I think you've got to be betting Boston here.  While Miami is going to try and bounce back, there are just too many things on Boston's side at the moment.  I'd be a little worried to have money riding on the Heat after the way they looked on the last game.  I think with the defensive player of the year back, Miami is having a hard time getting the ball in the hole.  I'm expecting Boston to take all their home games in the series so long as they can keep their main guys healthy and Taytum keeps scoring like an elite player.
Thinking about going against the flow. I believe Jimmy Butler loves fighting back when being cornered. It's not an ideal bet but I guess it's my instincts telling me to go bet for them. Going for Heat ML.
They will play harder than Game 2, that's for sure. The defense will be better and I think Coach Spo does have a card up in his sleeve to provide a higher winning chance. Risky Moneyline but it will be worth it if they claim the win.
Over 206.5 seems to be an easy score to reach.

Edit: Look out!

Kyle Lowry might play. I also saw his name in player props.


Great news for the Heat, and actually, as per this update, I think it's already confirmed.

Kyle Lowry is on track to make his return for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics

The line has not moved significantly yet, but it doesn't matter now, it's still a great news for the Heat, so let's see if Lowry could give a good minutes for the Heat who were badly beaten in game 2.


I think I will just wait until game time, just to make sure that he will play. I don't expect him to be a big threat on the offense but only on the defensive side and if he will bring the ball, that would help the heat to have a good ball rotation. No Butler all the time, everyone has to stepped up as that's the only way they can match the Celtics' offense.

True, I think his presence might be enough though, Gabe Vincent is good no question about it, but when we talk about experience and leadership, Kyle should be the one stepping up. Maybe limited minutes of him to be in the court, but I would say that it will help a lot to drive the offense for the Heat. I might go with the +6.5 for the Heat. Maybe the Celtics will win this game 3, but it's going to be close.

Congrats mate, big win by the Heat, though Butler did not return in the 2nd half, but they still manage the win. Kyle Lowry only made 11 points but his contribution on the defensive side is very appreciated, he had 4 steals in the game, that's super good already.

For those who are worried about Butler status, as per report, he is likely to play in game 4.

Thanks mate, I was wrong though, I thought that it will be Jimmy to carry the team but it was Bam Adebayo who did it for them. Kyle Lowry too as I have said will be a big influence and surely he did a lot and contribute with his assists and steals to help them get a 2-1 advantage Hopefully Butler and Tatum can get back in game 4 and make the game very exciting.

^^ Ayos ako naman eh talagang -6.5 before the game at hindi na nakataya ng live betting. Ang lupit ng GSW, from 19 points down at bumalik sa 3rd at 4th quarter. Parang mahihirapan na ang Mavs dito.

Ngayon Miami Heat vs Celtics, didiin parin ako sa +5.5 sa Heat 1.99 maganda ganda pang odds. Baka pilitin ni Butler ang game na to sa kanila.

So here we go to the game 3.

Celtics are playing at home, and the current spread is -6.5.
IMO, I think Celtics here are just overvalued, yes, they won game 2 and dominated the Heat, but this is just another game, and we know that Heat will certainly make an adjustment, so I have a big feeling that we will not see the same scenario in game 2 as Heat will try to make it a close game.

Honestly, I'm a bit hesitant taking that -6.5. I would be okay if they came from a close game win or a loss, but they came from a huge victory which people might think they'll easily win this game and that most bets might be going with the Celtics, therefore I think I will lean on the heat with handicap betting.

Same here mate, not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger at -6.5 although the like has move a bit from 2.x to 1.9 hours before the game.

Heat is a good team in adjusting, they have the experienced under coach Spo so I think this will be a different outcome in game 3. And if we see Lowry orchestrating the offense for the Heat, this could be a close one.

This downtrend has been detrimental to my health (mental health). Exactly %70 just now. No lunch money type of money either.

Have we ever experienced this kind of downtrend before?? What's the latest on how long this might last, or if it's even going to recover.

I'm sorry to hear about your health though and hopefully you can recover. Not sure when you enter you, maybe it was about the end of bull run?

As for me, yeah, seen the last bull run in 2017 and then the subsequent bear market that followed, 2018-2020 and it was really hard. Nevertheless it has bounce back late 2020-2021. So that's kinda what the trend is, bears/bulls. So right now we are in a bear market so again, another difficult and painful period, but we should stay resilience and have the patience to be in the market still despite the price of bitcoin and the rest of the crypto are falling hard.

I expected to see Heat winning the second game as well but Celtics didn't let it happen. It looks like they had their lesson from the first game and prepared much better for this one. Because their performance was really extraordinary this time. They simply destroyed Heat by a result like 127-102. And the most important thing that helped them win this comfortably was that each one of the Tatum-Brown-Smart trio scored 24 points or higher. G. Williams also made a significant contribution by 19 points. Heat couldn't answer them in the same way and the series is 1-1 now.
They actually had a good 1st half-game in the first game but the Heat respond in the 3rd quarter by dominating the Celtics. In the 2nd game, Celtics made sure that Heat would not do it to them again as they are successful in controlling the game, especially in the 3rd quarter.

After the series is tied, Heat looks like they don't stand a chance of beating the Celtics anymore.
Anyway, Celtics still needs to win 3 games to advance, so it's still too early to conclude.

That has been the trend in the first 2 games, Heat starting very slow in the first two quarter. They were able to overcome and win the first game, but the second one? it is not the same as the Celtics made sure there will no huge 3rd quarter comeback from the Heat. And it boils down how the Celtics put a defensive pressure on Butler and the rest of the Heat, no easy look, no easy basket. While on the other hand, they score whatever, whenever they want, inside, outside, doesn't matter.
4627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 20, 2022, 10:33:48 PM
Next game I have Dallas +6.5.
This is a sharp bet. Everyone is on the Warriors in game 2, even myself felt that Warriors would easily beat the Mavericks in game 2, but my mind says that what if it's another trap, so I'll probably go with you mate, no looking back now.
That's the spirit!  Wink Although I am betting against it. Warriors -6.5.
But I am intrigued by how the Mavericks will be adjusting to this game. They don't need to go back to their homecourt to show it. Do it as fast as possible and shock the Warriors with how flexible they can be and their bench.
Expecting a close game in the first half but we know how magical the Warriors can be in the 2nd half. Splash brothers are still not showing their true performance yet.

I also have the Warriors at -6.5. It will still be the same formula, Wiggins to guard Luka early and make his work on defense. Then let him operate in his sweet spot at the left and then flank him when he goes inside. If he find the open team mate and they making shots then Warriors will adjust. If Mavs are going to shot poorly again, then maybe the Warriors can win in double digits and make it 2-0.
4628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 20, 2022, 10:11:16 PM
With that kind of ball rotations and aggressiveness defending every shots, Boston has a better shot now

to move forward and represent the East side, I agree with both your compliment with how Smart play today he really helps a lot
he is a two-way player who can guard scorer and also provide good offense.

This win will give them the upper hand in this series. If they can win a 2-straight game at home, it will be more difficult for the Heat
to recover.
Boston has been good for a long time, but that doesn't mean that Boston will win this series just because they had one good game, the series are tied to 1-1 and that means that we should be focusing a bit more towards how equal they are.

The difference between the teams is that Celtics play a much better defense, this could be something that decides the result but at the same time Heat is playing a much better ball movement at the same and they are a better team players all around so that makes a good winning team. So, we do not know which part of it will be much better, we are just assuming that any of them would be a bit different.

And just like most of the series, that this two team have played, they know how to adjust their game and win games.

So it's time for the Heat to make the necessary adjustments. They've seen the Boston shooting very well, so they will have to go on rotation very quick to cover the shooters and then don't let others penetrate the basket very easily, in short they lack the intensity they have in the first game. So for sure, the Heat is going to be very tight in their defense next game regardless in home or in the road and should not allow the Boston to take a huge series lead.

Hello.what about bitcoin smarter???is it safe?is it real u can withdraw your money anytime u want?does it work for an absolute beginner?does it sound too good to be true?
Thanks! Roll Eyes

Is this a trading tool or app? If it is then as newbie, it is not even recommended to use it because obviously you don't even have the basic experience to do manual trading, what's more using a tool that is going to be very difficult to use for a beginner. So my advise is, regardless if it is legit or scam, is to stay away from it and learn and understand how crypto trading works and gain some experience first.
4630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 19, 2022, 11:54:52 PM
I will be leaning towards the -1.5 handicap for the Heat in game 2. And this could turn into an ugly defensive game as both will try to lock in each players, Tatum (Boston), and Butler (Heat). So maybe a lot of fouls early and turning to be a very physical one. But both teams are build in this kind of game, but with the Heat's experience they can pull it off again, in a very contested game.
4631  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: May 19, 2022, 11:31:13 PM
Game 2 Celtics vs Heat. Sa Miami Heat parin ako, -1.5 at low scoring game to. Mag aadjust ang Celtics at hindi na magpapatambak. At sa tingin ko defensive game to mangyayari pero sa dulo kakapusin parin ang Celtics dahil ang experience ng Heat ang magdadala sa panalo.

Of course it will have a effect on Devin Haney as his father has guided him to many fights and this is the biggest. Nevertheless he will have Yoel Judah to guide him, so for sure they have set up a game plan and have communicated everything that they need to do in this fight. As for the judges, I don't want to speculate, on it, everything is on Haney's hand if he doesn't want the fight goes to the judges decision.
4633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 31st South East Asian Games on: May 17, 2022, 02:50:05 AM

But I heard that the television ratings of the Olympic Games are also declining, which would be illogical even in a pandemic if you believe that interest in such competitions remains at least at the same level.
Quite an interesting situation in the medal count - Vietnam has more gold medals than Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia combined. And the proportions between gold silver and bronze medals are anomalously disproportionate - a typical pattern for hosts.

People are more inclined to focus on earning or finding job.  As we know this pandemic makes many of us unemployed.  So I think it is also one factor why the media rating declined this current South East Asian Games.



We can see how Vietnam sports developed over this decade and it is very impressive.  They progress so much while the Philippines Sports deteriorated.
It looks like the host team always have the advantage. The last East Asian Games were conducted by philippines during the year 2019. In that event it was philippines that dominated the tally and ended up with a total of 387 medals. This time Vietnam is taking the lead and a week more for the last event to take place. Within that the tally won't change much.

Yeah, that's mostly been the case in Sea games, the host nation has a high chance to get the most medal. So it's Vietnam's turn to dominate this event and the next host will be Cambodia in 2023. However, Cambodia just got 1 medal in the current Sea games but this might change and maybe they will get at least in the top 3 standing in the medal in the next meet.

^^ Magandang debate yan, pero dapat mapag champion muna ni Luka ang Mavs bago natin sya ma compare kay Dirk hehehe.

So conference finals na, pahirap na naman ang prediction. Kawawang CP3, next year na ulit kung makakapasok pa sila sa finals. Sayang yung ginawa nilang 60+ wins sa regular season hehehe. Hindi talaga nila na awat si Luka, nilaro laro lang sila kahit sinong ibigay na defender nalulusutan niya.

Not sure if this revival plan will work short or long term. Damage has been done already, a lot of investors lost their money and currently it is down 25% again. So there is no recovery but just completely giving false hope to their investors. So holders right now don't have a choice but to continue to hold and at least get even half of their investment. For newcomers, I will completely stir away from it.

   There is at least 3 different time frames to consider, short medium and long term and in the end an unstable coin shouldnt lastly alter long term dynamics of BTC

This one, I don't think that an stable coin that really affect the dynamics of bitcoin long term. This is not the first time though, we've seen Tether de-peg and it did affect the price but in short term only.

Lesson here is that as much as the Terra Luna or any other stable coin for that matter had a impact on the price movement, maybe because of panic selling or any other reasons, bitcoin will still go and continue to perform better in the future.

It has been settled now, and it's Heat vs the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. I will say that I will be biased on this one, as I have an outright bet for the Heat to win the Conference Finals. But it might be a tough road for them as the Celtics is also a well balance team like team. Both have shooters, good ball handlers, defenders. The X factor might be the bench scoring, the team that will have the best bench players every game will take this series.
4638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA _ Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks - 2nd round on: May 16, 2022, 03:30:40 AM
Another heart breaking loss for Phoenix and the repeat of last year result, the top team are out and now Dallas will move to the finals against the Warriors. Phoenix have an early lead on this series, its just that Doncic has been unstoppable and the Suns can't handle it. Too bad for CP3, he lose the chance again to at least fight for the championship well if he can still play, maybe next conference he can have the chance.

Yeah, Suns choke in this series, they don't have answer to Doncic and then Brunson and Dinwiddie answering the call of the Dallas fans to response to the game.

And they exactly that in the last 2 games. Not sure what will be the future of the Suns now, and since they didn't offer Ayton a good contract extension, maybe he will exercise his option next season, who knows. Congrats to those who back up the Dallas team in this series.

But I wouldn't say that it's a death spiral, only those strong altcoins survived the current downtrend. Bitcoin starting all over again and trying to regain back the $30k support levels.

Mukang kukunin na to ng Boston, pagka gising ko sinilip ko ang score, tambak na ang Bucks ng double digit lead. At si Grant Williams so far ay may 25 points na, mukhang siya ang pumalik sa scoring ni Horford dahil 4 points pala is big Al. Laglag na rin yung isa kong taya sana makabawi sa Suns hehehe.

Magandang laban sa ECF finals to, Miami vs Celtics, parehas na kumpleto ang team. Butler vs Tatum.
