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.

If we just lose at once or two or three, that still manageable but if we find nothing has changed and the result still at loss, we better think to stop trading as this was not the right place for us. Quitting is not about we are giving up, it is just like we found out that trading is not for us and we don't need to force ourselves into this as we are certainly be losing again and again if we have to do it.
We decided to have the best and brighter future and deciding to leave trading is the smartest thing we did.
We failed in trading but who knows if we are good in the others. Just a need to find where we become comfortable.

Always and forever, I think.
That's all they've got in order to gain and attract investors that are willing to lose their money. They will be showing fake (huge) trading volume to catch attention but very unfortunate since most traders are already aware of their doings and such kind of awareness will help the entire community of stepping away from Yobit. That is why when hearing about Yobit, people will then think about scams.

Another great performance by Tim Hardaway Jr.

In Maverick's win against the Heat, Time scored 36 points, and most of the points are coming from 3 point area.
He made 10 shots on his 18 attempts, that was huge, if he can keep that up, Dallas would be so unpredictable as they are good 3 point shooters.

https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/boxscore/242776
He would be a game-changer in the playoffs and this would lessen the load and pressure to Luka since if Tim make shoots this will make the defense of the depender scramble on who to guard since they only prepare for Luka, and also make inside scoring easy because they have 2 shooters outside, I hope Tim will be consistent especially in the playoffs.

He will get the recognition if he will be consistent in the playoffs, it's his time to shine so he should do that. Although Luka is really exceptional I still believe that Mavericks is not a one-man team, they are successful because of their good teamwork, this team just needs to be healthy and they'll be a big threat to any team in the playoffs.
3607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 05, 2021, 10:31:11 AM
I thought that Casimero vs Inoue will happen this year, perhaps we need to wait till the covid-19 pandemic is over next year.
There's no rumor on that, the supposed to be the fight of Inoue and Casimero was already canceled, after that, they have their fights and have won them.
Yes, it was cancelled because of the pandemic, but Casimero did his part, he beat Micah.
On the part of Inoue, he won against Jason Moloney. So I think they will still collide in the future.


In the future, probably, but it looks like Bob Arum who is the promoter of Inoue is afraid of MP promotion's fighters. They were already announced, why it's canceled? Pandemic is just an excuse because there are fights that have happened during the pandemic, they can make it happen if they find a way.

Those who know and clearly understand Bitcoin is thinking of having this for a long-term investment, not only for the kid's future but for the entire family.

It founds no high risk doing this as its market value consistently growing yearly and that means if we are buying today and hold for 10 years, we are expecting a bigger value that we could think enough to sustain the needs of the family. And it is very important to start educating all family members about crypto for them also to understand.
3609  Other / Archival / Re: Everyone is following the same strategy on: May 04, 2021, 09:51:05 PM
About a few months ago, I learned some Japanese candlesticks for cryptocurrency trading. And there are some shapes when they happen that mean that there is a rise, ie: Buy. And some forms when they occur mean that there is a fall in the currency, ie: sell or hold. In the first case, you will buy, and if "everyone wants to profit" and everyone of course knows the rise, who is the dumb who will sell you this? In the second case, you want to sell, and also "everyone does not want to lose". Who is the dumb who would buy this from you? And with this logic, what are these shapes?

There is always something that happens naturally on a regular basis and causes regular results, but something happens based on "people's minds" (buy / sell), ie: it is erratic. So how will the results be regular (up / down)?

One thing you should always remember is the reality that Using the same candlestick or trading charts is not the same as following the same strategy with others; they are distinctively different. As traders, we all have different means of interpretation; and ofcourse knowledge, so even if we use the same platform to analyse trade charts, the method used to analyze the chart differs; likewise the interpretation too. So the true question are, what is your trading strategy? do you understand how to interpret charts correctly?
The same as we are individually different in what we think about the market. Just like to see that someone had lost in trading and someone wins, this could be enough to say that we are having our own trading strategy. And the fact that this is consistently be seeing around meaning that people had never changed and they keep their own way forever. That is what we called uniqueness and we are created of different instincts and levels of understanding.
3610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 04, 2021, 12:14:37 PM
@Luzin, Casimero has fought a lot of fighters with different styles, so the style of Rigondeaux is not new to him and for sure his camp has already prepared for it as he will surely want to defend his title. His biggest win in the last 5 years was a win against Tete, he was the underdog but he beat a taller and defensive Tete with his very careful strategy in the ring.
3611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 04, 2021, 11:48:08 AM
Here's my pick.

Game: Portland Trail Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks.

Both teams have 5-5 records in their last 10 games, however, Blazers might be a bit tired with their road trip and I think the Hawks could give them their first loss on this road trip. Therefore my pick is Hawks -2.5. good luck everyone.

I'll be taking the pick with you, but honestly I'm in agreement with Sled's view about the Over, It could be raining day.

Elsewhere I'll be be backing the Philadelphia 76ers -5.5 vs Chicago Bulls

The handicap won, congratulations to you guys, However, I think the total resulted in a push?

What was the line when you bet on the over? I see in the site I follow that the over/under is 237 and that is the exact score.
3612  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: holding is not an easy thing on: May 03, 2021, 09:34:44 PM
alot of people really want to hold but the daily needs of life make them sell off at little profit and solve their needs which is really good. but later they notice the coin they sold cheap is worth enough to liberate them. this kind of occurences are painful but its really not his fault. this brings me to the question of maybe holding is for the rich who can afford to buy and forget. ? lets discuss this, thank you.
Everyone has a different target for investment either short-term ( 1 year), and long-term investment (5 or more). I really don't know why but people are much more comfortable with a short-term deal, this might be because of the volatility of the market? Or they are badly in need of money that they need to pull out their money (this often happens to the poor people). And it can't deny that rich people would even willing to wait for many years holding as they don't have any problem financially unlike the others.

Hi!

Since the day i bought BTC from a portion of my savings. It's been great to see them grown over the years. But, i always wanted a tool that shows me realtime Bitcoin value as it swings from high to low and vice versa


Thus, I created a tool https://btcnow.live that updates the Bitcoin price from Binance exchange, every second in real time. It has been really helpful for me to keep an eye on the prices so sharing with the community if its helpful

thanks!
That is awesome. This is the result when you are so much committed to your job.
How is that possible to use it using our phone since we are not all the time facing the computer? So we can check it by ourselves.

But anyway, it was just only applicable when you are in full-time trading. I do checking my portfolio but not very often because I don't want also to be disappointed when the dumps come and seeing my portfolio in red.

It is a lot and somewhat you are holding these shitcoins. I wanna suggest to you to remove some of it and focus on the most profitable project.
We could say that it was your choice and you are right but just giving you some hint that it never makes sense holding those coins that have a little (or have no chance) to grow, and possibly it will becoming dead. It is better to diversify it to the leading coins in the market which might compensate you in the future unlike how these low-valued coins could bring.
3615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING POLL ADDED] FURY vs JOSHUA: A Two Fight Deal Has Already Been Signed !! on: May 01, 2021, 08:04:25 PM
News being leaked is the Fury vs Joshua fight might not go ahead. Bob Arum (promoter for Fury) said it is "dead in the water". Bob Arum already cast doubt on this fight going ahead asking why Hearn is being secretive about the location.

Finally, Eddie Hearn (promoter for Joshua) admitted today in an interview that if he cannot get the deal done by the end of next week Fury could have a blockbuster trilogy with Wilder and that would mean Joshua fighting mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk.

There is £200 million attacked to this fight so all parties should be making sure it takes place but Hearn is being secretive for reasons not yet known: Daily Mirror Sports Page

I thought it was already signed, now we are hearing bad news?

I was thinking that we are going to witness this fight soon, let me guess, is it again about the money?
For sure if they will get their expectations on financials, nothing would come as a problem in this fight.

Lots of good matchups this year that will not happen and they involve Bob Arum.

first, the Crawford vs Pacquiao which was recently off. now, this one.

That's very disappointing, we have already expected that fight this year due to the news that it's a done deal, but here we are again, back to the speculation stage on whether this fight will still have a chance or Fury these fighters will fight their respective opponents. I guess the most interesting to discuss if this fight really has no chance is Fury vs Wilder Trilogy.. Joshua's opponent is just boring. sorry about that.

If Perez could blend well with the team, they might improve.

He also has to remember that he is not only the star in this team, he maybe is the lone star in this previous team but SMB has a lot of star players, all the starters are star players and even some of the reserves. We haven't witnessed yet so let's see how SMB would play in the season to come.

If he can't then expect that he will be traded, SMB is a team now that has good chemistry, remember that Romeo wasn't that effective during his TNT days, but when he was traded to SMB, he helps the team to win a championship and even became a finals MVP.

I have no doubt of Perez's skills as a PBA player, he is a humble player so he will surely adapt to the team and will not act like a superstar. Just consider this reality, if Fajardo who is currently the best player in the PBA, has moved multiple championships and MVP still remains humble, how come a newcomer will act more than the Kraken.
He is not Ray Parks, so he will not make stupid things. Perez came from a poor family, work hard to be in the PBA, therefore he will not waste that opportunity, instead, he will continue to work hard to improve and be an asset to the team. There's a reason why SMB acquired him through trade if I'm not mistaken, so the expectation is really high from him.

Sometimes you could get away with a $1 fee, I remember few days ago the recommended fee from electrum was hovering somewhere at 15-20 sats/vB.
Lol I actually took advantage of that moment. It took like 30 hours tho, but who cares when you pay nothing for that. I paid like 20 cents for a $ 1k transaction. I really love this feature of Electrum like YOU will decide what fee you pay.
20 cents for a 1k $ transaction ? its crazy how you risk that large amount for a small fee . im not transacting 1k $ but i can pay 12 $ a fee because im afraid that if i wait longer the price will fall off  .
karl dont say anything with the btc fees but fees are hard to ignore because they increase together with the price of the btc .
fees are what pulling the gamblers to gamble and not the price of btc .
Yeah, paying $12 for the fee will not be a problem for sending $1k of bitcoin because we need to make sure the transaction can get confirmed quickly. I will do the same as you instead to use a small fee if I want to send more than $500 as I don't want to wait for a long time. Sometimes, we want to pay a low fee, but we don't realize how much money we want to send to the other wallet or exchange, so we need to adjust the fee to avoid a long time confirming the transaction.
There's no problem with that especially for high-stakes bettors as they usually bet huge money. $10 is just a small amount, the fact that we are taking the risk of price volatility and still using it in gambling, then $10 dollar should not hurt our wallet. Consider that as just a small fee if you are winning big time in gambling, even $100, I would not mind it if I'm winning like $1000 or more in gambling.
3618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 01, 2021, 05:14:53 PM
It's possible, no doubt about this.

Fernandez believes current SMB team should've won two, three grand slams by now

However, I believe it also depends on the health of June Mar Fajardo, if he is not healthy, SMB is just an ordinary team that any team has a chance of beating them, it's always been June Mar who is the key to their success.
Fajardo is a key player of SMB and without him, it will be hard for them to win a championship. Though every team are working hard to place on top, so there’s still no assurance for SMB to win a title even if Fajardo goes back on court. With regards to Fajardo, he’s still young and if he recovers I’m sure he’ll be more stronger.

There's no assurance but they have a higher chance of winning, but the condition is, Fajardo should be healthy and fully playing like a normal Fajardo. His injury keeps him sideline for long, and we don't know yet if he is still aggressive as he was before, so let's just hope for the best.

Yes, I agree that there's no assurance, but, don't forget guys that SMB now have Perez which I believe the scoring champ, and he will certainly do well with the SMB as he has better teammates compared to his previous team. I still think that they will win a championship though it's not easy this time.

If Perez could blend well with the team, they might improve.

He also has to remember that he is not only the star in this team, he maybe is the lone star in this previous team but SMB has a lot of star players, all the starters are star players and even some of the reserves. We haven't witness yet so let's see how SMB would play in the season to come.

Pelicans also wanting a spot, they'll be playing against the Wolves today and they could have a good chance of winning here. As of now, Pelicans needs to start winning if they want to have a chance, they are just 3 wins behind the Warriors.

Yeah right, if they wanted to chase that spot they need to play harder and win each games that they've got, though Warriors also trying to position chasing the 8th spot.

They are just a win away from the  Grizzlies, if they continue winning they are also capable to take that spot, those remaining games for this teams are very important, expect to see more amazing game from their stars.

Playoffs is really nearing and each franchise are trying to get their spots.

They are not one win away from Grizzlies, here's their respective record.

Grizzlies 32 wins 30 loses.
Pelicans 28 wins 35 loses.

This means there chances are low but not impossible. Let's just see what they can do.
3620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Elon Musk "Smart" Tweeting Continues! on: May 01, 2021, 04:28:09 AM
To me,  Musk is some sort of teenage genius. I have huge respect for him, maybe the only one person actually on earth that we will later compare to the greatest past inventors (Bell, Edison ...). On the other hand, I find his behavior in the field of cryptos is a little harmful.
Not really a harmful to crypto, he is just having fun looking for people who love him and follow what he says.
He was a genius inventor and an influential person, he could easily manipulate the innocent minds and fool them.

But anyway, Dogecoin holders are so much happy and from that simple tweets, it create a huge impact to the market price. Though we think Elon is benefiting this, we can't deny also that those who invest in Doge are benefiting as well.
