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.

It was obvious a fake telegram group, I try to search on their official twitter account and never heard anything about this scam or what. But thanks to the OP for reaching in this community and giving us a warning.

And maybe some of us are in that group or probably wanting to join that so just be very careful. And as you can see in their website: https://pancakeswap.finance/, - there is a warning:

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.
4044  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.
4046  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.
4047  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin scenario crashing to $20.000 - $23.000 on: August 19, 2022, 11:26:18 PM
^^ Just remember most of the time, as we can't predict the price movement, those TA gets invalidated as well. So it doesn't mean that we will get back to $17k as I believed that the bottom is in already. But we might go on another sideway pattern again, as we goes down to $21k, so it could be around $20k-$23k as what the OP have said months ago. I know, it doesn't make sense to go back to the movement again, but it is what it is, that's how bitcoin market work, it's hard to gauge the movement until we crossed the bridge.
4048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 19, 2022, 11:05:08 PM
A good strategy that will convert to a win. Ancajas can regain that title and be a champion again. Also, a good opportunity for the promoters if, in case Ancajas win, they can immediately call for another rematch/trilogy to decide who's really the one who deserves to keep the belt. It's a must for Ancajas or else he will be forgotten, as there are many competitive young fighters who can challenge Martinez if Ancajas failed his attempt to win back his belt.

The other scenario here if Ancajas wins other than the trilogy is that Martinez would go back to his original division and continue depending his belt while Ancajas would go on fighting Ioka which was the original plan of MP Promotions and might also be a chance to avenge the loss of Nietes in the hands of Ioka which for me, Ancajas has the better chance of winning than this fight.

That's what I wanted to see, Ancajas and Ioka, and it was really being groom before Martinez derail everything for Jerwin. That's why Jerwin immediately ask for a rematch because not only to redeem himself, so that he can go back in track for those fights that he is supposed to be getting and of course get the money that he deserves. If Jerwin could have won already, the Ancajas vs Ioka will be in works maybe at the end of the year in Japan. Anyhow, let's wait for Ancajas to take his revenge here.
4049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin (DOGE) Pump Once Again Indicates Collapse of Crypto Market ! on: August 19, 2022, 10:50:30 PM
The pump of memecoins like DOGE or SHIB a couple of days ago was like another funny phenomenon in the stagnating crypto market. But now it seems to be no time for jokes. The fact is that this event once again marked the fall of the crypto market, and it seems that now it can be considered a full-fledged regularity.

Read full details on U.Today
https://u.today/dogecoin-doge-pump-once-again-indicates-collapse-of-crypto-market

The market is really doing good in the last week or so, Bitcoin reaching $25k and then Ethereum at $1900. So for sure, it has a trickle even on DOGE and SHIB and then the usual suspects, pumpers going to work and uses. these two as their vehicles to make money by pumping it early and then waiting for the whole crypto market to catch up, unsuspecting noobs joining, and maybe they think they can make a quick buck out of it. But then again, massive sell-off, DOGE for example is down -12% already. So this is going to repeat itself again and again.

Remember that Adrien Broner supposedly had a comeback fight against Figueroa?

AB withdraw from that fight citing mental health issues,

Quote
To say Adrien Broner's career has had its ups and downs would be an understatement. Now, just days before his planned bout with Omar Figueroa on Showtime Championship Boxing, Broner has announced he is pulling out of their junior welterweight fight because of mental health issues.

https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/adrien-broner-withdraws-from-bout-against-omar-figueroa-amid-struggles-with-mental-health/

He had an outburst when the press conference was held because it's not done on live TV but through video calls.

But then again, when the fight date is near, he suddenly withdraw, and I think AB is done for good now in boxing. His replacement will be Sergey Lipinets.

But according to Figueroa he also suffers from the same mental issue that Broner is undergoing, but still he insist that he should go an fight AB because they already sign a contract. And that's why he is so mad about Broner, but it is what it is, he had Sergey Lipinet now as his opponent.

Figueroa though is still listed as almost 4:1 underdog against the replacement Lipinet. And the over/under is 8.5.
4051  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Ano ang plano niyo ngayong bear market? on: August 19, 2022, 10:11:46 PM
Plan ko is wait muna bumagsak ang crypto ulit kaso the problem dito is medyo matatagalan pa nga sa mga price dumps kasi currently mukhang may bull trap the best and ideal is mag hanap muna ng work at mag ipon to create your own business pag lumagago is good to go for the market crash wala naman kasing solid at permanent income dito sa crypto so good if investment sa reality world muna.

Kadalasan sa mga naghihintay na magdump ang market sa panahong matagal ng nananalanta ang bear market ay hindi na nakakabili dahil kadalasan ay sideway oh di kaya ya mga lower high na ang nangyayari dahil sa mga relief rally.  Mas maganda talaga ang mag DCA dahil at least nakakabili tyo every movement ng market lalo na kung pabagsak ang presyo.  Ito ang kadalasan kong ginagawa  kapag nakikita kong bumabagsak ang presyo ng mga binabantayan kong cryptocurrency.

Tama, baka sa kakaantay eh hindi naman bumaba sa gusto mong presyo kaya mahirap din talaga tong strategy na to. Kaya ang suggestion ng iba eh mag DCA na lang at least swak sa budget mo regardless kung ano ang presyo sa market.

And regarding the pice, mukhang maganda na naman tong opportunity at lumagapak ang presyo sa $21k'ish or baka bumaba pa ng $20k. So magandang buying opportunity to ngayon
4052  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake and odd provider's limits !!!!!! on: August 19, 2022, 09:51:15 PM
Hello,

Since I started betting on Stake I have rarely been disappointed, they have very good promotions, good odds, etc...

But recently, I cannot place a single bet, my stake is almost always rejected (too high). The support told me that unfortunately they cannot do much about it as it is the odd provider that fix limits for an event and for each user. Even on big events just like premier league games I cannot bet with a stake more than 0.2 mBtc (when it is possible).

I had a similar situation with sportsbet.io (odds automatically lowered for my account, banned from some promotions) and they haven't gone backwards since  (more than 8 months).

Has anyone been in this situation and was able to recover afterwards normal betting configuration?

If my situation is never going to be reviewed, I might as well get my funds back right away.




I think the odd provider of both sites does not want to let you play more with higher bets (I don't know your history) but maybe you have won big amounts and thus they have limited you,it is a known procedure learnt from the FIAT bookies like bet365 which has a common procedure to freeze your account once you win 3000 EUR or more.

Stake cannot help you as they have no power over what the odd provider does,if you can play with any bet on slot machines or other directly managed games by Stake this just shows that it is the fault of the odds provider.

Ok So once it is frozen, no hope of recovering correct limits?

Maybe but since your account is somewhat being "mark", they could have observe your betting history moving forward and perhaps if they don't see nothing wrong, chances are they are going to lift the so called limits for your account. But still though, the contention is that it is the odd provider that smells something fishy and they put this kind of rule for their protection, whether from exploits or anything they see players taking advantage of them. As the saying goes, 'the house always win'.

Yes, this is some well known tricks that the casinos have been using for many years now.

There are some casino's that I used to play many years ago that the design of their ceiling is clouds, Lol, forget what casino it was, but it is in Vegas. And for the manufacturer of slot machines, of course the design, the graphics, the sounds is all based on psychology.  Another is casino's serving free drinks, and most of the time there are performers and singers on stage so that you will get what you pay for, to be entertain for hours and as long as you play in the casino, you can get this freebies. But you already paid for them every time you losses your money.

I'm no sure if an expert here will come up and give us the real scores behind. And regarding the "sweeping", I'm not aware of that as well, as far as I know yes there are pots for that particular slots, and if so someone win big and take the jackpot he will be paid and the jackpot price is reset at the baseline money, which means it is back to 0 again and reset and by design, it might take sometime again before that slot will give up the jackpot to some lucky players.

Tanga na lang ng Boston kung papatusin nila yan batang superstars nila yung dalawa at ang value nila after 2 more seasons kung walang major

injuries' malamang mataas pa yan sa value nila ngayon, pabyaan na lang nila si Durant na maghanap ng team or maglaro sa Nets, malalaos na lang

bigla yan kung hindi magbabago attitude nyan, hindi naman na pabata at hindi na rin ganun kalakas katawan nyan.

Tsaka sayang yung ni invest nila kay Tatum, hindi naman sila napahiya dahil dinala naman ni Tatum at Jaylen Brown ang Boston sa finals at muntik na rin nilang masilat ang Golden State, kulang nga lang sila sa experience.

Kaya kung kakagatin nila at papatulan ang gusto nig Nets, back to 0 ulit sila kay Durant at Marcus Smart at baka hindi rin naman agad madala ni KD sila sa finals on manalo ng kahit isang ring.

So regardless of what school he chooses, it's up to him and just like you said, his father is very supportive of his sons and he only want the best for them.

That's the most important thing, we already have Lebron James his father who is going to be a hall of Famer soon, so it's enough to have one in the family. Well, as long as he would just enjoy basketball and let things come around, I mean no pressure, then maybe one day we will see Bronny playing in the NBA and Lebron would be happy cheering for his son.

Yes, and Bronny is still young, so he might as well just enjoy the ride and the attention he is getting. But at the same time, should be following his father's advises for him. Still very raw talent but you can see the potential, after all he has Lebron's DNA and you can see that he has the hoops already.

So hopefully if everything settles down in the next 2 years and it went smooth, we might see the father and son tandem.
4058  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy coins at 17k weeks ago could be the best time to buy on: August 18, 2022, 11:18:40 PM
You might get another chance at this rate, we pull back to the 30 day average.  Seems we have stalled in recent nice uptrend and have to find support nearby or like retrace further the wider action since the June bottom price.   I did think we were alot more positive but that has to be proven not assumed to be correct.  
  Till we beat the recent high and hold it as a low presume neutral at best as the ongoing status for BTC progress.   We move about 2k lower if not holding here I think is a fair downside target.

Yeah, that seems to be the movement for now, we have a pullback to $23k'ish again after as high as $25k jump although that run didn't sustain. So still though, another good time to buy at this price. So if we can get $2k lower, then probably the next break out run could be $25k+$2k up.

So let's see, short term, maybe up until next month, we will be bullish and then from the last month of this year, we will see if we can have this momentum till December.

That's not just about your country and that's not only about bitcoin, most of the governments in the world always blame everyone and everything for their mistakes otherwise they have to accept their mistakes and say sorry for them, even in my country there is the same situation, and the million dollar question to ask from these governments is what about the time before bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, what the reason for their failures and they have nothing to say. they blame and attack to bitcoin and bitcoiners because they are scared of it.

True, the thing is that bitcoin is really on the forefront of every country right now, it's in the discussions and we can see that even world financial governing bodies has something to say with it.

But then again, we have heard this excuses on why they would ban bitcoin for good. And the only one that is going to hurt is the people of those countries who find bitcoin very advantageous like giving them financial freedom. And then suddenly their government will shut it down and put the blame on it because of their incompetency and ineptness.

Ok, it seems that we are going to see Loma back in action, this time it will be against Jamaine Ortiz who beat former champion Jamel Herring recently. We all know that Loma goes back to his hometown Ukraine and enlisted himself to defend the country against the Russians.

But now he is back and continue his boxing career (same with his fellow Ukrainians Usyk who will be fighting AJ in Saudi). Not a cherry pick but probably a tune up fight for Loma before facing Haney, assuming both of them win.

The fight is slated in October.
