When he plays bad, the coach should not allow him to continue messing up, that's the role of the coach, put the players who contribute and not to mess with the team. If the coach was Greg Popovich, he would certainly bench Westbrook if he is shooting bricks.
Exactly, it's on the coach responsibility to act what's good for the whole team, there are other point guard that can play that role even LBJ can do that, though I doubt it this time around. Good thing it's just Vogel and not Pop and I think the notion to replace Vogel was the better decision the Lakers management may do, just an opinion.
start with the coach as it's easier to find a coach, if the new coach still could not handle the job effectively, then they should try to destroy the roster and that is by trading some high paid players, first in the list should be Westbrook, sorry for that. haha

Perhaps they just got Westbrook wherein he might be starting to decline as far as game play is concern. He is committing a lot of turn-overs, then bad shot after bad shot. When he drive and go for a dunk sometimes he is even block. Unlike during his prime wherein no one can go toe to toe with him when he is airborne. So yeah, it might be a good idea to trade and get other players that will jive with Lebron.

If we should take a look at the current price of Bitcoin in the market, with records from CMC, we will find out that the price in 24 hours time frame reaching the lows of $32.9k has turned round to $36k+ and still pushing, which is showing some good price swing from the downtrend to an uptrend with strong movements. This could be a very good sign for something good coming into the market. Though, it's just too early. Using the 1 hour time frame, you'll see how far the price has drastically moved on the reverse. I guess this could be the tag we have been looking for. Anything is still possible, but the positive response from the market is what we all wait.

Well hopefully it is a good sign, but we can't tell for sure as the sentiments really turns into a bearish one and I would say that retail investors are pulling out their investments right now. Maybe they will get back in the market when we hit $20k-$25, but we knows. So what I'm saying is that we should prepare for the worst in the coming months as it looks like they is turning out to be a bad year for bitcoin market. Bad year in a sense that we are in the start of a bear trend.
5063  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT is art or monkey busines? on: January 25, 2022, 12:31:55 PM
I'm kinda new in cryptocurrency so please correct me if I say something inaccurate.
As we know NFT is really popular now days and some people support them and others against them. I'm watch these video and yeah i can't deny it, in opensea for example, i see some art thieves not only one or two but very often, and terrible art but gain more popularity and high value.
so what do you think about this video? and what do you think about NFT?

the video what i talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDtt24RxdLk

I didn't watch the video. But obviously, it's two fold as you have said, it could bet trash, but hey if you can make money out of art then there is nothing wrong about it in my opinion.

So we can't really deny that NFT is the hype today and everyone is taking advantage of it. This is how crypto though, again, whether you like it or not. And just like any hype before, it will simply die down just saying that's why everyone is into it because it might not last that long so why not make use of it right now.

As we know that Gambling offers players the chance to pocket a lot of money, but it can also lead to significant monetary losses (which we all had). Even though I'm new to this forum, but I want to share a little experience related to gambling on various online sites. While you may hear it often, here's a snippet:
1. Know when is the right time to stop playing.
2. Set limits and monitor your money.
3. Safeguard your budget.


All the points that you have listed totally make sense and should really be followed by everyone that is gambling already or plans to start gambling in the future. All of the points that you have listed though are very well known in the scene already and i would guess that 99% of the gamblers are aware of them. Still it is very hard for some people to really stick to this advice and there are several reasons for this. Some are maybe very prone to develop a gambling addiction pretty quickly while others just don't have the mental strength to really stop when their budget is gone.

Yeah, it's a good advise, but it's really hard to follow some of the advise to the tee. I mean if you started to lose, it's really hard to control your emotions because your judgement is already clouded.

So I guess the best thing to do is to not really involved yourself in gambling in the first place.

Because once you are in, it's hard to get out and as much as you wanted to control everything, it will be very difficult and it might result to you being addicted, in my opinion.

Bawi tayo bukas, meron na namang laro ang bulls, -2 sila againts OKC, mukhang matatalo ulit yan.


Nasa isip ko hindi sila matatalo ng dalawang sunod sa mga low ranking teams at saka maglalaro naman si DeRozan, si Lavine lang ang hindi kaya talagang may chance na manalo ang Bulls sa kanilang laro bukas kay Bull -3.5 @2.10 ako rito.

Good luck, sana tuloy-tuloy na ang panalo natin.

Low ranking rin ang magic, 9-39 ang record nila, samantalang 14-32 naman ang OKC. Good luck pa rin sayo kabayan, di nalang siguro ako tataya sa game na yan baka  malasin ka. hehe.. Siguro sa NYK vs Cavaliers nalang ako, sa NYK ako mataas handicap.

Kung sisipatin medyo maganda talaga chance ng chicago lalo't gling sila sa tao at ang baba ng handicap, pag may spare akong pantaya baka maglagay ako or baka sa live game na lang para matanya ko kung maganda ilalaro ni DeRozan, minsan kasi medyo nakakapagtaka lang nanatalo sa mas mahina pero nanalo naman sa mas malakas.  Grin Roll Eyes

Grabe naman yon, akala ko panalo na yong bet ko kasi 111-107 ang score with just 1 second to go ng biglang tumikada ng tres yong Thunder at naibaba yong lamang ng Bulls to just one point at wala ng oras, sakit noon hehe.

Di bale, may ganyan talagang eksena sa laro at nagkataon lang na doon ako sa losing side hehe.

Syanga pala, naglalaro si LaVine at hindi naglalaro sina Ball at DeRozan, load management ba to or they are having an injuries?

Hehehe, parehas tayo, ako nga -1.5 na lang kinuha ko 1.87 para makatikim lang ng panalo para pang bugaw ng malas nadale pa rin.

Tapos nag online betting ako dumiin ako sa Pacers, kinapos din sa dulo at hindi kinaya Pelicans.

Hindi ko rin sure bat wala si DeRozan eh, alam ko si Ball may injury yata pero si DeRozan wala naman.
5066  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Dip on: January 24, 2022, 03:34:12 PM
In 2021 Btc have many up & downfall ,still now it’s again moving toward the downfall ,as it was expected it will touch 100k at the end of 2021 ,does it still expected it will touch its peaks in March ?
Many analysts predicted the price might reach $100k on December last year. But unfortunately it didnt happened and I dont think this time March would be the next set month to reach the $100k price because its a short period. Plus we are still in the downtrend situation, the recovery is not consistent hence I think it will take time before we can reach another ath. Nevertheless the market is unpredictable, just one good news can create an impact to the market so lets see if there's any.

I guess it just shows that it's hard to predict the price of bitcoin. It's not that those who predict it might be delusional or something, but there are factors outside that is hard to seen, like the Omicron news that really turn the market upside down again.

So with the way the price is moving, I don't also see bitcoin hitting $100k this market or even this year. There could be demand somewhere, but investors are very hesitant to invest during a bear market.
5067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 24, 2022, 02:34:02 PM
So this is going to be a match in heaven sort of, two very powerful boxers who has something to prove to the world. Yeah, Inoue will be getting the lion share of the split and probably 60/40 in my opinion is probably the right split of the purse.

I agree with that. I don't see a 50/50 here or the split will be favored to Casimero.

Even Casimero is also a champion, he's like a challenger to Inoue when they fight. Inoue will be the Favorite and Casimero will be the underdog.

Again, another chance for us that support Casimero. We always like good and high odds for the one we support.

This might be one reason though if the fight will not happen. Usually these champion wanted to have the big share in the purse. And that's why there are fights that are not made because of this. I remember the Hatton vs Pacquiao fight, it was almost not going to happen until Arum put some money just to satisfy both party (that is according to him, but we will never know the truth).

And again in this fight, Arum is going to be involved as he handles Inoue. And hopefully they are going to push with this fight and give what is due for Casimero.
5068  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Price Enter the $30k Area? on: January 24, 2022, 12:57:39 PM
I'm with a cycle that usually happens every 4 years, I think bitcoin will touch 30 thousand, it could even be under 30 thousand.

Anything is possible, we are in the $33k'ish right now, sooner or later we will touch $30k and then below that after if the support will not going to hold.

I guess under $30k might be the bottom though, the most I'm seeing is $25k.

But we are still far from the bull run, as you have said, we are in a cycle and right now is the start of a bearish that will last for good 2-3 year (ouch!) in my opinion.
5069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 24, 2022, 11:31:00 AM
Have anyone seen Gary Russell interview after the fight, the guy is a sore loser claiming he won the majority of the rounds and teaches Magsayo a lesson in boxing, all he has done in the ring is to run and ducked he doesn't even have an offense claiming that he has one hand, it's not Magsayo's fault why he has that injury what is clear is he clearly losses the fight and none of the judges favors him.

Here is the video of that interview

GARY RUSSELL JR. POST-FIGHT VS. MARK MAGSAYO | TALKS JUDGING, INJURY, REMATCH OR MOVE UP

The judges score card was already a garbage and him vehemently denying that he lost the game? Shows what kind of loser Gary Russell is.

Yeah, it could be a different outcome if he is not injured, but he should give credit to Magsayo as he has injury in his right shoulder. So how can he win if he can't even throw his money punch?

Anyhow, it open the window for Magsayo and hopefully he can make it big in the US.
5070  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The way things really are on: January 24, 2022, 05:53:17 AM
I can end up getting hated for this but it's the plain truth, if something is already popular then you've already missed the boat, don't believe the hype sell people shovels instead, I believe this is the way of the rich people, their perfect strategy that still looks like slavery to my eye
Hype is not always bad for the market because sometimes hype can give us an advantage if we can do a good analysis and strategy when we want to invest with hype coin, this is a crypto market anything can happen in it and we can't blame investors who do this because they also want to make a profit that way.

Of course, everything here is a friend if you know how to take advantage of everything. Bear market? buy at the dip, hype? follow it and the dump before the hype died down.

So it's not that bad, and it's all about the timing in the market. Sometimes you just have to listen to your guts as well, when to enter and when to exit. And once you exited, never look back so that you don't have any regrets.

Memphis ML @2.3 vs Nuggets, sunod-sunod na ang talo ng Memphis kaya palagay ko babawi sila rito. Ang advantage lang naman ng Nuggets dito ay yong maglalaro sila sa homecourt nila pero even match-up ito palagay ko.

Good luck, sana makabawi tayo.

Congrats kabayan, pasok na pasok, naka ML ka pa.


Ganda ng nilaro ni Ja' Morant dito 38 points sa loob lang ng 37mins. Iba talaga yung batang star na to pag gusto nya talagang tumirda
talagang nagagawan nya ng paraan, pasok na pasok yung ML dito kahit sabihin nating mganda din yung nilaro ng Nuggets pero yung unang quarter na bulusok ng Memphis medyo nakapag bigay ng magandang kumpyansa, kahit na may rally din yung Nuggets pero talagang pumokpok din ang Memphis para masungkit ang panalo..  Wink Grin


Pinaghandaan talaga nila ang season na ito dahil gusto nilang mag improve. Nasa top 3 na ang Memphis, malapit na nilang malampasan ang panalo ng Warriors, kung maka pag win streak na naman sila, baka mag number 2 pa sila at hindi rin malabong mag number 1.

Hindi ako nakataya at wala ako kahapon at medyo busy talaga.

Mainit talaga ang Memphis sayang ang hindi ko natayaan nitong 2 laro nila. Konti lang din yata ang laro kahapon parang 3 lang yata.

Bukas o memya ang dami na umpisa pa 2 am sa tin.

Parang gusto ko ang Clippers ah dehado vs Knicks hehehe.

Bull -3.5 against Magic.

Marami ring laro bukas.

Sabayan ko yang Bulls, kahit home court ang Orlando sure ako talo yan, tinalo nga ng Lakers yan dati.  hehe

Lakers vs Heat> mukhang di kakayanin ng Lakers ito, kaya Heat ako kahit -4 ang spread.

Malas ako bro, talo ang Bulls sa Magic at hindi kinaya ng dehadong Clippers ang NYK, muntikan lang hehehe.

Hindi ko na nakita yung Lakers vs Heat mo, sakto lang ang -4 spread sa game.

Next time na lang ako babawi.
5072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Retail users out? on: January 23, 2022, 05:38:48 PM
After tested to max. pain limit during last 3 months and continuously suffering financially and mentally, I think the retail users have given up. If so, this is not good scenario. If soon there are no new & much positive vibes in the market, the things can go lower. Is not??
But my point of view is that in the highly sophisticated and versatile market there is a clause who stand till end will grow with market growth.

I don't think that retail investors have given up, maybe they sell but not all of their stash. And you can't blame them though, this is really tough times to see the price being slash by 50% from it's all time high. Nevertheless, those retail investors have a lot of time to think and maybe will go and comeback if the price goes lower than $30k before the price is again on a discount.
5073  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is an Altseason possible and which altcoins can surprise us on: January 23, 2022, 04:31:44 PM
Frankly, I think that the defi projects will rise well. Of course, the key point here is bitcoin movements. If it continues like this, no altcoins will move a leaf because bitcoin is not even allowed to breathe. However, if bitcoin starts to break upwards for a short time, I think we may come across very good buying opportunities and tokens that will leave very good profits.

But all points to bitcoin being bearish not just for this month, but for the year 2022. So it's going to be a difficult year for the altcoin market as well and it's hard for the majority of them to really go up high this year.

Unless they are going to break the correlation from bitcoin, which I doubt will happen. Maybe some of them with good use case can stay in the market and will maintain their price. But I have a feeling that even Defi, or NFT are going to suffer in this bear market.
5074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 23, 2022, 03:11:34 PM
At this point it only makes sense to take on Russell Westbrook if you are getting draft capital back.  Especially for a team who isn't going to compete this year.  What would a team like houston do with Westbrook? He will only take minutes from the young guys who need court experience.  My guess is russ doesn't go anywhere.

Maybe that's what the Rockets want. I mean, it would be a good deal for the Rockets if the Lakers offered them Westbrook and a few draft picks as compensation. Although it's unlikely because it's just a rumor, and the Lakers probably won't make meaningful changes to their roster until the offseason.

I think it will be too much if they offered draft picks. I mean a 1:1 trade will be suffice enough, in my opinion. Yeah, maybe a Lebron + WB pairing is really a bad combination, as obviously they are not clicking at this point. And I would say that the blame might be in WB here, Lebron is playing high level basketball, but WB was a total disappointment in Lakers uniform.
5075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your thoughts about online casino vs.physical casino on: January 23, 2022, 02:22:41 PM
Have you ever played online casino?Is the experience similar to playing physically in casino?Which do you prefer?

Of course, a lot of difference when you play online and going to a land base casinos. Obviously, a lot of people around you, maybe you play with your friends or saw some of your friends inside the casino. Atmosphere is totally difference because it is really noisy in a land base, while online you can play inside your room alone. And speaking of online casinos, they still allow us to play, as long as you have your vaccination card with you before entering.

Crypto market losses have reached $1 trillion since early November. In the last 24 hours, the market cap fell to a five-month low after losing $356B.  410 more Bitcoins were purchased by EI Salvador. Even though El Salvador isn't stupid, running an economy on Bitcoins at the same time is a bit odd. Currently, the mood is extremely bearish, so anything is possible, but if you're not convinced, be sure to do your own technical analysis on the points listed.

What do you expect? I mean the President is pro-Bitcoin so for sure he will buy as long as he can because he believes in it. So we might say that he is really stupid, but long term though, maybe this is what the President is looking for. Maybe in just 2-3 years, so maybe in the next bull run, he may see his investments grows many folds by buying cheap bitcoins today.

So he is taking advantage of the huge dip already in this bearish mood.
5077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 23, 2022, 01:27:23 PM
Congrats to the winners, I see that most of the posters here were betting on Magsayo, you enjoy the day.  Smiley

That was so lucky for Magsayo, Rusell got injured so he took advantage of it.
If Rusell wasn't injured, I think Magsayo might lose in this fight because the scorecards result were very close, one judge even score a draw.

The judge that scores the draw is questionable given the compu box results but this is boxing a lot of controversies when it comes to going to the judges' score, Magsayo is being very careful because he knows he is fighting a strong fighter with a very good experience but like all the opinions here he is indeed lucky, Gary Russell can call a rematch if there is a clause in their contract, the argument is he is not 100% although it's not Magsayo's fault.

As always, they would favor the champion but not enough cheating for this fight. Scoring a draw is insane, they see that the champion is only fighting with one hand and there's no way he could win as Magsayo is also fast and fierce in the fight, maybe next time the favor would go to Magsayo as he is the current champion.

I think it will be blatant cheating if the judges score the fight for Russell as it is very clearly that Magsayo did enough to push the fight and hit Russell cleanly specially in the later rounds.

If for reasons, the judges score it for Russell, for sure there will be a lot of uproar and those judges are going to be in the hot seat for that decision. So they can't allow that except maybe for that one judge who have it a draw. So the reign of Russell has come to an end. Bring Leo Sta Cruz next for Magsayo, sure as hell that will be a entertaining fight.

I like the LSC fight, but let's see, give time for Magsayo to celebrate his win when he goes home to the Philippines. Even the great Manny Pacquiao has sent his congratulatory message to Mark as he manages him.

As I have said before, I suspected that it is a shoulder injury and Russell aggravated it more (I forget what round it is), but you can clearly see that he is wincing in pain and can't throw any decent punch.
5078  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $34k the bottom?? on: January 23, 2022, 12:52:35 PM
Just some bounce today, maybe it can go to $36k, nevertheless it is a weak bounce in my opinion.

So as for now, I would hit that we might the price still going down in the next couple of days. Support is now weak, volumes are low and sentiments are really very negative right now as everyone is afraid of the bear market.

The timing though of the news, those who wanted to create panic and fear really knows the timing of releasing this kind of statement.

But then again, this kind of news will really affect the market negatively, but it might be short term though. Next week we will forget about this news and we might see the price going up and recovering to mid $40k again.
