The problem with Game 1 on Meralco is bench production.
That probably is, looking at the rotation is most of the minutes allocated are only to their key players and the situation is those key players are exhausted with the minutes they spent on the court. I just read an article stating that this time around Game 2 wouldn't probably the same as Coach Norman Black will use his bench players more often but the probability that Durham is used as it was is likely a 100%, they can't win without him IMO.
The same with the Ginebra Kings, they can't win without Brownlee. (in the figure below, Ginebra looks to rely more on their import)
https://www.pba.ph/recap?match=1480250

The top 3 scorers for Meralco are the following :

Durham 25 points
Almazan 20 points
Newsome 24 points.

While for the kings

Brownlee 38 points
Aguilar 16 points
Tenorio 14 points

perhaps , the good news about it is emirex bounty can be a good start for a hope on this year. the project seems successfully ,almost 20x profit from ico price. the only problem about it is just about market who listed that token. coinsbit,vindax,coinlim , all of them just a creep exchange for me.
I think the bounty was already running when it was listed in the market, they are in the 2nd round bounty now.
With the amount of bounty they release which is less than $100,000, the exchange listed although they don't get much volume can still accommodate if people will dump.

based on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/emirex-token/markets/... total trading volume is over $200K,
I want to ask, is the bounty reward already distributed?

The Stock to Flow model shows that a few years later, Bitcoin would grow gradually to about 300 grand. There will be plenty of uncertainty between them, of course. Bakkt was a sales case of the news kind, but the trend is up in the long run. Old people are likely to grind up slowly as Bitcoin does.
I like this prediction, slowly is good because eventually there will be a bull market like what happened in the past, price would swing much but in overall it will result to a bull run and will again give us a positive surprise. People who hold much longer will certainly enjoy this kind of success because they'll  be able to dispose their btc with a good profit.

The price alts will probably approach ATH again when BTC goes to new highs. I'm rejected by some alts or teams that don't have the right support. And stop it.
I'm expecting the same, same with last time's trend, if BTC would reach a new ATH, so do the Altcoins.

Since the early news came out, i can't stop thinking about betting on this year's Slam Dunk Contest. Dwight practically for sure, Derrick Jones Jr for sure, Zach LaVine mulling and Trae Young encouraging The Vincanity himself. Whoah, it could be one that we will remember for decades.

Speaking of: Do you know where it would be possible to bet on SDC? Nitrogen always comes to my mind when im thinking about basketball crypto betting but other sites that can have this in their offer? What do you think?
That's a big event, for sure it will be available in different gambling sites.

try to check on the following sites when schedule is near, probably a day before.

https://www.playbetr.com/
sportbet.io
https://www.cloudbet.com/
https://www.betbtc.co/

these are just some of the good sites I could recommend.

One of the most popular games in the Philippines is basketball, and they make their organization that is the Philippines Basketball Association. One of the recent matches today is the Genebra versus Meralco. Many people support their different team bias, but the game is tough to predict because even genebra is one of the strongest team, the meralco can face the problem about that because even they looks like an underdog until they can face the enemy. Best them, they know they can win.
The genebra still conquer the game and win the first series of 91-87, and they already told that the game is hard against the mercalco but still the goal is to win against them.
This is a popular match up as this two already faced in finals 2 times already if I am not mistaken, and I want to correct you a bit, it's not genebra but Ginebra, and not mercalco but meralco, please double check your spelling before making a post as not everyone would get what you mean.

The series is a best of 7, if Meralco wins game 2, probably it could end up a long series.

I think it's a good year for cryptocurrency because it has experienced a very significant increase.
How about last year, did you still remember that btc even rise at $15k? but it didn't end up like what it looks to be a good year.
There was a little increase but that's it, not really an impressive year we figure.

Hoping that the long-standing bear market will end this year and the bull run will occur this year as the crypto community expects.
This is just the beginning but let's see if this will continue, hopefully what we are going to see it a slow but steady rise.

I'm more excited to see the retiring veteran play his last dunk contest. Oh damn, we're all getting old! I used to watch the dunk contest when I was younger and now, this is his last dunk contest.

I liked that too, but there should be 2 slamdunk contests one of the oldies and one of the usual one.
Excited for the upcoming all star, I hope they have more surprise this time like what we are not expecting.

You know who's my favorite personality in All star??

It's Kevin Hart, I hope the car accident does not take his will to play basketball, I love him in the show.

I have to carefully double check as most of the prediction below $12,000 were already, luckily this price below is still available.

11851-11900 (mine) - Thank you for this wonderful game OP.
3649  Economy / Speculation / Re: Now that we touched $8,000, what's next? on: January 07, 2020, 01:11:13 PM
That's a good news for all of us who are waiting for bitcoin to be bullish back again.

However, we can't be sure if it will continue to rise as it could fall back again like what happen in the past, this isn't new to us, the price is so unstable and we can't be too confident that we are going to the market that we are hoping.. honestly, I have a mix feeling now, quite hesitant due to the past price movement I witnessed but I just have to be happy because once again the entire marketcap is back at over $200 billion.
3650  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: fundraising question on: January 07, 2020, 12:58:20 PM

Every project is basically a start up company, they need to have an idea, the team to develop that idea and to find a way to present that idea to investors. Money is needed for everything, for the equipment, marketing, salaries, offices, all sort of workers, if there's no money enough project will fail at some point. Professionals or not, team members need to give their best on all fields if they wish to be successful one day.

ICO gives small investors a chance to invest in their idea and with that, there's always a risk and we call it a high risk kind of investing.
If we like big companies which has a better chance of success, then our chance to invest is also low because they already have private investors who are willing to fund them.

That's the reality, we need to gamble on a riskier way just to invest because we are just small investors.

Good match up that I would like to see..

Portland TrailBlazers vs Toronto raptors
*This is an even game for me, both are good teams.

Oklahoma Thunder vs Brooklyn nets
*both lose their last game, can the Thunder easily get a win against the weaky Nets?

Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns.
*suns once had a great start and I thought they will become a playoff team but lately they are back on the old ways.
3652  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2020 Bitcoin halving!!! Bull run??? on: January 06, 2020, 11:40:19 PM
Halving is coming soon but I'm not really confident that shows a bullish trend. May others are so optimistic about this but we also realize that the market is totally different from the past years. And yes,  we can't give assurance that it leads to having a positive response from the investors and may help to uplift the downfall trend. Cause everything may change and knows how the market behaves differently makes no way that halving will drive to be bullish. 

Previous halvings didn't have effects on the price right after the halving, only after some time, to be accurate 6+ months, we saw the the price rising. I think we will have similar situation this year, after the halving minimum 6 months is January 2021, it the time when bitcoin price will have some significant increase, everything before that will be classic volatility in this range where are we now, between 7 and 9 thousand dollars. I'm sure that next year we will see the price rising over 10k, but that will be just temporary.

To much expectation coming and people want to see some immediate increase since for sure they have lose more money from the unexpected long streak of bearish market and hopefully all of this predictions are right so that we have time to recover the loses we encounter for the past years, And I believe to many people get anxious by now since market still striking them down.

You know the reason why, don't you..

The market struggles for more or less 2 years and that's look enough for our expectation to recover but it's still not happening.
Now we have a chance with this halving HYPE, let's make it real and bring bitcoin back to the moon again.

I miss the MOON and HODL which was very popular way back, now.. most are just worries.
3653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you always invest in top ranked coins? on: January 06, 2020, 11:13:33 PM
yes, because they are the ones that get easily pump up when the market is on bullish mode.. and also it's not risky at all as we know the potential of those coins rather than investing to new ones
I agree with your view, when they dump,  they dump usually dump hard as well, so it's safe to say that they survive when the market struggle but you'll get rewarded more when the market is bullish as they usually pump and that would give us a bigger return for holding.

we should learn how to trust and be patient to benefit on holding top coins, they are bound for success, maybe not all of them but at least big portion of them.
3654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social experiments in the world of gambling on: January 06, 2020, 10:58:39 PM
Here's the proper mindset, if we are to give money back to someone who lost that money, we'll just pushing him to let that money be lost again, for sure it will not help him so we should consider other ways such as providing betting advice and to help him earn and control his money to not be bet all in all in gambling.
It's okay if he will stop gambling after we give him money but most gamblers does not think and do like that, if they have some money, they will still gamble again thinking they can win back all their loses, it's kind of an unrealistic mindset that will only push their to a more disastrous life ahead.

if we are a true friend or if we really care, we won't tolerate, let them learn from their mistake.
3655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Now that we are in 2020 on: January 03, 2020, 12:50:54 PM
We are in 2020 and we hope to see a good start of the market this year, this year we are hopeful that a bull run could come again due to many big events, one popular one for bitcoin is its halving and for altcoins, Libra launch?? i know some would disagree as they are against in Libra project.

But here's the question, if the market goes bullish and altcoins are pumping, do you think when there is an ICO, people are still going to invest?

personally I believe they will not because there an IEO already but I like to hear yours.
3656  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What Would Be Your 2020 Stand Out Crypto Investment ? on: January 03, 2020, 11:46:45 AM
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

What would be your stand out crypto investment for 2020.

An existing token or coin?
I would go with existing coin because IMO coin is stronger than a token, like what we have witness on ETH tokens, when ETH dump they all follow.


An upcoming ICO or IEO?

Have you seen something you are contemplating investing in? Let us share ideas and thoughts in this thread  Grin

No to ICO anymore, even if I like they won't succeed because people have found a safer platform, ICO is too risky and IEO is quite safer since it's done in exchange and less chance to get scam as long as we are participating in reputable exchange like Binance.
3657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 03, 2020, 09:45:48 AM

Almazan and Maliksi really contributed to the success of the bolts in this conference.
They should contribute more as they are playing in the finals against a big team, if they wan to win, they need to help Durham.

Though I have no trust with Quinto still he is a stellar back up guard. Now the bolts are well balanced team with veterans and young players, I think their chance of winning this championship is higher compared to the previous match up they have against Ginebra.
Bong Quinto's contribution to the success of the Bolts is big, I will not be surprise if he will get more minutes compared to veterans in the team.
He is young and hungry to win, so he could help a lot to the team.
3658  Economy / Speculation / Re: Moving away 2019 and looking forward for 2020. A Bullish or Still a bear season? on: January 03, 2020, 09:20:47 AM
I am very hopeful for this year, the start is good so far, so we should be positive too.

We were still optimistic despite the market for 2019 is not good compared to the last 2 years and the fact that we are still here, that shows how strong our faith in the crypto market is. Bitcoin has survive, it has fall and rise many times but it's still here, so it will not die since it was declared dead many times but they bounce back every time.

it;s like the market is design to move high and low and we should take all the opportunity to earn on that trend.

Buy the dip and sell the peak, we only differs on our target but we could all be profitable if we follow that simple principle.

NBA has released temporary results from the NBA All-Star Voting which has been going on for about a week. Keep in mind that this is only the first round and is not final, so all sequences can change later. So what do you think about the temporary results? Is the player you vote already on the list?
No questions asked for Lebron, Giannis and Luka.Its quite surprising on the top 3 guards votes on East which they are just too near to each other.  Cheesy
Luka Doncic has a greater number of votes than Harden and the number is quite significant. it's true that the top 3 guards in the East not too different in the number of votes. but in my opinion, Kyrie Irving will remain in the top 3 on East until the voting ends.

Trae young and Doncic were also rivals for the Rookie of the year award, and now they are leading in voting in their respective conference.
West are composed of experienced and most likely hall of famers players and the East are composed of young and hungry players, this should be fun to watch.

Tray young will likely to return against the Celtics, so it's good to see him healthy again.

3660  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will XRP repeat last 2017 bull run? on: January 03, 2020, 07:52:41 AM
XRP is a solid coin with a very good use-case. I'm confident that people will use XRP rather than just Ripple the company. And I do think we will see a new ATH for XRP, but 2020 is maybe too soon. I know that things can move quickly, particularly with this coin, but looking at where the price is now and what market confidence is like, I think it would take a lengthy sustained altcoin bull run before we can think about XRP passing even the $1 mark.
It could happen anytime soon, bitcoin is the only driving factor to cause a bull run for altcoins.
The last bull run of altcoins does not need a years to happen, IIRC, it only needed a quarter or less to start a bull run, and since it has happened in the past, that means it's not impossible it will happen again, like I said, let's wait for BTC to pump.
