The vote recount if (can help) only help Trump to win 1 to 2 battleground states and won't help him to win the President Election 2020.

He can not accept the lost presidency and it is more difficult for him to see news on efficacy of vaccine trials were released few days after the Election day. The vote recount battle might not help him to good support for 2024 President Election. Many things can help in 4 years.

He is not looking for the opportunity to win in 2024, he wants to prove that he win this election, and if he would just accept it easily, there's no reason for him to run in 2024 as he would still not win IMO. I don't know, maybe people are already tired of him or his administration was jut hit by the bad timing of pandemic, if he had release the vaccine (if he has) before the election, then he could have won easily.

It's not an excuse because covid-19 really do exist, if that is the intention then other countries are doing the same.

Not every country are printing money though, I think it was only USA are doing that, correct me if I'm wrong because I just read that US did that and there was a lot of speculation about it which will bring negative effect to their economy.

Every country has struggle on covid-19, so I think we should not speculate that things, unless you don't trust your government anymore.

It happens that Ive tried that strategy you want. Stick to best team, they will not conquer all the wins. What I mean was that, a game is a game and expect some turn the tables situations in a game. Perhaps, you can do some parlay bet strats but winning on many games is a pure luck.
 
 I knew sports bettor guy who usually wins in sports betting, he did some background check by DYOR to those teams before betting. Well, it is best to know the capability and the past performance of a team, right?

Very usual strategy and in reality, this kind of strategy which is sticking to your favorite team will not work in the long run. Sports betting a game of analysis, if you don't analyze and you just follow your favorite team blindly, you'll never survive in the long run.

There are odds and favorite teams though they win most of the time but will they cover, of if they win you'll get 50% and below, that percentage would still kill your bankroll in the long run, remember oddsmaker are not stupid.

Hopefully Derrick Rose will have a ring before he retires.

That injury really changes his future, he is still earning a decent salary but the recognition was already lost.
I guess he should be playing with star players or a team that has a decent chance of winning a championship.

However, we don't know his principle in life as a player, he wants to bring his team to win like in the past but things changes everything already.

Such a hard-working player needs to have his own ring as Leonard has. when he wins the championship for the Raptors. However, he always landed on the team who are not strong enough to compete in the playoffs and the results they always lose. I think whatever his decision with the game is must be respected because he is a good example of a player who doesn't care about his records. He played the game to the extent he injured himself very often.

He had already won an MVP award, I think it's already enough to prove how good a player is individually, so his mission now is to look for a team to give him or he can bring to the championship, he was not the same guy who is the main man in the team, now, he can be a support or a role player to help the main star of the team to carry the team to the NBA finals, but he needs to be in a good team first, a team that has a good potential.
3885  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC $100K-288K before Dec2021 ? on: November 16, 2020, 11:35:46 AM
So many tried to predict Bitcoin price in the future and so many failed , why would this guy be different ? The price will eventually increase and that is a fact but we cannot tell exactly when and if I was to choose I would go with 2022/23 and not with 2021 as we're still in the pandemic phase so I don't see any big economical growth.

Everyone has their own bullish prediction when the market is bullish, we should not be surprise with that, its even the reason why I failed to dump my coins in the last bull run because I listened to bullish people saying bitcoin will still rise and will reach $50,000, but look what happen.

So lesson learned for me, no one can really tell what's gonna happen in the long run, if you have opportunity to make yourself profitable, then grab it.

Sold your coins for a profit or not?

If you sold it for a profit, you did a great job, don't be too greedy, you can't see the future but selling at a profit is a good job already.
Of course you might think now that you could have hold for a bigger price now that bitcoin already hit $16,000, but that's it man, sometimes you need to accept and don't even think of buying now as you might caught up on a possible big dump that could happen.
3887  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin reach $20K soon? on: November 16, 2020, 10:50:57 AM
Given the increased interest in bitcoin, which is confirmed by the large-scale growth rates of bitcoin capitalization in the cryptocurrency market, its price will rise rapidly and it is quite possible that we will see $ 20K before the end of the year. CoinMarketCap indicators eloquently confirm this.
In fact, I see the opposite that bitcoin for the end of this year will not reach $ 20K, he will feel safe in the range of $ 15K- $ 16K alone, to prepare to move next year towards higher.
Let's prepare for all possible movement, pump or dump so we can always make a timely action, if indeed it will rise, then i guess we should start selling our bitcoin as it's possible the dump will happen next if it will fail to reach a new ATH. But if it will dump from now, just hold on, maybe convert to stable coin and wait for the timing to accumulate always at dip.

I must say you're quite brave betting on a sport you know nothing about.

I can do that as well if I'm not really betting a big money, this bet is just sure for fun but I like his a little streak.

I hope bitsler here will run a win streak for sports betting, other sportsbook like betbtc and coinbet are doing it, it's just that I don't gamble on their platform so hopefully I can try it in the site I'm consistently using.

Teams are having some good rest now as the Semi Finals will start 2 days from now.
They should because they are almost exhausted for playing with short rest only.

Phoenix vs TNT..chances here is 40/60
Ginebra vs Bolts.. chances here is I think 70/30 or 80/20/
I like the percentage though, seems realistic, but this is a best of 5 series, I think Meralco will at least 1 game in the semi.

What do you think, are we going to see an upset here again by the Meralco Bolts on another SMB team?
NOPE
3890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: November 15, 2020, 11:28:16 PM
Where do you think D-Rose should go this upcoming season?
If he wants a ring then best if he really team up with some superstars, really a bad thing but this guy was a beast and even shows in his rookie season and even gets better 3rd season getting that MVP but suddenly unexpected do always happen. He's been already sided with LeBron but I think he needs more of Giannis type I suppose, how about that tandem (Rose and Antetokounmpo) and by this supporting statement 11 months ago from the link of these two players Kyle Korver https://www.clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-kyle-korver-explains-how-giannis-antetokounmpo-derrick-rose-similar

Just a thing pops up on my mind and I'm awe there's something that my be a good supporting article about it. I'm not expecting they could be but it's worth a shot if they team up, right?

Agree, Derrick rose is one of the stars I look up to when I was a kid, his injury stories is just too sad for me, as much as I want to see this man win a championship, I sometimes doubt that it would come if he will not be teamed with the superstar stack team, I even fell like he's gonna retire in 2 years time or even by next year, he's a superstar himself but I just thought that even he is teamed with the bucks or with antetokounmpo, he will still not get the ring if they are faced with teams who have a LOT of superstars. There are just teams who could easily win the championship compared to them, and that team would give him the championship of course with his help as another superstar.

Hopefully Derrick Rose will have a ring before he retires.

That injury really changes his future, he is still earning a decent salary but the recognition was already lost.
I guess he should be playing with star players or a team that has a decent chance of winning a championship.

However, we don't know his principle in life as a player, he wants to bring his team to win like in the past but things changes everything already.

I prefer sports betting too as it lessen your chance of losing and increase your probability of winning.

Those are nice words to read, I hope everyone had experience that as a gambler, unfortunately, still most of us are losing in sports betting, any kind of game and in fact sports betting is the most profitable betting in the gambling world.

We can be a professional sports bettor if we have the skills, that is the condition as that would give us a good chance of winning as a gambler, other people who doesn't have the skills will just enjoy, win some, loss some but in the long run they'll still lose money.

I'm surprised about the result of SMB vs Meralco, this is the first time that Meralco had an easy win in the elimination or quarter finals. As what the commentator said, it's the first time that Meralco went into quarter finals in the All Filipino Cup, they should thank Fajardo, lol...

Anyway, congratulations to them, no excuses as an SMB fan.  Grin
3893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 15, 2020, 12:24:19 PM
DO OR DIE GAME FOR MERALCO VS SMB.

ODDS : Meralco 1.60 vs SMB 2.30

If Cabagnot will play, I think I'll go with the SMB to win, still hoping for a fresh update here.

SMB hopes to get Alex Cabagnot back in time for sudden-death vs Meralco




Best to take he risk odd's sweet knowing that this team can really deliver. Do or die to advance to semis the remaining core needs to step up, expect perforrmaces from Ross, Lassiter, santos and if Cabagnot will play, this veterans needs to bring the team to their champion's caliber performances wthout Fajardo and Romeo they still needs to boost all the players that coach Leo will bring inside.

Will watch the game closely and if I have spare coin I'll be backing SMB to win this and take the last position
for the semis, more on luck as the ball still round even they are the seems to be the underdog here.

Cabagnot is playing, I betting on the SMB live @+5.5 now, it's just a first quarter, though Meralco is already in the lead, but I think SMB will give a a fight tonight to try to win the series. Good luck guys, hopefully we will win this game.

Good bye to SMB already, their twice to beat advantage will be put to trash, this just proved that SMB is not the same without Junmar Fajardo.

I'm very disappointed with them, I don't know if they can still come back in the 4th quarter but they need a miracle to do that.

80-52 score now, Meralco with a huge lead.
3894  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people stop their crypto project? on: November 15, 2020, 12:19:50 PM
Some projects have had to stop for several reasons:
  • Lack of funds
  • This project was created by a scammer who just wanted to make money and didn't really want to build the project.

Probably lack of interest too, when they lack in funds, they should not launch the project, the thing is, we are seeing some projects that raise at least their minimum funds requirement to start the project, but they still fail in developing the project, question is, when will they use the funds if they will not return it to supplier. We really need the regulators to regulate and look at the market to remove the scammers who are abusing the newbie investors.
3895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford November 14 on: November 15, 2020, 11:59:57 AM
Many people thought Brook would put up more of a fight. I always felt it was wishful thinking and I was proven right. Crawford is one of the best finishers there is and Brook is unfortunately past his best years.

I though Brook, being a former world champion would stand in front of Crawford until the last round but i'm wrong hehehe. Betting for Crawford via knockout @1.3 was not worth the risk while @3.2 via unanimous decision is tempting so no regret for my bet and always do the same with that kind of fight.

Same here, lol.. it was an easy win by Crawford and with this win, he was able to gain more trust from his fans betting Brooks in round 4 only. you lose your bet mate? That's okay, there's still more to come, what would be next for Crawford here? is it time to face Manny Pacquiao?

It may be way to sooner but I think Warriors will win 2021 NBA Season as they had such a long break in order to prepare for it because their season basically ended after 10 games so I won't be surprised to see them in the finals. Also I would say that Nets have a good chance to reach semi-finals in their conference but we will see as transfers are still in talk in both conferences.

The Warriors will always be the favourite as long as their core is healthy, and the supporting cast is doing their role to help the team wins. I would say that they are eager to play again after being out for a long time, specially Curry and Thompson to bring back the old GSW. But Lakers and other teams in the West has improved a lot, so it will be a good and interesting Western conference and it will be exciting to see those team fighting it out for the top spot.

For now, no... Lakers are the favorites as they have won the championship and the warriors was back to their original core as Durant already leave the team, Warriors were most unbeatable when Durant was still playing, but they are still exciting to watch with Curry, Thompson, and Green only, that's their big 3 at the moment, the most consistent in the teams.

SPLASH BROTHERS will return healthy and they will give some headache to their opposing teams.

I'm still undecided on the scoreline. I like the line at under 184.5 but looking at the scoring average of these two teams, it's unlikely.

Of the 3 games that was already played, all of their total went under, you should not go with the flow, Magnolia is a low scoring team as they are focus on their defense, so if they will dictate the tempo, the game will end up a low scoring game, unless OT will happen.
3898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford November 14 on: November 14, 2020, 09:36:30 AM
^^ Thanks for the info mate. I'm still torn with this fight though, I wanted to bet on the underdog Kell Brook to pull an upset, however, I do think that he is over the hill and Crawford wouldn't let himself lose this fight because he is looking for a Spence fight in the future.

He is not getting any younger and as he opted to get out of his promotion from Top Rank, he will be good for three fight max before the start of him slowing down.

Couple of days to think, if it's worth the risk to bet on Brook or just let this fight go and wait for Crawford vs Spence.  Smiley

Me, I don't have to worry much if I'll put my bet on Brooks as I know his chances is low so I would just put a little bet on that. A spence vs Crawford fight is what we like to see too, but I would go for Crawford if that will happen as I haven't seen him struggle in his previous fights, all was a clear win and an easy win IIRC.

Ie, We measure network confidence by comparing the transaction fee with the average transaction fee and if the system determines the transaction will be confirmed, we will credit the user without waiting for the transaction confirmation. 
Be careful with this, it's a double-edged sword. I wouldn't be going under that path if I was you. Better to consider halting users' withdrawals until they have more than 3 confirmations. You don't have to implement anything special and you are good to go.


I'm sure they know how to handle the risk, some site credit your deposit without confirmation but of course they will hold the withdrawal when it's not confirm even if the game is already over. One sportsbook I remember doing that too is nitrogensports, that was a long time ago though, but now they change their system, they already required a confirmation before a deposit are credited, only few sportsbook are really giving some kind of special service.

You could also check out what Biden's plans are regarding the legalization of online gambling, as now in many places / states in the states it is illegal to gamble online anywhere. That would be something if Biden wants to change that and I wonder if he gets a lot of support or a lot of counterparts.

Legalizing gambling is not a hard decision to make, the word "legal" gives them the control of the casinos, so we will likely to see more of casinos to be legalized, however, what I want to see is how Biden would react on casinos adding bitcoin as their payment options and crypto casinos operating in his country, it would be big if Biden has positive reaction to that.
