He's different and has a different approach towards his body, he invests a lot on it and if every player is getting a huge contract as his. Then, for sure that they'll also the same self care with their bodies and will invest $1M on it yearly.
LeBron is a good example because, despite being an exceptional player, he still ensures to take care of his body. You can really tell that he is a disciplined man, unlike other superstars who love to party and enjoy their fortunes made in the NBA, which can lead them to forget about their future. At Lebron's age now, he still a decent player who could easily average a double double, so I'm sure he'll stay for awhile. He has taken care of himself and not just taking care but investing in the health and we can see the results of it. Despite his age, he's still like before although of course there's still the difference between his prime and his current status. But looking at the health that he's got, that's because of how he invested his money into his health and not just a few amount of money but IIRC, that's like around $1M annually. Those young calibers should do the same as his if they're having a good amount of their contracts. I am sure that if one of his sons or both of them gets in, that's one tip that he's going to teach them. With the money that they've got from those huge contracts, they should follow what LeBron did to his health, investing to make sure that he can last up to date and still competing. Though it's not just investing but also taking care of it in terms of discipline, having that will and make sure that you are caring about your future and your career, that's the legacy that he will leave from this league. Not the same as he is from his prime, but compared to other players, it's undeniable that he is still exceeding and still capable to play. |

I believe that a bull run will occur soon, according to the predictions of many experts that the bull run will occur at the end of the year and the beginning of the year because there will be a halving day in 2024, now is a good opportunity to continue buying so that we can earn big profits, and that the most important thing is to always be patient and not panic when a correction occurs.
Most of the time, when an upcoming halving will take place, there are market movements that will happen either a good pump or a little dump chances that whale dive will attract the seller to dump their coins. Then afterwards a strong pump will happen while waiting for the halving, and after that there are still chances that the market will continue and may reach another ATH. The decision always depends on your anticipation and how you will place your target amount to sell out. |

It’s a sign that the players are being paid too much money in my opinion. This is why we keep seeing super teams popping up. Players taking less money to team up used to be honorable, but now they are all making so much money that people are praising star players for only taking 35-40 million dollars per year to help their team. Not to mention endorsements make up a big part of their income and they get more endorsements with championships under their belt.
They already know there's a lot of money coming in, so they take advantage of it. I don't think we will see another team who are paid less but can win a championship. Owners today don't even care about luxury tax anymore. They must be making more even if they need to pay that amount. It's business as usual but I am kind of curious how they can still make profits despite building a super team. Maybe a year or more we will see a player making $100 per year and it won't even be surprising anymore. I'm also expecting to see that as it's no longer impossible after seeing those huge contracts from a young star players, I mean some of those superstars now might demand for a better deal after the contract expires. Giving another team to bring on the table a huge offer to try bringing them and signing them for a trade, $100M /year is really huge, but for the team owner who wants great improvement with his team. That amount is not by far can be offered as it can be generated back when success in chasing a title takes place. |

Giving those live viewers a reason to watch them and have a closer look at the way they've fought. It's an opportunity for both Santiago
and Donaire to hype up their names, more chance to earn money if they earn the attention of more crowd/viewers.
No doubt, Donaire and Santiago would earn a larger sum of money by being the undercard fight for Spence vs Crawford. In terms of hype, Donaire is already well-known, so he only needs a bit more exposure. It's actually Santiago who will be presented with a great opportunity because if he wins this fight, promoting his next fight would not be difficult. The changes made to the fight should be appreciated as the promoters simply aim to make it a more successful event. Agree, Santiago is new to this kind of stage as he has not fought in Vegas yet if I'm correct so another disadvantage for him. Money-wise, I don't know if the promoters will compensate for the postponement of this fight so it will be put in the undercard of Spence vs Crawford fight but definitely this is a big plus/attraction to the main event so i think money will flow to the purse of Donaire and Santiago lol. And we all know that it's a business aside from the front of being a sport. They are more on the money and how they will get that huge compensations out of the fight that they will promote. Both Santiago and Donaire will earn not just the possible crowd, but the main deal is the money that will going to flow. It's the way how they will use this opportunity individually to hype up their careers, more viewers more chance of good upcoming fights. |

But we don't know for sure if if it's the case in the OP. We know that wife of the OP's friend thinks "he's spending a lot of time gambling". If you gamble 2-3 hours per week it may look to your relatives as "a lot of time". Don't get me wrong, I think that most probably, OP's friend is a problem gambler. I just want to say that that's not necessarily the case.
Gambling 2-3 hours a week is very common because it is very short time. which is 25-26 minutes per day. In this short period of time it is possible to gamble away from people's eyes because gambling can be done very easily on a smartphone and anywhere. by following this strategy no one will become addicted to gambling and no one will even know about it. and it doesn't even require threats from anyone. But if a person gambles for a long time then he becomes addicted and everyone knows about his gambling in which case he may face threats from his relatives or family members To be honest it's a short amount of time even or a non-addict. It's just like you play a one game on of your favorite online game, it is that short to be honest. I think I can't consider playing 30 mins a day an addict, I can see that person as a regular gambler who are just trying to do a past time or finding entertainment on gambling. If we recieve such threats, it's not worth it, I would probably stop doing gambling if I'm not that addicted but yeah there are people who are addicted that even a threat won't faze them. Yes, that's right. There are people who will continue playing even there's an already threat and they will not mind it as they will wanted to fill what they wanted. People who already have a deep engagement with gambling are hard to change mind, whatever the reason behind it, they will insist on the needs of playing/betting. Most of the time, those are people who turned themselves into addicted gambler, tough to convince to stop. |

I agree with you, there will be a lot of bitcoin maximalists here who don't like that fact, but there's no denying that ethereum's profits will be bigger than bitcoin's these days. Bitcoin is getting bigger and safer, but that will also prevent bitcoin from generating huge profits as before. And it can be said that Ethereum is a perfect choice for those who want bigger profits while still being safer than other altcoins. I believe everyone realizes that, and many people are also quietly investing mostly in ETH instead of bitcoin, but many people don't want to say it. There is a lot of belief about that possibility among investors that they will also consider Ethereum as one of their long-term investment assets. Bitcoin requires a lot of money to provide very high returns for its holders due to its high price, but Ethreum is still relatively cheap and has the potential to provide higher returns than bitcoin. But on the investment side, you shouldn't just fixate on the potential returns you will get, but you also need to understand the level of security you have on your investment assets. Bitcoin is safe as a decentralized asset, it supports your financial privacy, while Ethreum does not will reach the same level as bitcoin. You are right, we should not be so focused on profits that we forget about our own safety. But once we choose to invest in crypto, it means that we took the risk because it is the riskiest of all markets. If you want to be safe, gold and real estate or stocks are better options than bitcoin, but why don't more people choose them? Is it because their profits are so low? I also hold the majority of bitcoin, but we shouldn't just focus on bitcoin and ignore the opportunity with other altcoins. Because opportunities will never last forever, take advantage of them as much as you can. We need to define, what is our purpose? Profit or prove yourself right, I'm here for profit, not arguing to prove what I say is right. So I don't want to hear everyone's opinion that only invest in bitcoin and should ignore altcoins, I will invest with my own vision. It's true when we make a wrong decision then what will happen we will lose, trading or investing in crypto is so complicated and risky so it takes a lot of things to be prepared, it's a shame to only focus on Bitcoin because we can also get a profit from other coins and it must be utilized. Investing needs to be accompanied by studying and researching. You should always have a basic understanding of the project that you will going to support and invest in your money. I see the point that ETH will pump. We can't ignore that fact, but it's the timing of your investment and how you understand the process that will let you harvest the fruit of your success. Invest when you already have the knowledge and the patience to hold and wait, more on waiting and anticipating to avoid losing your money. |

I don't think the price of the bnb can drop that much and you can buy at that time. BNB marketing is expanding rapidly and their number of investors is increasing every day so you will never get a big dip.
They don't need any marketing anymore because BNB is already famous and the reach that it has got is too wide. In terms of popularity, I guess you are right, BNB as a platform already gains a lot of attention, though in terms of the coin itself, still need that support and if marketing is one of those good ways to attract more investors and supporters they should still consider promoting the project itself with all the features and usages. If you don't want to buy now then you can trade where your profit will be less but you won't be short of money.
If someone is long term on BNB, he has to take note that the time now is a considerable time to buy. Before the bull run, everything is cheap. And when that comes, you might never see the price that it has been before and I've seen it happen for some altcoins and possible for BNB. It's timing to invest that matter in every project/coin that you will going to invest in, with good anticipation you'll be able to earn decently. |

Calling someone a "son of a loser"... isn't that a bit too harsh? Everyone falters at times; it's human nature. Learning from our mistakes is, indeed, important, but let's not trivialize the complexity of the issues at hand with such derogatory labels.
Well everyone ever make fault, but blaming someone for our mistake is really not tolerable mistake since they're a manipulator. If they can admit they was wrong and learn to responsible with anything that they were done, this mistake can be forgiven and they will learn to become a better person. Sometime you need to be harsh, you can't always accept every bad thing and think they will learn, you need to shut their mouth and intimidate them. In the same manner, rectifying your mistake by committing another mistake will never get you to the right path. Because in that way, you will still find yourself in a cycle where you cannot get out unless if you had an eye opener to see things clearly and that what you did is actually not okay. You are just thinking that it is okay because you're too accustomed with that habit but there's still some room to improve and learn from those mistakes, and while we're still breathing, we do have the chance make things better. It's on you and how you take the responsibility. You are right in terms of pointing fingers and when the truth came out, you won't be able to deny the things that you've done. Better to accept and face your mistake instead of blaming someone else to escape from the messed you have done, it will not add more burden to you when you are ready to accept and face the consequences. You need time to assess and reflect everything to find that willingness to change up and not to make that same mistake again. |

Tbh, I'd still have the Nuggets over the current Suns rosters. My views would change in mid season whether or not the Suns had an upgrade or just the same.
While too many talks about the rumors and biggest contracts, people are forgetting that the Nuggets are still Nuggets and they can still be this upcoming season's top team. But yes, that's likely to change when we see what happens to them in the mid-season. Because from there, it's going to be visible whether they're still dominating and they're likely to get into the playoffs. Although some of them have already been traded and gone out of the team but the entire major players are still intact. No one would forget what the Nuggets did last season; it's just that they aren't a superteam, so the hype isn't really that big. Actually, there are still plenty of fans who believe the Nuggets won't repeat. This poses a challenge for them, and considering how humble this team is, they surely won't be complacent. Instead, they will work to improve their weaknesses. Everyone has their own interpretations of whatever the current updates around NBA, but, yes, Nuggets are still the same in terms of the core players, they still have that winning rotations. It's going to be a nice challenge to them in repeating the back-to-back title or even doing a grand slam, though too far from that as we all know, every teams are really trying to make good improvements. We just need to wait. Once the season begins, we will see those teams to play and who are the ones who improve the most. |

Yeah it is on a bigger stage but sadly they are not the main event.
Regardless, even not a main event, what matter is, it's a title fight. Not that really a big deal that from an expected main event, it will now be part of the undercard of the mega bout between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. Promoters did a great job here to boost the PPV sales after the changes happened on the original undercard list. The main event is not just a unification bought but for the undisputed belts so it really deserves as the main event. And there is a possibility that Bud might take the pound-for-pound king status if he dominates and wins the fight. But I would've preferred this fight as the main undercard since this is a title fight. It is still Pitbull Cruz against Giovanni Cabrera as the main supporting event though it is also a WBA and WBC eliminator. And the fact that Donaire is not a PBC fighter, it is not surprising that they prefer Pitbull to have better exposure leading into the main event. I doubt Donaire will get a share of the PPV revenue but obviously, he gets a higher purse here rather than the earlier schedule which is why both he and Santiago have no problem moving their scheduled fight. Looking forward for some historic victories by Donaire and Crawford. Oldest current champion, the oldest bantamweight champion ever for Donaire, and the first-ever 2-division undisputed champion in the 4-belt era for Crawford. Sometimes, the promoters are after for the purse that they can get from the fight. So yes, definitely, both camps are fine getting a new schedule and being undercard of the one of the most anticipated fights this year. This will be a good selling point for Donaire's camp if he will win on this fight, and won't think of retiring from this sports if they will really get the belt. Aside from the good publicity that they can get from this new sched, it may be a deciding factor for Donaire where to go next for his career. For sure, all parties are okay in switching the schedule as they will be placed on a much wider slot, I mean even you are playing in an undercard fight, but the main event is what the whole world is anticipated. The publicities and the chance of gaining more viewers and fans that will solidize your career, I like to see both fighters being inspired to come up with a toe-to-toe confrontations,. Giving those live viewers a reason to watch them and have a closer look at the way they've fought. It's an opportunity for both Santiago and Donaire to hype up their names, more chance to earn money if they earn the attention of more crowd/viewers. |

Addiction to anything is no good, and you are talking about gambling here, which in itself is kind of derogative.
You cannot be a successful gambler if you are not addicted.This has many meanings as a sentence but what I want to point out is yes gambling is negative in itself as most of the times leads people to lose money while it takes much time and much gambling in order to achieve a huge hit,kinda like x10.000 to x300.000 your bet which I consider great wins.You cannot achieve these if you are not addicted and you only play like once in a while,it can happen to win even playing that little however these cases can be counted with the fingers of one hand.So overall you need to be addicted in order to achieve one of those huge wins which would make you successful despite that being only momentary as you will most probably lose it all again. Somehow this is the real case here since if we look back the activities they participated with for sure they go thru many troubles and a lot of money has been lost on earliest of their career. If they never play to much well maybe we cannot see those successful gamblers succeed on their careers and we will never see some of them became famous since for sure they might quit because they are in control then also cannot afford to lose huge if they discipline their selves toward gambling. Exactly, it's true that before you can achieve you needed to spend more time and money to execute whatever strategy you have to win decently, only a lucky gambler can hit a jackpot in a onetime shot. And for sure, it's not always or not a usual thing that we will see inside gambling house, but those successful gamblers, they spent money and not just money, but a decent amount of money to keep pushing. With the knowledge that they've learned and the control that they've possessed, now they are enjoying the benefits. |

Indeed, I have a plan to sell my bitcoin when Bullrun or more precisely I will sell Bitcoin when touching a new ATH with numbers above $ 70k, I have plans in sales, I will definitely sell Bitcoin at that time even though not the highest ATH in the cycle.
Then I will take some advantages and wait for the bearish season again to start collecting bitcoin, so that my bitcoin supplies are even more in the next cycle, this is quite terrible, but I really believe in Bitcoin in the future.
Very effective if you fully trust your investments, just buy low and sell high strategy, which is a common practice in terms of trading, though the question is your timing. We know by the fact that crypto has its volatile nature and there's a chance that you may mistakenly interpret the market instead of buying low and selling high it may go to the other side. Just add more knowledge and continue learning from the experience you are earning. The process will continue so with the cycle. |

My advice to traders that are losing is to still continue to trade, but using just 20% while 80% should go into holding. What do you people think about this? Out of 100% fund, what percentage can you advice a trader to use?
I think for beginners to trade 20% of their fund is much and it is risky for them, it will be better if 2 or 5% is used for trading. 20 % is huge for beginners who don't have experience and knowledge. Trading is very risky, I think trading must be done with amount one can afford to lose, and staring small in trading is not bad just to get experience and knowledge which can later help on how to trade big. Beginners needs to master trading with small fund for better trading experience. I think for beginners 10% is more than enough because trading is so risky, with a lack of knowledge and experience I think they need to focus on that first, don't be hasty and expect to make a big profit. Yeah, just feel the market and allow yourself to learn. There are many factors that you need to understand while you are in this type of investment. Either you want to hold and wait or you want to play around and take the risk of trying to trade while the market is active. The chance is always possible to earn. It's just on you if how you will interpret the situation and how willing you are in taking the risk behind your decisions. |

Let's just be honest, the Phoenix Suns did acquire Bol Bol not because of his skill set, it's just that the team doesn't have much choice to acquire a much bigger name and their hands are quite tied in this season that is why they chose him for the reason that they just needed another additional to fill up some space that the team lacked.
But on the bright side, this is the chance for Bol Bol to show what he is made of and to prove that he is just an underrated player which the team saved a lot in acquiring him.
Indeed, they acquire him to fill that space for the center position, and it's also true that if given a chance he may provide decent minutes as a replacement for the center position. More on working with how he can help with their defense as we all know Suns are more on the offensive arsenal but if Bol will manage to contribute in both ends. That might be his ticket to keep the spot. ^Obviously the Phoenix Suns are just trying to open up some space because it's going to hurt them with Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and DeAndre Ayton on their roster. Big names mean big salaries that are eating their salary cap.
It must've hurt the feelings of Cam Payne. He did his best to show how he stepped up his performance in every game just so he could keep his position for the Phoenix Suns. But, this is all business. They now have Beal and they will probably just focus on him and Booker as their guards, they won't need a backup anymore.
That's the sad truth with these teams and the entire league, no matter how good you are then at the end of it everything matters as a business. This could be a blessing in disguise for Cam. He might lose a lot of playing time in the next season with Beal and Booker taking any of the guard positions. Cam if he trains and competes well in San Antonio can shine, especially if Wembanyama turns into a machine next season or the following seasons. Yes, there is a huge chance that Cam Payne will evolve more into a much better player because it is expected that he will get a lot of playing minutes now compared if he's staying in Phoenix where he will not be a priority anymore as there are guards like Booker and Beal to have his position. Hence, I believe that he will be more useful in Spurs and his experience will be useful too to the young generations. Yes, the chance of having longer minutes to play inside the court might be expected for him. I want to see him to progress more with coach Pop' guidance, he can help he already have that talent, just need to keep developing and enhancing for more. |

So as we say, gonna be a win-win situation for Tapales.
It's a win-win situation indeed for Marlon Tapales. This chance of fighting for a unified belt only comes once in a blue moon for a boxer though this may look hard for Tapales to win but the chance itself is already a win and of course, the money will be higher on the standard of Tapales, might be a retirement fee for him once he decides to retire.  Since it's only one week before fight night, let's take a look at some of the options/markets for this fight. I think Inoue by decision @3.10 is juicy one for me since this is his first fight on this division and i think he will be adjusting and i will gamble that he won't KO Fulton on his debut in the super bantamweight division. Only one week and like what you said, that odd for by decision is sweet and for sure gamblers will take that as they have that same thinking as Fulton is the current champ in this division. A chance that we might see Inoue adjusting and observing with how Fulton will execute his strategy and by understanding Fulton's way of fighting. He's more on defensive style. Inoue may fight in the same manner. Let's wait and see if how both fighters will perform. |

Phoenix Suns have signed a 1-year contract with Bol Bol.
Nice, Bol Bol goes to a team with teammates that he can work well properly. I really dont get why people loves and hype so much about bol bol, for me he is pure trash. He doesnt have the good movement that NBA requires, its not only about height, he lack that movility and also some tactis( but this can be learned). I can see him going from team to team without so many minutes and ended up on Japan or Australia, no much more. It's because probably of his father's name. Or maybe he is really that good but he was not given a chance to blossom in the Magic uniform. You can look at his highlights and see if for yourself. And another reason could be is the Wemby effect, this rookie is tall like Bol Bol can dribble the ball as well. And again, we've seen that kind of talent from Bol Bol before. I guess it's good that he had at least a year to show his talent again in Phoenix uniform and hopefully he will be given playing time. There is no "hype" about Bol Bol.  If there was he wouldn't have gotten waived by the Magic. I do think he has a good skill set, just the lack of "mamba mentality" is a big factor. You have to love the game and be willing to improve to make it there. If this experiment fails again it will be his 3rd team in 3 years and without any personal success to show for he might find himself on a plane to China soon maybe. I still think there is a way to succeed for him, he just has to find it. Giving him 1 year for 2,165,000$ is a no brainer. It doesn't hurt the Sun's salary cap and you might get a still raw diamond. You said right, there's no hype with Bol Bol' name the very reason why he's not getting the attention and last season he's playing with the number 1 prospect and the attention is more with Banchero. It's nice to see another opportunity for Bol to play and maybe show his skills and keep his position with the Suns, else, he may no longer have the same chance to play again with another team/s. He needs to keep on improving to save his spot in this league, Skillset wise, he just needs to needed to keep improving for more. |

If I'm not mistaken, it was agreed that Marlon Tapales will indeed face the winner of Inoue vs Fulton fight for unification. Marlon Tapales set for undisputed clash vs winner of Fulton-InoueSo it will be great if he will be there to see the fight and probably will go up in the ring after the fight and challenge the winner for the undisputed 122 lbs. Akhmadaliev will have to wait though, maybe he will go on another title eliminator fight before getting a crack again on whoever has the belt. It will be a pleasure and an honor for Marlon Tapales to get himself in an undisputed clash regardless of who will win in the Inoue-Fulton fight because not all Filipino boxers will have that kind of opportunity to be in that stage to have a unification fight, even Donaire himself didn't made it. Moreover, I already expected this to happen where Tapales will be fighting for a unification fight. It's an honor to step inside the ring and try to unify all the belts in this division. We never know what will happen as the chance of winning is still possible whoever will win against Inoue and Fulton. I mean, Tapales will have that equal chance to unify all the belts and if fate decided to favor him, then it's a great accomplishment that he may have achieved And because of that, expect him to earn a lot of money and to continue making more. |

Bonus whoring used to be an effective method of earning money from online casinos. How it would work was that you would claim a bonus amount, $50 for example, and if the wagering requirements were 20x with a 1% house edge you could bet $1000 dollars only risking the minimum amount and in the end you would expect to lose $10 leaving you with $40 profit. You would then repeat the process at a different casino. Eventually, casinos figured out that people were doing this and made the gambling requirements stricter so that if would be much more difficult to make a profit.
As if they will not adjust for sure, they will serve as a cash-cow for those gamblers who manage to learn this process, and knowing how casino developers learn about the potential to exploit. They can quickly react when they already see traces that it's being used from time to time and for sure casino developers will let you think that you already have the winning patterns, but eventually they will either restrict your account or will adjust to make it more difficult to complete the requirements. |

For me gambling is for fun only and not for being source of income that can sustain our daily needs and wants. And we all know that Gambling is not a work that it will give you a good amount of money as a salary cause in gambling its unpredictable which is you can not say that gambler will win every single bet. So there's a chance that even though you are aiming to win then you will loss. That's a reality so its better to gamble for fun.
Well, in the old days, that is surely the case because it is not advisable or not yet that known to the humankind that there are already professional gamblers that has exists in this world that are gambling for a living. And in the modern times, we cannot deny anymore that this type of professionality is quite a successful one especially if you are keen to any type of analysis, knows how to read datum, know a lot of games, and have a technique that actually works to avoid more losses at the end of the day. And of course, the most important factor that a professional gambler should have, luck. Possible to exist, since there are professional gamblers, people who can manage to win more than lose, they are good at what they are doing with strategy that they've already established. But, the percentage is just a few and more on the side of people who keep losing their money and that's the very reason why we keep seeing more and more casino site or offshore business being open. |

Although there is indeed a chance for Spence to make a fool of himself by making excuses like an injury.
If I remember before, during the rumored (or supposed?) fight between Spence Jr. and Keith Thurman at 152, the former's camp claimed that their boxer is not that fit anymore or in good shape to fight at 147 and consider it as one of the reason why Spence will moved up weight and won't fight Crawford. Regardless if that's true or not, still props to him for finally accepting the fight with Crawford and now finally settle the deal that takes several years in the process. I can't say that both boxers are still at their respective peak, like the way they performed during their prime, but referring to being in "good shape", I think Terence Crawford do have much of that characteristic. Not spoiling the fun or being negative but as I previously said before, not until the day of the fight, there's still a chance that this fight might lead into unexpected scenario "knowing how Spence's camp drama and behaves" since then. I like to add on that, just how Spence failed the fans during the schedule fight against Pacquiao, and same with you, until we are not seeing them both inside the ring, there's still a chance that it won't happen. Though in terms of giving credits for both camps for signing and making these to happen, I would say they should bring this much earlier. But, on the other hand, it's better than never, right? |
