I've to say. The 76ers are the most promising and disappointing team when it comes to them being big underdogs.. - Taking into account this game today 104-106 loss.

1) They can win! and the play considerably better than other top underdogs "aka the Nets" and actually dominate portion of games when they are underdogs.

2) They can never actually "seal the deal" and win the game! I've been disappointed by their closing performances for ages now - if I ever play them again, it will be in bet365 and cashing out before the 4th Quarter, LOL

Also, what's going on with GSW? 76ers were bad to allow them to win but how were they in that situation in the beginning at home.
Warriors rally in the fourth, it's their pride is at stake as they do not want to be embarrass in front of their big crowd, as expected they were able to do it but failed to cover the line. The line was ridiculous to give the Sixers +17 points when this team has been improving lately and warriors is not doing well.

Yes, we can definitely manipulate bitcoin's price if we do have large amount of $$$ to begin with and we know how to play and how to scare off little fishes in this great lake of opportunities. It was done successfully by Willy bot on the rise to ATH on Nov. 2013 and it might be the same thing that happened again on this current year's run.
I think seeing more and more fish in this lake. you would be more difficult to manipulate the price of bitcoin. its could have several weak fish will be affected but certainly other fish will still survive because there are so many fish now
Manipulation is still possible due to the fact that whales are controlling a bigger portion in the total circulation, however it's not a basis to stop investing on bitcoin and be worried about the future because as we go bigger their power to manipulate will become smaller. In early times manipulation can really happen but we are decentralized and with more circulation of bitcoin own by major number of people, I think we can make things right which will result the price to the real market scenario.

Maybe you have to invest in some altcoin and try to read its history first before investing. Some altcoin will be getting high in price someday!
I started using faucets on my first time here, it is really the good idea if you want to earn, but if you want more, better stop using faucet and learn other things to earn BTC like captcha solving and selling stuffs. Investing in some altcoins is really a good idea, though you cant really predict a good altcoin to sell.
All kind of work that are time consuming will never give you a chance to manage your time properly and your income is very limited under that kind of job. It's only good for beginners, captchas and faucets are all time consuming as I have tried that in the past, I'm thankful I earn but it's not what I'm looking cause I want more money to be earn.
7244  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: March 13, 2017, 01:38:45 PM
What is the obstacles, challenges and problems that Bitcoin can face it in 5 years? How we can help Bitcoin to take more authoritative place in the world of currency system?

My prediction in bitcoin though I'm not a psychic, its just only my view about in bitcoin, there is a chance that bitcoin can be 3000$ dollars before end of this year its not because others always said it but because of the demand happened in a daily basis of the community.

$3k peak in May falling from there, $1800 at the end of the year but still falling. Grin
It's not good to see if the price is falling regardless of the price, what we want to see is to witness a price with a rising trend, it does not matter to be fast and slowly is fine as long as it's consistent as that shows a strong market. By the end of this year, I would be fine with at least $1,300, it's a major success already breaking the all time high.
7245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: March 13, 2017, 01:22:35 PM
It is considered as drug because of the addiction that it can give to the gamblers but in reality it is really hard to depend on this activity. Because in the end, that will just into frustration. There might be people that are having good fate in gambling but most of us are sick to it that it is actually giving us an headache.

Gambling is not really the same as drug. You could die if you are addicted to drug and you need to keep on taking it otherwise it will have an effect on your body. It is different with gambling, you wont really die if you dont gamble and in fact you will live. It is people that make it looks like they cant stand without gambling
What he is referring too is Gambling is like a like a drug a really addicting one because it can make you feel on the hook when you are betting it gives you some sort of trance every time you win or just every time you bet. Its not about dying when you use of gambling but it is about the state you are in and if you will ever come out with that addiction.
I'm sure this is more expensive than drug addiction as you can lose millions in just a short span of time in gambling if you have that amount. The bigger the amount you have, the bigger you are risking, with gambling addiction you have no control over your money because you will gonna spend it just to finance your gambling addiction. It's very important for us to be careful in anything we do as if it's excessive it's not good anymore.
7246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: March 13, 2017, 08:00:07 AM
I will always choose the best thing that suites me and that will be investing. I will always love to risk my money in a nice way such as investing since it is also considered gambling but in a nice manner unlike gambling it can be gone very fast. But in investing, it will take time before seeing the result of your investment.

That is correct. If you want to earn money then investing is the best option but if one needs an enjoyment then should go to the gambling. You can't expect fun and money from gambling. But it can happen only if you're very lucky but not always. So you should choose what you want correctly and never go for easy and fast money because those are very risky to lose your hard earned money.
It's a privilege to gamble and we should all do that, but this kind of entertainment has a risk associated on it therefore we also need to be careful all the time. When money is the purpose, investing is the best option and which I think that only answer to get our wants, gambling could be positively give us what we want but that is not a good way to maintain what we are doing since many have tried and most of them failed.
7247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Investment Doubt on: March 13, 2017, 04:00:36 AM
For me, if I'm going to invest in a gambling site and you are a risk taker, I will invest in a minimum of 6 months to 1 year because that's the best time that you can see if you are really gaining profit out of your investment. I know that it is long however, if you are gonna invest it for a short amount of time you will not maximize your full potential of your investment because the profit of a casino is different some day the house won big but other times they are negative in profit. So 6-12 months for me. Just saying.

It might just be true. the reason gambling could also give us an advantage in it, but keep in mind that gambling also has dangerous side (it is very high). So if we are investing the wrong way then it is not an advantage that we get but a great loss for the investment to be done the right way and not out of line. Before investing in gambling, look at the track record of such gambling because it can give you a pretty good advantage
Nowadays, investing in online casinos is one of the trend already and because of that there are reliable people who makes review about a certain site and make an investment as their experiment. For me, it's already given that you can earn from investing but it needs careful study and to be safe invest only on trusted sites that are already existing for many years and no negative feedback from the gambling community.
7248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: March 13, 2017, 03:49:21 AM
online gambling can be quite difficult  since theres noone there to stop you, if you have casinos around you where you live, you have the option to sign yourself out to where you can never step foot inside that casino again.

It's true if you are a loner. But if you are living in the same  roof with your siblings and parents, I doubt it if your urge to gamble is uncontrollable. A simple way is letting other family members to hold the password in your router, block sites where you gamble and of course obey the rules. If you can't obey your own rules, any method that you will try will never be effective.
Exactly, you are just like fooling yourself when you say you will do certain things for you to quit but still do it in the end. That's normal because that is how we are when we do not have the discipline inside us, quitting is not an easy job but one who are infested with gambling should do it immediately.
Let's listen to our love ones as in times of trouble, they are the only ones who can help us in changing ourselves to become a better one.
7249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: March 12, 2017, 01:29:22 PM
In overall gambling is wrong in every aspects, But nothing is wrong when you gamble in right way. I mean when you are just gambling for fun and not take it as a source of income so nothing is wrong until you do gambling in wrong way. In overall gambling is wrong in every aspects.

Yes gambling is wrong because it cost you money and it can be addictive but when you gamble for fun and know your limitations. Thats in my opinion.
Well, your opinion is wrong, it's our decision that will determine our outcome. If we do it with limitation, we can always preserve the fun in gambling which is should be treated that way. The real and simple definition of gambling is entertainment and every entertainment that requires money to do it is expected that we have to spend, our loses is the money that is spent and that does not need to earn money as well as you have the entertainment you are looking.
7250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: March 12, 2017, 01:03:57 PM
Most of the time, gambling will result in you losing out, so just make sure to be careful and gamble responsibly.  Investing is varied, it all depends on what you invest in.  If you invest in something fairly reputable (e.g. casino bankrolls, related to gambling), then you'll probably get ROI but it'll take a long time and you shouldn't expect anything straight away.

You have a point there. Playing gambling won't be profitable, while in investment it depends on where you are putting your money in. But when it comes to risk, it is riskier to gamble than investing. The two differ in the way we start and end. Usually in gambling, you start in small, and win big, while in investment, you start small and receive smaller ROI.

But when it comes to this two, I'd definitely choose investment, atleast with that you know the risk that you are facing since you will not invest if you don't have an idea about it, while in gambling, the result is unpredictable and mostly losing.

To trade is the most trusted to become rich.  It is I want you to recommend.  That is why gamble and invest is part of scam nowadays. There is no determined that you get the money to become rich in gamble no players become rich about it.
That is not correct, investing and gambling are not scam, it only depend on your approach. True that there are scam investment but there are legit investments as well, you will only fall victim of scams if you will fall on the trap of high returns investment or commonly known as HYIP.
7251  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: In what to invest $2k? on: March 12, 2017, 04:43:22 AM
Hi,
Not sure if it is for this toipc, please move it if needed. As the title says, I want to put $2k in something new, not buying coins, I have them in btc. What can be the best ROI and most secure way?
What you will do if you have additional 2k?
Thanks
You are looking for a secure way, well I can recommend not to trade it. Investing in online casino is IMO the most secure way of growing your money.
By looking at a secure investment, that means the growth is not fast but consistent and based on my experience I can only get that with casino's investing. Check this thread out, he has a good return so far.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1585408.0
7252  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive Income on: March 12, 2017, 04:24:51 AM
For me, my passive income is by doing my tasks to complete here in signature campaign. This is I think of as of now, since by joining here in any campaign will surely give an earning weekly or depends on the rules. Also, by buying and selling bitcoin were I also earn bitcoin.
That is not really passive income at all, passive income means you don’t need to do a thing to obtain your profits, if you need to take some active action to make money then it is not passive.
That's correct, I guess we should understand what is the difference between the two to make a good contribution on with our opinion. Most of us are doing active income because we are working regularly to receive a regular income to survive but there are smart people who are rich now, they are making their money work for them.
7253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: March 12, 2017, 04:13:23 AM
For me to have profit obviously, For every gambler the reason is to have profit that is the goal, But the fun and excitement in gambling is given when you're going to play in gambling site. So for me both but my goal is to have profit.
Everyone needs profit along with fun. If people experience only the fun factor then gambling websites won't operate much as now. Fun is the one that makes the attraction towards the gambling, but the profiting keeps the users active and use bitcoin for a long time period.
But why are we still gambling despite of the loses, maybe it's because we have different purpose in gambling although it cannot be denied that majority of gamblers are looking for profit. Let's be practical, we know our chances therefore it's better to enjoy gambling than seeking for profit which will probably gonna make you lose more money.
7254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 12, 2017, 04:04:03 AM
San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors has become a game of bench players. McCaw, Livingston, Barnes, Looney, Pachulia  starting for the Warriors and Mills, Green, Dedmon, Lee, Anderson starting for the Spurs as Spurs are playing at home and have more starters and better style of play, I think Spurs should easily win this one.
They aren't doing that bad. Thought it would of been worst for the Warriors but they are almost at 70 points at the end of the third quarter. They just might make it to 100 with their bench warmers. The only one I recognize was McGee but that was from his twitter feud with Shaq last week. Hahah!
But the Spurs are just destorying them because they don't rely just on their starting line up with those 3 big starters for their team in Parker, Aldrige and Kawhi.
This is not an exciting game because people are expecting for the warriors to take their revenge. Sadly, they decided to rest the starters of warriors and with this I guess it sooner or later it will be the Spurs who will take the number 1 seed in the east. With durant the warriors is not exciting to watch anymore but they cannot make an excuses since injury happens to any player.
7255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 11, 2017, 12:09:37 PM
I was surprised that Denver beat up on Celtics last night.
That's why I prefer to bet on over on points but they were only two I would of bet on and when I do pick I usually only pick 3 games so i would lost that ticket on parlays anyways.  Roll Eyes
Yeah, me too, in fact I lose my bet on them. Denver are really fighting for there chance in the playoffs and we should give that credits to them.
Right now they are still in the number 8 seed and next game will be against the Sacramento Kings which I think an easy one.
As long as Jukic is their, you can expect they will fight to win, they are a much improve team this season based on my observation.
7256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: March 10, 2017, 05:41:14 AM
Actually i never saw a man, who has rich from Gambling?
I m not playing gambling because i saw a lot of people who has lost everything in gambling.
So i want to ask if anyone is here how has rich from GAMBLING ??
anybody in the gambling world are desiring that things to be happen to them. But not most of them are destined to become rich in gambling that's the saddest thing and the truth which we need to accept the fact. and I know most of the player are not actually rich majority of them are in moderate level, some are just pretending they are elite family but only a false statement or boasting to their co-gambler.
Well for me, I have already accepted my destiny, I will not dig any further to reach my long time dream to become rich in gambling as I have been disappointed many times in my life. Maybe my destiny is on the other venture and I'm hoping that it's still related to bitcoin as I have spend most of time with bitcoin only.
7257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: March 10, 2017, 05:30:41 AM
Yes it is makes sense because it will earn your money maybe it is small but it is worth it. Investments makes you feel happy if you win in the investment what I mean is does not scam by literary money. At the end of the day. It will become big if you win triple double in the investment site during hype days which is does scam and continue paying.
Investment that will make you happy are those kind of investment that will satisfy you, small amount of invest will only generate small income and I believe it will not satisfy us. I had try that when I was newbie in investing, I put a little amount in a gambling site thinking it will give me a good profit, but I got bored because the profit is not what I expected and eventually use it in gambling and lose it.
7258  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: March 10, 2017, 03:56:59 AM
How can you say that big crash is coming ,dont you read news on cryptocurrency? They already predicted that bitcoin will first reached the 2000$ before going down.
And what news are that? The bitcoin bull news? Bitcoin has great potential but to reach that price there is a long road ahead of us, be happy with the price as it is since it is already large enough that no matter at what price you bought you can make a profit.
Correct because I would rather want to see a price increase slowly than there is an abrupt increase which is very scary for us. The recent drop is very alarming but good thing it's back up now, I think we will be stable at $1,200 and will continue to increase slowly overtime.
7259  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: March 10, 2017, 03:28:42 AM
I believe in Fiat because it will always be protected by the government. Fiat is a way of controlling people, so it will never disappear

Yeah right, we have to admit that using bitcoin is still limited and has not been widely used for direct transactions. I hope many places approved bitcoin, so that it can reduce the fiat money.
I believe that will not happen easily, bitcoin is not at its peak now despite breaking the all time high, we need more time to see a massive increase of adoption but that increase is not a big threat to replace the fiat system. Bitcoin will always be a substitute money or commonly known as payment system for online transactions.
7260  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive Income on: March 10, 2017, 03:02:05 AM
there are many ways to earn bitcoin but I never saw any passive income for bitcoin with safely without scam, I think bitcoin investment is not passive income because it is not every day we get a profit because sometimes one day you can get loss
It's definitely an active income because there is no guarantee for the holders that the value will continue to rise in the future, the market has ups and downs and for you to be able to benefit from it, you need to trade with timing. Passive income do happen in real life business like if you are having a franchise business then you will receive some kind of royalty fees.
