The prediction and bet on the match are more than obvious.

Lakers to win, good luck!

Yeah, that's true. Its obvious that is why they put handicap there.
ML is now 5.00 at Sportsbet.
It's a little tempting but I still have doubts.
Maybe this will increase more before the game. I will just wait for that.

For now, my betbuilder is full of players stats. Like..
LBJ 8+ rebs
Herro 14+ pts
LBJ 8+ assists
more...
I managed to make 4.75 odds.  Grin

I'm starting to like this line too Reid! ML and handicap is really hard since the game depends from how players performs.
With this kind of picks you really pointing it out with players performance the odds are good and if you are lucky those
players are really capable of hitting those stats. Good Luck!

I see the development of cryptocurrency from year to year continues to increase, lots of new atcoins / tokens appear on the exchange, but most of them will only become trash when the "hype" disappears from the surface. Many traders and investors have neglected whitepapers, roadmaps, technology, vision and mission on a project, all they have in mind is to take advantage of the hype for quick profits. It's a pity indeed, but that's the reality right now

We already have thousand but more of them will lost its daily volume one of the day and many traders will be stuck with that because no one want to buy it any more. I don't know why people always investing in a new project when we have already a lot choices that also looking for investors . I think investors need to focus on the tokens or coins that listed in the market and ignore all other new crowdsale for thier own security for thier money.

More on opportunities! people thinks that chances to grab a huge profits from new project still exist.

Thinking that once luck permits them it will happened that they will bank up a very decent to huge value of profits, it's still inside
their mindsets that this venue still offers quick ways to richness only to find out that it's more on losing your money.

<snip>
Just yesterday, fortunately I won on slots and roullete (the anusual winning that I get from gambling).
But unfortunately, I've been eaten by some greed on me to bet higher, and that's when my wins were cut down slowly but surely.
I've been playing for a almost half of the day, before, my plan is to walk away already if I already got my winning amount goal.
But I haven't, I continue betting and at the end of the day, I lost almost 90% of my winnings that day.  
Sometimes it's hard to decide what to do, I should set more outlines for myself for this I guess.

What you have experienced, I have experienced it several times. It is quite difficult to control the greed in us. Sometimes I also find it
difficult to stop it, therefore we must be able to discipline to ourselves. If you are already profitable in gambling, you must immediately
walk away with the victory that we have obtained. Don't ever try to play again, then without us knowing it, we will lose all the profits
we have made and even the capital we are using will runs out. Always remember, we as gamblers will never win against the houses in
the long run.
If you  don't act wisely  then  your statement will continue  to be  true,  but you  should learned  along the way.  There  are opportunities  to  bank decent  amounts of winning make sure  not  to be  greedy in order  to  make a good money out from this  activity.

There are times that you'll suffer  from losing but  if you good control you can lessen  the loses and comeback  the next try and recover  or win  more if luck  permits you.

+9.5 for the Heat, will it continue to rise? or what will happen if Dragic and Bam turns out available in game 2?


What sportsbook us that? I'm not familiar with the look.

Heat at +9.5, looks there's a value but I wouldn't put my bet this early, I'll go live betting with this one to see if the key players like Bam would play.

That's tempting but without Bam and Dragic, it's really a risk!

Will wait also with the live games and see how Lakers will play and if Bam and Dragic will be there and heat will gamble them here in game
2 and same odds will be there might be putting small spare coin for that bet. Good luck everyone!

No disrespect to Steve Nash, but there are still good black coaches on the line and yet they hire those without experience.
Coz why not? I don't see anything wrong of picking Steve Nash. And on the other note, even though he got no experience with coaching that's okay because he's already considered a veteran in playing. That could be his edge in his new career. Thus, I do believe that the management did a wise choice on picking him. He will be a good coach because he doesn't only understand the technicalities of the game but also all the drama inside the hard court since it takes part of his life for quite a long time Smiley.
I see that point too! Even he's a rookie in terms of this new field but he's in hand experienced playing the game gave him the capabilities to understand how he can contribute to the team that he's going to handle.
Remember how coach Kerr become successful sharing he's talent with players who have the same types of his game, I'm interested how he'll be able to coach Kyrie and KD both are offensive but if Nash able to turned both stars to pass out and rotates the ball, that's really an interesting factors.
3866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbie's guide to avoid ICO Scam on: October 01, 2020, 07:59:23 PM
It seems to me that the creator of the topic fell asleep back in 2018, and woke up just now.
The fact that most of the ICO scams have been known for a long time, moreover, if you look at the ICO market, you will not see almost any projects, and those that you see do not receive any funding because they are suspected of being a scam.
Now we need to look at the market for DeFi projects, not ICO. It is HYIP DeFi that is now repeating the same thing that happened with the ICO in the past.

The patterns are similar so make sure to keep doing a hard research before doing any participations.

DeFi re making it's way and many investors are fomoing to participate, from that views scammers are also taking advantages
to avoid being victimized make sure to learn first everything regarding to the DeFi project that you are looking to invest don't quickly
jumped do your DYOR,.

If your patience is high to deal with it will pay off, don't be too quick to judge what happened in the beginning because there will be a good ending later. continue to struggle
Yes, but for now it is also not uncommon for things that we think are good at first but eventually become bad, so analysis and research must always be there so that we can judge the pros and cons of a market situation before we carry out further struggles, even though we also we cannot fully ascertain the pros and cons of a market through the analysis and research that we do, but at least we already know where the market is going.

I experienced this 3 years ago. These coins are great to invest in and experience good things every month but over time. The coin only lasts 1 year to have a good price.

There's always time for each projects, back then this coin also jumped high as the bull market really caters most of those alts around the market. Nowadays this coin still bringing something but you need to be more close as you have to monitor the movements in order to compensate from those project, there's ups and down that you can follow and start to collect decent profits.
3868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe NBA is rigged? on: October 01, 2020, 05:17:04 PM
Well I would not be surprised if it were rigged. The only problem I see here is that we don't have the proof that it is so. Only the ones playing the game, refereeing the game, administering the games would know if there is rigging happening. Basketball can be rigged and one player with ill intent and a lot of cash will be able to do so. But of course, without evidence this is all just speculation and hear say that we here on this thread is sometimes very good at doing.

I don't think the NBA is rigged. There are just too many teams with so many players and other personal involved. So many people depend on the NBA, it would just need one of those people to come forward with some proof and everything would be over. Also what are the chances that all these people are working so close together? Usually if we see rigged matches in sports, it's 1 or 2 teams involved and the referees. The NBA is just too big to be rigged in my opinion.

There's part of maybe rigged but like what you have said it's too big to completely being rigged at all!

There are lots of involvements with those examples, players and managements plus the officials and commissioners who can't say
who's who but partly there are people behind who capable to control such matters.
3869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people still fall victim to obvious scam? on: October 01, 2020, 03:38:54 PM
Most people who got scammed by this kind of scheme are those who are new in the crypto industry, but some old people in the crypto industry still got scammed because they are still hoping for easy money with huge returns. This kind of scheme easily attracts the greedy one's.

These scams that scam newcomers does NOT give a good first impression to new people getting started with investing in crypto, and worse they will tell their friends that they got scammed. This in turn will put some people away from getting into cryptocurrencies in general, that's not a good thing.

That kind of impressions is more powerful than reading or watching it over the internet, when victims experienced such scams they will share it and it will bring bad impression to those people who are unaware to this business.
It's always needs to research and never to follow anyone's opinion, remember that it's your money that you need to protect, never be influenced and move by anyone.
3870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: October 01, 2020, 02:43:11 PM
Yeah Manny has high chances if winning.

It is funny to read that Manny has chances to win. A guy that trained boxing for his entire life and is one of unique fighters has chances over a rookie in boxing and has only 1 boxing fight. A chance against a guy that did not do any fighting sport for half of his life. A chance against a guy that likes to drink and smoke (Tyson Fury is an exception).

I second the motion Hahahah Grin Cheesy chance are we talking about chance ?

Oh well, I think if the fight will not be rigged then the chance of losing for Manny is slim, though he's fighting for charity works, most probably he will aim to win and bag much bigger money to help those people who are in need due to this pandemic virus.
3871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting small amounts on a lot of matches or big amount on couple of matches? on: October 01, 2020, 02:18:26 PM

So just parlay 3 matches bet big and then wait for the outcome.

With luck beside you that will turned to a huge earnings.


I would say if someone bets big (amount he/she can't afford to lose), on luck or without the required required skills/experience, it would be a gamble, considering that he/she may or may not be profitable betting this way for profits in the long run.   In my opinion, it's better for such bettor to properly learn how to bet right and be sure of being profitable before committing big amount.  If you earn $300 monthly as salary and use $50 weekly for bets like that, purely on luck, it would be considered gambling because you are risking alot and not sure about profitability

No Question about your opinion, and for sure it's beneficial as you are risking huge amount of money.

You are right! planning ahead and make sure to have a proper handling of your bankroll, from that point you are learning and with good experiences you'll be able to judge every single bets that you'll going to take. Good thing that it's keeps adding chances and lessen the risk as time goes along the way.
3872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: October 01, 2020, 02:11:25 PM
Game 1 beat down. It's like the Miami boys playing against LA men. Looking forward to game 2 and the adjustments the Heat coach will make. I'm pretty sure his boys will try to take revenge. Their embarrassing loss should wake them up from their dream hehe.

And it really looks like a mis-match in game 1. The energy of Miami Heat is not there anymore. We don't know if they are caught off guard with Lakers defense and their outside shooting. I'm expecting that Miami will come in the 3rd quarter a different team.

The adjustment is on coach Spo now, but with three of his main players injured or doubts in game 2, might be difficult to overcome this Lakers team in game 2, unless they will have like an off-night.

The matchups showed very mismatch anyone who guarded AD can't handled him while LeBron is also in it's attack mode.

Coach Spo needs to find ways to bring his rookies in shape and not be bothered, they need to play harder  than what they've showed earlier the series still on and they've got a lots of time to adjust and bring the competition to the next level. They already here in the finals so better to show up what they've capable of.
3873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: October 01, 2020, 01:19:38 PM
I'm rethinking if I should go with Heat too and just make this bet as a welcoming bet, win or lose, wouldn't care.

You should to somehow no regrets if the result won't favor you. There's another round in case of loss. Smiley

I have to opt-out to bet on Game 1 as I want at least a preview of both teams first.

Miami Heat becomes a thing in my mind and wants to lure me to bet for them lol. Good luck everyone.
No regrets. The Lakers won. It's worth it to try with the first games but the next games, it's better to think twice before hitting that bet button.

What we have on Saturday guys? Do you think that Heat can get the next game? I'm not butthurt with the first lose and I'm just rowing to these two rivers if I had to and it's normal as a bettor.

Best to analyze deeper, it's hard to say if how things will be done the next following game, Lakers is really playing well, they start this series with full forces, The amazing Duos of LeBron and AD was supported by all those players who played alongside with them.

Game 2 is another thing let see if how Coach Erick will adjust as every defenders that he used against AD was not effective he needs to find ways to stop the dominance of AD.

The promotion is good as most of the players who don't like to use their own money or for those players who like to try this game but they
don't have a money to do it still have a chance if they will be lucky in getting the rains in chat.
Correct and most of those gambler are just testing out the game and the platform once they've seen comfort for sure they'll going to use their own money and expect them to be a regular customers.
It's always good to offer such offer as opportunities is open to win decent value of money.


The game is also unique and I am also interested in trying it, I am very curious whether the boss of robots will be very difficult to defeat
or it will be easy as long as you have enough weapons in your inventory.

Me as well. The way it's been introduce old school but entertaining, this approach caters both generation.
3875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 30, 2020, 10:47:00 AM

Iggy is still a good defender, he was very useful in the Heat vs Celtics series and IIRC, he was playing more minutes in game 6 where they close out the Celtics, so I guess he can still guard Lebron as he knows him very well.
Andre is 36 years old, Lebron is 35, it's a good match up in age as i don't see Andre slowed down.

If heat will pull a surprise, and Andre did a better job on BRON, he could win as Finals MVP with 199.95 betting odds (current odds), he should bet on himself.

Wow! and the chances is how slim betting with such odds?

Both are aging but still have the caliber but unlike LeBron he's body still showing that he can lift the team, when he's on a full battle mode for sure even Butler doubled him up he can still do something and delivered. Let see that tomorrow if who's going to perform well.
3876  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your strategy in taking profit on: September 30, 2020, 10:30:56 AM
I made most of my money by buying bitcoin. Despite the fact that the country I live in has the highest taxation rates in the world, the government has not made any regulations for the bitcoin stock market so far.

By buying and storing bitcoin the chance of taking a good profit mostly happened with great timing and good patience.
Just keep yourself away from fuds and don't stop to learn fro time to time.

I hope they never think of making such regulations or rules. By the way, I never plan to buy a lambo.  Cry

That's influenced the most, when government implement such rules it will take effects right after. Just be content with decent profits
than to expect and lose your money in the short run.
3877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make old people understand Bitcoin? on: September 30, 2020, 09:54:09 AM
It's a bit difficult to convince older people but to introduce bitcoin to people I meet there are several ways, namely by explaining how bitcoin works, how to get bitcoin, blockchain technology, how to mine and also where to sell bitcoin. I have arranged everything neatly so that they understand and can learn it smoothly. So in the same way and it takes extra effort so that older people can understand.

You need to have more extra time and effort when you speak out with older people, those people who only understand and wanted to understand fiat than new technology, though it's possible to attract their attentions but the start will be the hard way, just like introducing how to use new gadgets with an early 60's grandpa.

I thought that Kucoin was one of the most secured and advanced crypto exchanges but I am surprised that it is also hacked and the huge fund is withdrawn by hackers. Although Kucoin has cold storage wallet how the hackers have stolen this huge fund.

They are one of those trusted exchange but even so they are also not safe in the eyes of the hackers, everything is possible since a lots of possibilities that hackers can penetrate even in a much secure system. That's the fact which most of us always say, not your private key not your assets. There's always a risk so storing is not really advise especially with huge amount of value.
3879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting small amounts on a lot of matches or big amount on couple of matches? on: September 30, 2020, 09:12:19 AM
I would say go all in in couple of matches than spreading across small amount on a lot of matches.

The chances of winnng much decent is more prefer if you choose this way.

I'm talking about experience here and this is my personal opinion.

Seems that you are very active with sport betting, Me I prefer also to have few bets with good spare money.

At least you will have to known early if you have lost already instead of waiting for other matches to complete to see if you have won. Specially if you do a parlay, it will just take one loss and your win is completely scratch.

Good point, with few  games you can prepare yourself for another sets of games the following day.

So just parlay 3 matches bet big and then wait for the outcome.

With luck beside you that will turned to a huge earnings.
3880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vietnam bursts an illegal casino who used to handle bets worth $3 billions on: September 29, 2020, 06:09:15 PM
The illegal casinos are too smart to smell from the officials' investigation, and they can always move to the new places to continue their business. They have a back up from the corrupt officials, which always tells them if there is an operation to chase the illegal casinos. But some illegal casinos already seized, and the owner gets jailed, but that is for formality only because in a short time, the owner will get free and the owner can rerunning the casino. But this time, they will get support from the corrupt officials because that is hot money for the officials.

The problem with running an illegal casino is that it is not practical to bribe all the bureaucrats and politicians. Obviously they will have a few in their payroll, but the others will try to hurt the business. Sometimes the casino may be owned by politicians or other high ranking officials. Even in such cases, they will find themselves in trouble when the owner loses his power or influence.

This is possible that not every bureaucrat would be accepting bribe and working but somehow the system is such that they would either get transfers or some pressure from the top when they act as an hindrance in between working for their business as it also involves influential people else this also things are very easy to get shut by police. Without involvement of any top people it cannot run for long.


Influences as we know it really play the big role when illegal activities are taking place.

Without any participations of a well known politicians this kind of illegal gaming won't last long, for sure they are big names
behind this that's why the owner able to manifest and generates huge amount of money before being busted.
