We can't bring the conspiracy theory here that is happening mostly on sports. Maybe sports could be rig, but this election? Not gonna happen as it's the nations future is at stake here, rigging for someone just to make a lot of money in risk of making a country struggle, doesn't make sense at all. We never know who would really win, just like when Trump as a huge underdog, people got surprise that he won, but that's official. now, as to choosing the president, it's entirely our personal choice and just like our interpretation on the bible, we have different.

Those who have low risk tolerance might eventually get to decide to quit from trading most particularly if they are losing consistently. Even myself I would resort into quitting if I am not profitable anymore. But that is only on a newbie’s point of understanding. Because if you actually aim to become a good and successful trader someday, then you should not be easily discouraged with different losses and mistakes you’ve done in trading, that’s part of one’s training so you can be a reliable trader in the end.

Successful traders these days might not come into their current position if they end up quitting suddenly. But because their hopes and aspirations are high, they remain to be strong despite of their losses until they get to the point of becoming successful and profitable in their trading field.

If you are looking for immediate returns, you can do binary trading but make sure that you are also capable to make it work and overcome the risks, otherwise you will only lose your money and you will fall like gambling while doing binary trading.

However, if you focus on hodling, although it’s safer than binary trading but you will only see possible returns after months or years of hodling, so you have to properly weigh things which path to take. But for better results, you can do hodling and at the same time do binary trading provided that you can cater and manage its different risks. Making money becomes easier if you are able to manage the risks and consequences well.

SMB backers had probably bet last night when the line was still -1.5. Even at -2.5, I guess it's still resoanable as SMB hasn't loss yet in the playoffs. Refs trying to ruined them but they are just too dominant, so game 1 is very unpredictable, and if you think of winning always go with the better team and we know which team is the better.

There's hasn't been betting like that, this isn't NBA bro, so you can't expect something like that. Best chance to get a bet is through betting outside, or with your friends/officemates, they give better benfits to bettors as you don't have to pay for the commission.

Lots of parlay was probably destroyed due to the outcome of the game. Not only the Lakers won but they dominated the Celtics on their own homecourt where they have a very impressive record. Nothing is impossible, lol..what's happening here? Was it a rig show?

I can't believe a Lebron+ Davis less Lakers could easily beat the Celtics.

-16.5 but they loss by 9 points. Reaves took charges and scored 32 points, but 7-10 from beyond the arc.. where's the defense C's?

First and foremost, to build financial stability and become rich in the process. Even if we don’t say that our sole objective is to become rich, but we all know deep inside that we want to live a convenient and comfortable life and that will only be possible if we are rich and have good amount of finances and wealth.

In addition to that, we also acquire bitcoin for our future retirement. Hence, working hard these days and having sleepless nights are part of the process so that we can build a brighter retirement with our family in the future.

There's no other market for now, you can check from time to time here https://duelbits.com/sportsbook/boxing/match/46299231-Inoue-Takuma-vs-Ancajas-Jerwin.....That's from duelbets, not sure if other bookies have more markets but I doubt since they have few odds provider, so it's probably almost the same. It's still too early though, and it's not a major fight although a championship fight, check back a week before the fight, for sure you will see the markets you are looking for.

This is the FINALS, Magnolia finished at the number 1 seed during the regular season, so it's hard to call it as a trap. However, that's your personal opinion so I might have to respect that. I guess we'll have to wait a bit, let's see if there's significant line movement so we can tell what's happening.

If I can't be confident with my pick, I think I will go on the total. As we all know, Magnolia loves to play pressure defense, so we are looking at another low scoring game here. Maybe I'll stick to that, quite safer than betting on the point spread.

It’s easy to say that your friend will not be panicking since the duration of two years is quite long. But if you are already trading but still not making significant profits but only consistent losing within that 2 years, then most probably you will surely develop worries on how you will be able to pay back that loan. Remember that trading won’t never guarantee a fixed and consistent profits, regardless of how good you are in trading. If you are highly skillful on it, you might be making massive profits but it won’t be happening at all time as there are still inevitable losses in trading at some point.

Now, the question is if you are skillful in trading? Because if not, it’s better not to take any loan that you will only regret later on. Save if you want to trade, and trade of an amount that you can afford to lose. That way, if you lose, at least you are not compromising other people’s funds.

We are expecting for a bitcoin halving first before we will be seeing bitcoin bull run, so even if the market seems bullish, that won't guarantee that the market is already entering bull run.

However, bitcoin has experienced consistent price decline these recent days so definitely, that won't happen when we are already in bull run. But most likely, that's mostly part of correction that usually occurs in preparation for a bitcoin having that is already imminent.

These advices are not actually for newbies only but definitely for all the members in the forum, regardless of its position. First, is to observe respect for each and everyone. We have different concepts and perspectives in each various thread so learn to respect individual’s post rather than posting negative comments. Second, never stop doing research and extensive studies. Making a quality post simply shows how knowledgeable you are about the thread. If you want to be a good poster, then always have the right information from reliable sources. And lastly, always follow the rules in the forum, you can never go wrong if you don’t break the rules.

When it comes to scamming, I think everyone will fall as a target. So we should not be confident that only newbies are the apple of the eye of the scammers, there is no excuse to that. With or without knowledge, if we let our emotions overcome our own mind, then we will fall eventually on their traps.

Getting the right and updated information is the key. If we see things that are too good to be true, then avoid it immediately so we won’t fall into future scams.

Sometimes it's not just about probability as bookmakers could sometimes overvalued/undervalued a team, and sometimes they try to intentionally do it to pursuade the public in betting the high favorites. That's why I don't usually bet on a heavy favorite that has a high spread with a very low moneyline odds.

You mentioned the Minnesotta Timberwolves in your example which is only 1.07, a similar thing happened today with another game which is between the OKC and Detroit Pistons (same league).

As per bookie, here are the betting odds.


Converted to decimal, that's 1.11 on its moneyline.

It's gonna be a fun series for sure. Winning game 4 will make it a do or die game in 5. I like the Phoenix though but I feel they don't stand a chance against the SMB who swept the defending champion ^{(if I'm not mistaken).} Phoenix have to prove though because if they win the next 2 games, that means they are deserving the face the SMB super team.


Unfortunately they can't match the SMB's offense who could go inside and outside, it was the import match up thought, SMB's import is just too good.

It’s more on buying and hodling to be exact. If you want to feel the essence of bitcoin halving most particularly the bitcoin bull run, then certainly buying and hodling is the best option. Don’t be bothered with bitcoin price volatility because we all know it will surely make a price correction before bitcoin halving, but since it’s a preparation for its bull run, the price will eventually recover again and give us a new all time high price when bitcoin bull run is finally present.

No one can tell whether it’s the best time to buy now or not because the price can be always deceiving. But if you won’t be buying these days, when are you going to start your investment? That’s why I probably understand why majority here want to emphasize that now is the best time to buy because bitcoin price is still in the process of achieving its new all time high, but when it’s already at its peak price, then it would be harder for us already to spend for that very expensive amount, even if we will apply DCA.

I believe it’s now or you’ll gonna miss a good opportunity again while trying to keep on waiting the perfect market entry. That’s what mostly happened to those who are hunting for its lowest price when we all know it’s hard to tell if it’s the lowest or not.

Trading is certainly an individual’s knowledge and skills, and should be developed on your own self through accumulation of first hand insights and experiences that will definitely build you to be a reputable and reliable trader. If you can do that successfully, most likely majority of your trades will create a positive outcome, and a successful profit.

While trading can be build and developed all by yourself, a lot of us here are still seen being reliant to other’s market analysis skill and knowledge because they have seen successful trading from them. This makes an unhealthy trading because you depend your success from other people which I think is certainly not a good practice for a responsible trader.

The first game is over and the Phoenix Fuel Masters have avoided getting eliminated today. They came back from a huge deficit with a good run in the 2nd half. At some point, they are down 20 points but their strong come back in the 3rd quarter changes the momentum in their favor until the end of the game.

Final score 103-85... Huge win, who would expect they'll beat the Magnolia by 18 points.  This team does fight in every game they have, they might win game 4 and make this series very interesting. Everyone was contributing but it was Jazul's  3 straight 3 point shots IIRC that gave the team a good lead and Magnolia were not able to come back anymore. Magnolia always play phyisical, but tonight, Phoenix matches it and even outdone them on that area.

Next game will be SMB vs Ginebra, do or die for Ginebra.. Can their motto never say die could save them?

It hasn't change, it's still the same in the past. Even on sports, lots of sports in the USA like NBA, NFL, and MLB, they are very popular among sports bettors, so since it's the USA election, people tend to follow it and still bet on it. That says that USA is still probably the biggest country in the world, although debatable based on our personal opinion. I think we should just wait for since the odds are already in display on some website, probably not on crypto sports betting yet, but theyll list it for sure.

You can see the odds in this link  https://www.oddschecker.com/us/politics/us-politics

People who know exactly how to manage their investments before bull run were not desperate enough to rush and gain profit in crypto. But for those who are here for greed and nothing else, once they see potentials to be in profits, they will eventually grab for it even selling when it’s not actually bull run yet. And I think we don’t have control over them if that will be their mindset but we can always educate them not to take the rush because bitcoin price will eventually grow more when the real bull run hits the market.
