Worse, you won't get out alive.

I think they have mistaken bitcoin with something else.
A lot does.
Feeding wrong information to people creates this kind of future for this great currency.
I'd rather use that 10 years doing something else rather than being locked up.

Their future could be criminals again once they got back to the street.

I fully agree with that. If fans of Dallas/Nuggets don't believe their teams can reach the final,then what's the point? You gotta believe in your team and hope for the best, that's part of being a fan.

Thank you Rikaflip for making that clear.  Grin
However lets be honest, ranking wise Lakers and Clippers are first seed and second seed, whereas Dallas is 7th seed, there is 11 GB difference between Lakers and Dallas and there is 5.5 GB difference between clippers and Dallas.
Ranking wise yes.
But where would those winners of bets for the 1st seed get their payment if no one will believe for an upset?  Grin

I am just saying, there is always a chance for everyone here.
It's the playoffs, there is no ranking when it happens. Everyone will do their best to win the 1st and 2nd round.

Way back in 2011, it happened that the number 1 seed was eliminated by the number 8 seed team, this would tell us that nothing is impossible.

Memphis Grizzlies eliminate No. 1-seeded San Antonio Spurs | NBA playoffs

I am on the brink to bring this up but thank you for doing it in advance.  Grin
Saved me the time for digging the grave.

Never heard of Yolodice before or i've probably seen their campaign in services section just cant remember it.
I dont like investing in gambling sites myself because it will probably be use for betting purposes, especially if the games are good and high paying.

Do you mean the drive to use it for gambling (you) or Yolodice using it for different purpose?

It's different at Yolodce.
You could see a lot of examples now with Yatsan and snipie.
High chance of your investment going green.

I don't have additional ideas honestly more than what the stats tell. I tried to invest in LTC as a test but since things are positive I kept my investment there and will see  Smiley
I just know it will also rely on the number of bettors in the corresponding coin they use.
Then, how many investors there is since there's a percentage for each amount.
3664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: June 23, 2020, 05:44:00 PM
Look I am not saying Denver or Dallas is bad teams but you guys have to be dreaming if you think Dallas versus Denver west finals is even possible. I do not think neither of them will go to finals, these are some other level of teams that you are talking about. Los Angeles will be the finals for sure, as long as teams are healthy it will definitely be Lakers versus Clippers, and even in a case where it is not both of them, we have Utah and Rockets that are waiting to take that spot as well.

So, for Denver and Dallas to be at west finals you have to eliminate Lakers, eliminate clipplers, eliminate Utah and eliminate Rockets. You are expecting awfully a lot from one team that never been to playoffs together and another that is basically 2-3 years in playoff adventure versus teams with multiple championship fmvp players.

We respect that you are a fan of the LA teams but we have our own respected teams to support too.

Dallas was once a champion too and if you look at their roster that year it was not that good.
An old Nowitzki, Kidd, Terry and Marion.
What team did they win against? Miami! Freaking strong Miami with Lebron, Wade and Bosh.

You cannot foretell the future. You might have the better odds but anything can happen in a basketball court.
Note: They do have playoff experiences.
3665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: June 23, 2020, 02:01:09 PM
Teams are getting ready to get back into shape. Would we see another D. Lillard scoring 50 point-game streak? Cheesy
We might.  Wink

He may only have limited minutes with the Dallas Mavericks but he is for sure very useful in the playoffs as he has a lot of experience in the playoffs already. I checked his stats and he has played in different teams already. I'm not sure but I think the highlights of his career was when he was playing with the Memphis when this team was still a good playoff contender.
True! We will still miss him.  Grin
I mean, he is still another good addition, especially on the defensive end. We know veterans, they are good at that when they are full of experiences.

The Jokic transformation is somewhat tempting and there's a possibility of dominance because of it but I'll doubt if ever will make it to the Finals same goes to Dallas team. I'm always rooting it's somehow the two LA teams will be the one that'll head to head on the finals and I'm rooting Clippers will ever make it.
More intrigued with his speed and agility.
Did he gain some of those during the lockdown period solo practices?
3666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Snipie's gambling investment test on: June 23, 2020, 11:36:41 AM
Lol, if OP loss his entire balance that means the site lose a lot of money, his investment is not even 1% of the total bankroll, so imagine how much the site lose if OP lose everything.
Yeah lol, losing all the investment means huge losses for everyone which needs more than a bunch of lucky whales. The max amount to bet is adjustable to prevent these situations tho.

Updated the table, my bitcoin investment is still red but better than the previous reddish days. My LTC is performing better + 0.00253876 in profit and + 0.5135 ROI in 6 days Smiley

Does LTC really have a better chance here?
I think bettors are using it more than BTC and Doge.
Maybe because of the fastest roll even with a lower bet?

I have been thinking to invest there too since there is not much movement with bitcoin investment.
What do you think?

No wonder it explodes early.
Both sides want to make a profit as fast as they could.

Developers should have a different view when it comes to their projects.
Profits should be less priority or for long term.
I have seen good projects before. The only problem is fewer supporters and investors.
It's way different now.
3668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: June 23, 2020, 07:25:18 AM
you can check the odds in https://nitrogensports.eu/sport/Basketball/NBA%20-%20Futures

It's also tempting me to take this odds now. What do you guys think?

I'm biased. My friends know that I'm a Dallas Maverick for a long-time so whatever the odds I'm placing a bet with them. Honestly, even at low odds playing around @0.3 to 0.4 I still picking them risking a decent amount to somehow feel the profit in return. I shared some of my bets here if I'm not mistaken. Of course, I'm doing it alongside my own analysis and not just simply placing a bet. During their championship season, they have a good record but they aren't even on the list of expected teams to become a champion that season. Not saying it will happen again but I'm just a biased lol.

So if I have to answer your question, YES "disregarding" those dominant teams.

But for the majority sports analyst, obviously, Mavericks isn't on their list to becomes a champion. I'm also with them but still, I will consider placing for the Mavericks Futures. So yeah, decision making will be based on your own view. Smiley


Well said, if we like the team, we can be bias and just like what you did, even knowing that Dallas has a pretty small chance based on experts analysis but you still back them, that's why makes it every exiting knowing that you also bet on your team while you are cheering them to win the competition.

Too early, maybe if they are in the playoffs, one series at a time, winning the first round might pump up the excitement more.

Indeed. I am also biased here.
Actually I am worse than that.
I am betting for 2 Western teams.  Grin
Denver and Dallas.
It is not about being fooled or about the odds. It is about support and being a pure fan.
Stats of Doncic could have soared but yeah it doesn't mean they will win the Finals.
But who knows? If suddenly Lakers and Clippers will have a consecutive bad night and Dallas and Denver will have good ones then it can be a win.
With little profits but a big smile.
3669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: June 22, 2020, 04:21:33 PM

One of the main reasons why Lebron wanted to play with other stars all his career, because if you are playing against just Lebron lead team with no other star, all you have to do is stop him, or slow him down. Hence why having Oladipo could be an amazing improvement or maybe wouldn't be that big of a deal.
It's either he will help or he will just hurt himself.
Better to just rest and use that time to recover fully especially mentally.
He is not that bad when he came back January IIRC, but you could still see the hesitation.
The memory of the injury is still there and he's trying to keep himself safe.
That is not the Oladipo that we knew.

As of other stars in high seeds that are going to play, I bet they will also control the minutes to avoid injuries.
This is the reason why they need to inform their teams.
Or else, they will not play the whole 8 games.

NBA is so generous, yes they won't be punished but fans would surely hate them if they will not play, especially if they are part of the team starters or a star/s in a team. There's been a lot of happening in the background, but the good thing is the NBA is very persistent in resuming the games.

Though we will just be watching at home, I still hope that for the fans, our favorite players will take part, as this is not just their personal interest, they also have to consider the fans who are vital as without the fans NBA would not be popular.

I think not.
Most of the fans might be thankful enough just to see the NBA being resumed and them/us watching it.

Some fans might just think players are avoiding to be infected by Covid-19 virus.
Others will say there is just so much happening in their country.
As for me, I am satisfied to just watch them play and can still keep themselves safe.

That is super cool.

I didn't imagine it could go way that far for 10 weeks without doing anything.
I hope I started earlier too.
There is not much risk since these gambling sites are trusted, specially Yolodice.  Wink

Looking forward to seeing more updates.
This will boost more of us into investing and playing in our supported gambling sites.

Optimistic news for Indiana Pacers and Victor Oladipo fans. There is a growing chance that this player will return this season. Everything will be clarified in the coming days. More: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29339816/pacers-victor-oladipo-ramp-activity-committing-restart
In my opinion, Indiana did unexpectedly well this season without their leader. When Oladipo returns to play, their chances for a good play-off result will increase even more. They also still have a chance for TOP 4 in the East at the end of the regular season. Of course, his form will be a great unknown, but in the current situation we can say this about every player.


Wait! He did play already after rehabilitation.
It was said in the article.  Grin
Before NBA shutdown.
Quote
Oladipo had his best game of the season -- 27 points against the Boston Celtics -- in his final performance prior to the March 11 shutdown of the season.

I think what they meant was they could put him in rest or make him play.
The safe side or the entertaining side.
Since they are on the 5th seed, there is nothing to worry about anymore.

Don't you think ERCs are useless, most new cryptos are only based on ERC Roll Eyes, but after that ?, It depends on the Ethereum network.
Ethereum is really a very interesting new technology for the future, but not the ERC, except the stablecoins exception which is really good when the market is suffering.
Doesn't have to end like that.
They can make a swap into a coin instead of being a token forever under Ethereum.
But this also diminishes the value since some investors won't waste time doing the swap.
There should be another way as long as the owner is active.

What do you think of the beginning of altcoins, fork we were all on the charm with a wow a new crypto which appears Cheesy, but now we lose the pleasure of discovering the new cryptos because the market is flooded Sad.
It's true and it's also sad.
Reading comprehension is out of the picture.
Why? We wasted so much time before with all the deep research for every altcoin created. Some of them are just duplicate with a small change in feature which is not inviting to buyers.

Is there no way to change your mind with options?

There is a lot out there and if you want to keep it for a long time then I propose a wallet that is not an online base or just a website.
Something which you will need installation and you could do it offline to increase security.
That way, you could also say you really own that bitcoin and not just a number which you see in an exchange.

They have given you choices above me.
But I do prefer Electrum which in my view is user-friendly.
Been using it for a long time and got no problem at all.

It is clear that the best conditions are not yet being given to resume sports activities in the USA. I was optimistic when the UFC resumed operations in May and thought it might turn out by following strict coronavirus prevention measures. But today it is a sign that the virus cannot be controlled at sporting events in this nation.

It's a different issue when it comes to contact sports.
They have different hobbies of touching each other without even noticing it.

At the end of the day, it’s not all about the entertainment brought by the NBA. The league’s decision to push through with the season is geared more towards the need of the people involved — the players, the teams’ staff, the employees — to keep earning a living, especially in these hard times.

I want sign up bonus and then the casino should be trusted.
But, if there is only one to choose then I'd pick the trust part. You cannot take that away because it comes from the root.
With online gambling websites, I prefer better UI.

The collapse of the sport in America seems to be on the horizon, a number of athletes have the coronavirus.
In the last 24 hours, Major League Soccer (MLS), National Football League (NFL), National Hockey League (NHL) and Baseball Major League (MLB) have recorded cases of coronavirus.
The MLS and NBA are especially wary because a lot of these new cases have happened in Florida where both professional leagues want to continue the season at Walt Disney World.
MLB club Philadelphia Phillies closed Clearwater Center in Florida after five players were positive, Toronto Blue Jays closed training center due to positive findings, while NHL team Tampa closed their arena after three players were positive at the coronavirus.
Dana White believes a second closure will occur.

This is what other players are worried about.
Even just one of them will be infected by the virus again then everything will be shut down without hesitation.

It doesn't matter where or whom it will come from.
Management, maintenance crew, cameraman, press... wherever or whoever it will be, everything will be affected.
I guess this is what they are trying to point out.
They all want to play, no doubt. But for what expense.

Safety measures should be strict.

Then, stable coins existed.
Because of that, the new normal is selling bitcoin for Tether or whatever stable coins you prefer then back to bitcoin.
Do it over and over and you make profits with the right timing.

You will get used to that when you try to visit an exchange.  Grin
