Only four weeks remain on the regular season of our league, time sure flies, currently there are only three teams that are out mathematically from the playoffs, but realistically the three 5-6 teams should be out as well since at best they could get a 9-6 record, and since their PF are all lower than the PF of the teams at the top then they will require for one of the 8-3 teams to lose all their games or to lose at least three and then win the tiebreaker, not very likely if I must say so.
This leaves the two 6-5 teams as the only ones that are legitimately on the hunt, however after taking a look at the remaining games of each team I would think the Bit Bowlers and the Barbarians seem to have the hardest schedule ahead, with a key match taking place this week between the Barbarians and the Moon Coiners, with whoever wins it almost securing their spot to the playoffs, while the losing team will most likely have to battle to the end for the fourth spot with the Bit Bowlers and twEntiwan.
Nice Synopsis man! I put a few satoshis down on the game last night. For whatever reason I was feeling the Eagles, even though I think the Chiefs are the better team. Getting the Eagles at +3 obviously meant I won my bet, only wish I had bet just a little bit more (per usual lol).
Going to be a fun week of games this week being the Thanksgiving Holiday and all. 3 games on Thursday and even 1 on Friday. I think this may be the first "Black Friday" game the NFL has ever had...but maybe I'm wrong.
That was a nice win ypu must have cringed when ypu saw how open Marquez got open and then brick handed it lol. I'm of the opinion with 3 timeouts left amd a little less than 2 minutes to go, eagles could have easily made their way down into field goal position if not driving right down for a td. Eagles are legit right now. KC WR corp is their weak point and it was seriously apparent when Kelce was hurt. They need to address that if they want another Superbowl. I agree, it is a nice synopsis South Park wrote up. Makes me kind of depressed being one of those 5-6 teams they mentioned. Injuries these past few years have really killed me. The crazy thing is in 3 of my 6 leagues I'm in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, with having lost many of the same players. I lost Chubb and Burrow in multiple leagues and somehow kept winning. Anways..it's utterly depressing that we are well in to the second half of the season. To me there is nothing better than the beginning of fall, where football is just getting kicked off, the weather is still somewhat warm, but not hot, nor typically too cold. Pumpkin spice everything..FUCK I love NFL Fall time so much. Everyone enjoy what time we have left of the year!! Goes to show depth drafting and really checking out the waiver wire sometimes ends up being the reason people win. I'm convinced you need to nail at least 3 solid starters in round 10 and on or the waiver wire to win. Injuries seem to be getting worse and worse every year. (Coming from the guy in last place  😀 |

A couple of good games airing on ESPN tonight as we roll into the holidays. First up the Bucks vs the Celtics. This should be a great game with 2 of the best teams in the league. Then we have the Suns vs the Warriors. I’m expecting the Suns to win this game easily as the Warriors have been struggling a bit, so it might be worth betting on.
Yeah can't wait for the Bucks celts game. Might be an eastern conference finals preview early in the year. Wanted to stick some money on the game but can't figure out which way I want to lean. Might end up throwing it on the over and root for both teams offenses lol. If I had to go with my gut I'd say celts and the money line. |

If I had a legal leg to stand on I mean yeah. Now 9 years is long but well worth it in the end if you end up getting a quarter million usd. And besides unclaimed lottery just ends up 100% in the hands of politicians and I would imagine end up being "misallocated" in a lot of countries. But yeah definitely worth a fight if anyone owes you money.

1 win 2 losses last night bringing 16 day total to 27-21 against the book. Couple good games tonight. I've been riding the Knicks but they got a tough game tonight I'm laying off that game. San Antonio +8.5 against the Clippers. I'm not buying the clips they have yet to gel and barely got by Houston. Taking the home dogs here. Pelicans +1.5 at home. Sac on a second night of a back to back. Boston -8.5 against Hornets. Hornets stink and Boston is rolling early, I like them here in a single digit odds game. Good luck tonight everyone. 1-2 again last night, bringing my 17 total to 28-23. Need to have a good night tonight. Pelicans looked good way better than I thought they'd do. Tonight here are my 3 picks: Lakers -7.5 at home. On TNT they shoukd be able to handle this game easily. Pacers +3.5. I know they are on the road against a tough Atlanta team but think they can pull this one out. Magic -1.5 at home and basically a pickem. Good luck tonight everyone! |

It’s not a good reason to hold back because his role was supposed to be dominating the paint not shooting 3s due to his height advantage. I know that some big man shooting nowadays but they dominate paint at the same time too like Chet. Wemby on the other hand contributes a lot of turn over because he can’t secure properly the ball once he got it. He can’t be a good player design to right role for his height if he is afraid to have a contact since basketball is a physical sports. I remember reading an article which Coach Pop already stated that Wemby is avoiding a contact play. https://www.sacurrent.com/arts/celtics-legend-blasts-spurs-popovich-for-not-getting-wemby-involved-on-offense-32981841We do need to remember that this new age of big man are not really dominating the paint all that much, there are some like Embiid maybe, but Chet is like 100 pounds soaking wet, that dude is not going to dominate anyone. How do you reckon he could back people up, he doesn't have any muscle at all, he is not going to be able to post anyone up, he is going to be ruined down low if he goes there. Whereas, if he shoots threes, him and wemby have that advantage, it would be nearly impossible to block them, probably on three pointers attempted, they will have the lowest amount of blocked shots ever, and they are not even getting their faces covered neither, people can barely reach to that. So they will have a clear shot to take, I believe that's a good thing for them. I think it would be smart to consider them as the most important part of their team, even with not going inside for post ups, they are still managing to find points and that's a good thing for them. I know the game is changing and maybe I'm old but being able to guard down low is key for a big man. In the playoffs specifically if ypu run into a team with a monster front court ypu are gonna get beat on the boards and paint points. Unless ypu tear through the playoffs shooting the lights out, relying on the 3 ball to take ypu home usually runs into a wall at some point. Have to imagine losing the rebounding advantage is a key determination of losing series. |

As a Turkish person, I really got excited about the fact that Alperen played so well again, he is their highest scorer ppg, and he is not even using the most FGA neither, he is third, but his rate is so high. Plus, they gave him the last ball, so that he would go against the king himself, I do agree that Lebron may not be the greatest post defender in the world, but that is still such a big responsibility at such a young age, and not that he disappointed, he went ahead and scored that last bucket, that was an insane situation and definitely an experience that he will not forget anytime soon. I believe Alperen could be a great star one day if they keep using him like this, he just needs to take care of his foul troubles.
Yeah I like his game a lot. Getting in foul trouble is an issue for a lot of younger players, they have a difficult time not reaching in. Vets and guys who know the game know how to draw fouls and get guys in foul trouble if they seem a bit to jumpy. Houston is building a nice little team. Young but they should be a good team moving forward. |

I mean yeah as long as you are winning. But if you are down and riding the rails how would gambling receive stress? Same thing with improves mood. I'd say the opposite most of the times. This seems to be referring to light entertaining gambling but this can't be thought of as the same as the everyday addicted gambler.

Another 3-0 day against the book making it 6-0 in the last 2 days. Bringing my 15 day total to 26-19 finally clearing some space. Today I got 3 homes teams 2 dogs and one favorite. Pacers -4.5 at home. Think those will be a blowout 10-15 point win. Cavs +3.5 against the Nuggets. Hate betting against Denver but seems like a good place. Nuts will have a tough time shutting down spina in this game. Mavs +2.5 I know sacramento is playing well but I like Dallas at home. Good luck tonight everyone! 1 win 2 losses last night bringing 16 day total to 27-21 against the book. Couple good games tonight. I've been riding the Knicks but they got a tough game tonight I'm laying off that game. San Antonio +8.5 against the Clippers. I'm not buying the clips they have yet to gel and barely got by Houston.

According to a recent Twitter post by @Finbold, a financial news and information platform, Shib has emerged as the most popular token held by Ethereum whales. Upon encountering this news via CoinMarketCap's news feed this morning, I had originally intended to sell my Shib. However, the announcement has led me to believe that Shib could perform exceptionally well this year. As a Shib enthusiast, I would encourage others to hold onto their tokens as we may witness prosperous times ahead, and our patience may result in significant reward.
How do they categorize popular? I can think of a ton more tokens that are more popular. Maybe the amount of tokens moved in a given time frame? Numbers can be manipulated any which waynyou want them to look so I'd be weary on thinking shib is the most "popular" amongst eth holders. |

Next bull run is getting so close and so it won't be bad if buy some low cap altcoins for it. I know that is risky step but what to do? Btc ether already pump a lot and my budget is low. I manage extra budget for buy those altcoins.so can you suggest some low cap altcoins name? Please don't throw btc, Ether, bnb, doge, xrp names blindly (some people always suggest btc eth bnb xrp everywhere) You seem to be here for the "get rich" part of it. Well if ypu are dying to get your hands on what most likely is a pointless low cap coin go right ahead but most likely ypu will get burned or at best mirror bitcoins gaming but with much more risk toed to it. There is nothing wrong with riding bitcoin to 1, 2 3 hundred thousand dollars. |

Well the giants went ahead amd screwd themselves up lol. No clue how Washington let the giants beat them up like that lol. For some reason the giants no matter how bad they are seem to play Washington well. Can't beat the eagles or cowboys but love to beat up on Washington.
Actually took theor defense in 2 of my leagues this week lol.

Rockets won 6 in a row and Clippers lost 6 in a row. Most people expect Rockets to win but I thought the exact opposite. This must be the game that both streaks are over. Rockets were close to win the game but Harden said the last word. He played like his Rockets days against Rockets ironically.
This Clippers should be in higher places, since that bad streak is over I believe they'll climb up fast. They promise so much with that roster. Harden is back to normal, Westbrook accepted his bench role, with Kawhi and George they should be in top 5 in the West.
I think his fight against Houston was quite breathtaking. They were very close to beating the Clippers with Paul George, James Harden and Westbrook, and James Harden wrote the fate of the match until the last second. With the last 5-6 seconds left in the game, James Harden took a step back from outside the line and made that three-pointer and won the foul. As I said, Houston could have had a chance for the Rockets if it wasn't for the foul, Houston put up a good fight until the last second of the game. James Harden haunted his former team with this three-pointer. Harden does this against sub par teams takes advantage when he cans. Still think this version of the Clippers barely hits .500 on the year, it doesn't seem like a solid team. Just a bunch of good/star vets and trying to get them to all play well together. Too many Chiefs if you ask me. |

Clean sweep 3-0 last night. Bringing my 14 day total to 23-19. All those games were blowouts and not even close. Tonight there are a couple odds that are suspect. Bulls +2.5 at home thought the odds would be a little higher taking the home team here. Riding the Knicks here but on a second day of a back to back, just think the Hornets are that bad. Knicks -7 Last Pelicans +6.5 at home against the wolves. This is higher than I thought it would have been. Taking the home year here tonight. Good luck everyone. Another 3-0 day against the book making it 6-0 in the last 2 days. Bringing my 15 day total to 26-19 finally clearing some space. Today I got 3 homes teams 2 dogs and one favorite. Pacers -4.5 at home. Think those will be a blowout 10-15 point win. Cavs +3.5 against the Nuggets. Hate betting against Denver but seems like a good place.

Bitcoin been the king in the crypto world is facing a very severed congestion problem and things are not working well with businesspeople that doing business with bitcoin and small-scale businesses that are accepting bitcoin for transaction so in the period there are some altcoins can use the opportunity to skyrocket their coins. And if altcoins do well in this period, then they will make a lot of money as profit because many customers of bitcoin will join the most performing altcoin (s).
Now a question arises again in the mist of the bitcoin network congestion. Since Altcoins are depending on bitcoin on any necessary upward movement, does it mean that altcoins network also congesting to produce high transaction fees? This has been in my mind for sometimes so I decided to ask it today. Have you heard of it because I have not heard of it. Or the congestion is for all the cryptocurrencies?
Has to to with the rise and popularity of that coin. I always hear about these fringe projects that claim no congestion but it's just a simple fact that no one is using that blockchain so of course if properly running its Smooth and fast. The next 10 years will be about how these coins figure out the tps issues whether it be L2 type things or something else. |

Watching this In-season tournament deal right now...just feel really odd. Watching my Chicago Bulls facing off against the Orlando Magic. The court is painted all red which is actually kind of cool. Might be one of the final games we see DeRozan, Vuc, Lavine and potentially others, so I'm going to try and enjoy it..but it is truly time to move on and they all could make for VERY nice fill in pieces elsewhere. Anti-up boys and girls, give my bulls some young talent!   I actually find these courts hard to watch on. I know it's a promotional opportunity it just feels like more of a Harlem globetrotter thing than and actual nba game. I'm starting to feel like the old man who can't deal with change lol. I kind of like this in season tournament puts a little juice into the beginning of the NBA season. |

That's brutal for Burrow and the Bengals. Door is open for Baltimore to take the league with the browns down without Watson too. Pittsburg hanging strong which is surprising I didn't have them doing anything this year. Tomlin is a good coach makes the most of his teams. As a giants fan it's a race to a top 2 pick between them, carolina and the Pats. I think with Murray back Zona will win a couple more games easily.

How many people have you been able to change after they get addicted to gambling? And what is there level of addiction?
From my own experience, I get to know that those gamblers who are secretly gambling in their rooms and develop the addiction habit have the biggest problem, gambling addiction is like 'wanting more' and never getting enough, you will have all day thinking about gambling, maybe if you do this or you do that, maybe the result will be different.
I was able to talk sense into two different addicted gamblers and they also get help from family members, but the major reason why they too so long in their addiction is because they don't open up to anybody, they kept it all inside of them and it's killing them.
Things get better after they voiced out about their addiction and they are able to get help, any gambling addicts you know of? what method works for you when helping them?
If you are facing gambling addictions and you are keeping it all to yourself, you are worsening your problem, find someone who is close to you and open up to them, letting it all out will bring you some relieve and hopefully you will get better, don't wait till you hit the rock bottom before you say it all out.
Have never dealt with a rock bottom gambler in my life. A lot of my friends like me are casual betters and just lay bets on sports to make them more entertaining, fantasy football leagues etc. Same thing with brick and mortar casinos, go there to have fun. No one has had life issues like losing a family, house, missing bills etc. But I'd have to say it's difficult to alter anyone addicted to anything. Most of the time they need professional help for permanent results. |

Well, guys, I guess a lot of you already know this. Poloniex, aka Justin Sun's own Exchange, suffered a hack of 60M+ USD, and they are offering a 5% Bounty (if there are any white hat hackers here or do you know an interested one, here is the official announcement https://x.com/Poloniex/status/1722956238160536049?s=20). On the other hand, TRX and USDD do not seem to suffer any backlash from this news. Topic Security Breach and Protection Layers. Do you think that Exchanges and DeFI need more development and investments here or is this just something we have to lay down our heads and deal with? I will be honest I never even knew that poloniex was even still operating lol. I used to use them a long time ago and it was a pretty good exchange. Do they even still operate in the US? But on this note why do people keep.their crypto on exchanges? Seriously will people ever learn? It's not a wallet amd shouldn't be treated as such otherwise you will inevitably lose your money. |
