So do you believe that  Bucks are starting to build another winning streak?

Definitely, that win against Lebron's Lakers will boost their confidence again. I believed that if they didn't have a hiccup against the Mavericks, they could have surpassed the teams record of 20 streak.

They've been winning again lately with a decent margin and I think it's not hard for them to again have another long streak.
Today, another win against the NY knicks and Giannis had another triple double.

They have been winning if I'm not mistaken, with an average of 10 points. And with the way Giannis is playing, there's no doubt that they will have a good run, at least 5-10 games of winning streak.

5503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: two gambling games that are players favorite on: December 21, 2019, 03:48:43 AM
Obviously, dice games are the best because it is easy to play, just imagine how many strategies, online scripts and casinos are in the crypto sphere. Others might say that the market is saturated already but I guess it's really that popular because many companies still wanted to go enter this niche.

I also like card games, but my preference is online dice, simple and yet you will enjoy it.
5504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: December 21, 2019, 03:06:08 AM
Giannis is good this season. They are my favorite team to win the league. If they can do it this time that will open new doors for them for next years.

Well he was already good last season winning his first MVP. The difference is that he improved his three point shooting this season that's why they had a good 18 games winning streak.

And I would say that the win against the Lakers is a good sign that they really have the mindset and the attitude as compare to last year. Perhaps they can go to the finals this year.

Well, we can't stop the price from going down, or investors selling this precious bitcoin because of the holidays.

Are you referring to this article? PlusToken Scammers Didn’t Just Steal $2+ Billion Worth of Cryptocurrency. They May Also Be Driving Down the Price of Bitcoin. The article came from Chainalysis, so I don't know if it has weight or something. Still up for us to decide, but basically the price is base on supply and demand tho.
5507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Double Checking while playing Roulette? on: December 17, 2019, 08:31:58 PM
It's a newbie mistake but every now and then some people still fall for it. There are cases in which bets are doubled unbeknownst to the user especially if they clicked the "2x bet on loss" function. This still happens even though it's very clear what will happen if someone clicked on that. This doesn't seem to be similar in your case, although you still might have clicked on adding 1 whole ETH (does this function exist on your platform?) without you knowing consciously since you're in the heat of the moment.

I wouldn't call it a newbie mistakes, and I'm sure every roulette player has experience this.

About two months ago I also made the same mistakes, I was in a hurry because of the timer and accidentally click 2x on a number, I was f***ing screaming and the excitement grew as the ball was slowly jumping and eventually fall on the bet. Good that I won, but if I have lost I will be very disappointment and most probably stop playing that time.
5508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrencies: A (Crazy) Decade in Review on: December 17, 2019, 08:05:46 PM
Still, I will allow myself to criticize Bitcoin a little. It does not fit the ideas that Satoshi Nakamoto stated. From a decentralized payment system, Bitcoin has turned into a speculative manipulated tool. Payments in Bitcoins in the form in which it is now, it is a utopia. While 10 years is not such a long time for the cryptocurrency industry, I think the next 100 years will definitely bear some good fruit and the digital currency will be ubiquitous.

Fair enough, however, as you have said the market is still young, ten years is not a lot as compare to other markets.

You also have to remember that it turned into speculative asset because it's a free market. I mean no one have control over it, that's why there are a lot of entities in the last ten years than can quickly manipulate the price to their advantage. So I say that this will continue and we can't get rid of them.
5509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: December 17, 2019, 11:32:35 AM
I'm not shocked at the Mavs winning at all, I said that this game is a trap as the line should of been a lot bigger then the +10.5, clearly Vegas knew something and wouldn't move the line. I always see people fall for this when a big star doesn't play and more times then not that team plays well and covers or in this case wins the game. The Mavs have now beaten the Lakers and Bucks on their home courts which is interesting as most of us have the Bucks and Lakers in the NBA Championship finals. I really thought the best underdog was the Grizzlies but I took them to cover to be safe but it was a hard fought win by them in the end and I think they are a team to watch out for when playing at home.

Good call mate, I thought that this is a easy for the Bucks to win because obviously their number one player is out. So I don't know how in the hell did Dallas Mavericks escape this one and crushed the dreams of Milwaukee Bucks to 20-0.

So I'm one of those who are shock to be honest. But I will commend you for a good analysis on this one.
5510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Milwaukee Bucks Make history? on: December 17, 2019, 08:32:57 AM
The streak was stopped by a Dallas Mavericks without Luka.. They need to start again to break the all time best of winning streak which they still have a chance. Also, the best record is still alive, I just don't expect that they would loss against the Dallas.

Exactly, I thought that the this one is already in the bag for the Bucks since Luka is not going to play. Giannis had a monster game, but Mavericks with Porzingis and Curry at the help keep the lead for Dallas eventhough there are attempts from the Bucks to keep the game close.

I guess Mavericks will have to start all over again. But this is a big blow psychologically because they lost without the other teams best players.
5511  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin now Pump and Dump? on: December 16, 2019, 11:35:22 PM

I have watched this space for a couple of years and while on it, I felt that bitcoin prices are usually driven by global supply and demand which is a factor of real world usage. But recently, I have also gotten another perspective that bitcoin might just be a tool in the hands of a few whales, manipulated for quick and short gains on daily bases. If that's the case, as we near $6500/btc and even lesser as analysts suggest, when then do we see $100k/btc or its just a hoax to keep the pump and dump pendulum swinging

Bitcoin maximalist here doesn't want to call a pump-and-dump coin,  Grin, it's not on their vocabulary.

But we have to understand that the whole narrative has changed, it is not being treated as (1) store of value, (2) currency/medium and (3) investment vehicle.

So it became a speculative asset, so occasional pump and dump can't be avoid specially that there are many whales around that also play around the ecosystem.
5512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Daniel Jacobs vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on: December 16, 2019, 10:22:37 PM
I likely think that Daniel Jacobs had a huge advantage in winning this for sure because I think this fight was in favor of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. career and I think it is arranged to save his downward loop career, but I think the kid will have a hard time in fighting Jacobs because of the many accusations on Chavez is using steroids but that is not really proven the most notable in his issues was his appetite with partying that most people really think known to everyone,

Right, he would rather party all night than train hard, the only thing that made him famous is because he is the son of the legendary Julio Cezar Chavez Sr. Complete contrast, his son didn't live up to the name of his father.

I guess that Chavez wants to return to the spotlight and aiming to get himself back to the good books well let us give him an opportunity but Daniel Jacobs is pretty much offering a fight because I think this will not be an easy feat to achieve.

But it could be too late because he chooses to fight Daniel, he should cherry pick someone before looking for big names like Jacobs.
5513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Will hit 5500 ? on: December 16, 2019, 10:07:38 PM
Just look at the bright side if the price hits $5500. It could be the perfect time to accumulate again because this kind of opportunity might not present itself. Specially with the block halvening coming in less than four months, its a good time to stash more BTC and fatten your wallet.

So don't despair when you see the price going down, look at the long term perspective here. Year to year though, bitcoin is still profitable, if you have invested at the start of the year when the price is ~$3k then you still have a good ROI even if the price sinks deeper to $5k at the end of the year.
5514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Milwaukee Bucks Make history? on: December 16, 2019, 10:59:48 AM
This is really a historic run not just for the Bucks but for the whole NBA.

They are still in the pace for the 73 win, isn't it? So this will be interesting if they can match GSW record. 20 is the franchise record, so I'm sure that will be the initial target for now. So let see how they do with Dallas and then Lakers.
5515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 16, 2019, 09:58:54 AM
Just had to watch again Usman vs Covington fight.
This was one fantastic fight war.
Covington got broken jaw and after that he showed his best performance.
It was close fight but Usman got him in last round with TKO.
I expect to see rematch here

I just watched it in Youtube and definitely it was a war.

Both of them really trade a lot and no surprise that Covington got a broken jaw here. But I'm not seeing a rematch, at least they should go and look for other fights first. If there is another hype since Coby is a trash talker then probably in the future we might, but an immediate rematch is highly unlikely.
5516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance’s IEOs keep Dumping, but why? on: December 15, 2019, 11:56:07 PM
I think this looks terrible because the price fell that far and could make many participating investors lose because of the incident, from cases like that are usually affected by current market conditions or developers deliberately lowering the price of tokens as is happening at the moment.

I wouldn't say its looks terrible, I mean we all know that most of them are really good projects, but with the worsening market conditions, someone will really need to get their money back and then some. That's why the IEO projects are dumping right now.

I'm sure that when the market bounce back and new IEO are still being offered, we might not see this kind of dump in a bullish cycle. Maybe long term investors are still holding, for all we know.
5517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A BOLD player is considered a dangerous player at casinos and sportbooks. on: December 15, 2019, 05:45:27 PM
Of course, that player is living what every gambler wanted to be, take the bold risk or go home.

But I think casino operators are all aware of this and I wouldn't say that they are afraid, because sooner or later someone will come back again, play that same pattern and loss. And that is why max bet are put into place, to at least stop whales from running out casinos bankroll.

It almost killed me with sadness but thanks to this.

https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1206043555560595458

It is just a sprain and the X-rays were negative.
Whew!
Streaks of wins and triple double might be stopped but as long as he is healthy then it is still good.
This is what I have been scared of from the start.
He had been putting a lot of minutes for the game and he needs to be rested.

Isn't it we have a discussions that we hope that he will be healthy for the remainder of the season so that we will continue to be amazed by Luka and this just happened.

The good thing is that it is not worst than we've thought, scary. IF it just a sprain then he can just rested it and heal it on time.

Pretty obvious that the OP just wanted to bring traffic so that website, and I'm not going to be surprise if that is his own blog, Lol.

Anyways, thanks for sharing though, I would say that it is well written and different from the other post that I have seen so far. Regarding diversification though, for me the real meaning is that don't put everything in crypto, you should have a portfolio that contains stock or even precious metals and real state.

You're late, we have already a discussion about it, This just happened after Bakkt CEO becomes US senator!.

Doesn't change anything though, she is just one head as Senator, and I think majority are still anti-bitcoin to be honest. So I don't see any pro-bitcoin legislature in the next coming years.
