Because they would be trading a excelent player for NBA rookies, that is, it would be something uncertain, because we wouldn't know if the nba rookies will be promising players.

That's what I'm trying to point out. New York Knicks always get a good ticket every year on the rookie draft picks but still none of those picks become excellent. The gamble is still there and getting Donovan Mitchell is worth a gamble. Surrounding Mitchell with good role players is proven to be effective and we see that in his Utah Jazz experience but the only problem is they are choking in the playoffs.

That's part of the risks that lower-tier teams in the NBA should accept. If teams like NYK, will not gamble, nothing will change on their journey every season.

True, just look at OKC since trading PG and Westbrook and even CP3, then have tons of draft picks from trading that player and yet they can't get at least one decent players from the draft pick.

So it will be a huge gamble for the Knicks if they let go RJ and a bunch of draft picks for Donovan Mitchell. Let the Knicks focus on the current roster, I think they are good with Brunson already with Obi Toppin.

Jalen Brunson and Obi Toppin’s connection in workout video will excite Knicks fans.

I also voted for Fury to win the unification fight. Of course Usyk will be bring something that maybe Fury hasn't face before, he is a technical boxer and uses a lot of movement.

But I think Fury will rely on his advantage, his height and length and his ring IQ to solved Usyk and maybe this fight will go to distance with a MD or SD win for Tyson Fury.
Fury will certainly be trying to lean on Usyk trying to weaken him the way he roughed up Wilder but Usyk hardly let Joshua lean on him because he was fluid. Fury will have a lot of reach advantage and will use that jab to much better use than Joshua did over the course of their two fights.

Although if I may add, this might be the first time that we might see Joshua having his match in terms of movement and with fast hands. But then again, that reach and power belongs to Fury and I think he will still rely on that kind of tactics, maybe testing on how Usyk will respond if he roughs him up, putting all his weight on him in the corner . And then Fury's jab will also play a key role. He has fast hands and for sure he can hit Usyk more than Joshua did on their two fights.

Castro ruined a possible OT and that’s a great one for TNT to take the game 1. SMB for sure didn’t expect the result of this one, they have a good run in the first half but failed to sustain that momentum and the result is not good for them. Game 2 will be more challenging for TNT because for sure, SMB is so eager to bounce back and tie the series. It looks like this will be a long series, let’s find out.
It was a great first game for both teams, as expected the game was very close and intense, we can’t just call it a lucky shot from Castro because we know his true potential and with that shot, he was saying that he is still the same great Castro. I won in my first bet and now looking at some odds again and have to analyze the game 1 and see if in game 2, SMB can have a win as well.

Congrats, I guess Castro is really that experience and willing to take those kind of shots. And it was the SMB of the previous series against the Bolts, seems to be dominating but need some push to close a game. So another buzzer beater and great escape by TNT. But then again, this is just the first game, and for sure, SMB will make the necessary adjustments in Game 2. I haven't check the odds yet, but if they are the underdog, I might go with them.

This is very correct and this only can make gamblers to return to casinos many times because they have friends who might be online and they can chat with. When there is consistent interaction between gamblers, they tend to make friends and shares strategies and winnings with other gamblers which can motivate the ones that have been having difficult time with gambling. There are may ways casinos can attract gamblers to join there platform which involves different strategies and technologies.
They are called social gamblers. If you visit a thread here you will see that it's one of the main reasons on why a gambler can go back to a casino that they are playing with. I was one of it actually but im sad now because my old friends are not online anymore. I don't know what happen to them but I hope they are still fine and doing better with their lives now away from gambling. This could be the reason on why I am now rarely playing.

I once tried to make new friends but guess what happened? These new players simply ignored me. While if I try to show my winning bet, everyone in the room will then greet me. This is clear that they only care for the money.

I will agree, although I socialized in landbase casinos, talking with players let say when I'm in a table or someone besides me in a slot machine. But most of the time, some of the individuals specially if they see you winning big will suddenly talk to you and it just shows that maybe they want you to give them tips. But I'm thinking, if I'm not going to win, for sure this guy are not going to approach me. So just be careful from those kind of individuals you will find in the casinos.
4006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 21, 2022, 09:20:09 AM
On the other hand, Loma will be tested here because he hasn't fought for a while. But we have seen him destroying good fighters like Commey and Nakatani in his comeback fight after a shoulder injury and a lost to Kambosos. Now this could be his second coming. But I still think that Loma is still very much in his prime and maybe we will see another great performance.

I think you mean a lost to Lopez mate, Lopez then lost to Kambosos in his mandatory fight.

With a win by Usyk tonight, Ukraine's people must be in the high spirit now and come October it would be Lomachenko's turn to make his people proud. I don't see a Loma loss here because for me this is just a "keep busy" fight for him before fighting for the title next year, a rematch with Lopez might be a good one but i don't think Loma would go up in weight and chase Lopez so a fight with Haney is the way to go.

Yes, similar to what Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire brings when they won, everybody is on a stand still, no crime in the street hehehe.

For those who are interested, here is the video of him arriving in the US. That time there were already news that he will make his comeback but at that time we don't know who is his opponent's name.

You can see in his eyes what the war has brought in him and his native country.

But Westbrook for Irving? That would not happen, he was even traded by the Wizards because he did not fit in their system, in fact, when he got traded Wizards improved, it not only due to the injury problem, they have a chance to be in the playoffs last season.

The problem with Westbrook is he really didn't give much outstanding performance which many fans expect. And he is now the target of bashing then blame him every game they lose so maybe he was so affected with it mentally that's why we see his games so broken. For sure for his past performance many teams will doubt to get him because they might get the same issue with him.

They have a full new season coming, time to fix that doubts and Westbrook has to relive that old Westbrook who is a scoring champ and an MVP as well. It's now or never, because if he still messed up this coming season, Lakers will surely dump him through trade.

At least give Westbrook this new season, if he still below par then obviously he leave no choice for the Lakers, so he maybe in the trading block soon.

So hopefully it will be a new Lakers next season, their big 3 coming healthy and maybe just want to forget last's season poor performance and Westbrook giving his everything to help the Lakers win games and for sure he will eat up statistical numbers specially in the triple double department.

So the replacement of Broner won the fight against Omar Figueroa, not sure if fans have bet on this fight, but I totally skip this one. Lipinets stop Figueroa, his corner and father wave the white flag and ask the referee to stop the fight as his son is taking too much punishment in the hands of Lipinets. He also drops Omar in the second round. Not sure though is this win will have a bearing in the 140 lbs. Possible that Lopez who won over Campa can fight Lipinets as another step up fight for him to be "legitimate" 140 lbs contender, so lets's see.
4009  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: August 21, 2022, 06:53:46 AM
The greatest vulnerability of the past is that they enter a casino and steal all the funds and then the casino has the capacity to respond to each of the players, all the casinos are in danger of that, but if a very large robbery occurs What casinos can be here to respond to that? It is known that a vulnerability is a failure of a casino, but players do not have to pay for that failure or bug.

Perhaps that was in it's infancy, wherein casino's are very vulnerable and maybe they don't have cold wallet and everything is in they hot wallet that's why hackers can get all their money. But security has involved already, and so far vulnerabilities are like people abusing the casino or even some exploits. But it can be quickly patch by the casino if they found out and that individual ban from them. Sometimes though, those exploits turns into a bug bounty for the gamblers.
4010  Economy / Gambling / Re: bitdice delaying everything they can to kyc and withdraw on: August 21, 2022, 05:30:58 AM
anyway, I'm curious, are they now planning on paying all 15 of your withdrawal requests? I saw the post you made after mine that they were processing 7/15 of the withdrawal request you made.
Obviously. They are aware of the fact that their reputation will go into the drain if they don't fix this mess asap which is why they will most probably pay all 15 withdrawal requests.

Their reputation is already in the drained with the whole accusations years ago about their ICO. And then they stop their campaigns and that I think is the long straw for them. Although we've seen that they have overhaul their gambling platform but still they have lost their trust and reputation and then new casino comes along. So it will be hard pressed for them to gain everything back specially with this latest accusation.
4011  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Coins.ph suspended my account without valid reason on: August 21, 2022, 05:07:03 AM
Unfortunately, my level 3 verification account was temporarily flagged by coins.ph since yung proceeds daw ng BTCs ko nanggagaling sa isang gambling establishment, which is prohibited by their TOS. Dahil dito, they limited my withdrawal monthly from p400,000 to only p25,000.
Quick question lang po mga kabayan, May I know kung ano yung dahilan ng paglimit ng withdrawal ng coins sa ganto? I mean, right now nakareceive kasi ako ng enhance verification notification at medjo anxious ako since recently nagdirect withdrawal ako sa gambling platform to coins wallet. May connection po ba yung enhance verification na requirement ni coins.ph sa pag withdraw ko on a gambling website papuntang coins.ph address?

Yun nga ma flag down ang account mo as violating their TOS. At kung nag direct withdrawal ka from gambling site, sooner or later baka ma trace nila. Siguro kung one time baka hindi, pero kung madalas eh baka nga ma trace nila.

Kung enhanced verification request eh matagal tagal na yan, dahil ako hindi ko rin pinansin hanggang hingan na ako ng documents at ibaba rin ang withdrawal limit ko. At so far nga naibalik ko naman sa dati na ang account ko.

So siguro ang advise ko lang eh kung hindi ka pa nakaka pag undergo ng verification eh gawin mo na at wag ka nag mag withdraw direcho from gambling platform->coins.ph account mo.
4012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 20, 2022, 11:25:09 PM
People want to see if Canelo is actually able to beat and maybe even dominate GGG, if he is able to do it then he could clear the doubts that the previous fights created, but he cannot do it then I think this is going to be a slight hit against his reputation.
Even Canelo will show a clearly domination by him against GGG in the trilogy, I wouldn't say Canelo is really prove he's the best boxers since it's different with the first and second fights. It's already have different ages, crowd, luck, situation etc etc and although there will be the fourth or fifth figths, it's still different and can't change the fact GGG was won the first fight.

Yes, that will be the smart move, 160/168 lbs might be suitable for him for now, as there are no fighter in that division that can bring Canelo more millions. 175 is very different, Bivol as we saw how Canelo got destroyed and then Beterviev, another one of those champions that is very big for Canelo and has a bigger puncher power than Bivol. Maybe he will let this two fight first and the winner will be Canelo's target for the belt and obviously it's for the money.
But if Canelo is only stay on super middleweight division, he wouldn't learn and improve himself to become the best boxers. I think Canelo is a challenger person and want to become a GOAT just like Pacquiao, he's not like Mayweather who only looking for money and his clean record.

Yes, I do agree, and Canelo has clean up the 168 lbs division so there is no challenge for him. So he may have to go to light-HW as some point in time. Or even go directly to Bivol after the Canelo fight.

He is chasing a 5th title, to be the one of the great Mexican boxers. And he can still fight maybe in the next 4-5 years so for sure he won't style at super middleweight division.

As long as I'm going to be profitable in my betting that particular day, I don't have a specific numbers in mind though. So maybe < 50%? And lesson is that we shouldn't be greedy in gambling, because we all know that suddenly the tide can change, even if you are on a winning streak and then suddenly you lost one or two, you might want to comeback and bet for more, this had happen to me several times. So it's better to just take any win, regardless of the percentage and then bet on the next game.

4017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 20, 2022, 11:41:45 AM
Yeah that's true, he played 74 games with 27 ppg, 14 rebounds and 8 assists per game as a center. In a league where guards and wings became a lot more important, that dude realized that he has to play in a different type of way to help his teammates because it is not the big guys league anymore to just post up and try to score with that moves, he could pass and score a lot more efficiently by being a Point Center and he became that.

I think Embiid is a bit more closer to old ones but a lot quicker but he didn't play as consistently. The league definitely feels a lot better right now thanks to these big guys and we can watch them play like MVP players again.

Yep, and without Jamal Murray and Porter, he was really showing us what a true center and then some could be. Putting up good numbers, probably in the top 5 of all statistical categories. But his impact could be that not big this season if both Murray and Porter are going to play. But still for sure the main goal of the team is to reach the finals in the West with the healthy big 3 of the Nuggets and not the individual awards that Jokic is gong to win.

I think it's the opposite.  I think his impact could be even bigger with Jamal back running the point.  Teams were focused in on jokic with mp and Jamal out, now they can't.  He might not get as high as numbers as he's had.  But his actual impact can only get better with better players on the floor with him.

Yeah, and it's up to the voting panel on how they are going to see Jokic's contribution that now, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter is going to play. He might have more assists, but for scoring, maybe it will dip because both Murray and Porter might take the bulk as well. So let's see if Jokic can make it 3 in a row, as I have said, it's better to win or even advance as far as the finals with their won version of big 3 in the West.
4018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 20, 2022, 10:39:19 AM
Not a cherry pick but probably a tune up fight for Loma before facing Haney, assuming both of them win.

Hehehe similar reply to @bittraffic, not probably. It certainly is only a tune up fight before his next one in the ring which I speculate might not be for the championship against the winner of Haney vs. Kambosos. It might be Lomachenko's next fight after Ortiz that will be the official championship eliminator. The opponent might also be one of the top 5 ranked lightweight boxers with a name. Ryan Garcia or Isaac Cruz?

Yup, it is going to be a tune up, but I guess he can still directly go to whoever wins in the Haney vs Kambosos fight. He is the original opponent of Kambosos after all. So after this, I'm not expecting Loma to go to another fight and fight for a eliminator. And hopefully it will be Haney because of the style of this two. Let's see if haney can solved the enigma of the Matrix or Hi-Tech, hehehe.

Kaya lang ang bigat eh Tatum at Brown, so KD at Marcus Smart sa Boston hehehe. Yun nga eh winalis sila ng Boston last playoff at ngayon gusto ni Durant lumipat dun, sounds familiar hehehehe.

At ang bet ko nga dyan, paglaruin muna si Durant ng Nets then saka i trade siguro. Depende din kasi sa lalaruin ng ibang superstars, kung panget ang laro nila eh baka pumayag na rin.

Yan din mismo ang nakikita ko na sitwasyon na mananatili muna si Durant sa Nets lalo na ngayon na malapit ng magsimula nag laro sa 22-23 season, malalaman natin yan sa susunod na mga buwan kasi ang ibang team ay nag o-observe lang din sa roster nila kung maganda nga bang kunin si Durant kahit mabigat ang kapalit. Worth it din naman kasi kunin si Durant kaya nga lang di nila matansya ng maayos kasi alam din nila na aalis din naman si Durant kung sakaling di magiging maganda ang takbo ng team.

Yan talaga ang magandang alternative sa ngayon, masdan muna ang takbo ng laro sa simula ng season. Baka magkaroon ng issue ang Boston malay natin, at biglang magiba ihip ng laro ni Tatum, at Brown at ni Smart at baka biglang mapapayag na sila sa trade para ma improve lang ang laro nila. Ganun din ang ibang team na interesado kay Durant katulad ng Phoenix. Kaya ngayon wala munang movement at pakiramdam na lang kay Durant.
4020  Economy / Economics / Re: Effect Of Delayed Gratification On Investment Outcome. on: August 20, 2022, 09:27:26 AM
To delay gratification is in my belief; to forego consumption today for greater prosperity tomorrow or better put, delay today's enjoyment for tomorrows benefit. The benefactors who stick to their strategy, have more consistent performance over time. By finding ways to embolden ones own discipline by either looking away, or by holding your long throat, one can use similar tactics to do the same thing as an investor. Think out a plan. Write it down. Set up automatic deposit or dividend reinvestment plans.


Does it therefore mean that the outcome of an investment can be determined in advance when we delay enjoyment/gratification?

I guess this what separates from success and failure. I mean if you have that kind of mindset, to delay everything and think of a long term plan or goal then it could be gratifying down the line 5-10 years.

For example in bitcoin, right now we are in a bear market, so it's a period of accumulation. But there will be times that you might be tempted to sell off for nothing. So it will take a lot of mental toughness to have that delayed gratification in the next bull run as you might get a huge profit by investing right now.
