We are going to find out in less than 2 hours, but I'm sure the final game tonight between Germany and Serbia will not be the same as Canada vs. USA, as both teams are displaying great ball movement and defense. I'm excited to see it, and I hope the winner is truly the deserving team. If Team Schröder wins here, I think it will help him a lot with his NBA team; he'll probably get more minutes, and his confidence will boost.

I doubt there is a game fixing in the battle for the bronze. At the very least, it could be that some American players aren't that interested in the 3rd place and will lose the fire in them. But I am pretty sure that their coach Steve Kerr wants to win the 3rd place. This is a challenge to him and he will do everything to enlighten his team in getting a win. The same with Canada, they want this 3rd place and then come back stronger next year in the Paris Olympics with their experience.

Less than an hour already before it starts. I actually have ML bets on Canada and Serbia.

But we never thought that $20k in 2017 is possible, and that's why we look at $100k in 2021, but it didn't happen. So I don't think it might slow down in the future, on the contrary it could really move to even $1 million in the future.

Maybe a couple of halvings, or when all bitcoin has been mined, meaning 99% of it, the price could really go up in the next year or so. But currently we might be look at 6 digits in 2024-2025.

Trading without knowledge will end up like gambling but yes, there are only two possible results either win or lose. But in the situation that we have no trading experience, knowledge, or skill, bigger chances that we will lose. That is why if we want to become successful, we also have to spend more time learning to trade and work hard for it or else, help ourselves to accept that trading is not for us as it is impossible it works if we don't. We must know that the only way to earn a profit from trading is to enhance our capabilities as well which I see many traders feel it just easy.

I would say based on your question you cannot profit this way. Gambling is a game of complete luck where you gamble with the amount you can afford to lose. There is no promise that you will earn $100 per day with $2000. $2000 you use for business without going into gambling but here you can be sure to earn less. So I want to tell you that your $2000 is very valuable to me. Please don't be too greedy and earn less so that you can be safe.

This game has been exciting to watch. It looks like they are evenly matched, and let's remember that the -10.5 handicap given by the USA could even lead to a loss if they cannot control the tempo of the game. If this game remains close until the 4th quarter, then I would say that +10.5 will be easily covered, and we will see a lot of happy bettors here. USA is just overrated, composed of young and inexperienced players, and we expect them to dominate?

It would be worse if his purpose is to replace Davis if he goes down. I think it's better if he would get some minutes alongside Davis so that Davis's risk of getting injured will be reduced. Less minutes mean less risk. The Lakers can't afford to lose Davis. What would happen if Davis suffers a season-ending injury? Would Christian Wood be enough for the Lakers to still be considered a championship team? I believe prevention is always better, and they can start that by limiting Davis's playing time.

Yes you will not earn money apart from your job, as I also said in this forum that gambling should be fun not a place that can make a lot of money, I think it's good if you have thought consciously seeking wealth in gambling it will only be in vain and waste time, wise and intelligent people only play gambling for fun, nothing more than that, winning is a bonus.

I always think that winning is a bonus in gambling so it's not my target to look for that win, usually every day I work to make money sometimes sometimes I need entertainment and I gamble on weekends for that entertainment using my cellphone and enjoying my leisure time, nothing more , fortunately you have realized it before it gets too deep

Avoiding losing a lot of money from gambling is a must so that we are not in a difficult position because losing a lot of money can make us want to recover the lost money and there is a possibility that we will deposit money again. Even though depositing more money into our gambling account does not guarantee that we can recover the previous money lost, it can provide an opportunity to lose more money. We should appreciate our win by stopping immediately and not wanting to chase other wins because that will definitely be difficult to achieve.

And it is true that this depends on how you manage your money while gambling. If you can manage it well, you won't lose much money and can even have some money left to play with another day. And we also don't need to deposit any more money when we want to gamble.

The spread might be overvalued, and since this is a semi-final game, I think I would just bet on the underdog here. Germany is ranked 11, I believe, before the FIBA World Cup, but they have come this far, so I would not underestimate them despite facing the USA. I always consider that the USA lost to Lithuania, and with that in mind, I think I will be betting on Germany's moneyline and its handicap.

Additionally, I will just continue betting on the underdog, not because I believe Serbia is the stronger team, but because I'd like to see Brooks cry, LOL!

Yes, they are not in the same pay grade, and obviously he will be used as a back up for AD in case something happen to him. And so it was interesting to see him with the Lakers though, he didn't have a good playing time with the Dallas and really might not be a good fit for them.

But I do agree, they retain some of their core, and then trade or shift others and then give way to Wood to fill the gap for them. So it will be a different Lakers and hopefully Lebron can still perform at high level at his age.

Sobrang hirap talaga kung sakaling mangyari man. Pero sa tingin ko malabo to mangyari in the near future. Isang big event lang like nuclear wars or maging mali ang pag rotate ng mga planets, moons and stars ang possibling pipigil sa internet.

Pero I wonder kung ano mangyari sakaling biglang ayaw na magwork ang internet. Baka magkagulo ang mundo. Baka mas lumala pa ang mga digmaan.

Greed is a very difficult thing to control. Man will be able to control his greed on the day when there will be no desire for much. Everyone wants to change their position. You have an investment of 1000 dollars and from that 1000 dollar investment your profit is 200 dollars. You want more profit. When you have more profit, your greed will increase and you will wait more to get more profit. It will appear that your investment has lost instead of profit. Then you will understand your greed. If I had sold my investment when the profit was $200, I might not be at a loss now. There is no point in making a mistake and then realizing it, we must first understand and must control greed. If we can control greed then surely we can do good things.

Ok, probably just to silent everything in the Philly camp as there has been a lot of drama on Harden again. So it's good to hear that Joel will stay at least for now and chase that ring for the them.

Yes, Danny Green was huge for them, and I thought that he will going to retire for good. And most likely he will retire as a Sixers. And hopefully he can still hit that 3's because during his prime, he was known to really be a big outside shooter.

I think Christian Wood for the Lakers alongside Anthony Davis might just end up being a recipe for disaster, like Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns partnership at the Timberwolves, except Wood being more of better shot maker outside the perimeter and serve as an insurance policy like you said for when AD is being out than usual or when AD is just off his game and can't dominate the paint like he ought to, I don't know why Dallas Mavericks didn't stick with him as a Center, he's an all round better player than more often useless than not of Center they have in Dwight Powell, who shouldn't even have ever graced a basketball court imo, I felt they've found quite a replacement for Porzingis in Wood, perhaps not a perfect fit, but not quite short-off from general perspective of him being versatile enough to play as a F, C or both combined quite effortlessly.

germany is highly favourite over latvia in this upcoming game. so let's see if they can truly give the expectations of their fans. and that for sure will give a very good challenge to the US team if they will face with germany.
seems that early odds by bookies giving US as  the potential winner of this event may actually come true.

Underestimating might not be the best word to describe the majority take on this fight. We are just looking at the closest possible thing to happen.

Don't get me wrong, even though I'm with Tapales to win the fight, it's still tough for me to think how can he even make an upset against Inoue. The Japanese monster is ahead of everything compared to Tapales. We can't compare Naoya Inoue to Murodjon Akhmadaliev, the one that Tapales upset why he became a champion. We can't also compare this to starting Pacquiao when he was chosen as a replacement to fight Marco Antonio Barrera. Back then, Pacquiao was already showing potential. About Tapales, he just started to become special because of the upset win and becoming a champion.

Tapales has a low chance of beating Inoue but since he's my fellow countrymen, I will put a bet on him to show support.

Unethical move by me? No, it's just that low chance still has a chance.

This is not good for Spence if this is true, if he is going to change it should be a trainer that is better than his current trainer, it will take a lot of time for both of them to familiarize each other they will need a tune-up fight first to fully familiarize or if Roy Jones style and method is suited for Spence.
Spence I believe is devastated he will not think of changing his trainer if he is not, They have gone a long way, and the loss in fact is a big challenge for both of them to improve, Derrick James' replacement just proved that Spence is ready to take a risk just to get even with Crawford.

Good luck, guys! The game has started, and it seems like it's a close one, so there's a chance, hehe. The USA likes to play small ball; maybe Italy has a good strategy to counter their style. The fact that the USA has lost once already indicates they have a weakness that any team could exploit. Italy has also lost once, but we've seen how good they are when they move the ball well, so it could be a 50-50 game.

You can make a more specific framework, for example, tell yourself that now 3 percent of the total deposit for each weekend will go to gambling. And it doesn't matter if you win with this money or lose. If you win, the winnings will need to be returned to the deposit. You can also make yourself relaxed - on holidays, such as New Year or Birthday, you can increase the share allocated to games to 6 percent.

So gambling will be as controlled as possible, the main thing is to always stay within these limits.
