There are no professional or well-experienced high profile traders that can go against an unpredictable market. Yes, they can be exceptionally good with their skills and trading strategies but it cannot guarantee that they will keep winning on the market, or they will keep taking an edge over market’s volatility. That makes the market more risky to trade, and trading itself becomes riskier. Hence, we cannot tell that some can be excuse from losses because they have huge funds, or they are highly professional and high profile traders. Trading involves both winning and losing, and while others are profiting from their trades, some traders are expected to fail and lose their funds.

We will see the betting odds tomorrow. I checked with my bookie now, but I only see the odds for the "FIBA Americup Qualifiers." Perhaps this event is not so popular, which is why it's still not available. Let's be patient and wait until tomorrow. Hopefully, we can provide an update here, so those willing to bet but unable to find where to risk their money can get an idea.


It's a different coach, so we might see a different outcome in his performance. FIBA Asia isn't as competitive as the FIBA World Cup. Kai Sotto has played in different countries and on different leagues. I believe he has a lot to offer, but he hasn't been discovered or utilized to his full potential yet.



And as we look at his physical looks, he is still young. As long as he stays healthy, he will keep improving. The good thing for him is that he has been given a lot of opportunities to play in a competitive league. Now, with the FIBA Asia Qualifier, if he is up for a challenge, he will step up here.

That's how big the influence of a superstar like him is. He won't be called King James for no reason, so you've got to accept the reality that a player could dictate the management of a team, especially in deciding who to hire as a coach, especially with the quality of LeBron, who is a special player.

A team could hire a different coach, as there are many coaches out there. They can learn to improve their coaching skills, but a player like LeBron already possesses that talent since he was still young.

Let’s just accept that inflation is here to stay. And even if that is a job of the government to beat this inflation, it’s undeniable that we are the ones suffering the most. So asking for a minimum wage increase can help a lot to ease our sufferings financially and emotionally. That’s the least a government can do to help us even if we all know that inflation will stay for good probably.

I got your point. But we all know how people are easily influenced when they see VIP and notable women get engaged into a certain thing that they will try to follow the same thing especially if those influential women are already successful and profitable in their investments. So imagine if these public figures are into crypto, surely a lot of women will be curious about it and discover the potentials of crypto eventually. Yes, that would be unnecessary like what you’ve said since crypto is already becoming mainstream, but having these influential women around can help boost the promotion of crypto easier and faster.

He retired from pro boxing, and this one is just an exhibition match, so it doesn't affect his record or Mayweather's record. Mayweather will remain undefeated even if he loses, as it's not a professional bout. I think this is a trend for popular boxers. It's not surprising to see them in exhibition matches because even if they are out of the pro scene, exhibition matches can still generate a lot of money for them. In fact, some exhibition matches generate more money compared to professional boxing.

About Manny being unable to participate in the Olympics, it's quite disappointing. However, it's puzzling why they would try to hype that when they were already aware of the age limit. They may have given false hope.

He was forced to play during the finals as they needed him. But this one might be too physical since there are lots of big guys, and he doesn't want to risk himself playing not at 100%. JMF has a lot of injury history already, and he is better when he is fully healthy, like as healthy as he was when they won a championship in the Asian Games. Honestly, I think Edu is more effective, but since he is also out, other bigs should step up, and hopefully, Japeth will turn back the time.

I don’t get also what OP is trying to achieve. He has all the funds to trade and admit that he knows trading well, so why the heck he’s looking for someone to trade using his funds? I guess if someone will accept this type of challenge, when the trade ends up a loss, most likely the trader itself will be held responsible of that, and the owner of the funds might demand for his money back. I don’t know but I think OP is trying to play safely, not realizing that he is already attracting scammers to bite his offer and wake up one day that all his funds have suddenly gone.

That’s actually the real challenge when hodling. To stick to your goal regardless of the distractions in the market. If you can manage and overcome them well, congrats in advance, you will definitely achieve your target in the crypto market. But if you somewhat fall, that’s normal for every investor, at least you never end up quitting but will decide to invest more and hold more.

Just don’t be obsessed with your investment and try to handle it more calmly. Do no monitor closely its price, but focus more on maximizing the amount of your bitcoin as it will matter a lot when you decide to sell them.

You’re right. Man has no satisfaction in everything. As long as they gain benefits, they will never stop from doing it. Most especially with learning acquisition, that I think is limitless and endless. They might get tired with something in their life but with learning, I think even in all that they make and do, learning still takes place.

And when it comes to achievements, people will never get satisfied with any of those because that simply means success for them. Whether it’s investments, getting rewards, or any thing that pleases a person, that becomes unstoppable for them as their growth and development of a person never stops as well.

If that does not change in the future, then this league will slowly lose its credibility. When someone or a group of people has a significant influence on a certain league, it's likely that they can manipulate the outcome of the game as well. This is something that has never happened in the NBA, where team owners typically only own one team. Despite this, there are still rumors that the NBA uses referees to influence the game. If such rumors were to arise, how much more vulnerable would the PBA be with the kind of influence that big team owners have?

Some also replied quickly but the same thought from those who have posted already so I think that is quite useless to say. If you have nothing vital to add, then it’s better to just skip the thread and find other topics that you think you can contribute a lot. We are encouraging a constructive and informative posts in the forum so that it will continue to serve new ideas and information to those who are new in the forum.

Replying fast or replying late should not be an issue. But it matters most if what you are posting are irrelevant or off topic. Be aware of that. Otherwise, your post will often be criticized and I think that won’t be good for you and in the forum. However, if it’s constructive criticism, probably that’s fine.

We can't blame him on his reaction, because whether it's accidental or not, you saw his face bleeding so he'll react on that.

However, this news that came up was before the game, so there must be some problem on his side for punching a player which I think the NBA will be investigating and find out who is at fault and sanction will be impose to the one. Well, it's probaly him since he was the one that was arrested.

That is what competition is for, they can't monopolize it because this league is for everyone. If there's a lot of politics within the league, we won't be able to get talented players that will represent our country in the international competition. So if these two big team owners will not influence the decision of those who run the league, they can choose the best players to represent our country, regardless on what team he is playing.

Have you observe that when coach Chot was still in charge on Gilas, most of the players are from TNT, now that Tim Cone is the coach, he's also getting the SMB players, but the good thing is they won a championship, so people did not complain on that.

I don't know if you are telling the truth, but if ever you are, you're lucky indeed. The price has made a continuous surge and that makes you even luckier since your profits has grown more as well. Just continue doing that and be more patient while waiting for the final bull run, in the end, you will also be the one to reap and benefit your profits when you have decided to sell all your coins.

That I am not so aware bout this as I starting following Loma after that fight. I thought he was undefeated but then I saw he has one loss against Salido. Thanks for giving light on what happen, now I know, no wonder people are not talking about that loss of Loma.

This one was a legit loss, although he had an injury but he can't make that as an excuse especially if he had that already before the fight but just continue knowingly he isn't 100%. Everyone has an excuse though, but if we'll symphatize on that, it will be disrespectful to Teo who is a great boxer (now a champ).

But it was a unanimous decision, if we judge only on the result without watching the fight, we will think he was dominated but it wasn't really that way, that's why it was a controversial decision but we gotta respect that. Anyway, Loma could correct that in a rematch if Haney would allow, but right now he has to win his upcoming fight.

There's a possibility, afterall, it's business and they'll make sure that they'll benefit from owning a team. Unfortunately, they are just getting selfish because they are making money but they aren't satisfying the wish of the fans, like making it a competitive league like in the past. I'm sure fans are still gonna watch the game (not only in the playoffs or finals) if there's a major changes going to happen to benefit the fans, that should be their first focus as everything will just follow.


I heard rumors about this but it seems like the PBA are not interested with it. Although I believe they already know that the league  is losing popularity, they still keep the current set up of teams, and worst it looks like one farm team is confirm added.

It’s not on the cryptocurrency or bitcoin that improves your standard of living but it’s definitely on how you manage your position towards bitcoin. If you are smart enough to take every opportunity that bitcoin offers, then surely you will gain a highly productive result. But if you keep on missing every opportunity that comes and would neglect them instead of going out from your comfort zone and take the risk, believe me, your life will never be productive at all.

People fail in trading because they are not capable to win. Not only because they don’t have what it takes to make a profitable trade, but they are also not well prepared enough to trade due to lack of knowledge and skills, and most probably they lack the trading experiences that will make them master their trading. However, some people fail in trading despite of their trading knowledge and experiences, but since they find it hard to control their emotions, and would always based their decision from their emotions, then this kind of people will never win from their trades.

Converge had a strong start, they assume the players of Alaska but after that season, they decided to trade their key players like Jeron Teng and Ahamnissi, that was already a sign that they are not serious with winning a title.


So they will add on the farm teams, and that will make it 3 in the league.
1-Blackwater
2- Terrafirma DYIP
3-Converge.

I thought Converge was like Phoenix, but I was wrong.
