Nuggets choked on last quarter, so the game wasn't close. If you don't know how to close a game it's not important how you play first three quarters.
Sixers was double digit ahead in last 2 minutes. The game finished with 5 points difference. People who look at the final score could think the game was close, but it wasn't.
That doesn't happen a lot. Let's just say that Sixers played better that game, but if it was a best of 7 series, I think I would always trust my money on the proven champ. not that I don't like Sixers though, in fact, I'm happy with their performance as they seemed to get better when they offload Harden, so I'm looking forward that they'll continue to impress us beating strong teams, especially in the East.

Anyone can be a professional trader but it is not just by saying it, but also needs actions and courage. Because a lot of people asking it by the problems, they are not even doing harder instead, they take it easy thinking that they can manipulate the market and win. No, not exactly the way it works because even if you know TA, candle stick reading, and learn all trading tools this won't assure your success. Why? That matters in your decision-making and emotional dealing, and most traders fail because of these things.

In trading, it is not just knowing how it works but also, tried adopting the situation and control ourselves.

Quality over quantity is a basic rule of sports betting. Betting on a lot of different games lets you do more in-depth study and analysis. Using this method enables you to make smart choices by analyzing things like odds, team success, and player statistics. It's better to make decisions by selecting carefully do some analyzation.
I hope we can do that as a gambler. In reality, most of us tend to choose putting more bets as that brings more entertainment, we always value first the entertainment before the chances of winning, and when we do that, we are just treating sports betting as a game of luck.

Maybe that's what separates us from the experts, because they know how to control their emotion, they will only put a bet once they are 100% sure, no more messing around, it's a pure business for them.

It's not the player but more on the coaching capabilities, players are competitive but the way they are being rotate is something that
the team needs to adjust, they need to work hand in hand with these lapses.


Absolutely, this has to be emphasized as it's easy to blame the players while in reality it's the coaching staff that are struggling to make an effective team.

I would like to use some example so fans would believe that it's really happening in the present season.

1- The LA Clippers= When Harden was acquired, their struggle was very evident, but look what they become now, they became a championship team already. I would say they are one of the best in the West now, although not yet at the top 3 as per standing.

This is expected as this team is full of superstars, and time will come they'll figure out how to win with the right chemistry.

2- Utah Jazz = It's the present. We are seeing a healthy Utah team and they had a good run. I know you guys had watched their previous games and just like me you are also amaze. So question, did the Jazz played like this before? No, so there's still a chance for the LA Lakers.

However this one is quite surprising as Jazz is not even a playoff team but they are on a big run now. On their winning streak, they include the Bucks, Sixers, and Nuggets as their victims, so I would not be surprise if they'll beat another team like the Boston Celtics as they have been so dominant now.
445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in meme coins is worthy or not? on: January 16, 2024, 08:58:01 AM
Meme coins are profitable during their hype and a good investment choice for short-term goals but we should play them carefully and sell right away when there is profit. I don't say they are worth investing because most of them are scams as well which is why we should have to carefully choose them, take the chance to ride the hype, and make money.

But if our main goal is to hold, never choose them. We can't set aside that their life is too short and when the hype is over, their existence is also over.
Nobody has even talked about Pepe coin and Shiba Inu by now unlike in the past days when social media heated with them.
446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout or wait till the end? on: January 15, 2024, 09:49:29 PM
That will vary in your risk appetite but considering the risk and the chance of having this amount, I don't think anyone could ever say not going to withdraw their fund. I've found it crazy that someone will still hold on and continue gambling and have to remind ourselves that not all the time we are too lucky, we might have today but probably the next days we lose and could empty our wallet.

Greediness is our biggest enemy and many people make wrong decisions and lose a lot. So we must have control of this or else, we are just like those thousands of gamblers who never enjoyed their winning but suffer regrets and desperation.
447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 15, 2024, 12:23:07 PM
Knowing how to stop is the most important thing for a gambler to avoid losing more money. But for a gambler to achieve this cannot be done just by chance, it must start from his discipline to stick to his bankroll, the way he controls himself not to gamble more than he should, and his experience. Usually these are the things that can make a gambler know when they have to stop and not all gamblers can achieve this, even I personally sometimes lose control and gamble above the bankroll that I have set because sometimes it is quite difficult to control myself.
Every gambler must experience some of the points explained in the main thread but because they have reached the point of gambling addiction so they cannot control themselves even though they have set a bankroll to limit the use of funds, I think they need someone to remind them of gambling limits and they must have the determination to Stop gambling before facing high losses. If you want to stop gambling addiction, the simple solution is just to set a fund limit and never deposit funds again after you have lost your daily betting funds.
If we already know when to stop and our limitations, no reason to fall into addiction. Because addiction is the outcome of uncontrolled emotions and greed.
It is very common to happen to gamblers who don't understand gambling. We should be a responsible gambler, a person who knows when to stop when the indications show something is not right, and a certain indication that gambling isn't for us.

Many gamblers continue losing because they are too blind not to see their situation. If we don't have luck gambling or let us say not given a chance to win, we've decided early to stop rather than push ourselves because, in the end, we still lose and keep losing.

Forget about buying an apartment instead, use the money that you currently have to invest more and grow it until you are capable enough to acquire assets. Success is not impossible if we do something in the right way, one step at a time and you'll get what you want. Of course, don't overthink that it will work in just a few days or weeks, most probably it takes years (several years).

I see you have a lot of coins invested, I couldn't say it was wrong but try to cut its number and focus on those most profitable coins. Instead of numbers of different coins, better focus on the quantity.
449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowing Bitcoin price history is important on: January 14, 2024, 09:52:46 PM
Checking charts can be useful, but understanding what caused significant market shifts in the past and calculating how much influence such events have now and in the coming years is also very important.
It is also critical to try to think about what those moves imply, since it is very easy to check the charts and see all the movements that bitcoin made in a matter of seconds, however those movements took months and sometimes a full year to materialize, and living through such movement is a completely different experience than to just look at it on a chart, and anyone that is trying to familiarize themselves with this market needs to remember that soon enough they will have to go through the same experiences, and if they do not go through this process they can be caught with their guard down.
There are a lot of factors that will affect the market movement in the past and in the future but Bitcoin's halving has caused a huge impact on the market.
In the event of the 4-year cycle movement of the market, it gives us an idea of when to buy and when to sell and that is exactly what people are doing now and probably the same thing happen in the future. While people are learning their experience, it also affects the market trends and the stability of the price. 

But we don't just focus on the price history of Bitcoin, we also have to take a look at the transaction fees as it also influence the interest of the people. It probably we have some experience in the past but we also expect some changes due to the changing approach of these new investors. 
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 14, 2024, 03:23:28 AM
when gambling is the last hope for anyone it becomes an addiction, they want to use gambling as the breakthrough for them, not a smart way to become a gambler though.
This often happens in many developing countries where the population is greater than the number of livelihoods. Several gambling companies use this as an opportunity, and open the project there. Developers think that high unemployment rates in that country will add many new users registering on their site and begin gambling. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, because this is a great opportunity, but some time is not effective when we talk about stability. because maybe the money coming in is not that much than build the casino on developed country. There will be more illegal loans opening businesses that will influence the economic country.

That is a sign of the unhealthy economic system of the country because people are desperate and hopeless to find a job due to no opportunities available and through gambling, they rely on their future. That is why even though these gamblers had always lost, they can't still move on because they believe that winning in gambling would change their life forever, and that influences their mindset.

As we can see, most poor people join lotteries and ain't surprising because of their situation.
This is the thing that the government must have to look at.
451  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Maybe future trade is gambling on: January 12, 2024, 08:20:54 PM
I'd say that futures is really a gamble and that's why no newbie should touch it with big amounts of money that they can't afford to lose. Because if they do, it's even riskier than gambling because with gambling you can have your luck but with futures, no luck, no experience and analysis if combined, you're giving away your money and letting the market burn you on an instant basis.
Do you mean it was more than we are gambling?
Well, just to carry over the risk in Futures trading and having an empty knowledge in doing this, it certainly will end up emptying our wallet and easily lose our money. It was just the same in gambling that we are now seeking for luck. But I don't it is right to say that Futures trading is gambling because the main concern now is the user. Even in spot trading, no way you can trade with empty knowledge nor go into war without everything, it simply just lose te battle and die. But if we totally equipped with knowledge and skills, earning a profit is not impossible.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to ride and stop! on: January 12, 2024, 03:04:02 PM
~snip~

It is important to know that gambling does not necessarily give us consecutive wins and for people who think they can win once, they will probably try more to be able to win many times. There is nothing wrong with someone who wants to get more luck, but you also have to be careful if you want to increase your bet. .
Yes, and if gamblers always remember this, the impact of risk in gambling can also be minimized. because he is always aware that winning once doesn't necessarily mean he will win again tomorrow, but for gamblers who are greedy in their pursuit of victory, this is not important to him because he will try to play continuously so that his money increases again. .
Yes, it's natural that every gambler hopes to win and it's true that we have to be careful in acting or making decisions when gambling so that later we don't regret the money we usually bet there.

Our luck never comes always and every day. And we can never expect we be lucky throughout the day as this will just stay quiet sometimes not knowing when it comes again. That is why take the chance while we still have but must stop gambling if we never feel better and keep on losing because that is an indication that the situation is not on our side.

Unfortunately, many gamblers are in the chase of getting back their losses and still continue gambling even if they keep losing. A wrong mindset and decision would also lead to a worse scenario.
453  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We dont own enough bitcoin on: January 12, 2024, 02:13:40 PM
What is enough for you then? Because those who only have limited sources of income and a low budget for investment, are already happy and said enough to have at least some. Maybe if you are a rich person, 1BTC, or 10BTC seems to be enough. A person can invest depending on their capabilities and budget but I don't say they will focus solely on crypto, not a safe one. I'd rather suggest to everyone to spread their investment for some reason and safety assurance.

Even though we saw the continuous growth of Bitcoin we can't assure that everything will go okay in the future. At least having another form of investment could save us from losing all our money.
454  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to check if an altcoin is a scam on: January 12, 2024, 01:28:21 PM
New projects may not always bring high potential. Be careful before participating in new projects that can be scams. New projects must research different sites. All the information about who is managing the project can be found out and then it can be said as expected. New things may go well in the beginning but may also face tough challenges later on.
Nowadays, most new projects are low quality projects or scam projects. It is rather difficult to find out potential projects. Sure, we must be very careful to analyze the new projects and decide to join them. We can't focus on analyzing the whitepaper of the projects only, the developers become smarter to create good whitepaper. Sometimes, the whitepaper of the projects look very convincingly but in reality they are just projects with no clear improvement. And it is true that in some cases, the projects stopped suddenly and there are no more updated information from the teams/developers. As the results, the investors lost their funds because it is stolen by the scammers.

New projects are usually scams and even seeing that a project looks so promising but can't guarantee its success. Because many of those projects turned into scams and ended their journey shortly. Some are gaining hype at the start but after a few days, they're gone. And this is the reason why we can't blame investors for rejecting new projects and with their bad experiences have made up their minds and decided to just choose old coins instead of new ones. In the end, only newcomers thought that new projects could be trusted and regretted later.
455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 12, 2024, 11:51:27 AM
Gambling every day means you are to lose every day and you will definitely lose more tb the wins . And that means you to enrich the casino company with your salary and become the most poorish person in the societ. And If anyone like to gamble then at least one or twice a week is okay. 
Gambling every day is a bad habit. Maybe if we just gamble 1 hour per day, I think that is still acceptable but more than 1 hour that is a big NO NO.
Well, we couldn't say that we are making the casino become rich but these wrong practices will affect our mental health. Yes, while the casinos are benefiting from us, we are also draining our finances which most gamblers never noticed.
Quote
Gambling every day will not give you the luck win. And the lucky win comes once and if it is once then you lose every day to win that wins.

So your loses will be more the one day win. It's like gambling has not done your friend anything.
Luck doesn't just come once but not every day, and not the whole day. If we are lucky today, we can't expect we will still be lucky tomorrow.
456  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you ready for crypto investing in 2024? on: January 12, 2024, 10:24:30 AM
For this year I have invested in new coins, and will probably plan to increase the portfolio I have. However, this year has quite a lot that could make crypto prices rise, especially popular coins. Well, I'm very enthusiastic and believe that this could be a very good year to increase the value of the assets that we own. So, I don't want to miss out. Besides, I think many people have been preparing for this since the end of 2023.
I believe so because I started accumulating some top coins BTC and ETH last 2022 and 2023, I filled my bag already making no purchases anymore this year until the right time to sell. But for those who have not yet filled their bag, then must consider this time before the price skyrockets. We are expecting another bullish soon and this upcoming halving will help for it just like what we have experienced in the previous halving where the impact is remarkable.
Grab the chance and never miss out or else, you will have to wait for another 4 years.
457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 11, 2024, 10:29:18 PM
Sometimes people are always addicted to playing gambling online and this has made them loss alot of funds, due to always topping up theire casino account with there debit card when they loose. and this usually makes them exhaust all there funds.

While those people playing offline in casino halls play with only the little money they have at hand, and that will reduce the risk of over spending. So now my question is this

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?
It's very important to recognize that the choice between online and offline gambling doesn't determine a set spending limit. Surprisingly, some individuals tend to engage in more gambling activities offline than they do online, and both avenues carry similar risks.

For someone struggling with a gambling addiction, the mode of play won't necessarily deter them. They may find ways to fund their online account or continue gambling locally. While having the convenience of funding your betting account can make it more accessible to place bets at any time, it also presents the risk of developing an addiction. Moreover, relying on the funds already available in your gambling account may contribute to a cycle of continuous betting, potentially leading to more significant losses over time. 
That is how gambling addiction ruins our lives and whether it is offline or online casino the results are still the same as overspending happens.
Once we have fallen into addiction, that hard to get out because what is in our mind and what gives us pleasure is to gamble, nothing else. Because most of the casino games are available online, the more it fueled to such addiction as we can access anywhere as long as we have internet. This is why those who want to stop gambling, prefer to stay in a place that internet is not available so they aren't tempted to get back.
458  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best decision you can take on: January 11, 2024, 09:49:17 PM
One of the hallmarks of trading is taking action based on the market.  You should definitely not trade when the market is volatile.  Greed and haste never bring anything good. Even after realizing that the market is not good, if someone creates greedily, it is natural that he will lose everything. But it is very difficult to accept it.  Greed is always difficult to deal with.  But it is not impossible anymore.  It is better to be satisfied with little than to lose everything.  No one will necessarily risk their capital.  When the market is volatile and there is no certainty one should stay away from the market or be left with nothing but regret if all goes wrong.
The volatility of the market is the reason why traders grown and encourage people to join. But if we have that greediness inside, it only leads to failure and losses. Those who do not know contentment in life, especially in trading never succeed. I have had that experience before, I'd never sell my coins seeing that the trend is going high but a sudden drop is very inevitable making me miss the chance. We can't really underestimate the volatility of the market and I learn that earning just a few $$$ in every close trade is enough.
459  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 11, 2024, 12:12:04 PM

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?
The most affected ones are ourselves mentally and physically.

Not to mention a lot but generally, addiction could ruin everything --our future, relationships, and most of all, finances.
Many reports that someone (a gambler) commits suicide after losing millions, some defaulted on loans, some got separated, etc --and this is because of gambling addiction.

So don't try falling into this because it is hard to get out of addiction once you're there.

 - never waits for the market to heat before making an urge to invest. If we are just about to invest, make it happen now and choose the leading coins as much as possible, not meme coins or shitcoins.

 - halving is coming near, let us assume that a huge pump comes next. So we must decide now and never waste the time left before skyrocketing.

Furthermore, investment should not be done in a rush, we must think wisely and spend our money on a worthy investment. Success and profit are the result of choosing the right coins, so be it.
