If Miami will continue the way they've played from all those series that they've finished for sure the chance to win is still there.

Unpredictable if whom will triggered the shot. they played well as ball rotations really bring them the right open shots to take.
The good thing also is that they are trusting each other and really helping to whatever helps that they can bring while inside the court.


But they will also need to suddenly change the pace of defense.
This Lakers team attacks so fast and there will be a lot of fast breaks that will come.

It will be in a different level since Lebron and Davis are in good chemistry. They might want to find someone who can stop Davis while also defending the huge Howard or McGee.
The Heat cannot just be like Houston with a small line up or they will end up with the same results.

We never now until we seen them playing.

They are small but they also rotate well, unlike Rockets who mostly focused with WB and Harden, Miami works as a team,
they are very good in all aspects even they are the underdog they keep showing up and compete hardly.
3882  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Buy and Hold Really the Best Strategy in Crypto? on: September 29, 2020, 05:15:06 PM
I don't really know what could be the best strategy but for me it is the safest assuming on how crypto has been on the past.
And most of us believe that the crypto could still grow and in the future the price could get higher so for them buy and hold is the best strategy.
But I think we all have our own type's of strategy so everyone have their own decision on whats best.

Maybe also depends from how long you'll spend your time, if you have enough time to work from day to day buying and holding ain't the best strategy but if you don't have that time, it' better to continue investing for long term process, you won't be affected by any market movements if you plan to hold and sets the value that you wanted to sell out your aassets.

Nowadays people like to follow the trend.  Defi project is being discussed a little more.  I think this insanity is going to stop very soon.  These projects should be thoroughly analyzed before getting involved.

Precisely, before getting involved you need to make sure that you have a broader information about the project that you'll going to participated, there are lots of scammers who are riding with DeFi popularities without taking care you'll lose your investment in a short
span of time, best to make sure that you have everything before doing any participation.

Game 1 NBA Finals, who is riding with the current trend?

Heat vs Celtics and Lakers vs Nuggets series are mostly a high scoring game, so I'm thinking I'll be following that in game 1 of the NBA finals.

You think it's still gonna hit? Grin

Even with Caruso and Green defending Robinson and Herro they will find a way to shoot those threes.
So yes, I might also bet with Over 217.5.

I might not combine the bets from hereon. It's just too unpredictable for now and both teams are doing great in the defensive and offensive zone.
Put a little bit for the Heat and more at Over 217.5.
Might also add some bets for player stats again.

Over might be triggered as both coaches will try different approaches in this coming game 1.

LeBron and AD will be expected to show up again and lift the team with the help of everyone beyond them, while Bam and Butler
in the other side needs to provide and compete together with those all  cast who helped them up to reach the finals.
3885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 29, 2020, 02:36:31 PM
Miami is at disadvantage in terms of line up. Pretty sure they could make it to championship lebron's strong teammates. Not only good key players but also tall and can shoot even at 3 pointer area. Miami has only butler and few good rookie like duncan and herro. I think in this championship game if they can make more shots especially in the 3 pointer area then lakers could had difficulties to win the championsion and might be able to push the series into game 7.

If Miami will continue the way they've played from all those series that they've finished for sure the chance to win is still there.

Unpredictable if whom will triggered the shot. they played well as ball rotations really bring them the right open shots to take.
The good thing also is that they are trusting each other and really helping to whatever helps that they can bring while inside the court.
3886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight on: September 29, 2020, 02:07:59 PM

So we can expect that Lopez will lose in this fight? Hmm... that's what most of us are thinking for sure, and that's why the odds for Lopez is so good if you are a believer of him. $1 million guaranteed money, I think I read a news in the past that he wasn't contented with the pay, correct me if I'm wrong.

If he can beat Lomachenko then he can ask a big amount of money $1 million is already a lot of money he is not a superstar to ask for a bigger paycheck, he must best Lomachenko and everything will follow, fame fortune money and that is if he beat Lomachecko, who is the real superstar here.

He asked for big amount as his market in the future is at risk here, he is currently undefeated but some vouchers when their undefeated record is destroyed, they can't recover anymore, so that could be worth $1 million more or an opportunity destroyed by Lomachenko.

which is correct, most of the time once you suffered defeats it's already hard to bounce back and bring your records. He's camp is thinking for the future they are staking against time in case Lomachenko destroyed Lopez totally.
The money will allow him to continue life just in case he won't get any good fight after this.
3887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Police Raids and kids involving spider betting. on: September 29, 2020, 02:01:33 PM
How dangerous are these spiders?

I'm sure they are not dangerous for humans, but dangerous among their species. I just dont understand how can they force one spider fight another? Keep them hungry? Then they are torturing them and this might be worse than just gambling.

I think this story in overall is not about gambling, but another story about someone not wearing protection masks during pandemic. And press just add sound words "spiders, kids, gambling" to attract more attention.

That's the focus or the highlights of this concern, the protocols for not wearing the safety guards, it will open the chances of spreading
the virus, plus the information that it was also alarming since young kids are involved, people that supposedly not allow to go out as per the rule of government while we are still inside quarantine status.
3888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 28, 2020, 07:49:13 PM
Ok, another bets...
seems like I'll have to go with the Lakers this time, any idea on whose going to be or the nominated players for MVP this season?

Finals MVP.
Bam Adebayo or Jimmy Butler for Miami Heat.
Lebron James or Anthony Davis for Los Angeles Lakers.

Those 4 mentioned names are very  anticipated but for the finals MVP it's still depends from how they will performed, remember way back when Iggy win the finals MVP most of us expect that it will Steph that will get it.

Bucks played amazing on regular season but they have Giannis to show for, maybe Middleton and bledsoe looked like good players too but they weren't really stars. You can check all the teams Miami won over and none of them had Lebron King James and also Anthony Davis, these are just way too good players to let a team like Miami win the championship.
We can analyze it more in Games 1 and 2.
It's difficult to just assume now since the Heat is really a good team.
They have shooters. They have Butler who can shoot anywhere and then Bam. I think it might become a good match up.
Just worried who will be the back in case Bam gets in foul trouble. Lakers have 3 big men on the line.

That's the huge advantage of Lakers, having that 7footers to dominate the boards, while in case of Miami they have a good ball rotations they are not forcing anything, what's good to see now is there's no real huge gaps as Miami is also competitive and ready to take every opportunities to opened up for them.
3889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government figures or politicians supporting Bitcoin? on: September 28, 2020, 06:55:00 PM
For being decentralized coin, government are not able to track it properly. Still there are some government who are not permitting bitcoin as legal currency. But most of the countries are talking about blockchain technology.

In some country, government support and somewhere it was done by the politician to hide their corrupted money. Whatever itself, it will increase the demand of cryptocurrency in the market and increase the flow of it. Good news is many country had increased their demand of bitcoin and crypto currency and make people to inverse fear less.

Good news that the popularities are really emerging from time to time, we've seen politicians start to accepts the system, they are not just using it from laundering but also allowing people inside their jurisdictions to continue using this system.

It's best though that the government who recognized the functions and not just by politicians who have
vested interest to use the system.
3890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Scams and Government on: September 28, 2020, 06:11:19 PM
Similar such incidents will be mentioned as a reason by the government when applied for regulated usage of cryptocurrencies. More Scams in the name of cryptocurrency is truly destroying the true quality of cryptocurrency and it's features

I don't agree. Crypto scams don't destroy its image. It's like saying that fiat scams destroy fiat's image.

If someone doesn't feel like having cash is dangerous after reading that someone was robbed he shouldn't feel that it's dangerous to own bitcoin after reading that somebody was scammed online.

So many people in the US fall victim to IRS scammers or fake Microsoft support from India and they keep using fiat money. It's their way of thinking that should change not crypto.

Great example! it's just depending from how people understand it in full.

Crypto is just another venue for scammers, we can't removed the fact that those people are present to any places where money are involved. In fact there are many scamming that has been done by means of fiat than crypto, so basically it's shouldn't be affecting that much.
3891  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are DeFi projects trustless? on: September 28, 2020, 06:00:16 PM
DeFis are mostly still in their early stages we can expect to see better and more professional platforms in next 2-3 years.
Till then developers need to come up with better interface. Fool proof security, better products and services. More options to make money safely.

Developers needs to convince more investors that the project is not just a pumped and dumped business, that they really have something to offer inside the business sectors.


At the moment risks like scams, smart contract bugs, fake stats or fake promises are damaging the sector so the good projects should make sure that they come up with a better paltform.

High risk indeed, more and more scammers are inside this platform and they are damaging the system, if you do plan to invest make sure to go deeper before placing your entry.
3892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting small amounts on a lot of matches or big amount on couple of matches? on: September 28, 2020, 04:43:20 PM
I have been gambling a lot these days with soccer matches but I'm not enough lucky to make a profit. However, I'm not into huge loss. It's very tiny amount if I check all the previous P/L.

Good thing for you as you are still capable of lessen your losses, most of those gamblers who played a lot ended up losing more.

I don't bet big amount. Usually, I bet $4/$5 worth of BTC on a lot of matches; sometimes I win and sometimes I loss. But that can't make me any profit.

Good practice and finding the right patterns to win especially that you are dealing with sports betting, you need to keep in track
of every games that you are following.

Should I go for bigger amount of bets on few matches or stay with current strategy (placing many bets of small amounts)?

Assess and weight in which will bring much higher probabilities, changing your strategy needs to have a good control, it's a risk but if you succeed then winning is the next thing for you. Good luck
3893  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: which is a good option?? Trade or Hodl on: September 28, 2020, 09:59:45 AM
that very depends on your ambitions and plans for crypto. I prefer trading, coz I like the process. besides, DEFI is trendy opportunity now - you can check it. A lot of exchanges already start some platforms and list these tokens
heard that cex.io announced defi platform and enable credit card  purchase of tokens and they have zero fee campaign till september

Hope they extend it till next month, October. We're about to end September now so you should hurry up especially from what I know that CEX.io requires KYC?

My answer to OP's post is that have both ways. You need to trade whenever you see it benefits you for buying or selling the digital asset. Also you may need to hold on to a few digital assets too as you may never know when those assets will go boom.

You need to balanced everything, with proper knowledge it will be much easier to judge things up.

You are correct as timing is vey important each position you'll going to take will have corresponded response to your earnings.
Getting much attentions in when to trade and when to hold will increase the chance of getting better benefits.

It's time to promote more and more the crypto world, with defi ando new coins that are borning this is the perfect moment for start the mass adoption. I think that it's time to share also with our friends this amazing world

I agree with you, it's a good time to promote crypto currencies among friends and family. So far the crptyo world made it very good through the corona pandemic. Prices have been stable almost all this year and the outlook for the near future is pretty good. I think we should tell our close friends and family about the returns we made in cryptos. Bitcoins and other alt coins are a feat way to reduce fiat exposure and invest in alternative asset classes to diversity our portfolios.

We should bring ideas and open our relatives and friends about this new  venue of investment.

With your knowledge about this market you can give a closer look and glimpse to what possibilities that people who closes to you
can gained from investing and using this alternative currency, both from investment and usages points of views.
3895  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Not your keys, not your Crypto – Kucoin Hacked! $150m Stolen. on: September 28, 2020, 09:10:59 AM
One good thing is people didn't lose their money, and this is another lesson for the traders who never should store their cryptos on exchanges or better move to decentralized exchanges. What is the status of the exchange right now? They are back into the action with resolving their security flaw?

Just a few minutes back, I was able to login to my account with Kucoin. So I guess they are allowing the users to either trade their assets or to withdraw them. None of us want to store our coins in any of the cryptocurrency exchanges. But those who do frequent trading may be tempted to do so, since withdrawals can be quite expensive with Kucoin. The last time I checked, their withdrawal fee was BTC0.0004. So it is not very economical to do deposits and withdrawals very frequently, if you are a trader.

Part of the reason why traders stored their assets inside the exchange, but if you do this kind of trades, there are options that you can deal as alternatives, you can easily convert your assets to another coin to lessen the fees.
The statement was right. not your keys not your coins, no other choice if such hacked happened you are affected together worth your money.
3896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH 2.0 And High Transaction Fees.. on: September 28, 2020, 08:45:58 AM
For high ETH transaction fees in my opinion it all depends on the user, because users want the transaction to be confirmed fast so many users use high fuel costs and for miners prefer to take high gas costs than cheap ones to do.
And it should be fixed by the team, they should provide good  ways for every one to use the chain without paying extra to be able to
process much quicker.

So that the increasingly rampant transactions of those who use low fuel costs inevitably have to impose very high fees if they want to be confirmed quickly. So all of this has nothing to do with ETH 2.0 and is not going to die.

Looking forward that this process may able to take good care after the ETH 2.0 are being presented.

Harkorede? I think stadus also made a bet for over the total points of the game.

I am truly happy for you guys and I guess that is because I am in a good mood today.  Wink
Just look at this.

1st half Jaylen Brown just got 1 assist but somehow he managed to get 4 before the game ends.  Wink
I was checking it from time to time in stats board since I don't count while watching the game.


A huge congratulation Reid ending the ECF with that very sweet wins.

I didn't place any and good thing since I'm eyeing for Boston to win this up and push the do or die game 7, but Miami is really
a team of surprises, players are really underrated with best performances when it's needed them most.

Congrats again..

The game has ended for the Lakers and Nuggets. Mostly thought that it's gonna be Nuggets' game but it wasn't.

Congratulations to thee Lakers bettor.

LeBron shoulders the Nuggets he's today stats seems to be the old days of him, showing how dedicated he was fulfilling he's Promise to Kobe. Lakers are back to the finals after long years of absence.
Now they'll be waiting for their opponent to face in the finals. Either Heat or Celtics 💪 LeBron and the rest of the squad are one more series to get the title.
3899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 27, 2020, 05:34:01 AM

How does the celtics surviving game 5 make you confident the lakers will win game 5, they are 2 completely independent games/series.

Well, that means the Lakers will have enough time to rest and watch both Miami and Celtics playing each other for them (Lakers) to come up with an effective plays to counter their opponent in the Finals.
That's the whole reason why I said the Lakers needs to close out the series, specially If the Celtics survives game 5, and that's just what happened.
They might be completely different series, but I might say the Lakers have the advantage now in terms of the preparation for the next opponent.


They can watch it out and plan more ahead, this is the advantage after finishing the series much earlier.

Plus that they can relaxed out since the series between Miami and Boston is still ongoing they have more time spending together
players bonds and good chemistry is not only inside the court but also outside.

Congrats Lakers Fans!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npu8ndX3fKw

Maybe this win will give the Inoue camp to push thru their fight. As others are saying that it seemed Inoue's camp lost interest with Casimero. Now, boxing fans will clamor for Inoue-Casimero match. Hopefully, see the fight early next year.

By the way, the video link has been removed by the uploader.

A good way to draw attention from Inoue's camp!

After this win many fans from both sides will gain interest for sure advertisers and promoters will go ahead and find ways to
settle this fight to happen,. Let's wait and see what future will bring to this call. Congrats Casimero!
