Sorry, my bad. It looks like the website I checked had some problem, and until now it's still not showing the accurate ranking. The rankings are insane, but I didn't notice when I was checking. lol

But upon checking on the other source, it seems like it's quite close compared to the Sixers vs Spurs.

Dallas  25-20
Atlanta 18-27


Sixers -29-14
Spurs 9-36

Hawks is not really a bad team, they are almost the same standing with the Mavericks. The recent struggle of the Hawks was cause by Trae Young's absent, and now that he's back, the game is interesting as they could have win that game too. Luka just having a great night, more shooting than passing, I think he is more effective that way especially if the defense is not so tight or he is not being double team.



This is not a case for Argument as obviously Luka has more points, better FG percentage and up against a competitive team. Luka can do more IMO, but with the way he played, he is not unselfish that's why he makes his teammates better as well. That win was without Kyrie Irving, he single handedly carry the team but overall their FG shooting is still impressive.

We can have a different approach on casino games and sports betting. Normally, when you play on casino like on slots and roulette, you don't bet a lot of money as you want to make it a long session, but as you know, the house edge is always on their side, so all have to do is just have fun and make sure you don't get to attach when you are losing. Knowing how to start when you are losing, that's the right way to handle to stay safe and minimize the risk. Let's admit the fact that most of the time we lose in a casino, but have we manage to control ourselves by staying based on limit?

What is this amount, is it monthly or weekly?

Newbies who find theirselves eager to earn merits than to learn from the forum first and foremost are actually those who are here to satisfy their greed for profits. Because if you are a responsible forum member, you will never chase for merits immediately, but will do a lot of research and studies first so you will be familiar about bitcoin and its whole crypto space.

Yes, we've been seeing him very active on the sport. However, I don't see him getting into sabong anymore. I think he already stopped that when he became a born again christian from being a catholic. But regardless though, I still feel he is a very positive man and he is enjoying his retirement. Even before, I'm hearing a lot of comments that Manny makes boxing only as his sidejob and yet he still remained as a champion.


I think he still mentioned Crawford, not sure if he is just messing up or he's really serious but you are right, it's not wise to be in the profesional fight again since he has already achieved the biggest achievement in boxing, there's nothing to prove. What he should do now is, enjoy his retirement, get some exhibition fights to keep that cash flowing in.

As long as there is potential profits, then you’re supposed to take it than be more greedy to long for a bigger profits. Not all the time that you’ll be in consistent profits, so never miss an opportunity by not taking it, regardless of its amount, profits are always good profits so take it whenever it’s possible.

However, it also depends on your trading plan and set goals. If you think that profits alone is enough, then take it. But if you see bigger potentials to increase them in the future, and you’re not facing bad financial condition at the current, so stick to your plan and continue working on it.

I guess living in comfort for me means being able to live a life having your wants and needs around, while other people only prioritize their needs over wants so they can reserve also some spare money for their investment. That’s exactly how I live my life these days since I have to invest as well in bitcoin for my retirement. Maybe if I have no future plans, then I would never be eager to save, and spend my money like there’s no tomorrow.

Very close match so far. The first half is over and Phoenix had a 3 point lead.

The score now is 41-38, and both teams are just shooting less than 40%. As to import vs import match up, Williams is still scoreless but already have 7 rebounds and 3 assists. I guess that pretty much say that he is an unselfish player because despite being scoreless, his team is leading by 3 points.

What I saw on the stat sheet is Magnolia's bad 3 point shooting, they are only 1-13. Maybe we will see some adjustment in the 2nd half, or maybe they'll focus their attack on the paint so they could score and possibly gets fouled.

Per Bookie live betting, Magnolia is still favored but only a slight favorite as from -8.5, they are down to -4.5 now.

@danherbias07, almost perfect you have there. 4/5 last night, and you only fall to the OKC as they didn't cover the spread. I believe OKC would have lost that game but was only save by the technical of Chauncey Billups, that mistake by Chauncey Billups cost them a game. SGA miss the first FT and tied the game on the 2nd, but they still had the possession and Williams makes the game winning shot.

I think coach has to be careful when games are close like that, there maybe calls or non calls they would not agree but just let the game flow, don't get affected with the emotion as big win might result to a disappointing loss like what happened.

He doesn't believe Ngannou will win because he is not a legitimate boxer, or started his career as a boxer. And yeah, he may be little him but if Ngannou will lose and he wins, it doesn't make sense if he'll fight Ngannou. What we could potentially see is that AJ vs Zhang fight, and Ngannou will slowly loss the spotlight. Remember that he was only popular now in boxing because he have Fury a hard time on his debut in boxing, and that until now people still believe that he won, but a loss against AJ will change the perfective of the people and slowly he'll be forgotten as their attention will be focus on  AJ and Zhang.


Not sure if he could defeat Fury though, but of course he is a real deal. I think he should prove himself first by defeating a popular boxer. As I've mentioned, he could potentially face AJ after the fighter if both boxers will end up victorious, so maybe after that he could fight Fury if Fury will also defeat Usyk on their match.

Not only when it comes to investments, but for us to succeed in our life’s goals and targets, we need self-discipline and control. If you lack that, you might be wasting your money and time trying to reach your target but knowing you don’t exercise discipline and control, it’s hard to see you succeeds in the end.

However, self-discipline and control can be learned in time. But maybe, committing some mistakes at first might create a good motivation for you so you won’t be repeating the same mistakes again knowing that would never result into a desirable outcome.

Certainly not. Where there is high achievements and educational attainment, that's where higher advantage should be given. Because to be honest, schooling is not really easy, most especially if you are going on a masteral or doctorate degree, not only you should prepare yourself physically and emotionally, but most likely your finances as well. So probably, if you gain higher quality education, that's where a bigger compensation should go.

D'Lo suddenly got better when he knew that his name is on the trading list. Probably the lakers are just trying to sell him as they still trade him anyway. D'lo still got that game though, but the Lakers needs some consistency which D'lo wasn't able to provide since his arrival.

The Lakers bounce back strong after a dissapointing loss on the Nets, and that is by dominating the Blazers that just recently beat the Pacers.

Hope from here they'll start a win streak so they'll not play catch up this season.

I guess for every newbie, we all have our first mistakes of selling bitcoin at a wrong time. Not because we need urgent funds, but because we really think that it’s the peak of the price and the best time to sell bitcoin. But afterwards, bitcoin price continues to move upward leaving us regretting why we sell earlier.

It’s never bad to regret but one thing is important, we should learn a lesson from there. And realized that bitcoin has unlimited price increase, we just have to determine whether there are factors pulling or pushing the price itself.

Same point of view here. Procrastinating your plan like buying bitcoin is another way of showing that you’re hesitant to buy it because you have a lot of if’s and but’s, simply because you don’t have sufficient knowledge about bitcoin and all its advantages from other investments. If you are consistently doing that, you are obviously missing golden opportunity from not buying bitcoin.

However, we all have different views about bitcoin and I think each of us have also valid reasons. It’s just that once I saw the huge potentials in such a thing, then I would never want to procrastinate from doing or buying it, but of course before I do that, I’ve always had my thorough research so I won’t end up regretting my own decision.

I think it's not only duelbets. A lot of casinos started with casino games only and later added sports betting on their platform. If we look at the casinos that are in bitcointalk now, most of them have sports betting already, so it's not new and they already gain a lot of audience, so it's nice to see them running a promo on sports betting, maybe in the forum too.


Most casinos have promotions during Christmas as it's a season of giving, people love to spend while casinos love to share their blessings as well, but it's still a win-win situation as casinos are not charity, they are here to operate profitably.

Just a little movement it's hard to interprete it. I would just go with the team that I think will win and this time I think it's Meralco. Although as usual, Phoenix is taking the lead but as long as it's manageable, I still trust Meralco in finishing the game with a win.


I saw hodge and Perkins on the floor, so yes it's a complete line up and for sure they'll be battling down to the wire. Enjoy the evening as it's just one game, after this we will proceed to the semi finals.

That could be true but it's still depending on the audience. As we all know, sports betting attracts huge audience than casino so that could mean more profit for a gambling site if they could get their audience increase.

With Casino, you are gambling against the house which they have a house edge, and since they have the edge, they'll have the bigger chance of winning, that's why they want us to gamble more. But as we grow older in gambling we get more matured, we know that regardless on the size of house edge, we will still lose in the long run, so we go with other type of betting where we can use our skills, and personally I'm trying to gain skills in sports betting and I find it very challenging until now.

So I also love to see a sports betting promotion from time to time. 

Your team could almost make a come back win. they were down by 15 points or more early but they crawl up to make it a interesting game. It was a very entertaining game, but the Jazz were not able to capitalize in the overtime even the home team losses Fred VanVlee and Jabari Smith Jr.

I think the errors made by Clarkson and Sexton made them lose, if they decided to go with Lauri, then probably there's a decent chance that the Jazz would complete a comeback win.

Trading becomes more impressive since it offers fast earning profits as long as you know how to trade. But if you do trade just to avoid getting FOMO, then you are obviously in the wrong path. Trading demands higher risk, so it demands higher skills as well so you can manage and sustain its risks.

However, when you fail from trading, you can always go back to long term hodling. Although the profits are not achieved short term but definitely the upcoming profits are definitely worth the wait.
