I lost my bet on the Warriors vs. Cavaliers game, but I'm definitely backing them once again. Hopefully, Draymond won't make any mistakes that result in him being thrown out of the game. The Warriors are currently on a 2-game losing streak, and I feel they may come back to win this one. Yes, the size of the Wolves might bother the Warriors again, but as long as they improve their outside shooting, they have a chance to win.

Curry needs some help from the other known scorers of the team—Kuminga, Thompson, and Wiggins, especially Wiggins. He must step up and score at least 20 points, and he can do that by using his athleticism. They can't afford to lose again this time.

I don't have any issues because they are paying, and delays are not a problem for me. Sometimes, the payment arrives in the same week, and based on my accounting, payments are made in full so far, occasionally with just a small delay, which is not a big deal.

I'm glad I followed what my instincts were telling me; that win in the 3rd quarter saved my losing bet on the entire game. Overall, I'm still in profit as all the games have concluded. The Warriors need to improve their outside shooting because the Cavaliers have been capitalizing on points in the paint.

The 3rd quarter was the easiest; I thought they would continue the momentum in the 4th.


He is okay now, as reported he was already out from the hospital

Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. The Warriors had a tough second quarter, being outscored by 17 points after leading by just 1 in the first quarter. Now, it's time to continue supporting them. They are at -4.5 in the 3rd quarter, and considering the Warriors are typically a strong 3rd quarter team, I'm betting on them in the hope that they'll narrow the lead to single digits going into the 4th quarter.

That's difficult to achieve because labeling someone as a gambler implies they are very active in gambling. Trading requires focus, and it's challenging to find success if time is not fully dedicated to trading.

With numerous games on a daily basis, a gambler might be too engrossed in gambling. It's crucial to choose one path for success, that is either become a successful trader or a successful gambler. Perhaps one can be a successful trader if gambling is pursued purely for fun.

I appreciate your confidence in the Magic. They are the desperate team in this situation. While the Bucks typically attract bets due to their reputation, the -3.5 spread might make people lean towards them automatically. It's tough to follow the public consensus all the time; sometimes, we need to deviate. I see value in the Magic winning here, but I'm playing it a bit safer with my bet. Here's hoping we both win our bets.



Good luck to us, I'm thinking if Warriors would bounce back strong, they could win by double digit here, so either way both speads are covered easily.

Actually Cleveland has a bad ATS road record, they are only 1-3.

Okay, so for tomorrow's games, I'm eyeing two expected entertaining matchups.

1- Bucks vs. Magic: The Bucks might still be without Lillard, facing the home team Magic who are currently on a 2-game losing streak. The Bucks recently lost to the Pacers; will they bounce back with a win here? I'm leaning towards the Magic, but with points handicap +3.5.

2- Warriors vs. Cleveland: Curry and his teammates fell to Mitchell and company on November 3rd. Will they bounce back strong as they play at home? Well, I guess it's a no-brainer; taking the -3.5 Warriors is the easy call here.

Unfortunately, the world revolves with money right now. If you don't have the capability to pay, you will never received good ideas or strategies that will help you maximize the profits of your investment. However, with the existence of paid channels these days, I cannot say generally that they are into scams. Some are actually just trying to use their channels at an advantage to provide helpful tips and ideas in exchange for money to improve trading and be successful on it. Some are really reliable but majority are already driven with greed and end up scamming the people while trying to market their strategies in exchange for money.

And those who are greedy and are already hunger for profits will eventually bite this kind of offer. But still end up losing their trades because what they paid do not really work, even if they say that work for those who provided them.

Illegal activities have been rampant already even before the inception of bitcoin so its obvious that even with fiat alone, committing crimes has already become a norm. But since the government  is here to protect their fiat, so the people have no right to complain about fiat. But with the existence of bitcoin that becomes a threat to fiat and its government due to its decentralization nature, the government has find a good reason to put all the blame in bitcoin.

In reality, bitcoin is just a tool and it has no capabilities to manipulate the people to do illegal activities. But with greed that has motivated the people to behave illegally, then that could be the big reason why these type of people have resort into making illicit activities because they have taken advantage on the anonymous nature of bitcoin and use it on its wrong purposes.

I would agree that lots of money came in on the Pacers if Lillard did play. I think the main reason why the line moved was because Lillard was announced unavailable in that game, so bookmakers adjusted the spread. The Bucks at -1.5 is still very attractive to bettors even without Lillard, so I guess it's the public play. Therefore, I think the public lost their bets on that game.

He wants to win, so he has no choice but to train hard, especially since Inoue isn't an ordinary fighter—he's called 'The Beast' for a reason. Inoue is also training hard for this unification fight; it's a big bout for him, and success here will be added to his resume. As we all know, Inoue could make history if he keeps winning championships in every division he climbs to.



If the fight between Ancajas and Inoue wasn't postponed, we could probably have another champion. Now we only have one, and there's a risk of losing it if he can't beat Inoue's style. Hopefully, he will win, but I don't expect a lot though.

I would be fine regardless of the price of Bitcoin because when I'm gambling, I separate my Bitcoin for that purpose only, and the rest is for investment.

However, recently, the transaction fees have been very high, so it has a big impact on me. I can't gamble anytime I want; I just have to wait until the transaction fees become more affordable. As of now, it's still not affordable, with transaction fees as high as $5. I'm not a high roller, so this really affects me.

Mistakes are actually normal. Even a skillful and professional trader still creates mistakes in trading. But the important thing here is that once you have committed a mistake that made you lose your trades, then make sure that you learned from that mistake and that you are not going to repeat the same mistake again. Mistakes should be an eye opener for us, and from there, we should learn to be more motivated to improve our craft so as to avoid some inevitable mistakes that could lead up into losses.

I'd say controlling our emotions in trading could be the hardest part when trading. But with practice and consistent trading, we learn to overcome our strong emotions until the time comes that we can easily set aside our emotions when we are trading. That way, success becomes more visible as long as you also know how to timing your trades with the market's condition.

 If you analyze it closely, diversifying your portfolio is actually a good choice. But if you mean investing into altcoins who are more risky than bitcoin, then I don't think that will give you more profits aside from bitcoin. In reality, that will only make you more capable to losses since altcoins are more on a pump and dump scheme, today their prices are high but after today, some have suddenly end up with zero value and that's how volatile and unpredictable altcoins are.

However, if you focus on bitcoin which is the lifeblood of the crypto market, you will have more control of your portfolio because you know the high potentials of bitcoin that even it gets dump, it will recover again eventually. If you really want to maximize your profits, then do DCA so that the volume of your bitcoin will increase, and not exactly that you will mixed up your portfolio with altcoins which you don't know actually if they can sustain the market for long or they'll just good at first and eventually lose their value in the long run.

Northport might be the favorite, but when it comes to NLEX against Phoenix, I'm not so sure. Phoenix is a solid team, although they might not be as strong as SMB and Ginebra. I was actually planning to place some bets on the PBA and NBA, but there's a hitch—I don't feel like withdrawing my Bitcoin right now because of the high transaction fees.

What about you guys? What alternatives are you exploring at this time?

Tapales is pushing himself to train harder than his usual routine, and we can't blame him for it. He's going up against the best in the world in that division, and even though he's a champion himself, people see Inoue as more dominant. So, Tapales has to prove them wrong and earn the respect he deserves.

Moreover, if Tapales were to win this fight, he would bring honor to the Philippines, and people might start thinking of him as the next Pacman. Just imagine, a pound-for-pound top fighter falling at the hands of a Filipino underdog champion. That would certainly grab major attention once the news gets out. But for that to happen, Tapales needs to ensure he scores a massive upset win here.

Murray was out too, so Nuggets are also undermanned, if Murray wasn't injured, Nuggets could easily dominate the Warriors in that game IMO. overall, it was a very entertaining game, Curry was quite limited in this game due to the good defense of the Nuggets but it's a winnable game for them, they just made some bad decision down the stretch. 

BTW, Murray is out for 3-4 weeks with  hamstring injury according to report, but it looks like Nuggets are still a very strong team.

This guy is always been an underrated player, with the Nuggets which is playing like a real team, I believe Jackson would be a big help in the playoffs, like KCP.

 What's the purpose in the first place if you intentionally say out loud about your private keys? Because if you aim to get the attention of other people, then surely you will succeed that's why hackers are now sighting on you as their new target. And because of that, you are damn fool because you are trying to put yourself and your own investment in danger, and whoever does that is not actually having the right thinking.

Instead, learn to live lowkey and respect your own privacy. The word private keys means that you only have to keep and deal it with yourself and not to be advertised to other people even your closest family and friends. That is the key to your own investment, and anyone who might accidentally knows it too wil sure to deprive you later on the full control of your wallet and investment.

 Bitcoin is currently priced at $35,630 so reaching its $40k new price resistance may seem to be a piece of cake for bitcoin. Most especially that the market is looking forward for big events in the next months, then I must say as long as the market remains to be in a positive position, then we have no reason to expect that bitcoin price will be compromised again. However, the market is still unpredictable and it does not mean that if bitcoin is currently in a positive position at the moment, then its price will continue to soar high without chances of dropping.

That's why volatility is here. People should not be too confident that whatever they see at the moment is now fixed and will never be susceptible to changes. Of course, this is not possible. As long as volatility is highly encouraged, then we can always speculate for another price drop next to the price surging on bitcoin. But it also depends if the positive factors will continue to affect the market positively, then we might be seeing a new all time high for bitcoin as early before this year ends.

Education is always the key. A lot of us have been claiming that bitcoin is like this or like that, and that its a get-rich quick thing, and it turned out that everything we believe about bitcoin are not actually the facts since we never get the chance to do due diligence to research since we only rely on information coming from youtubers who have nothing to do but to hype bitcoin or to attack bitcoin negatively.

This was exactly like me way back before. However, when I enter the bitcointalk forum, I realized that I've been living with lies on bitcoin and maybe that's the reason that I fail to appreciate it. Bitcoin is the key to experience freedom from the shadows of the government. Bitcoin is our future. And with its decentralized blockchain, it's giving us the opportunity to use and invest bitcoin freely without the interruption of the government or from any third party or group.
