NBA is back after that single day-off. I think the easiest teams to win are Houston and Denver. To make the odds looking better I have Houston -9.5 to over GSW home-court and Denver -7.5 to beat the visiting Pelicans.
Good parlay, if both teams will dominate their opponent, they can cover that spread easily especially the Nuggets that are doing pretty well against a weaker team and Pelicans right now are struggling, it seems like they don't know what direction they are going. Rockets on the road, this is a great challenge for them, but I also like the road team here. Turns out that wasn't a good parlay at all, Rockets even loss against the Warriors by 14 points, that's unbelievable, we all think that Rockets can handle this week team but it seems like Warriors getting a good Christmas present today. |

I think it's not necessary anymore as everyone can be a contributor in the forum, regardless of the rank.
In this forum, there are people who ask and their are people who contribute through their answer, and that's just what we really need.
TBH IMO, some members are just ranking up for them to participate in a signature and to get a good rate, after they rank up, that's it, they stop contributing because they got their ultimate goal already. We just want to see members sharing like a free community that rank does not create a big difference to everyone. my 2 cents.

Merry Christmas everyone, this year has been a good year for me so far, I was able to survive despite of the bad market in overall.
I like to wish for next year, I hope that we will have a good market next year like the full recovery so this forum will be more lively again.
I am also happy that this year I have been active in the forum, I log in regularly and check what is happening, I hope to do the same next year as my life revolves in crypto already.
Advance happy new year too.

Taking any kind of risk could be described as gambling, I guess.
Every gambling player I think is aware of what risks they will get. The biggest risk in gambling is defeat, the greater the loss, the greater the cause they become financially worse. Many people are too optimistic to take advantage when playing gambling, but they will forget that the biggest gambling secret is defeat. Play well, but we also have to be good at managing finances, because losing & winning is a must in gambling. Yes, they are aware of the risk, but after they play another round, they forget to that risk, and they spend too much money without thinking about the chance to get lost. The big risk in gambling is hard to defeat, but we can prevent another loss if we don't stop. So before you lose more money, it is better you can stop yourself from playing gambling, and you will have a chance to save your money. From the very start they are already aware of the risk but they are not afraid of taking risk that is why they are gamblers. When they gamble more and more and they keep losing most of the time, that' gives a challenge to them and they don't give up, that makes them addicted because they are up to the challenge and failed to use their mind and let their emotion take control on them. |

That's something very tempting, if Lakers win this game, they would likely cover that spread. And the fact that they are coming from a big loss against the Nuggets, we can consider the revenge factor here, but they'll bounce back on other team. |

The current market situation is far from bullish.. at the time of posting this Bitcoin is at 7,400 USD.. And it's exactly 1 week before new year. I hope there is a turned around by the time we embrace 2020..Its been a long bearish market and i hope that we can see a bullish market this 2020.!Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
And at this time of posting it's now $7280 and that escalated quickly. A week isn't enough to show that expectation of yours, we might see that bull run by 3rd or 4th quarter of 2020 or by 2021. Think outside the box and more of the possibility that we might get into another bearish market for the time being. It's okay to be stable at that level, bitcoin going down below $7000 is bad IMO. Maybe at the remaining days we will see a surge, probably bitcoin will reach to $8,000 and that's good enough despite of the struggle recently. |

There are some factors like greed, hype, lavish promises that work for the incidents of investors and bounty hunters getting scammed. There are groups of scammers, who give sweet promises and talk big only to scam investors. I find your very useful and informative about avoiding scam projects and stay safe from getting scammed. Thank you for it.
Almost all of the investors are greedy but not all of them are smart, if you are smart and greedy at the same time, you might still be successful investing here, because you know how to play the game in your favor. The problem with some investors are they are greedy and stupid at the same time, they just look at one side which is the reward and look away on the risk. They don't understand the risk and reward in crypto, they think if they invest here, it will be like a money machine that will give instant return. |

the end of the traditional banking is near.
Well, I like to hear that, but the insurance should remain as that's the only reason why I am depositing my money to the bank. Online money can easily be hack, in seconds it's gone while paper money, robbers needs to rob the bank and plan carefully to escape from the security. Online money gives fast transaction but in terms of storing security, its not as secured as the bank is currently offering. |

I don't think we should panic. Look at the charts since the December 2017 high - we fell hugely, but we need to remember we have also recovered quite well. We are all aware of the volatility, but we need to have an eye on the longer term trends as well. Bitcoin and crypto is still moving upwards, it's just that sometimes the road gets quite bumpy.
Many people only think about repeating ATH 2017 without thinking about the recovery that is now happening. if we see we are already in a pretty good recovery from a market that is experiencing a collapse. this will be a long journey for the crypto market to return to ATH or to create a new ATH. Of course because they want to experience again that bull run in 2017. However, for me, I think it's more realistic to just think of the market recover first as the bull run will just come in time, maybe a slow but stable recovery is what we need for now, if we put that in our mind, we will be able to relax and not easily panic when there's a pump and dump because we are confident that those are just temporary and market will eventually recover. |

Right, that's why majority of us are surprised to see them 3x losing in a row. I think Lebron have spoken about load management and he doesn't agree with it. So why is he doing load management, doesn't make any sense at all. So I don't think this is the reason, perhaps he is nursing something and just wanted to rest it.
I don't think this is about a load management, he really has some kind of injury called "thoracic muscle)"... honestly it's my first time to see that kind of injury and according to https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/28859/lebron-james.. he will have to to rest full 5 days.// here's the complete info as per rotoworld. LeBron James (thoracic muscle) is being listed as questionable for Wednesday's Christmas Day matchup with the Clippers.
He sat out Sunday's game, so he'll have had a full five days off coming into the Christmas game and we'd be surprised to see him skip that one. We should get another few updates leading up to Wednesday's game, but if he is able to get back out there, Rajon Rondo would likely return to the second unit.

If I made previous research on a particular match and the betting tip has the same conclusions that I came to I would have more confidence betting on that pair but of course that would depend who the tip comes from.
I would do the same, we don't just fully rely our bet on other people's decision even if he is good in sports betting. I did use a prediction service in the past when I didn't feel like doing much research on the matches I was betting on.
Sometimes it makes us lazy, but the thing is, we cannot fully rely on this kind of service for our lifetime as we don't know how long they will exist and how long they will continue to provide good picks. |

Bucks going to play again tomorrow, its a back to back game but Giannis didn't play a lot of minutes so he is well rested against the Pacers.
We know pacers are also a great team, they beat the Lakers at home (of course Lakers without davis) but this time they'll pay on the road, so do you think guys they'll be able to handle the Pacers easily here?
Note ; indiana in 5 winning streak going to this game.

But Actually I never interested to chase for merits, if someone awards if for my contribution I would accept it gratefully.
Well, that's good to hear from you, I noticed some members who were very actively contributing in the forum by making informational threads but when they rank up to their desired rank, they then stop and calm a bit, glad to know you are not one of them. just enjoy being an active in the forum and you'll surely rank up in time. |

Grammarly is what my friend is using, he is not so fluent in english but he can comprehend well, and that tool is really useful to him.
I like to say congratulations to you for ranking up to full member now, when you are active in making good post, you'll be rewarded by our fellow members and most important from our merit sources, ranking up this days is really a challenge, unlike in our time where you only need activity and posts to rank up.

What recovery? there's a little recovery only, and the market just bounce back a little now and we don't know if it will continue, hopefully it's not gonna be a pump and dum. If we talk about recover, sure BNB had already recover this year as the it's low this year was like $6 and compared to the current price now which is $13, it's already more than 100% of increase. |

ETH like all other crypto suffered badly in the recent savage selling/decline that hit the market this past day or so.
Everything is in red sadly.
That cannot be denied, but we should be alright, there is nothing to worry as we've been in this situation many times in the past, and we've witness also how ETH recover after the struggle, right now, it's just a matter of patience and the right timing to sell when the altcoins season comes. |

Congrats to Bucks and the winning bettors out there. Lakers are not having a great time recently so I understand if some of you are doubting now  . Lakers lose but that does not mean we are doubting the Lakers, it's just one game and this is just a regular season, in the playoffs if they will meet again, it could be a different story. Lakers is still number 1 in ranking in the west, they are in 2 losing streak but they'll surely bounce back. |

Giannis again with the double double. It looks like this will be his normal stats. Lebron had a better record as he got a triple double in this game. 21 points , 12 rebounds and 11 assist but that's nothing compared to Ginnis as he lead his team to win. Guys, I think Bucks are really for real this season, they've matured enough and they learn from their past big mistakes. |

The scam altcoins has affected the overall market value of altcoins.
Not all altcoins are scam but majority are, that's the reality and that's the reason why people choose to invest bitcoin over altcoins and with that reality, it will be hard for altcoins to grow even if it's legit if Bitcoin will not have a bullish run in a stable manner.
