I think we don't have another thread about NCAA basketball. Personally, I'm not following NCAA closely, usually I turn it on just on March Madness.
I like NCAA basketball because it's less based on individual players talent like in NBA, coaches have bigger role here. And atmosphere is better here because people come here to support their team, not eat burgers.
But with 30 seconds for attack game flow is slow and sometimes level of it don't look good. You need to know what to watch. Here you can't turn turn on random game and get excitement like in NBA or Euroleague.
BTW, which fiat or crypto bookmaker have lines for NCAA basketball? I only can find lines for NCAA American football...

Ncaa basketball is so much more pure basketball then the NBA.  I use a local site for my ncaa bets so not sure but most big players should offer it.

Picks for tonight:

Duke -23. (Duke is my pick for the Champs they are crazy strong)
Gonzaga -7.  Will be a tough game for them but will throw a flyer on them.

2 picks for tonight.  Memphis -3.5 on the road against the person.  With zion out I don't see how the person can end this skid.  And my second one is the Wizards-4.5 on the road against Orlando.  Orlando is young and gonna lose a lot of games home or away, like the Wizards with Beal just being too much with no one on Orlando good enough to slow him down.  Good luck tonight everyone!

Now a day hundreds of meme coins launching with too much supply and no use case so what do you think about meme coins and will some meme coins survive long or they will all runaway ?

None.  How long do jokes exist?  They stay as long as they get a laugh and when it's all used up it disappears forever, that's exactly what will happen to all these meme coins.  They serve zero purpose, they exist to be pump toys for whales to get more bitcoin.

Is there an advantage in the future? I am optimistic that SHIB's performance is as good as DOGE  Smiley
Can someone explain, thank you Kiss

No, with everything he is in charge of why would he want to run a crap token in his spare time.  He is a known troll and is trolling the doge community and by no means is he supported shib.

There are (as of  now) 14029 cryptocurrencies listed in coinmarketcap.com.
A case has been made (repeatedly) for  the existence of a bubble in the cryptocurrency market.
Yeah, I understand cryptocurrencies are volatile, high risk investments. But, are you guys expecting a market crash anytime soon?

Well yeah but just how soon no one knows.  No market goes up on a linear line there are bull and bears in every market.  And the crypto market won't escape that, it's just the way it is.  Keep your head down, keep DCAing in when you can and keep stacking sats.  In the end you will win.

My picks for today's game:

Cleaveland Cavaliers VS Washington Wizards

Orlando Magic VSBrooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Detroit Piston

New York Knicks VS Milwaukee Bucks

Phoenix Suns VS Portland Trailblazer

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves



I think it is not a bad thing and I think my picks are improving or maybe just dumb luck, but after looking and analyzing teams on their previous matches, their injury reports, suspensions, and the odds that is when I come up with my picks, and right now I have

Won with the Wizards
Lost with the Rockets
Won with Bucks
Won with Suns
Won with the Warriors

I can say I with only 1 losing bet I have slept real tight yesterday and moving forward I will continue with sharing picks that I think may win, here goes,

Charlotte Hornets VS New York Nicks

Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Detroit Piston

New Orleans Pelicans VS Brooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Portland Trailblazer

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns

Golden State Warriors VS Chicago Bulls

Quick picks and will be leaving it here, sorry no analysis, because I am pretty lazy right now.




I actually like the cavs over Detroit in that one.  Cavs are playing real competitive and Detroit has some young guys still getting their feet wet.  Also as much as I like golden state , they are playing a red hot bulls team.  I'd rather just watch that instead of bet it.  And I like the Nets to, New Orleans is spiraling.  Good luck with your bets tomorrow.
3948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 11, 2021, 04:43:07 PM
Here's my pick.

Game: Boston vs Raptors.

I was looking at the stats and I was surprised that Boston has not won a game at home, they are 0-3 so far. Therefore I like to back them tonight to win against the Raptors who are 4-0 on the road. I expect an effort of Boston to get their first home win and hopefully, they'll cover the spread.

Bet : BOSTON -3

Got another big win again, and here's my early pick.

Game : Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz.

Jazz still undefeated at home but I think +9 handicap for the Pacers is too much. This is the 4th road game of the Pacers, of the last 3, they only won 1 game but two of their loses are by 3 points and 4 points only, so +9 is a value for me therefore I'm taking the Pacers here and probably a little bet on the ML.

Good luck!

I'm on the other side.  Between the Jazz and GS they are so strong.  Any game at home under 10 points is a good bet to me.  Just watching the Jazz play I think they are the favorite to win the whole thing.  Inside and out they dominate.  I'm on the Jazz tonight.  Don't like the other 2 games.

I know a few of us managed to grab some of the Hobby Box's available this summer, but will you crack them open OR sell them now/later?
Does $3K-$4K sound like a good price compared to $20K for the X Hobby?  Tongue   I had a newbie to the Cryptocurrency card collecting arena say that the prices will go back down, recently...........we've watched it from day 1. There's been plenty of "Collectors" tell me that these cards would never be worth anything, they said that I was CRAZY!!! lol

Well most of these sell on eBay and the US is moving the tax goalposts on US folks starting next year.  Used to be able to sell up to $20k or 200 items before getting a 1099 tax form.  Now it's only going to be $600 before we get 1099s.  So on top of eBay fees ypu now are gonna get hit with income tax.  If anyone is on the fence of selling now might be a good time before the flip of the new year.


Good info here, I have been studying up on this also. What is interesting is Ebay will issue you the 1099 but it appears up to you to then disclose to IRS. It appears Ebay will not, but will cooperate with IRS if any documentation is requested of them. Agree next year appears messy….

Yep ebay flash sale end of year everyone trying to get in lasties.  Then actually eBay might become of sellers market and get better sales due to sellers drying up.  People will definately be discouraged from selling on eBay, etsy, etc.

And now it's time to pay for the brrrrrrrrrrrrr.!!!!!

^Morris brothers dirty plays should also be given some attention. It's not like this is the first time they hurt somebody or try to hurt them using cheap shots. That's an intentional foul but Morris went overboard using his elbow and knees. The same goes for Jokic fighting back, he could just push Morris first and let him fight face to face.
Nuggets will be up to Pacers today. I don't know how they can put a good game without their star and then MPJ is still out too.

But my bets will not be for them. I know the Nets will try to bounce back after a bad defeat against the Bulls. They had their rest too.
Nets -6.5 vs Magic Over 207.5. Good luck to everyone.



Yeah there isn't many games I like today but I do like the Nets.  I see them at -9 though where did you get them at -6.5?  The other game I like is golden state against the Wolves at -7.  Gotta ride the steph wave especially when they are home.  Funny to see Lakers giving 4 at home to the heat.  Looks like the lines finally caught up with reality.

Trying to see what I can play tonight and not seeing a ton I love either.  My Bulls have been doing a pretty good job this year so far in beating the spread.  They are currently -3.5 vs the Dallas Mavericks tonight and am considering taking some action on that.  I of course am a bit scared of Luka, that dude is just crazy good.  I am also seeing the Nets at -9.  Lakers should start to pick things up, but that is pretty crazy to see.

Yeah I might take the bulls in this too.  Dallas isn't deep and beyond Luka they are very average at best.  Bulls have a lot of options and think they match up well vs Dallas.  Stayimg away from the knick game, Bucks are definitely going to come in pissed after losing to them last week after being up 20+ points.

Tough lines today I might take a game or 2 but definately tough.  Jazz giving 12.5 on the road on a second night of a back to back.  I might actually take Orlando here.  I do like golden state -13 at home against Houston.  I think they route Houston at home.  And even though I'm a knicks fan giving 7.5 at home against Cleveland seems like a lot.  Cleveland has been tough all year.  Might take the cavs, and then hit the Knicks on a ML bet and try to nail the middle.

Hit the cavs and pushed the gs game.

As far as tonight I know the Knicks are on the back end of a back to back, but embid just popped out for testing positive to covid.  Knicks -2 I really like here.  Don't know if the sixers have enough fire power to keep up with the Knicks.  I'm taking the Knicks and taking the under on the game, I expect a sloppy game tonight out of both teams.

Got a trifecta.  First knicks with another win!  Hit the spread and the over was 213, ended up 10-15 under the line.  Tonight its one game (at least for nba) that I like.  Jazz -8.5 at home playing the Hawks who are on game 2 of a road back to back.  This game could end up real ugly.  I kinda like the under on this one too buy just taking a stab at the line at 8.5.  Good luck to everyone!

Definitely, I like this pick, with all the struggles of the Hawks, I don't know if they can beat the Jazz here. Mitchell and company will probably dominate and beat them by a huge number. Since Clarkson struggles on the road, I hope to see him have a good game at home, dropping at least 20 points is good enough to help his team dominate the Hawks.

It's very clear that Hawks gassed out against the GSW, so what more they can give in this game when it's a back to back game for them. Most likely an easy win because fatigue is the main factor to consider why betting against the Hawks is a good idea.

I'm thinking the same thing.  Might actually tease the points up into double digits to get better odds.  I see 117-96 type of game.  Now that Trae isn't getting all those calls when he jumps sideways into defenders hawks are struggling.  And John Collins and capella are going to struggle with Rudy inside.  This is a bad matchup for the Hawks. (I say that and now the Jazz will throw up a stinker lol).

Little bit off 110-98 but pretty dang close.  Hit the spread and the Hawks lost.  As a knick fan couldn't have seen anything better Smiley

Was scared to bet the clips game.  I like the clips but no matter what I do I can't bet against Dame.  Always feels like he is gonna torch for 50 if I bet against him.  Wish he would just become a knick already lol.  Tomorrow is another night!

I am not quite certain what would happen to Odell Beckham Jr., however, the Las Vegas Raiders lost their wide receiver because of alcohol abuse and stupidity. They might get him next season? What other teams have lost or wants to replace their wr1?
New Orleans is one of the teams which need a WR1, Michael Thomas is out for the season and they are the only team that had talks with the Browns about a potential trade for Odell, Seattle is also a team which is been mentioned despite having a good WR core, while New England does not really have a WR1, but can Odell deal with Belichick and his

Odel would be perfect down in New orleans if Winston was still under center.  With Taylor probably going to take the job from Simeon O'Dell will he frustrated there.  Seatle with Lockett and Metcalf are good they don't need him.  New England might actually be a good spot for him.  Another good landing spot for him (for him personally) would be the Ravens.  Not a lot of pressure to be thean, team that needs another receiver, and ultimately in the browns division so he can stick it to him.  But this is definately true, he will eventually run out of chances if he doesn't pipe down.  He fails on another team and people will just look at him like a liability.

PSA #83 population count, 93 cards exist with a PSA 9 grade  Cool



Yes, quoting the pop count as a marketing device doesn't mean a lot, unless the card is a perfect 10 grade. After all, there's only one card on record with a low grade of 6, but that rarity doesn't make it more valuable. (However, it may make the card more embarrassing to own. YMMV.)


Chris@TBPCo.

Thanks Chris, Im a bit new to the whole card thing.

Yep shoot for the 10s no matter the pop.

Defiantely impressive.  As the rest of the card world has shrunk in price the crypto card keeps expanding.  Definately wish I had some unopened boxes to rip.  Would be fun but at these current prices it doesn't make sense.  Rather just straight buy a crypto card.

Kicking up tonight is ncaa basketball.  Don't know if there is another thread (I will lock this if there is).  But some great opening games like usual.  We got Michigan state versus Kansas, and Duke vs Kentucky.

This is coach k's final year with Duke.  Should be a great opening night.  Throwing some sheckles down on the Duke ML.

Anyone else a huge college basketball fan??

Golden State Warriors do look like they are back on a roll. However, I am worried about what could happen when Klay is back. Wiggins is still in that team and normally they clash in position, both of them are Shooting Guards. I am sure they could move Klay to Small Forward if they want to, it is looking a lot like they could do that when he comes back, but with how his injury looking, I am not sure if he will be ready to defend bigger guys, and we all know Wiggins doesn't have the defence required to be there neither.

I am worried that they may have a bad chemistry all together when they are playing. Talking about bad chemistry, Lakers won a game but they looked so tired at the end there, if you are barely beating Charlotte then you are not ready to fight for a title yet at all. They need to get together and be a team but it is taking some time apparently.

Wiggins will be on the pine once klay is back.  Poole will get more run than Wiggins will.  Wiggins will end up getting a 15-20 minute role off the bench so long as the test of the team is healthy.  Curry is covering up how inefficient Wiggins really is.  They should turn him into a 6th or 7th man role and take the pressure off of him.  Maybe that will help him in the long run, kind of what Clarkson has turned into over on the jazz.
