I disagree with that. In my opinion, Coach Pop isn't the kind of coach to put all the team's focus on one player leading the charge. No doubt, Wemby's got talent, but this squad should stick to the old-school Spurs style – solid defense and lots of players getting in the mix. The Spurs hit their peak, at least from what I recall, during the Duncan, Parker, and Manu era. When Leonard joined, things got even better. Not sure if we'll witness the Spurs in that prime situation again.

Being frugal lets you save for your future, but I don't think you need to be frugal all the time until you become deprived of your wants and needs. That is living your life the wrong way. Although you're going to maximize your savings in the future, but it will also compromise your current happiness which I think is not healthy anymore. Sometimes, you need to live life without worrying the future and just enjoy everything what life has to offer. You don't need to be very obsessed of what will be your future, you don't even know if you are still able to live your future, right?

Live and enjoy your life, no if's and but's. Be grateful of what you have and even to what you don't have. That's the only way to live your life happy and stress free.

This is terrible when you consider random altcoins for your crypto investment. Instead of seeing your profits grow after bull run, you might end up wasting all your capital seeing those altcoins dropping their prices suddenly and are not even sure if they can still recover or not. That's what we get if we ride the FOMO and just jump into altcoins because they're cheap and promising, instead of focusing into bitcoin despite of its high, expensive price.

However, only those newbies who are still inexperienced of the market only do that. The reason why these newbies are susceptible to losses because aside that they enter the market wrongly, they chose to invest in wrong coins also that made them lose their capital in such a short period of time.

 You know, that is always possible with bitcoin. Make sure you have a solid plan on your bitcoin investment and create a long term preparation for trading, eventually you will achieve your goals in time. My only advice is to stay patient while understanding the market. You won't be successful with bitcoin if you act impulsive on decision making, you will only fail in the end.

Bitcoin is certainly a tool for financial growth and stability in the future. However, the path to achieve that is never smooth but rocky and that makes bitcoin more challenging. But if you are really determined to build your mother her dream house, then work hard for it and never easily quit even if you are in the verge of losing. Bitcoin has its own inevitable losses and that's fine. What's important is you learn to outgrew your profits more than losses, so stick to your goal and focus on your plan.

Yeah, but unfortunately he doesn't have the skills and talent of Mayweather, so he would likely end up bankrupt because he wasn't able to manage his finances effectively. And I believe he had some lawsuits that probably requires more money for him to stay free for now. So we can see how desperate he is to have a big fight for a bigger payday.


With the latest development, I think it's the right thing to do.

Thank you everyone for participating in the discussion. Thread is closed now.

So, it seems the reported injury might just be a convenient excuse because he doesn't find the fight appealing or has had a change of heart. What's going on with him, asking for a championship fight when he's at the bottom of the standings? It's like he's lost touch with reality or forgotten his current rank.

I get that he's into big fights, but he doesn't get to dictate how matchups are created. If he can't adhere to the rules of professional boxing regarding fights, maybe he should consider retiring and going for exhibition fights. With his skills in trashatalking, he's sure to draw a massive audience, and it could be a way to stay in the limelight even not in the professional sports of boxing.

Even if someone were to introduce gambling to me, I would never blame that person. Holding others responsible for our choice to gamble and the subsequent losses is an act of irresponsibility and a sign of immaturity. The mere fact that we choose to engage in gambling indicates our awareness of the risks and our willingness to accept them. Blaming someone else is senseless; it reflects our reluctance to acknowledge our own failures or losses.

The truth is, with altcoins it's always hard to recover its price once that price has dropped so deeply. You might wait for couple of months or years to see it recovering but majority still end up as dead coins except for those established altcoins in the market that sustain their position in the market cap. That is why instead of wasting your time and money for altcoins, why not focus on bitcoin and expect bigger chances of profiting despite of its high volatility. Well, volatility is the obvious reason why a lot of us are hitting huge profits in bitcoin and keeps the excitement when investing in bitcoin.

However, diversifying bitcoin with established altcoins in the market is also a good option. But never put some high expectations on these altcoins since the risk to lose is still high compared to bitcoin.

If game fixing is indeed occurring within the league, simply suspending or replacing a referee might not be enough to ensure a clean game. If the instructions are coming from higher up, the sanctions given could be a way to make it seem like the league is taking action against any appearance of rigging. However, without concrete proof, these concerns will likely remain as speculation.


Of course, anything can happen, but my bet is just best on the result of my very simple analysis, two strong teams playing a respective game against weaker teams, it's already automatic to bet on the strong teams, that's why this parlay came up.

Suspension, but they'll return again. I'm sure this will happen again in the future, and people will once more speculate that the PBA is rigged.

Anyway, enough about that—justice is served, so no more further discussion. Tomorrow, we have two games on the line:

1st game: DYIP vs TNT
2nd game: Northport vs NLEX

The bolded name of teams are my picks; I'm doing a parlay. Good luck!

They might be experimenting, or it's possible that Romeo is still under a minute restriction. He played a bunch of minutes in the first game, so my wild guess is they trimmed it down a bit in the second game. Haha, just speculating here. But hey, a win is a win, and they've shown they're a strong team by beating Meralco by double digits.

Meanwhile, in the Ginebra vs. Magnolia game, Ginebra had a big lead that's now down to just 7 points in the 4th quarter. This game has become interesting now.

Chet seems to have the upper hand over Wemby in the competition lately. Chet's been stepping up his game consistently, while Wemby's performance has been on a bit of a decline, and his team has been facing some struggles too. In that game, the Warriors had a real chance to win, but it slipped away. If Chet hadn't nailed that last shot, the Warriors would've been celebrating, breaking their losing streak.

I think the Warriors are holding up fine, and I was impressed with what Wiggins have showed in that match. He hit his season high with 31 points, and his shot selection was on point, going 12 for 19.

Looking ahead, the Warriors are gearing up to host the Rockets in their next game. Should be interesting!

The winner is Sheynnis Palacios from Nicaragua, and the odds was +1200. Lucky for those who spotted it right!

I actually stopped watching the show when the Philippines wasn't included in the top 5. She got a lot of awards, so it's surprising that she wasn't part of the top 5. I thought she'd perform better in the Q and A part. The odds could have been better than the winner, which is at +1400.

What a sequence in the 4th quarter! I thought the Warriors had it in the bag when Wiggins nailed that 3-point shot and there was only 1 second left. But, hold up! OKC called a timeout, set up a play for Chet, and he sank a tying 3-point shot. Darn, we're heading to overtime now. The Warriors are still at risk of losing. This game is intense!

Congratulations on this win, the 4th quarter big run by the Bucks lead to this big win. Giannis was really unstoppable which finishes with 37 points.


Warriors are at risk of losing now, they better hold strong in the 4th quarter as they gave up their 18 points lead.
Steph played because he was desperate in helping his team, hopefully the decision he made is right.

Trading is really hard but with the help of research and market exposure on the trading scenario, my passion to trade has more developed. With the help of demo trading, I was able to establish a concept of my own with regards to trading and how to trade successfully in such a high volatile market. Although beginning to trade is always the hardest, but because I was able to gain confidence through research and honing some skills, then I was able to overcome the hurdles in trading wherein other traders would only prefer to leave the market and quit, and just stick to bitcoin long term hodling.

However, even if you have the confidence to trade, that is not enough guarantee that you will be free from errors and losses. In fact, the more you gained losses in the market, the bigger the chance your confidence becomes more firm and established.

Altcoins have the opportunity to attract new people in the crypto space because of their too good to be true offers that made this people to jump investing without doing initial research on the altcoins they are going to risk their money. Just like you OP, you are currently blinded with these altcoins because of their promising profits in the future. But if you have been investing in the crypto market for long, you will know that altcoins are just the scammers tool to scam the people, bitcoin is the only genuine investment in the market.

I'm not saying in general that altcoins are not worthy to invest as there are few altcoins who are highly established in the market and are certainly hard to break them. But still, they won't serve any guarantee that altcoins are better than bitcoin. Bitcoin is the lifeblood in the crypto market, that reason alone should be your eye opener not to fall on the trap of altcoins.

Surely it is. But I don't think all of the crypto or bitcoin investors have landed into bitcointalk forum and find more motivation to invest. Some are just getting some ideas from their trusted crypto influencers or they are just doing their due diligence to research using their little information about bitcoin. If all of them have discovered bitcointalk forum when they are starting to invest, maybe it will serve as their great guide not to fall quickly on the different scams happening in the crypto market that made them lose their hard-earned money.

However, there's no late in entering the bitcointalk forum. You will still have a lot to learn if you explore the forum diligently and understand the important topics that are raised and discussed. This forum is worth to keep just like the members here are worth our trust and appreciation.

It seems like the import had an off night. Despite being on a three-game losing streak, Summers showed some promising performances in the last two games, scoring 32 points against Northport and 27 points against the Meralco Bolts. Hopefully, there will be more opportunities in the future, and when they start winning, it will be a more consistent trend.

Looking ahead, they have some tough matchups in the next two games, facing Ginebra first and then SMB. The losing streak might increase as it's unlikely they'll win against these two teams which are stronger than the teams that have beaten them.

What do you think about Clarkson's outstanding performance? The dude scored an impressive 37 points against the Suns, probably marking his season high.

He was absolutely on fire not just in this game, but also in the ones before it.

He had some solid shooting, going 14-26, with 5 of those shots coming from beyond the arc. What's even more impressive is that he didn't have a single turnover.

Seems like the Jazz got a good deal with his current salary. Clarkson's proving he's worth more than what he's currently earning.
