Sucks seeing them lose but it's not shocking.  There are only two super stars on the team as most US super stars decided not to play this time around ( Lebron, Leonard, Curry, Thompson, George, Irving, Davis, Zion, Westbrook, Paul, Harden) and I'm probably forgetting one or two others.  So while it was certainly an impressive win, they were playing a USA "B-Team".  Obviously if the US had all it's stars playing they would destroy everyone like they normally do with ease.  Still hope for Gold though of course.

Yeah and they really have no center presence.  Couple bad shooting games and they are out of the games.  I hate when they build and entire team of shooters.  When time comes to bang down low they can't against certain teams that are beefy down there.

I'm not so familiar with the rules.

Let me ask, is this the first time the USA has lost in the competition? if they win in the succeeding games, do they still have a chance to win that gold medal?

This article might be able to help you, try to read it.

Olympic basketball bracket, explained: How group play, standings work for 2021 tournaments


USA still has a chance though, and I think they can still win the gold medal.

Yeah they can still win this just puts a lot of pressure on them as you can't lose too many games otherwise you will be left out and not qualify for the medal rounds.  Not sure how many games they can lost but it can't be more than one or 2 before you get sent packing.

Dogecoin has been different kinds of low level names in the past and in the present but the altccoin seem to have woken up to prominence and maybe it could keep sustaining the move as some altccoins like bnb, xrp, Ada, ethereum have done. Despite the name calling, the growth of dogecoin has really gone pass many so called promising coins and it is now at the 7th spot in crypto ranking.

Therefore, maybe dogecoin can get to $20,000 and above in 5 years time  Grin Grin just like this user predicted the price of bitcoin in the beginning


Have an idea on how marketcaps work, max,,/circulating supply, block rewards??  There is no situation in which dogecoin could get to a thousand dollars let alone 20k.  It's parameters aren't comparable to bitcoin.  I think ypu need to go back and start at the very beginning of your crypto education and start over because whatever you did to get to starting this thread didn't work.
4403  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin that two people highly esteem on: July 25, 2021, 09:00:41 PM
Lately I've been seeing tweets from Elon Musk and Matt Wallace who very often glorify Dogecoin and even they both seem to dislike BTC and ETH, thus saying that the Dogecoin transaction system is faster and cheaper than BTC and ETH, even Elon Musk himself immediately said that Dogecoin will be superior to Bitcoin and Ethereum after upgrading.
How do you guys react to this kind of thing?

Did you not see his debate with Jack from twitter.  He said he has bitcoin and " some eth and doge".  Doge is fun to tweet about for him.  But he knows where the future is and its not with some scrypt clone joke dog coin.  I mean cmon you can't really believe he thinks doge is anything more than a fun toy right now.

Seems to me like football’s popularity is fading fast. I’m finding more and more basketball fans or fighting fans and less and less football supporters these days. I can’t help but blame their management. Some of it might also have to do with the brutality of the sport and the brain issues being made public by former players, but I feel like they’ve got a long way to go before the NFL figures out a way forward.

Yeah right and that's why American football is being adopted all over the world.


3rd spot nice.  I still have to get payment over.  I will send it over by the end of the weekend.  Have we figured out a draft date yet?  Can't wait for the season to start feels like forever ago last season ended.  Looking forward to the giants competing for a solid playoff spot this year.


Shit man I thought I was doomed being a Pats fan but in comparison I feel blessed!

At least we can both be happy we're not Jets fans!



8th pick      DireWolfM14

Okay, so the hash-gods are plotting against me?  Typical, after such a difficult childhood.  I've had to deal with adversity all my life.  My mother abandoned me on a daily basis, leaving me to fend for myself among other uneducated derelicts and screaming yard-duties.  These traumatic experiences only strengthened my will, not only to survive, but to also succeed.  

Draft order is a bit over rated, I think I've done best drafting 5th overall and have gotten screwed the couple times I drafted first.
2 picks in a row can be an advantage.




Patriots fan, must not be a fan of the NFL east then  Grin

All kidding aside tom has put on a show from 2000 to today.  That's a tough spot to fill now that he is gone.  Personal opinion everyone said it was bellicheck but now that Tom is gone true colors gonna shine.  Bill should have retired the day that Tom left for florida.

The next season is so far away and I saw on social media that people are already praying and telling that Clippers will win next year. Now , let me be very clear when I say that Clippers will struggle again and it might be the last year for Kawhi there.

Its there fans asking that to happen and its pretty normal.

But I don't like the idea of leaving if they didn't win a championshio since if kawhi like that to happen well he should help his team if not on stats maybe to helo them increase there morale in the game but this championship winning is kinda not gonna happen for then next year since solid teams are still intact to their team and he will strugle if he just rant and asking for good perfornance to his teammates.

Clippers do struggle because of the injury of Leonard, if he was healthy, then we might see a different result in the NBA Finals as they will be likely the favorites to win the championship. let us not forget that Kawhi beat Giannis' team when he was still playing with the Toronto Raptors and on the same year, he led the Raptors to achieve their first championship.

Yeah the game will be totally different if Kawhi is healthy but it looks like he always got injured in crucial games   Cheesy maybe he need to adjust on the game so that he can last on his play off run. Also we cannot compare the  raptors rooster to bucks before since even then Raptors have solid players which can able to win a champ without Kawhi, Siakam and Vanvleet also got huge contribution to that past championship compare to know where seems the Clippers rooster are so relying to Kawhi since George is a season player.

I would nor.ally agree with you but George played great.  If kahwi was healthy it certainly been a different series with the Suns.  Suns might have still won but kahwi going down was huge.

Would be interested if the potential buyer came on here to vouch for the seller.  It does amaze me that people don't use or don't want to use escrow.  For years it has worked flawlessly.

Maybe this wasn't a scam but I'd like to think 9 out of 10 trades from relatively innactive traders that refuse escrow is a scam. 


my issue is his name is blockforge which is a knockoff of https://blokforge.com/


blokforge.com is real and legit.

I doubt the seller here is real or legit.

Yeah Iean I agree with you here Phil, wasn't expecting anything but a new account to come on here and say they successfully bought it for the vouch.  I find it funny that this places works excellent when escrow is used and when done right everyone alwaysales out between the buyer and seller, but people who don't want to use escrow get upset when you claim it's probably a scam.  I mean the "you send first and then not deliver" has been going on for years here no matter the price.

stay aware!

i was playing high stakes plo HU around 10/20€
against "AliceLady" was up to 3k€ish after 1.5hours

and then the user "Brutus"joined the table.

in following 50minutes
they do not play each other to showdown @ river  when i was folding before "preflop or on the flop". same patterns one of them folds 100% before showdown.

showdown only against me one of two of them all the time.
no showdown to 3rd. only 2nd with me.

for me its clear teamplay&collusion.
i wrote to support & review department,
i got the message now, all fine. < - biggest joke ive ever heard.

How is it possible to play 50minutes 3handed!! omaha!!
and these two accounts going to showdown "zero times"


in my mind, only employee & friend accounts

https://www.reddit.com/r/nitrogensports/comments/m9xhdt/nitergen_sports_poker_cheatedrigged/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body

etc.


otherwise they wont be refund me until Brutus joined table.










Yep that's sketch.  I won't play poker online for this reason.  There are people always looking to exploit the system, I don't like playing with the odds stacked up against me.  Play in person and if I can't then oh well no poker for me.  This has been going on for years with online poker nothing new.
4411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best altcoins to hold during a bear market? on: July 22, 2021, 09:45:08 PM
Honestly you only want to hold onto strong coins, but generally speaking you don't want that many altcoins at all.  Bitcoin is always safest on the way down.  Whatever you do don't hold on to brand new coins as those most of the time get wiped off the board.
4412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are MEME Coins A NEW Trend on: July 22, 2021, 09:41:14 PM
With the rise of Doge Coin, there have been countless MEME coins launch on different platform.
What are you thoughts on meme coins? Are they bad for the industry? Or Are they a gateway drug for newbies to enter the game?
Dogecoin is inseparable from how its creator gave birth to cryptocurrency. In the past dogecoin was a meme coin in crypto currency but valued not because of scarcity and supported by buyers who are constantly buying new dogecoins in circulation to maintain their value, now popular and in demand by many people, my opinion of meme coin is a concern in the market, for me to get this profit no problem, more and more coin demand will trend in the market.

These mecoins (including doge) provide zero to the current market of coins.  They are all just ways for people to trade to get more bitcoin.  The constant block reward of 10,000 doge every minute will be the death of that coin.  There is no way to continually sustain it.  You constantly need more buyers but when it plateaus the bottom will be so hard because the selling pressure will just keep coming.
4413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Million dollar win on $15 parlay whoa on: July 22, 2021, 07:15:41 PM
Dont retire but reduce hours would be nice for anyone, worst thing would be to better off but somehow feel worse.  The rich mans curse, personally I would not rate 1 mil as retire money its more likely buy a decent house and not be in debt.   The smart use of money is always reduce bills not spending as costs can increase if you buy alot of things which require maintenance and insurance and so on.   I'd like to think whoever won this parlay had spent alot of time thinking about it, calculating and so was smarter then the average better and the average lottery winner who does nothing but be the target not determiner of good luck.

I am sure that this win is pure luck and not a result of calculations. If we assume that he figured it out, then his decision to bet on the express instead of single bets is super stupid. Because no matter what calculations he makes, there is always an accident and his magnificent plan could be destroyed by just one event. For the sake of reliability, he had to bet on single events. In this case, he would have won less, but more reliably.
How come when some people got winning you said lucky? they have give great predicting about some football match and there are not any word of lucky when some one got hack pot. How ever every match they have checking how possibility result, they have check previous result from every match and this become his recommended to take what score result in some match.

Winning $1mil on a $15 bet is nothing but lucky.  I mean yeah you try to throw some knowledge on it but if it was t luck it would be repeated all the time right?  Anyone who tells you something like that is calculated either hasn't ever made a bet like this or has no idea what they are talking about in terms of odds of something like this happening.  You can calculate a 1 in 100k chance bet.

I am not investing in Bitcoin, I am staying with Altcoins

Why I am choosing altcoins is because bitcoin is now too much volatile and there is too much hype regarding Bitcoin, Altcoins will be recovered soon and will be hitting to new highs, but in case of Bitcoin, We are not sure that when this bubble explodes. Since we are not sure, investment in altcoin is only the safest option.

Did I just read this correctly?  Alts are always much more volatile than bitcoin lol.  Just wait until your first massive bear market we go into.  95% of these alts will be dumped into nothingness and will be abandoned, happens every bear market.  Most of them only exist as a trading toy to get more bitcoin.  
4415  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Altcoin Safe for Investment on: July 22, 2021, 06:29:12 PM
In now days too much Altcoin Project are Launching one by one and all of them claim that invest in his project because we will be successful in upcoming days but in the end they run away and make a scam. They don't woory about people fund and stole them.
So how we can trust on altcoin to give us profit after investment. Because most of them become Scam and Scam. All of them has one Aim how to stole too much fund .
So how we make altcoin investment safe ?

Altcoins aren't and won't ever be safe.  The reason some people are insane gains or losses represents the volatility or risk involved.  Anything that has huge gains won't be safe otherwise everyone would buy in right?  In general the higher the risk the higher the possible gains or loss and vice versa the safer an investment is the smaller the possible gains or losses will be.

Olympic soccer(football) is much different than all other major soccer events.  Because the team barely resembles a typical national team it's hard to get a feel in such a small amount of time together on who would have  an advantage over the other team.  Betting on Olympic soccer seems to be a dart throw to me I wouldn't go near it.
4417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 22, 2021, 06:22:21 PM
Just awkward and funny to think though, Booker + Middleton + Holiday all Olympic bound and could possibility in the same plane going to Japan.  Grin. Last game they tried to kill each other and now they are team mates and possible to bring home another Olympic basketball gold for the US team.  Grin.

I also read rumours of CP3 or Russell Westbrook teaming up in Lakers jersey. For now it's a fantasy, but who knows, maybe Westbrook is willing to be traded again in the West. But it will cost a lot from the Lakers.

In the end all these guys all hang together there isn't many rivalries like their was in the 80s and 90s.  These guys allele millions and in the end all probably party with each other lol.  There are some outliers but the guys on these 2 tes don't really have a continual hate for each other.  Of course things get heated in a game but long term meh.

Your opinion is needed concerning the above topic.

As with anything else you have fools with doctorates and you have geniuses who never stepped foot in a college.  It's all dependent on the person.  Given the same person I would have to think it only helps but if that same person is inclined to learn about a particular subject you don't necessarily need a school for that.
4419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 21, 2021, 10:04:53 PM
Social media is already going crazy with rumors about who is next to join the Lakers. Christ Paul, Russell Westbrook, & Damian Lillard all being mentioned as strong candidates. Personally, I’m not sure we’ll see Chris Paul opt out of his contract. He’s got too much money left. I don’t think they have the assets to get Dame either. Westbrook looks like a decent possibility today though. It would be an interesting pairing with LeBron. I don’t think they fit well together but the talent level would be amazing.

I just seen a mock draft (only for fun) that had all sorts of trades.  One of them with Lillard going to Philly and Simmons going to Sacramento in a 3 te trade.  Bunch of picks flying around.  But imagine Lillard on that squad.  They would be nasty.  Being a knick fan this would suck.  Lillard is my favorite player not on the Knicks.  Wish somehow he could go to the Knicks.  That would be the key piece someone who can score when no one else is scoring (like this past playoffs)

I'd be happier if Lillard will go to the 76ers as they really need a good point guard that could score and carry the team. They had Embiid as their best player and he will dominate inside, sure with Lillard's ability to drive the ball and good 3 point shooting, 76ers will be a scary team come next season.

For sure.  Dame is what that team needs, I'm not a proponent of giving up multiple future first round picks but they are really a win now team.  Giving up signs and some picks I'd do in a heartbeat.  They were good this year, with dame on the team sixers would be the game on everyone's schedule they don't want to see.
