That's very safe, what's the odds for -4.5? did you get it before Westbrook's announcement that he won't be available in this game?

Actually the line moved again, it's already -10.5 at 1.85 odds only.

I probably got in after the announcement. I placed the bet a couple of minutes after stadus posted it. It's the 4th and final quarter and Heat are still in the lead with about 16 points. I'm not so sure that Wizards can close it so I want to assume that my bet will be won.

So far, it's Wizards 94 - 110 Heats

Like what Reid said the last shot was count and Heat only got 4  points lead unable to cover the handicap.

Sorry to say that Wizard did managed to keep the game close though even they don't have enough time to try pushing it for the win,
but they've overscore Heat at the final quarter, better luck next time just need to move forward and try to analyze upcoming available games.



There's always next time, getting my rest today but I'm looking still at this thread. By the way, games between Celtcis and Heat was postponed.

They will be back soon, they might miss some games but if they are healthy most of the regular season, I think they'll be a tough competitor in the playoffs. Sixers had a good start under Doc Rivers, I'm feeling so positive for them this season, they might be in the NBA Finals as they have the talent and a great coach.
Oh, I was not updated with the trade. So Embid is already at team sixers. Well, he has shown and done well at Milwakee and I think it is better for him to try another team that might fit him in or could make a lot of help from other players especially in crucial gamed and time play. Embid was one of the great players in the basket after other superstar players like Lebron. Hopefully he will be able to get what he want this season like getting a  championship game.

He was never traded, he is a franchise player of the sixers, he played with this team from 2016-2017 season until now.

you can see his record in https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/embiijo01.html

There are also gamblers that had a profit even they are playing for a long period of time in luck based games.

I'm thinking what's the house edge for the games you are talking?
The higher the house edge, the more the risk of losing soon will be experience, and I would say it will just a matter of time before someone really lose his money in a luck based type of games, if you want to win in this game, go big and don't gamble longer.

Well I am seeing a lot of accounts online with a lot of bet in their histories and their summaries have their profits on it. I don't know his entire gambling history but based on his account's history, he had a profit. It is dice game by the way.
But Dice game is one of the most difficult game to win in my honest opinion, this game has been my favorite but most time unable to win and among all am at loss presently base on my calculations, does those guys use any sort of AI to game the system or just luck as usual?
There's no strategy that could beat the house when you are playing a dice, the only way to beat the house is to cheat their system. Dice has a house edge, even at 1% or below, it's still an advantage and they will win in the long run, their formula to be successful is just to limit some bets so they're bankroll will stay alive.

This fight seemed not a big one, there's not betting odds until now and there's few news about this. I'm not sure if it will generate a good amount of money, but probably this is not a big fight for Broner, his biggest fights I believe are his last 3 fights.
3745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 10, 2021, 11:19:08 AM
Sorry for those who bet @Heat -4.5.  Cry
The last follow-up shot from Brown Jr. was counted. That sucks.
They got a good run at the 4th and I really thought they can still make it to at least tie the game.
Coach Spo made sure Wizards won't have that chance, putting back his stars at the last minutes of the game.


I lose my bet, no chance.  Grin

Anyway, I think I'll have one day rest, I was consistent betting in the last few days, I'll have at least one day rest and enjoy my little winning, means, I have no pick for tomorrow. Good luck on your pick guys!
3746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Broner vs Campa Feb 13 on: January 09, 2021, 10:51:36 PM
I don't even like boxers who talk out loud / badly before a match,perhaps a press blackout is better, it will be a difficult match but i think Campa has a chance to win if the odds are high enough i think I'll make a substantial bet on him

Trash talkers will always be there as these boxers thought that they can get attention from doing so. But I agree that a lot of people are getting annoyed with this kind of boxer. Anyway, that's their strategy to sell their fight. Better bet on their opponent, I guess.  Tongue

That's the main reason why we love to see Broner fight, he is a trash talker and therefore we back on his opponent. Grin
I can already see the outcome here, if Broner lose again, I'm not sure if he can still have a decent fight.

"THE PROBLEM" now have a big problem.

Suppose to be he is giving a problem to his opponent, but now he is the problem. lol.
Broner needs to stop talking and start winning, that's what he should do, period.

I searched about the betting odds of the fight but can't see one, anyone knows what's the betting odds?
3747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 09, 2021, 10:37:32 PM
My pick for today.

Miami Heat vs Washington Wizards.

Still going to back Miami Heat here, I think Westbrook is out due to injury so I'm think a blowout win by Miami here is possible.
Also, Wizards are on a back to back game, while Miami is fresh trying to bounce back after a loss.

Miami Heat -7 .. Good luck everyone!

Ethereum is a little bit overpriced right now. I think price should be somewhere between $500 and $1000.
I beg to disagree buddy. We cannot really say if the value of a particular coin is overpriced or not because the value of the coins always depends on how good or bad the movements or circulation. It is just like the real currency, if the economy goes down also the currency value goes down. It means that we have a great economy right now in crypto which is why eth, btc and most of the coins are going up.
Actually it's based on how individual sees it, as long as the coin is legit, it's price could rise more and we never know if it's undervalued or overvalued since it has a fix supply with a possible changes in demand. So for ETH now, price has increased, it could be undervalued or overvalued, both are right as it depends on a lot of factors.

LaMelo had an amazing game tonight and helped beat his brother Lonzo’s team while nearly putting up a triple double. One assist short, but it was clear he had the best stats of the game. I almost can’t believe what I’m seeing. I didn’t expect he would be so good but here we are.

Just 1 short in assist to get a triple double, I call it the games today was the games for the underdog, majority of the dogs covered and some even win straight up. His brother Lonzo does not have a good night. Sad
3750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: January 09, 2021, 05:45:03 AM
Out of all the games tonight I lile 4 of them:

Detroit at home +8
Knicks at home (now) -2.5
Golden state at home +6.5 (think gs played them tough before this one im considering a ML with real nice odds)
Sacramento at home +5

Heavy on the first three, less on sac.  Thoughts??

I also like the knicks game under 211.5

Riding my homerism  Cheesy

3-2 tonight.

Starting tonight will make 5 picks a night and see how this goes for 2 weeks.  Will make all even bets, minus vig will see how this goes.

Starting tonight am 3-2.  Tomorrow is another day Smiley

Congrats on that win man, I'm glad to see you are posting your picks here, we will win together with good picks posted in here.

I won my bet too, I'm happy with one win at a time.  Grin
3751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 08, 2021, 12:50:56 PM
Therefore my pick is : JAZZ +6

I'm betting on the moneyline as well. I got 3.09 on Jazz winning on the road.

I guess that's a good odds considering Jazz is a playoff team too and they are healthy so far.

That's even better, I am also thinking that they could win in this game but I would stick with the handicap, 6 points is too much for Bucks to cover from a desperate team who are looking for a win.
3752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 08, 2021, 12:12:45 PM
Thank you guys!



My advance pick again.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Utah Jazz.

Bucks on  3 win streak but those are against a bad team, 2 against the Detroit and 1 against the Bulls. Utah Jazz is not a bad team though they are in a 2 losing steak, I think Jazz will play harder here and try to break that streak.

Therefore my pick is : JAZZ +6

Good luck everyone!
3753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 07, 2021, 11:03:08 PM
I'm even yesterday, my bet on the Heat did not won, just too bad the game was so close, anyway, that's normal in betting, you win or lose.  Grin



My pick for today.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Memphis Grizzlies.

Under 209.. Good luck Everyone!
3754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 06, 2021, 11:40:19 AM
Another advance pick.

Game ; Celtics vs Heat.

I'm a fan of the Heat everytime they face the Celtics, I have a feeling that coach spo knows how to beat the Celtics, just like what they did in the playoffs.
Therefore my bet is on the Miami Heat -2.5 and I live the under 218 in this game.

Good luck!
3755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 05, 2021, 11:55:21 AM
I thought I'm gonna take a break now, luckily I won my bet on the Mavericks.

That was a good win for me, close but looks easy.

Okay, Let's do this again. My bet for tomorrow.

LA Lakers vs Memphis Grizz

UNDER 218. GL!

I still see many people being puzzled by BTC, saying it's a bubble, that it's going to crash, etc...
Taking advantage of the huge price rise, I think some early believers should team and buy an existing bank. Not Barclays, nor JP Morgan of course, but there are small banks out there. Imagine a bank owned by bitcoiners, for bitcoiners. It would become an exchange, and it would be the best exchange in the world with the full ability to make Swift and SEPA transfers without the need to use the service of a third party.


Nice plan, but let's make it realistic.. everything relies on the approval of the regulators, you can't run a banking institution without following the guidelines of the regulators, hence, you should no deviate with the standard that is being adopted by the banks, regardless of their size.

Depends on the person who handle the risk, but true, gambling is too risky compared to the risk we are taking in our daily living, and of course if you are a gambler, the risk associated to it is just part of the risk in your daily living, may it be in work, business, and even with marriage, everything has a risk.

However, in order to fully understand the risk in gambling, we should not mix up with our real life activities, let's focus on gambling here to make the conversation more specific.

It is right. The risk in our daily living will give us two results in the future, which will bring good things if we realize. But the risk in gambling can make our money will be lost and our life will also ruin. If we relate to our life, we are a gambler with a risk from every decision we take. The risk will be different from gambling than to our life, and we should realize that the risk.

You don't believe you can win in gambling?  The risk is always here, either we loss enough or we loss more, that depends on how we handle ourselves in gambling. Anyway, let's talk about sports arbitrage, and I would stick to my comment that sports arbitrage is not easy, you need to work for it, you need to have the equipment and the formula in order to find success in doing this.
No other formula that I've seen in gambling in order to win is just to have luck. Many gamblers had try tools, machines, and study on what way we have to increase our winning percentage but I don't think that they have found one.
People had come into gambling even though they know that they possibly lose and lose more but this will not stop them to gamble, they are hoping that someday they will be paid off and get the prize.

I respect your opinion, but if you will always believe that luck will only give you a win, then your gambling is gonna be boring.

What I mean is you will not challenge yourself, you just trust your instinct and that's it, for me, that's boring, I love to be challenge that's why I picked sports betting as my game and analyzing the games makes me fulfilled especially if my bet would win.

Fair announcement, this is a good warning so everyone will stay away from this site.
You know better because you had promoted the campaign before.

I'm just wondering why they don't have a scam accusations in this forum?


Yes I'm quite schoked that I have to do this for a project I worked for, after supporting the project for so long and doing their campaign that they would decide to scam me of what's now worth 7000 USD, they must be desperate for money. But at least, even if I never get back my money, I will have prevented them to steal others.

I will try to make a scam accusation myself ( not sure of the process yet, never had to do that)

You can use the scam report format seen in this thread ; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

you can also post in this board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0.. maybe we will see more users who are also scam by the site or project.

Thanks I posted there. I'm gonna make a report too

Already saw it posted, thanks for making the community aware of this problem, let's see how the community react to your scam accusation.

I'm watching the thread.
