I lost my bet on the Celtics, and just like @morvillz7z said beforehand KD and Kyrie were just too much for the Celtics...

I was actually able to get one better on Lakers vs Mavericks, but that was a very lucky escape with my Lebron's selection, though

Net's is now a real threat, they have already won 2 in a row and they are winning by a huge margin. It seems like the chemistry of Irving and Durant is blending well, they are now the best duo in the NBA, so I think I won't back against them in their succeeding games.

Calvin Abueva is still playing with the Phoenix Fuel Masters in the next 3 years.

With an added motivation in his new max deal with the Fuel Masters, more can be expected from ‘The Beast,’ who, as it was, hardly lost a step even after a 16-month layoff with the way he played in the Philippine Cup bubble.

Calvin Abueva get's a max deal for 3 years, it's impressive and no only us were impressed but the management as well.
Well deserved for him as he was really playing hard during the PBA bubble.

This is crazy. I really thought it was going to be a smooth season.
Events like this may postpone other games if the trace touches other personnel.
And that is because of Harden's irresponsible action.

he was also fined $50,000 due to the violation.

I haven’t made any arb bets yet..
Just won by luck..
Make sense because the odds you shared is the same on most sportsbook have offered, so there's really no chance to arbitrage for you, if there's is (let's say it's possible) you'll only get a very slim chance.
4105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: December 24, 2020, 12:50:39 PM

I'll be looking forward to picks being made here   Wink

Same here, but I can also give my pick but I'm not encouraging people to follow. lol.. I'm not good in sports betting actually, I'll be lying if I'll say I am. I just love people sharing here but I'm not gonna follow blindly as I also know how to analyze games.

So we have no games tomorrow.. we will be back this Christmas, let's give them a break.
4106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 21, 2020, 10:49:51 PM
NBA season is coming back and LA Lakers are probably looking stronger than before with new signings and paying $40 million for Kuzma, so I don't think LA Clippers will have any chance in LA battle.
When they re signed Kuzma, that did not add fire to the team but the other players are. Many are saying that the Lakers roster now is a much improve roster and I can understand the hype since they were coming from an NBA championship, but to say that Clippers has no chance, I think I will disagree with that, Leonard is always an underrated player, so anytime he can make surprises again.

Expect the Clippers to give a tough match up in the regular season opening.

Check on the bookies here and compare the spread the local bookies are offering, if you see some opportunity then go for the arbitrage betting. However, I believe your local bookie are not stupid to give an odds that is not based on the major bookies, I believe they are just also following the point spread from big bookies just like the small bookies or crypto bookies in the space.

I have compared the NCAA spread on the picture in this website https://www.covers.com/sports/ncaab/matchups?selectedDate=2020-12-20
and it seems they are just the same, so no arbitrage opportunity for you.
4108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you rely on the odds when placing bets? on: December 21, 2020, 04:20:52 PM
Relying on odds when placing bets? that could be really risky especially on a live game matches, before I was looking at the odds on live game but that's really risky in just a matter of seconds there will be a huge change on odds and that does mean it's either your bet will win or lose.
OP is not referring to live game matches, he is referring to pre game odds. As you can see in the OP, there's a comparison of odds but actually we should not be talking much about the odds since that how the market works. What we need to talk is on the vital information that would give us an advantage to properly pick who would likely win, whether we are in moneyline, totals or point spread betting.

The success of these three exchange tokens is very normal. They are constantly traded on their own stock exchange. As long as those exchanges exist, these tokens will be valuable. I think it can be invested.
These 3 tokens has over $100 million trading volume individually in respective exchanges they are listed. I believe they are already popular to traders and I think their future is good, among the 3 tokens or coins, I believe BNB is the most profitable but still there's still plenty of room for improvement.

Meanwhile, we have some fresh news.

Andre Paras applies for PBA Rookie Draft

I thought it was Kobe Paras when I read the word Paras. I have not followed his older brother, I only see him in TV as an actor, so I don't know if he really play like his brother or he deserve to be drafted in the PBA.
4111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 21, 2020, 03:09:02 PM
If there are chances, I would put this around 60/40 in favor of Mayweather.
That's too high for Logan Paul, I think the chance is just 90/10, but that is your own opinion, I respect that. If only i can see that kind of odds in the bookies, I would definitely go for Mayweather, I'll be betting heavily as that is a big gift.

Current betting odds

Fighter   Odds
Floyd Mayweather Jr.   -3500
Logan Paul   +1200

Odds for Logan Paul is very attractive if you guys believe he has a shot in winning here.
Your 100 usd will get $1200 in return, though that was really attractive but think about the winning chance of Logan Paul here.

Being tall or big does not say the real chance, it's the skills and Mayweather has it.

This match is ridiculous was this an official fight or just an exhibition match?

Exhibition match only.
4112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ripple ever reach $5 ? on: December 21, 2020, 12:52:49 PM
your target is only $ 5 in altcoin next season?
in my opinion that's a shame, because xrp is potentially more than $ 5, your target should be $ 10,
xrp good coin if you sell it below $ 5 you can regret it

XRP crossing even 1-2 $ will be the big thing as from past few years this coin has being side-lined and investors were just not interested in this coin. Recently it got some traction and reached 0.6$ and fall back again due to the airdrop and might not be easy journey with XRP after this airdrop is done. If it can cross even 2$ then investors will be really happy.

Time will come it will cross at that rate again, however I don't believe it will happen soon, the bullish run of bitcoin does not affect or hype altcoins a lot, it was just affected too little and look what happen to XRP, the hype made it pump but after the airdrop when people starts dumping, then slowly it's going down again.
4113  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will there be a massive BTC dump? on: December 21, 2020, 12:18:44 PM
This 2019-2020 bull run is very different from the bull run we had in 2017. We are expecting a slight price correction before bitcoin hit its new ATH again and after that I don't think that events in 2017 will happen again where bitcoin will drop to $x,xxx mark again. It is safe to assume I think that bitcoin price will still be at $XX,XXX mark after this bull run.
That means not less than $10,000 because it's a 5(x)... If my assumption is correct then I agree with you, it will not drop below $10k even if the market will correct but I believe it will drop at least $20,000 then bitcoin will start to rise again.
4114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are we all fools on believing the word "HOLD"? on: December 21, 2020, 09:32:20 AM
I think it has proven now that we are not fools to believe the word "HODL", however it should be for bitcoin only as it's only bitcoin which is very profitable this time, altcoins maybe dying, like the majority of the altcoins particularly on the coins op is holding. \

The bull run does not even give a sign of relief.
4115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing : Reymart Gaballo vs Emmanuel Rodriguez on December 19th on: December 21, 2020, 08:53:33 AM
Lots of video reaction online about the win of Gaballo, it was really controversial, they need to put an end to this by giving mmanuel Rodriguez a chance for a rematch. Gaballo for sure has learned a lot of lessons here that he can't just rely on his power, he also need to use some technique to still remain effective despite of the style of the opponent which would just score and run.

It was a disappointing game, if only Rodriguez gave a toe to toe fight, the win of Gaballo could be convincing.
4116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big Merchants Now Accepting Bitcoin on: December 20, 2020, 11:09:17 PM
They will accepting bitcoin now because it is trends and the price is very high and once a business accepts bitcoin for sure they get more clients also who use bitcoin maybe they will become their customer.
I am not sure if I will agree with your explanation, I believe merchants would only accept bitcoin if bitcoin is not anymore this volatile, they are into business and they consider bitcoin as a mode of payment only, with this volatility, it's very risky for their business if they don't know how to handle the risk.
4117  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin break its previous ATH record of 20K before end of 2020? on: December 20, 2020, 10:36:57 PM
Well said. You are absolutely right. We all hope that History of 2017 will not be repeated and BTC will continue its upward Journey in coming weeks and months.2017 Rally was totally Speculative but current rally is far different. BTC Halving & Institutional involvement in Cryto space are  the catalyst of this Huge pump in BTC price.
We only discover that it was all hype in 2017 when the price corrected, but prior to that when the market is still bullish, we are fully convince that it's the real adoption that is making the market pumped, so I believe we are in the same scenario, we believe so much in media so might disregard the possibility of the dump which is the result of big correction.

What do you think about this news?

NBA GMs have spoken — Erik Spoelstra is league’s best coach
Did he won the coach of the year award? if so, this is his first time, right?

 Maybe Spoelstra will have a chance to win his first coach of the year award in the next season if the Miami Heat repeats the same result.

That's not easy to do now, lots of players coming back, like Durant and Irving which team is currently the favorites to win in the East. If they Heat were still lucky to win in the East, I still think they wills struggle in the Finals as the west are full or talents.

He didn't get it, but he deserved it because nobody expected such a good performance from the rookies.
Who won the coach of the year last season?

The NBA season will start soon I would like to ask if you will be having the promotion before like "predict the correct score" and the user who got the closest prediction wins. I really like those competition of yours.
They have that before, but it was in the playoffs, I don't know if they'll run a competition in the regular season, but if they'll do, for sure it's a good promotion as I see we also have a lot of NBA fans here.
