Since his in the rehabilitation for his injury, I think fans are a bit worried if he still can make it to the MVP race or he will be left behind by his competitors. Since Doncic will still be nursing for his injury, his competitors will be ahead of him in terms of statistical points and that would be hard for him to coup up. Anyways, as long as he can return healthy, the Dallas would be regaining their morale for their goals.

Who would not get worried with that sweet face of him?  Grin
The skills he have is already a plus to us. I love how he played already even before when he is not making those triple doubles.
My wife even told me that I already got a crush on him.  Grin

The guy is just really that good for people to hype his name. Dallas really made a good pick into which player will be the face for their team.
He just did some improvement and it is worth it.
I don't care if I am overreacting over all this things. I just want him back to see those good moves again.  Grin

He better take some time to fully heal before he comes back as he is an important piece on the team.
If he comes back this month, better, but if not, next year would be alright since they still have a good standing.

They are no. 3 now and with the games without him, if the team can at least make 50% win, then they would not drop a lot.
As long as they are in the top 8, the chance is still alive as for sure when Luka comes back, he will help the team to rise in ranking since the injury was just a sprain.

Gambling is popular, and has turned to be a big market, because people believed it to be a way to make more money out of it. Whether it is happening or not, people with hope started to spend big. This risking large number of users caused gambling to have a big market. Very few big rollers truly experience it as a way of making more money while most were just gamblers who try their luck with small amounts.
They are actually aiming for something big, even they will spend a lot of money but they could dare to make it cause that's the only way they could get it. Money and winning the jackpot prize is what they want to get and pretty obvious that gamblers will take the risk of loss for that sake.
For me, I would rather place a small bet with bigger odds so if I will be lucky I could cash out a big amount.
Aiming big needs a big amount of bankroll also, and most of the gamblers don't have that so we are just risking our small money hoping for bigger winning, and with that the odds of winning gets lesser and lesser that's why majority of the gambler loses, some will just eventually lose hope and just stop.

i just notice that we can cash out our bet on sportsbook but is there any requirement about when we can cashout our bet?
Sometimes I see cash out available sometimes not. I still don't really understand how the system is. However, towards the end of the match he will usually be no longer available. So it is important for us to always monitor the status of our bets
There is always a kind of feature in sportsbet, probably because they might have the same odds provider.
Cash out features is good because if you feel you are not confident anymore with your bet, you can still get something and you will not loss, this is good actually for parlay bets with bigger odds.. I have tried the cash out with one bet also but you will be getting a lower amount than your original bet.

that one in the picture is whale in sports betting. 2 btc for a bet, that's insane.
4484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DO YOU feeL THE MARKET WILL CRASH TOO ? on: December 13, 2019, 11:37:37 AM
Speculation without TA like this usually need to be clarified so people or maybe newcomer who just come in this forum not panic because of this. And it is right, if people can see $1000 for bitcoin itself actually will have small chance to happen. Or maybe need big bad news like what op said about ban, thiefs, hacks and etc.

OP's judgement is probably because of the market movement now, as the major altcoins struggled, there's a little hope for the rest of the altcoins and it could possibly crash again, however, he did not understand that market crash is normal since the market will not die, instead it will bounce back at an unexpected time, just like BTC which was declared dead many times.

next time don't accuse like that directly, you better discuss with customer support then screenshot your conversation with the support team for future needs if the problem doesn't go away.
OP was last active June 21, 2019, 06:44:46 PM and he is a newbie and after the he made this thread he doesn't make any reply, so we don't know what the current status now, also there is no clear evidence so I suggest that the mod will just lock this thread to avoid discussion that might be based on speculation only.

There's a lot of prediction from different experts or analyst but it always depends us on which prediction we think will likely to happen.

For starters, he believes that BTC is on its way up to the $1 million mark by the end of 2020 —

But JOHN MCAFEE's prediction for bitcoin to reach $1 million by the end of 2020, this is quite out unrealistic.

Luck or whatever you call it, a win is a win, period.

Cavaliers are desperate to win because they are in a losing streak and they got it today, give them some credit for making the right plays and spurs losing to a bad team doesn't mean they are now a bad team also, it is just like that, a player experience an off time, same with the team.
Even if the spurs are heavily favored, it doesn't mean that they are not vulnerable of losing.
4488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CMC and coingecko on: December 13, 2019, 08:25:35 AM
Both Coinmarketcap and Coingecko are good resource tools that i believe every crypto enthusiasts rely on to check the stats of any cryptocurrency. The difference that i have noted among the two is that Coinmarketcap only lists cryptocurrencies that are being traded on at least two exchanges but coingecko list any coin which has been launched into this space. I don't really know what metrics that coingecko really uses, anybody cares to share with me?
In short, coingecko is more comprehensive while CMC stick to their old format and they will delist the coins if it's also delisted in exchanges that resulted to not passing the requirements of at least traded in two exchanges.

CMC is the first in the space, so it has gain a lot of users compared to coingecko but coingecko is such a great alternative which from time to time we can check if we can't find a particular information in CMC.
4489  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🏀NITROGEN SPORTS | Free Entry to Nitro Squares 🏈Win over 1 BTC this month! 🏀 on: December 13, 2019, 07:57:48 AM
Thanks for the promotion, I participated in "5 BTC* NitroProp: LA Wins" there are only 71 entries thus far, hopefully Lakers and the Clippers combine for at least 110 wins so that 5 BTC will be divided by the participants.

Of course! Both the Lakers and the Clippers are on pace! Just a reminder to you and other 5 BTC* LA Wins Nitro Prop participants, you can submit up to 20 entries on this promo.

I have submitted only one for now but I might add more submission as the season progresses.

Do you have a deadline on the submission of entries?

As of now there are only few submission but it could increase rapidly when they see there's a big chance the clips and the Lakers will hit 100 wins combine.

Looking at Wetrust's price chart, I think we have found a bottom price. It happened in March 19, 2019. The lowest was 0.53 cents, today the price is still almost three times higher at 1.39 cents.

My impression here is that the weak hands or sellers are exhausted. All that is left are the loyal holders because there is no trading volume at all. If there were a little bit of sellers left, they would push the price down back to half a cent even with no volume.

The main reason here is the trading volume, it was delisted in bittrex AFAIR so people panic.
Good days of this project was only when Bittrex still owns the top trading volume in the market and Binance was not created yet, IIRC, that time it was polo and BIttrex who are leading the market and any coins listed in Bittrex are getting hype as this exchange are constantly listing tokens and coins that time.

If the team will try to list in bigger exchange, most probably there will be some positive changes here.
4491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: December 12, 2019, 11:33:25 PM
Imagine making 73-9 record and 3-1 deficit NBA finals and still loss. They just made their team a Meme Team.

I like the hype because this gives a better odds if you bet on the opposing team.
Just like last playoffs, I lose my bet on the Bucks because I was riding with the hype and underestimated the Raptors, this time if they ever get to the Finals, I will not hesitate to bet against them. Lakers or Clippers are my bet in the West to win, and they have two stars in the ring, so they'll have the edge but the hype makes the Bucks he favorites.
4492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: December 12, 2019, 10:40:06 AM

They will come back, and with that said, My pick for tomorrow would be Boston -1.5.

This early, I will take this.

I just look at the line up again and saw that Hayward is back, so they will be in a roll again, a loss is normal but they'll bounce back for sure?
This game could be like a possible playoff match up and I will definitely watch this.

Celtics it is.

First we need to know the meaning of gambling .

https://www.begambleaware.org/understanding-gambling/

Quote
What is gambling?

Gambling is taking part in a game during which you risk money, or something of monetary value, in order to win money or a prize. The outcome of the game is usually down to chance, so when gambling you might leave with less money than you started off with, and sometimes with nothing at all.

based on the definition, we risk money to win money, that's actually the main purpose of gambling, having fun is just the next purpose and it's necessary to have fun so you will last gambling and will not just give regretting you loss money.

Gambling what you can afford to lose is also necessary.
4494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you learn as a gambler? on: December 12, 2019, 09:41:38 AM


As a former addicted gambler I realized that gambling is not the answer if you're desperate to grow your money and should not be our last resort in times like this because there's other way that can be the solution to our problem when it comes to money.

Thank you for sharing your experience and I fully agree with that.
The problem with some gamblers especially the poor is they think that gambling is their ticket to get out from poverty, look at the poor countries,, they thought betting on lottery will solve their problem without realizing their chances of winning, some just like to change or earn money instantly in a risky way.

Being a long time gambler too, I have different experienced, both bad or good and what I learn is just it's always safe to treat gambling as an entertainment than being ambitious to make money.
4495  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin volatility here to stay? on: December 11, 2019, 11:44:32 PM
It seems to me now is the time to buy and not to panic. Although the fall of Bitcoin was insignificant, I think it’s no longer destined to reach 6 thousand or a level lower again this year. So open your wallets soon and buy
Yes now is the best time to buy bitcoin as the price is low which is increasing quickly so better buy no doubt soon you will lose the opportunity as we know crypto use to change it’s a price too fast. We should get invested with some well known and profitable coins like bitcoin and some part of our money into ETH. These coins are worth investing for me.
So you are bullish in Bitcoin, I mean everyone who are bullish will always say it's time to buy bitcoin, well honestly I would say that at the current rate of bitcoin. It's down now and the next thing that would happen based on our expectation is it would bounce back which we hope that it will bounce back strong to continue to rise and will not disappoint us seeing the pump and dump.

$20k is still possible, maybe a year or two and at the current price now, it is still reasonable to hold with that expectation.
4496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: December 11, 2019, 11:05:22 PM
I feel like everytime i share my picks here some mysterious force helps me not to win even with lines carefully selected.

And if i don't post here i usually end up winning lol. I opted out of sharing my games last night and i won. Had 76ers, Heat and Blazers winning first half at 3.27 total combined odds.

Gamblers sometimes are being superstitious, but you should do what you think will help you to win even if we cannot benefit on your win, hehehe.
Good luck on your bet tonight, I'll follow on stadus pick for now but I have my personal pick as well, might share if I am confident I can't disappoint people.

4498  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: if you have 1 btc what would be the coin that you buy and hold ? on: December 11, 2019, 05:34:34 AM
if you have 1 btc.... give us the strong coin that you will invest in and hold it and why
I would suggest you hold half of the BTC and then invest half to altcoins.

I can give you tips on the coins that you should invest but I don't want to be bias recommending coins on my personal holding.
The tip is very simple, invest on coins with active developers and should be listed in decent exchanges with decent volume.

You can check the list of the coins in  https://coinmarketcap.com/ and https://www.coingecko.com/en
they provide useful information which you can use studying this big market.
4499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is the market currently being manipulated? on: December 11, 2019, 04:20:04 AM
Whales control the crypto market, no matter how many regulators intervene in their job. They have one job and that is the reason why 90% of the crypto traders are losers. The top 1 percent is the whales with more than 10000 BTC in their wallets.
Sounds true, the whales are in control of the market, they hold the big portion and the government can't determine the identity of the whales or let them comply with the rules to prevent from manipulation, whales will always be whales, they will continue what they got used to, and it's us who should adjust with them.
4500  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When next bull run happen?? on: December 11, 2019, 04:07:51 AM
what you think guys , before halving , after halving , no bull run

before halving,i guess we will have a high bull come, but after halving price going to low , i think it seems like correction.

Like the normal scenario, there's always hype prior to the event, buy the rumors and sell the news, hopefully we can still do that.
The next halving is near and it's one of the big reason why people believe the market will change and the new bull run will finally arrive, we can't determine what the future would happen but it's good to expect something good out from this coming halving.
