New York Liberty VS Chicago Sky SCORE 82 - 86 - WIN

At 1st I thought that the Liberty will win this because 1st half was super for the Liberty and they are so much in the lead, but the Chicago Sky in the 2nd half had taken the lead from them it was a close game actually, and 4th quarter was the time the Sky have to lead the game, Courtney Williams got 12 Marina Mabrey got 17, and Kahleah Copper got 27 points winning a close game and taken the lead for the Sky,

A strong start with the Liberty only to give everything up in the 2nd half, very great two-way executions for the Suns.

if you will look at it, you will think that it can be a good blowout for the Liberty, they've got 17 points lead
after the first half, but Suns slowly cut it up and make a big rally in the fourth to take the lead and snatch
the game, Congrats as you have a perfect selection..

Just wanna say good luck with your investment i wish you get a ton of profit from that investment.
But, i'm choosing to stay away from the meme project like this, i'm more focused on the project who has working product and good utility.
And i guess this project don't have the criteria that i want.


There investors who love taking the big risk if they feel that they can make decent profits.

They are willing to invest and see if they will earn something, meme projects most of the time lead your investment to lose though
in some cases there are meme assets that being pump and bring good profits for those who take the risk, but same with you, it's
better to look for project that have real usages, the chance of making money is possible even if the price movement is slow but
with continues development, your money can grow while holding the project.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 05, 2023, 10:45:04 AM


But for the meantime, we should be enjoying the greatness of Naoya Inoue. This might be his biggest test as he is climbing up in weight. If he shows his power and as he is still about to hit his prime then there is a good chance that he could unify this weight class and this will be his second time to do that. And it's hard to accomplished that in the 4 belt weight era.

I'm anxious to see Inoue in the upper weight division to see if he still carries his power and if he still has the speed he displayed in the past, he has the making of another Pacquiao, Pacquiao started in the lowest division before climbing up and he retains the power and the speed going up until he reaches the super welterweight.
Let's see if Inoue can dominate Fulton as he did in his opponents in the lighter-weight division, Fulton is good but I don't think he is good enough when it comes to speed and skills it will go down on power.

I'm a bit confident that he can, though it's not gonna be an easy adjustments in retaining your speed and power while increasing your weight. But what makes me a bit confident about it is that Inoue has the talent, a one of a kind like the top elite fighters and also the additional weight is just a few pounds that merely can affect his performance.
I'd really love to see Inoue in a higher weight division as there are no more challenging fighters for him in his current division.
I even remember Tank Davis mentioned Inoue as the one of the many boxers he'd love to have a fight with. It's crazy coz Tank is too big for Inoue, but who knows some speculators think they can make it at a catch-weight lol.

We never know, right? He might take that big step if he continues to win and unify all the belts again in this division.

A good record in the making if he can push his way and compete with other elite fighters from different weight division,
boxing fans would love to see another Pacquiao type of fighter. Someone who's not afraid to keep climbing up and
try his best to showcase his talents.

It just matter of time for matic to reach that price, I genuinely think the project is doing well and going places and of course for me matic is one of the best alts in this crypto world. Amazing project, long term vision, good transaction speed and has a ton partnership with big company.
Only people who are patient will be able to enjoy abundant profits from Matic,
yes, even if it doesn't reach $20, I'm sure that on TA, Matic can reach new ATH, maybe at $5 or maybe at $10,
just hold on to Matic if you want to accumulate again, then here's good time.

Patience is what you need to keep holding, and it's true that you can maximize your benefits if you know how to keep your patience.

If you are a fan of this coin or if you truly believe that this coin will pump hard in this upcoming bullrun,
better to keep collecting as the value is not that high compared to the last time high, once the confirmation
of bull season got activated and matic reached another new time high. The profits will be sweet for those who
believe.

but everyone needs money. but many people have the wrong definition of need. finally they make as much money as possible to accumulate wealth. In the end, many are motivated to want to have a lot of money. Unfortunately, the fate of people is different, in the end, some of them make it seem like they can't get anything if they don't have money, this is what causes a lot of money to be misused.
at this time everything needs money, and basically humans want to fulfill all their needs and desires in life so that indeed if you continue to want to fulfill your desires then money will never be enough for someone.
everyone wants a lot of money even though not all of them succeed, that's natural but everyone's ambition is the same.
and in my opinion it is not wrong to use money, fulfilling desires in life is a natural thing to satisfy yourself and also make yourself happy.

Money changes your perception in life. I agree that there are many desires and many things that people wanted to achieve.

With lots of money, they will be able to be satisfy those lusts and they will be able to enjoy, but same with
both of you, not all are capable and not are have that same fate. We will get what we invest in life, if
you are able to find the right path, then it will manifest and it will give you the directions where you may enjoy
your financial capabilities. All depends on how you successfully established your finances.

If you understand more about this, this will be very good and will actually really help in many ways, especially for determining at what rate to set positions or what cryptos to take. but basically, understanding TA is not enough, we also have to understand better how to deal with various fundamental problems which are also quite important to understand. And TA will help you with many things in market analysis. .

But, not all people care about this and still willing to learn adn understand about something new to them. So, they may be able to analyze whatever the market. and

the truth is, most people here don't care about TA. they learned how to trade without this knowledge. as long as you know what you're dealing with, you can execute your order. but if you want to improve your trading profits, better learn some of these TAs, if you want to reduce your losses.
i am also guessing that most old timers here started to trade without knowing any TAs, and then, just learned some later on in their trading journey. or better yet, some don't need TAs as they are using the knowledge what they acquired throughout the years.

Most of the time experienced really teaches us to find ways to gain more knowledge and to continue our journey inside trading.

I see your point and it's undeniable that there are traders who at first they just place their position without knowing TAs
they might win some position and lose some till they learn more and seek for possibility to learn how to anticipate better,
if you really wanted to succeed, you needed to exceed in finding the right ways to invest and execute your trade.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 04, 2023, 09:27:45 AM

It was previously reported that Herro would return in game 3, but if that has changed and he will be back due to urgency, then we still have to carefully analyze his performance as it will be his first game after getting injured in the playoffs.

Yes, we don't know if he will going to be effective after missing games, and with the way Nuggets prepared for them I can say
that it will need a deeper analysis before taking your bet here.

Quote

We don't know what kind of game he can have and how it will affect the team. Honestly, I don't expect much even if he does return.

I got that same impression, and just like said, the defense of Nuggets is really good and effective. They are rotating and not allowing
easy basket for the Heat. The adjustment for Herro is not that much as they have all the pieces for good defense.

Quote

What I would like to see is Jimmy being Jimmy, a superstar who can drop an average of 30+ points like he did against the Bucks.

The impact of Butler will be the best counter if he will activate his cheat mode and starts attacking the basket with strong finished.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 03, 2023, 10:56:40 PM
I don't write that much in this section but what Jokic is doing is really something new, the team looks like one, they have good synergy the ball is going fast and Jokic is perfect center figure for that type of play. I think Nuggets will win the series in convincing fashion.

The first match of the finals has officially gone down in history. Nikola Jokic became the center with the most assists in a single game in NBA Finals history with 14 assists. Also Jokic became the second player in history to score a triple-double in his first game in the NBA Finals. The player who will carry the Nuggets to the finals is already clear. Jokic constantly adds value to his team and i sense a Tim Duncan vibe in him. The Nuggets are very good as a team and their block and steal rates are great. The Miami Heat were comfortable as if they were in a friendly match and were the losing side. The Nuggets dominated the game from start to finish and i think it will be like that throughout the series. Maybe they can reach the championship even without losing in the series.

No surprises here, he said previously in many interviews that he pattern his game on Tim Duncan, but I guess he is a better version of Tim because he can pass the ball and like to involved his team mates more. But the difference is that Tim has many rings and that the San Antonio Spurs are one of the most dominant teams in the 2000's together with the Lakers because of Duncan's play and leadership.

And who knows, maybe the Nuggets if ever they won their first ring will also start a franchise and dynasty like his idol.

So let's see, they have build a momentum and a blue print on how to beat a tough team in Miami Heat.

A better version of Tim, I can agree with that. Jokic talent and skills are really special.

We see him passing the ball and creating his own plays. For me, he is just like a combination of Tim and Dirk
someone who can shoot the ball but also have that good eyesight to find their teammates and work with them
as a playmaker. Let see if how far they'll go after finally making another history to win the first ever title for the
franchise.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 03, 2023, 10:46:46 PM

Rematch? Possible! But if Fulton would see the difference in power and technicality then i do highly doubt that he would really be asking for one.

He is currently in the position of being the champion, so if he were to ask for a rematch in case of a loss, I believe Inoue would grant it. However, you are right that he may not ask for a rematch if he experiences the power of Inoue, as he would be fortunate to last all 12 rounds if he loses the fight. Therefore, it is more likely that a rematch would only happen if Inoue were to request it, as Fulton would be confident since he has already beaten Inoue.

Perhaps, for now, let's not discuss the rematch and instead focus on how the fight unfolds.

If it proves to be competitive, then a rematch becomes highly possible.

As others say, it depends on the outcome of the first fight this July. Of course, initially Fulton doesn't want a rematch, but as you have said, if he felt the power of Inoue or this is just a one side beating, then there will be no rematch I reckon.

Inoue though has a lot in this fight, his undefeated record, his pound for pound status and of course, he doesn't want his fans to be down as this fight is going to be in Japan. For Fulton, a opportunity of a lifetime to face the Monster and him thinking that he could be the first man to stop Naoya or even with by a knockout will be that impressive.

Yeah, both have reasons to excel with their performances,

Inoue, for me, got the pressure here as he will be going to perform in front of his own fans something he really needs to
bring everything to win, the culture of each Japanese fighters are in stake here.

While on the other side, Fulton will defend his title and will try to be the first man to beat Inoue,

I like both to perform just like there's nothing left for them and if possible, to make a good solid exchange of punches.
410  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: June 03, 2023, 11:45:23 AM
Those people have no courtesy and respect to the lenders. When they are in need, the lenders have given them the money they're asking but in return, they intentionally want to default.

Actually, if this happens in the circle of your family and relatives. Then, it's a good riddance as you get rid of those people so that they won't come near again you asking for some money.

And they'll be the one that's ashame of asking that from you again if they didn't pay you their obligation for the loan.

Yeah right, there's an instance that you have no choice but to lend them money but if by chance they will not pay you back.

You have to let it go as they can't look into your eyes and ask for more since you already give them
and you are not willing to let them to barrow again.

It's really hard, especially if the person is close to you and the trust that you give them will be broken
that feeling between you will be damaged, and it's hard to recover that same trust again.
Once is enough but if they try to ask you and didn't paid the first loan they took you, what a shame on them. You've helped them without having a second though and when they're able, they did had a second thought of paying you.

Sometimes you have to be hard on these people even if they've got a pitiful situation. They can't get out of that situation because they don't even think of the feelings of the others that they're asking for loan.

That's why karma has always been real and what you did to others will always come back to you depending if it's a good or bad one like this in borrowing.

Wow, real-talk as it is, but nothing to argue as those people will not learn if they will not bring this kind of things to them.

If you will not be straightforward, then there's nothing to reflect with those kinds of people,
they will keep asking for more loan and will try every chance that they have to make
something out of you and they will just repeat it from time to time.

And as expected by everyone, the Nuggets takes game 1 very easy if I may say that. And as I have said in my prediction, it's a blow out win, double digit lead advantage. Aaron Gordon was the X-factor in this first game and it seems he is enjoying the matchup whether defense or offense that the Heat is putting up on him. The last time the Nuggets lost, it takes a combine Booker and Durant to have a perfect night and beat them. I don't see anyone on Heat's caliber though, although it might take like Butler and Bam to really contribute big in their offense to offset the Nuggets in this series.

Butler and Bam were trying to lift the team, but it was the off-night shooting performances of the rest of the team.

they've been outscored by the Nuggets, that tight defense really bring that big impact to the outcome of the game, Nuggets fans
surely enjoy what they've seen from all the players who step inside the court. They provide what the team needs and give enough
rest for the core players and continue that great performances.
413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 02, 2023, 02:16:20 PM
When Strus keeps on shooting outside, I guess that's the game of Coach Spo that everyone should just keep on shooting as they can't get inside because of Jokic.

I also see that Jimmy and Bam can't do a thing inside because of the tight defense of the Nuggets. But if I were Spo at the beginning of the game when Strus' threes weren't making a thing, I'll have him go outside and replaced by someone who's got a good shooting.

But who's that when most of them were out of luck trying to get a three.

Yes, as even Robinson is not converting those shots, I believe that they are trying outside since the presence of Jokic is really feeling felt.

Same with how you see Heat is really having a hard time making a good shot. Even Butler has a bad
shooting percentage.

Big factor for the Nuggets is the hot hands of the core players from the beginning of the game, Murray, Jokic
and Gordon have a good start and they manage to maintain till the end of the game.
414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: June 01, 2023, 05:12:29 PM
Thanks, it was late to be posted on the bookies it is good that I have seen it last night well I guess it is because there are just a few that are interested in the WNBA which is why we can not blame the bookies for having so much late to be posted,
Nah, maybe I was just too early when I checked the odds at Stake.com. It happens a lot of times even in NBA games when I find myself in the same position with no bets yet for either team bets or the player props. Maybe they just have to make sure about the team's rosters on who's going to play or not.

I won 2 bets today.
Sun versus Fever - Sun ML - win.
Storm versus Liberty - Liberty ML - win.
These two teams had been my favorite when the season started and I think I will keep on betting for them until the season ends.
For Liberty, Breanna Stewart with another monster game, 26 points, and 11 rebounds, and Sabrina Ionescu helped out with 20 points. It's just Jonquel Jones who I had not seen make an offensive game but her minutes are restricted to below 20 minutes so I guess that's why. I have not checked yet on why they are limiting her, perhaps she is feeling some mild injuries.

For the Sun, Brionna Jones with another double-double 19 points and 11 rebounds, that's the 2nd on this season, and the same with Alyssa Thomas 13 points and 17 rebounds. That's her third for this season. Twin monsters.  Grin

I forget to follow the games, but it seems the acquisition of Stewart is working for the Liberty.

They are now 2nd in the East side with 3-1 standing I think that first game loss was just a test in combining or blending players but now with Stewart showing her greatness it seems that they are really working and chemistries between stars are really starting to established. A good chance for them to reach the finals if they will continue this kind of performances, congrats with your winning by the way!

A side job or business can improve your financial stability if it is managed properly. and your time and resources can be referred to businesses to benefit from training that can improve your financial stability. A side job business provides the opportunity to manage your finances. and it will help you to increase your financial resources and proper fixed money system. A side business will give you the skills to work independently. And your job training will allow you to manage your work hours and set appropriate rules. This will improve the financial stability of your side business.
Improving your financial capability also needs to decrease your expenses,

I mean if you already have some side job, better to make sure that you will not add any additional expenses, it's common
that after getting side income the expenses are also increasing because of some changes in how you spend your money,

if you are wise and you can control yourself, you can add more to your savings or add more to finance either your investment
or your business or can be done both, it will surely increase your financial capabilities.
416  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: June 01, 2023, 03:52:47 PM
Most of us like to only borrow when returning it is very difficult, in this case we must pay attention too the job of the person borrowing if you really want to lend it because if it's the wrong person or the person who doesn't have a job we lend it can there will be fraud and not paid looking for reasons that there is nothing to pay

Once you ever engage into borrowing money that leads to your regrettable moment and learn your lesson the hard way after you have been disgraced and embarrassed from the loan shark, people don't have that enough patient to wair for their appropriate time to make things done in life, they also don't look into their current position and situation if they can afford a pay back to the loan they lend, it's not good as well for someone that does not have a steady flow of imcome to emback on taking loan.

Some things that needed to consider before engaging or taking a loan,

There are obligations that you needed to settle unless you will use the money to start up a business or you will going to invest it
which you can potentially earn, but if you will going to use it in a personal satisfaction, time will come that you will regret, most
of the time if you are unstable then the problem will be huge and embarrassment is very possible to happen when the loaning people
starts to humiliate you.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 01, 2023, 03:40:08 PM
Nuggets on Game 1 for me too. Although I doubt the high spreads if it can be covered.

If you believe that they will win in game 1, trust them to cover the spread. Currently, the Moneyline (ML) odds for the Nuggets are only 1.28, so I think that is too low for gambling unless you have great faith in them and would like to bet a decent amount. However, if you're not betting a lot of money, I think -10 with odds of 2.03 would be fine. Sometimes we have doubts about whether the spread will be covered, but often, when we have doubts, it's the easiest bet that we should take.

In the end, you just have to be confident and trust your analysis.

Money line is not that sweet because the Denver Nuggets now are listed as a very heavy favorite because of what seed they've finished the regular season plus they have pulled a stunt that very few can make and that was sweeping a team in a conference finals. So, if you're looking a heavy payout, handicap will be needed but giving a +10 advantage on the Heat might be a bad choice. Nobody can guarantee that of course, so who knows what will happen on their first game.

It's a matter of how you trust your team. If you are a Nuggets fan and you want decent odd, then go for the handicap.

While if you are a Heat fan taking that handicap or the ML, both are sweet though ML if by chance they again upset the home team
for sure, that will really take a trust for them taking the ML.

Just my opinion, and for sure, there are gamblers who are willing to take that, since one shot may bring them very
decent benefits if luck permits.
418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: May 31, 2023, 04:15:42 PM
Naoya Inoue is no doubt already compatible with the 122 division and honestly seems looked overqualified even before entering officially that division. If let's say he loses to Stephen Fulton, it's just that he can't take the champion here but against anyone else in that division, Inoue can surely topped most of those. But I'm sure if he really loses here for real, the fight is a close one and a rematch is probably the next in line.

If Inoue loses this match, then we will all be proven wrong because we are expecting an easy victory for Inoue to claim the championship. I mean no disrespect to Fulton, but when you compare his record to Inoue's, there is a significant difference. So, even though Inoue is the challenger in this fight, many still anticipate his victory.

I wouldn't expect a rematch because I truly believe that we will not witness a closely contested fight. Most likely, the fight will either end early or go the full 12 rounds if Fulton opts to avoid taking risks and decides to focus on surviving rather than engaging in exchanges of punches.

So if there's a rematch, most likely the champ has succeeded in defending his belt.


Possible that it can happen if Fulton will stay in this division, though maybe we might not see any rematch.

Fulton may proceed and continue moving to the next level. I would like to see how both fighters will come out and try to bring the
entertainment that fans wanted them to perform. No reservation but the full power and skills to test which one will end up
winning the fight.
419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 31, 2023, 03:42:24 PM
Althoug I agree with you but I’m still thinking the possibility of choking since this is their first time. No matter how eager they are it’s very hard to win championship if you don’t have a mentality to do it which experience teach players.

You can't dismiss that possibility, considering it's their first time. Although their coach may lack experience in the NBA Finals, we know that Coach Spo is skilled at making the necessary adjustments to secure victory. While people focus on player matchups, it's important to understand that basketball is a team game, not just an individual one. Therefore, there is no such thing as a guaranteed winner in this matchup.

And that's valid, as this sport is a game of team effort, there's no such thing that can guarantee a win here.

Though most of the opinions are based on how both teams perform from their last performances, those assessments can also be
valid in terms of analysing the potential outcomes of each game.

It's more on how you pick the reason behind why you are picking the team and how you can support that with your
research and analysis.,

Both teams can compete, but only one can take the crown.
420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 31, 2023, 03:13:45 PM

Miami heat vs Denver nuggets it will be a good matchup as we all know that both teams are strong enough to prove themselves that they are worthy of That trophy. and the most favorate here is the Denver nuggets as we all know how they play they are too strong that Even Lakers can not compete them. But Miami heat and their star Jimmy Butler want to compete nuggets even they have small lineup than nuggets but still they have a chance to win. And in game 1 we can predict what happen next.

Game 1 may provide us with an indication of what could transpire in the series, but the Nuggets must exercise caution, as the Miami Heat have shown proficiency in snatching victories on the road. In fact, they defeated the Celtics three times on their home court during the Eastern Conference Finals, implying that they could replicate this feat against the Nuggets. Their objective is to secure at least one win on the road to gain a home court advantage, ideally in either Game 1 or Game 2.

That is totally possible judging how the series of the Heat vs Celtics goes, espn.com even gave the Heat a 3% chance to win the series as a sign of underestimating the #8th seed but they forgot that they already defeated and eliminated the #1, so I'm thinking about how could they possibly do that to the Heat when in fact the Celtics is just the #2.
So, anyway, Nuggets must make sure that they won't be making numerous mistakes that could cost them a possible defeat in Game 1 as the Heat already established their efficiency especially if they are given a chance.

Heat will take everything if given a chance, so I agree that Denver needs to be careful.

Game 1 will be the test for both teams. Taking the strong start will give them confidence and will lead them to keep pushing
to win the series. It's something that both mental and physical should coordinate each other to assure that they will bring
the best that they can do to take the upper edge in winning the title.
