08:26:35 AM
There is basically no certainty in trading, sometimes the price can rally for hours, but it can crash within a few minutes. therefore we need stop loss to anticipate unexpected movements, so that our capital remains safe. And don't forget to place your stop loss, don't be too short, but give room for the market to move
to short stop loss is risky to , market sometime absorb stop loss and we will easli liqiuidated. maybe long term investment doesnt need any stop loss, we were focus on developtment and should not look at price frequently like daily trading.
It finds no use to you since you are talking about investing but for us as a trader, you will never survive in here if you don't know about this strategy. Stop-loss has something of big help for the traders especially for part-time traders and it is somewhat a savior to possible big losses. But, it doesn't mean that we are still safe doing this, no, we are still in losing but at least we don't get into the point that we entirely lose our funds.

Maybe, if you are in trading, you can appreciate it. I hope you will.
3592  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Percent gains and losses on crypto on: May 07, 2021, 11:44:59 PM
The percentage of profit and loss in crypto will depend on the market if there is high demand in the market and you can understand the signals it is easy to understand the amount of profit. The market is constantly updated when it comes to trading the success of a trading platform depends on the trade spot of the expert traders on the platform and the ability to copy. Trading Platform It is possible for an expert trader to start trading and lose millions and millions of dollars and the next week but it is by no means to blame.
They can be in profit this time but not sure if they been the same story in the next few days. As the market will remain to its volatility, we can never assure that everything will be smooth and always in success. But, it is absolutely we will be having the gains and losses. If only that we have to record all of our trading histories, maybe we could find that we have more losses than what we earn. That could add frustration knowing that, isn't it?
3593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum on the rise: Sell or HODL? on: May 07, 2021, 11:09:54 PM
We absolutely see that ETH price keeps moving higher and higher even some say that many investors are jumping to BNB due to high fees but the effect is too different. No one is expecting this for sure. But I don't think could last for long, dumps will come next, and much better to anticipate that moment before it arrives. I don't want to lose this opportunity anymore so I definitely have to sell some, I think this will be the smartest thing to do rather than to keep holding. It was 2017 bullish reminds me everything about HODL and HODL which badly it ends regretting.
3594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for next 100x coins on: May 07, 2021, 10:42:18 PM
I currently hold quite a few coins which I think will 100x.
Some of these include:

HBAR
XRP
ADA
DIVI

Let me know any other suggestions Smiley Ty
I just to let you know that you are choosing the unfortunate coins in the market and aiming for 100x is hopeless. Because the truth is that, you can never find coins that could give you that this time since we are already in the ATH. Maybe you could find them during the bear season and then wait for the Bullrun but for now, you will just be going to fail to look at them.

I suggest to stop chasing coins that could give you such a thing but rather choosing coins that could really give you a sustainable market gain, not just only during the hype.

Phoenix is a strong contender with Vic Manuel in the roster but there is a big problem for the team now as Matthew Wright demanded a trade and if the management won't heed for his demand, he threatens to go back to the States for good.

Rumors had it the Magnolia is interested of Wrights service and they are planning to let go of Paul Lee and Jalalon.

Hope these are all just rumors and Wright will remain with Phoenix.
Sometimes, a rumor becomes a reality Cheesy. I still remember when there are rumors spreading regarding CStan-Greg trade and one year after, it happen Cheesy.

I'm just thinking of this rumor and if Magnolia will manage to get Wright then they will be a better team (Barroca, Wright, Abueva, Corpuz, Sangalang or Reavis at Center as their starting 5). They got Abueva and now they will get Wright (if this will happen). I'm thinking that he demanded for a trade because they traded Abueva which is a good addition to the team.

Jalalon is a game-changer, his energy on the floor is really outstanding, and since Magnolia is a defensive team, they need someone like Jalalon who plays with good hustle in the team. Paul Lee is aging too, I doubt Phoenix will allow their main exchange to be traded with Paul which is also having some injury problems lately.

What a show, it looks real but IMO that is just a show to market this fight. let's be realistic here, this fight was once postponed due to lack of support, but they came back to finalize the schedule, and since the fight is approaching, they needed this kind of marketing to get the attention of the fans.

Not me Floyd, this is a staged incident, and it will never change my belief.
3597  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency, now a fast rising trend! on: May 06, 2021, 10:58:16 PM
Like 2017 Bullrun, almost everyone is talking about crypto in a positive and full of hopes but as the market starts crashing, they'll be changing their minds and even think about the end of crypto. That particular scenario is also happening this time, more and more people had come in a positive way, thinking for easy money, and even without knowing about crypto, they just like jumping into the boat without a single knowledge of what they gonna do inside.

People are in FOMO and it was not a good idea. They are entering the market in hypes which is absolutely not the best time but that is their choice. I'll be expecting these people the first to step out once the market turns to bearish season.

Digitalization has already been a practice for several years but it was getting more popular when we have been hit by the killing virus Covid-19. It changes a lot and more and more people are adopting the system and not only the consumers did this but also some business establishments are offering such services to their clients. That sometimes I'll be thinking that Covid-19 has a huge influence on digitalization adoption, it happens that more transactions happening online but on the dark side, it makes millions of people being paralyzed and becoming jobless.

I got Wizards +2.5 @2.03 during live betting, I'm glad I did - win
Nice. You won better amount than me.

I really thought the Spurs would give their all against the Jazz but nah, when I saw the score at first half I didn't even mind changing channels and just watched the Wizards all the way. Then saw the news that Sacramento Kings also won. I'm glad.

This is so close but you won, congrats to you @Jating .. that was really a close game, and the Wizards were just outstanding recently as they were able to compete very well with any team. I saw the highlight, Teague had some dirty play on WB, It's a good thing it did not result in an injury.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAqQ2iC4KCY

What do you think?

Looks a bit intentional, but Westbrook wasn't able to fall on that foot, it's good for Westbrook as he is needed in the playoffs. Wizards on the number 10 spot, if they'll continue to win, they'll participate in the elimination which they always have a good chance.

Anyway, what about picks tomorrow?

Lakers vs Clippers.. will lakers upset the Clips here? Lebron is still out,  right?

PBA reminds everyone to follow safety protocols in bid to finally launch season

Quote
THE PBA has launched a social media campaign called #PBAItuloyAngLaban in an effort to help the government in its fight against COVID-19.

Commissioner Willie Marcial said the campaign aims to create awareness that the fight against COVID-19 is not yet over and encourage the public to practice safety protocols to prevent the spread of the virus in the country.

“Inilunsad natin ang #PBAItuloyAngLaban upang bigyan diin ang kahalagahan ng pagsunod nating lahat sa mga safety protocols na ipinatutupad ng gobyerno. Ito lang ang paraan upang mapababa natin ang pagkalat ng coronavirus,” said Marcial.

It's very important as one mistake could result to the stoppage of the season, we are in pandemic now and we want the PBA to launch, that's why players should be responsible here and think of the league rather than their personal interest.

There's not specific date yet, but I believe it will be soon.
