The Sacramento Kings are having a pretty good year so far building on what they were able to accomplish last year. Now they’re saying that they are going to get aggressive at the trading deadline but I’m not sure who is available that that could target. Maybe DeMar DeRozan but I’m not sure how well he would fit into their offense.
Obviously, they really need to update their rosters if they don't want to repeat the same mistakes all over again. they really wasted their chance last season to get to the Finals and now they need to make some new changes and prioritize their defense so that they can come up with a strong and competitive team when they get a chance to play in the NBA playoffs again this season. I think it's nice to have some new star players because that's exactly what they were lacking last season, they don't have enough support and role players. They have a good chance to make it to the playoffs again though. So I guess that is not a concern for them, but they really need the experience more than anything else, they have a good defense if I'm not mistaken. But due to the lack of experience, the Warriors where able to bet them on their own game. But the Sacramento Kings is very different now, and I don't see DeRozan being a good fit if you are talking about defense. They have Monk who also improved a lot specially when he was still with the Lakers. But coming in and join the Kings last year, he was really a big help to the team. |

It is strange that although I knew there was a Miss Universe competition ongoing as at yesterday, it never occurred to that the bookies will have it listed on their website. I don't think most gamblers in this community placed any bets on the just concluded event. You know we are mostly all about football, casinos, Boxing, other events are not as popular. Well, gotta keep my eyes on bookies that will give odds for the Mr Olympia and Strong Man competitions in 2024. It would be my first time so I will have to start from now to do my homework.
There are still a lot of gamblers that are interested in these events that are held annually. You can say that this might not be as popular as traditional sports but they still get a significant viewership, and a lot of people may want to be in the action, too. There have been some local betting events near my place that also went with the Miss Universe pageant yesterday and they managed to amass a lot of bettors in such a short span of time. Most bet on Ms. Philippines, though we know the outcome, and they were not happy with the candidate not even belonging to the top 5 finalists. I've seen some social media posts that Ms. Philippines is supposedly in the top 5, but suddenly her name disappeared and then enter the name of the host country? So there has been another controversial that involved Ms. Philippines. Maybe because the country has been dominating this pageant for the last 5-6 years? In any case, I will agree though that there are also some gamblers who bet on this kind of beauty pageant. It's not the traditional betting that we have seen, but it's obvious that whether fiat or crypto based every year this kind of betting is open because it also has a huge followers from gamblers, maybe non gamblers but they simply bet on this specific pageant. |

I think, $31,000 is possible for investors to see because the market is still displaying green candle to keep investors hope alive by continue holding their Bitcoins for that particular price of their choice to come to pass when the price hit higher. Based on what am observing from the chat, show that bearish season is about to disappear from the market for bullish season to roll in for those that invested in a low price to begin to get ready to supply when the price increase higher again. Since we have experienced $30,000 in this year 2023, I believe something good will definitely happen before the end of December that will make investors to accept that next year will be a massive bullish for both long term investors and short term investors.
When this posts was posted it's over three months now and bitcoin price is accelerating, before now the price of bitcoin was approaching to twenty eight thousand before it collapse and fall to twenty seven thousand to twenty six thousand in which I believe that the price of bitcoin is increasing to extent of reaching twenty seven thousand today, so as of October 2023 may people who was predicting that price of bitcoin is increasing above expectations, it basically base on the demands. Right, and that is the beauty of bitcoin, we can go back to those early predictions and compare it with the current price, and so far we have a huge run again and as per coinmarketcap, 1.x% in the last 24 hours, price is 37,600 as compare to 3 months ago wherein we have a hard time to crossed $28k and it was the biggest barrier. Definitely, there will be demand short term, due to the fact that we are just several months for the block halving, which is the catalyst for the next bull run and eventual all time high again. So investors are going to flock till December and be ready and prepare to this very exciting event next year. And personally, I'm seeing the price maybe around $41k-$43k at the end of the year. |

And speaking of Boots Ennis. He was actually offered by Crawford prior to the Spence fight. Ennis was so scared of the boogeyman that his team decided to make lame excuses and refused Crawford's offer. And their garbage excuse? According to them, Al Hymen treated them well so they wanted PBC to handle their fights, rejecting the chance to fight for a belt which would be promoted by Crawford's partners at that time. There's a video on this where Boots' dad was the one defending their lame excuse not to fight Crawford. Besides, Hymen did not really treat them well since they waited forever to enforce its mandate on Spence and it never came until the belt was taken by Crawford.
Spence activated the rematch clause on Crawford. This means Crawford will fight Spence next and not after fighting someone. Anyways, at Crawford's age, he's got no more business at 147. He should spend his limited remaining pro days fighting legacy fights like trying to get a belt at 154 to make him a 4-division champion or even become the first ever 3-division undisputed in the modern era.
Cameron Dunkin, who is Ennis's promoter, was once Crawfords manager. Crawford fired him and he has let his personal feelings get in the way of some opportunities for his fighter Ennis. Haymon has treated Cameron's fighters as second class citizens. Being so loyal to PBC has backfired because now they have no network to fight on and no leverage to negotiate with Crawford or any other top welterweight. Ennis is supposed to be the one who carries the torch when Crawford and Spence retire but the poor handling of his career is holding him back from realizing his potential. Oh yeah, I remember that him and Top Rank co promoted Crawford way back when Terrence was starting his career and we can say that they did a good job, made him undisputed at 140 lbs. But Crawford wanted more and so he bolted out with Top Rank, never really hire someone to manage his career. But as far as Ennis fighting Crawford, he will have to wait because we all know that Spence has activated the rematch clause, could be 154 lbs fighting weight. Yeah, it could be that Ennis will be carrying the torch, but there could still be a lot of fighters at 147 lbs not name Spence and Crawford. Maybe Ortiz if he can still make it at 147 lbs? Or Eimantas Stanionis the regular WBA World champion. |

Clarkson isn't shooting well tonight; he hasn't scored any points from beyond the three-point line. However, the Suns vs. Jazz game is still interesting because it's going into overtime. If the Jazz win, Markkanen could be the hero. These two teams have played two games, and it has always been satisfying for the fans. Hopefully, Utah would even their series.
And... there's the double OT, Sexton got the follow up shot.. Entertain yourself so much in this game because the Jazz aren't going anywhere. They are playing like a good team against Durant and Booker, let's see what would happen in the next 5 minutes. It has been so entertaining so far.  Yeah, it went to double OT, but the Suns were still in control of the game as the Jazz couldn't stop Durant. Although Clarkson improved his shooting in the second half, it wasn't enough as they fell short against the Suns, with Durant scoring 39 points. The Jazz are now 0-2 on, but they fought well in their last two games. Congratulations to them for having a competitive team against a playoff team like the Suns. They are already a very competitive team since the last season, and they vastly improved again this year, but it seems that they still lack the final push in every game. Clarkson has improved a lot but it was not enough though. And yeah, it was a very fun game to watch, double OT and the game is out now in the social media. And if you bet on the Over for sure you will have hit the game already because the score was high with that double OT. Lebron again, never ceases to amazed us. He is very competitive and when he faces with the likes of Brooks, it bring the best out of him. |

The odds don't look bad at all. Francis Ngannou seems to have tarnished the image of Tyson Fury quite a bit so the odds have been heavily affected. It is not my place to belittle Tyson Fury, but if Ngannou is knocking him down as a cage fighter and there are rumors that he lost, which in my opinion, I can say that Ngannou won this match or at worst it should have ended in a draw. It will be very difficult for Tyson Fury against Oleksandr Usyk because his mobility is not even found in many light heavyweight boxers, he is very fast for his weight and with this speed he can control Tyson Fury. Right, doesn't look bad at all, obviously, the odds might have swing a bit to Usyk because of Fury's performance against Ngannou. Maybe we can call that Tyson might have been exposed on that fight. However, we can't compare Usyk's style to Ngannou. And also the Ngannou is almost as tall as Fury and he has the power, so that negates Fury's physical advantage. But against Usyk, obviously his imposing physically is going to be notice, height and weight and length advantage will be on Fury again. And we all know that he looks very good if he has the advantage against his opponent. It might be that the fight is unpredictable, as there is also this mind games that both of them are playing. But if we just look at the two, the advantage is on Fury that's why he is the favorite, not that big gap at 1.5, but still it will boost his confidence to see that he is the favorite in this fight. |

Hi BT what is the best thing that have ever happen to you because of BTC that never would have happen if BTC never was invented? I was quite late in the crypto world and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier and the best thing is that thanks to bitcoin I get an small income every month from trading and I have also find new friends that I probably never would meet if it wasn't for BTC. And I have for the first time in my life be able to save some money for a later period in my life everything is crypto. So conclusion everything is better thanks to crypto, at least for me.  Thank you Satoshi! 🙏 I think majority will agree that we learn to be save because one tenet of bitcoin, if you really wanted to make a huge profit, is to accumulate and hold for a long time. It's more of a mental battle here, but if you understand it then it will be easy on your part for a weekly or monthly grind and doing DCA. I'm not sure about trading though, I'm not into it because it might take sometime on my end. I have other jobs to do so I just invest whatever I can and again, it's a slow process but it's reward in the end. Just like in what we are right now, bitcoin has recovered from the lowest low last year, yet we are all looking for the block halving next year. So we still have a lot of time to accumulate and then wait for it to happen as it is a catalyst for next bull run and new all time high. |

spence will face second defeat if he goes for Crawford for the 2nd time. he obviously is no match to bud. he should just wait til Crawford gets a bit older, this is the new strategy of this boxing era anyway. lol
I think that fight will be at 154 lbs, they said that he is weight drain at 147 lbs. Not yet final, but I have a feeling that the rematch will be at 154 lbs and it might be close unlike the first fight. But nevertheless, if might be the same outcome, Crawford goes to win and defeat Spence twice in a row. Most likely like the case of Joshua losing twice against Usyk. Ryan did face a top contender, it must have been out of boredom so he ask for Davis. he got what he asked for, good that he didn't overthink of that loss and move on with Duarte. Shakir vs Ryan is possible. think Ryan has a chance.
I think it's not about boredom, it's obvious that he wanted to have a money fight, a big fight that will earn him millions and that's why he given up a lot like rehydration clause, size of the ring, maybe the gloves to wear. But he is no match to the power of Tank Davis. I don't think that Ryan will go down to 135 lbs. He is too big for that weight class already. |

^^^^so to make up for decreasing buys, promoters raise the price for viewers which further limits their audience.
That might not be a good strategy in my opinion. Perhaps their target audience is very limited, considering they're raising the price of PPV subscriptions. Wouldn't it be better if they had more subscribers at a lower price? I mean, volume or pricing can make a fight more profitable. This way, others who can't afford the PPV price won't resort to looking for illegal streams. If that becomes rampant, it could affect the future of PPV subscriptions. It's bad, and with what the current world economy is doing, everyone is really trying to save their money and this could be one reasons why there are a lot of fights that are not really making money in terms of PPV. And if they increase the price then most likely boxing fans will have to retort to other methods of watching the fight, it could be some streams somewhere or even in some platform like Facebook wherein there are individuals too streaming high profile fights. But I do agree that this could be one reason that after many years, Sho suddenly shuts down their business because they are not making money anymore. So I doubt that the PPV that Manny and Floyd did before can be broken. I'm not sure if it's because of the cost or if people just aren't as keen on shelling out for PPV these days. There's this other avenue where folks can catch the fight online for free....you know, those illegal streams that are all the rage now. If someone can get a link, they get to enjoy the fight without dropping a dime. Bumping up the PPV price might be the promoters' solution. Even with the increase, the folks who are really eager to watch would still be willing to spend over the cash. I mean, these are the folks who aren't really feeling the grasp of the economic struggle. There are fans who even went to watch the fight live, and buying tickets in the thousands, and willing to spend that kind of money. So maybe there are still fans that can buy PPV, but obviously the numbers are going down since we went back to norm. We can't take into account that it's expensive for the majority of boxing fans, $70-$80 and up? that is exorbitant for a fight in my opinion. Unless it's really a great fight and there are hype around it. But in this fight, there's none, both as we have observed, are respecting each other, so it didn't add up to the hype that most boxing fans are looking. At least a good storyline to begin with. So it's really hard to see how much this fight is going to made in terms of PPV numbers and it could be way below expectations. Plus as you have said, there are a lot of illegal streamers right now that are taking a cut on the profits. |

My account with Bitmart amounting USDT 74k was frozen due to suspicion of money laundering.
I was trying to withdraw $4k and the withdrawal was rejected. Then I received
an email from customer support that my account was suspected for money
laundering.
I was given 72 hrs. to deposit a 100% equivalent of my assets ($74K) to verify my account
which is obviously a scam. Instead of asking me to provide proof of source of income, they
want me to add more money.
Damn, that's the classic scam trick, in any case this is very similar to, [SCAM REPORT] Bitmart.com SCAM, stolen over $100k.In any case, not bursting the bubble to the OP, but I doubt that you can get back your money from this scam site or if you fall for a phishing sites. And as per trustpilot, https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.bitmart.com, they don't have a good review. Just interesting though if you can show us the screenshot of the website so that we can warm others as well. |

Hey there, could you help me out with this question? So, when we send Bitcoin from one wallet, like an Electrum wallet, to another Bitcoin address, there's this transaction fee, right? Currently, it's pretty high, and the miners are the ones benefiting from it, got that part.
Yes, it's the miners who are going to profit from it directly. Now, in another scenario, let's say I purchased some bitcoins from a centralized exchange like Binance, and I need to send them to a cold wallet address. Again, there's a transaction fee. But who's raking in this fee: the miners or the CEX platform?
CEX platform will still pay the miners to find the block for your withdrawal, and then it will be pass to you, not sure how much the CEX is making money, but there could be percentage. And that's why you don't have total control of the fees because they are the one setting it so that they can make a profit. And obviously, that's why in this kind of situation that the fees are very high, CEX could be putting like +10% or more on fees on you. |

^^ The Los Angeles Clippers won, all because of Westbrook giving up the starting role. But if James Harden were absent, this would have been a more dominating win just like before. Ty Lue's offensive game plan was to play Paul George for a lot of minutes, let him force a lot of shots—dribble, dribble, and shoot. 40 mins for PG 13 vs Rockets. That's messing up the gameplays.
Respect and salute to Westbrook 🫡, who requested to be on the bench.
Finally. I am not really focused on the game but it was playing live on my streaming service while I was doing something else. I had a glimpse of Steve Ballmer standing up and there I knew that the Clippers were winning. I checked the scorebox and it was 104-100 with seconds remaining I said to myself, finally the drought is over. Harden also had a good standing ovation. Man, I've seen the signature move of him again, I've been waiting to witness that one more time. Yes, Steve Ballmer was focused during that intense game, and we all know as owner I would say he is one of the most animated as he likes to watch the game live and standing up and cheering for his team. Drought is over courtesy of that signature move of Harden, a three plus a foul. But so many things must be fixed. They must watch the tape again because their first half is really bad. Turnovers were pouring like crazy.
This is a good win for them though that might increase their confidence. Houston Rockets is a team that has been winning games, defeating them is something that ain't easy to do. WB might have also agreed that it should be Harden who would be taking over in the 4th quarter.
The final minutes were damn crazy.
And I think maybe we will all agree that it's was just a lucky break for them, Rockets has 2 error in the last minutes and then Sengun missing one free throw. But a win is a win and we should give credit to James Harden for now, as he deliver the first win to the Clippers when he join the club. |

Op if you want to promote your product then you need to make an detailed ANN thread like thesejust posting a link here and telling people to download a app will not going to work, No one will trust you and your product.
I think someone has built an app and paid OP to promote it anywhere because it is new and want some downloads to grow. This blackjack is not a new casino platform in this forum, because I know quite well that this forum have once welcomed blackjack and even when they launched their campaign, their is one particular place I read this and I confirmed their signature campaign, so think they already have a reputation except that the person posting this is not from the right source of blackjack, but in norms I think that in way of trust people who knows the platform before now will tell you that this platform is a good one, I have not used the platform before and what I wanted to know is that op should direct us on what to do. If you are talking about the platform yeah, we have https://blackjack.fun/. But I think the OP is talking about the game in general, that's why he had to make this app for us to try specially if we are not aware that there are sidebets in this game. But as what others have been saying, it's the reputation of the OP that give us some problem. We are not familiar with him and so we wont' simply download anything that has not gotten any reputation yet from this community. It's better for us to be safe in the beginning and not fall for a trick that we might regret later. |

Why does the cryptocurrency world focus so much on highly capitalized projects, to the detriment of more promising and lesser-known ones?
I guess they are already established in the first place and so people doesn't want to break anything, not that it's been broken. So altcoins in the top 10 could be a good investment for them. Perhaps one reason is inertia - to stay with recognized, established projects instead of taking risks with young ideas. However, even with a low profile, projects like Cogitex, for example, can provide openness and transparency in their every action, which is often not enough in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Cogitex represents an innovative approach to artificial intelligence and space exploration, promising to break new ground. The question is how much the community is willing to pay attention to such projects, despite their current status.
Don't get me wrong here, it's obvious that you are shilling for this project, it might affect them negatively and backfire as investors might see this kind of shilling very negative to be honest. If the project is what you say it is, then investors are going to flock and invest their money. But if this is just a way to shill and then they found out that this project has nothing to offer, no innovative approach, then they won't even put a sat on it, just saying. What is more important to you in the world of cryptocurrencies - their prominence or their potential to make a real impact on the industry?
Doesn't matter though, again if you think that your project can make an impact because it is unique then it will be known to crypto industry. But if it is just like a copy cat of previous project, definitely we will go with the original one, just saying. It has to be unique like Bitcoin or Ethereum or any other projects in the altcoin crypto sphere. |

When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously. It is understandable when we see fewer women than men in sectors that require physical energy to carry out work activity like the military or in the engineering sector but when you still see this same work force difference in the tech and Bitcoin space that they can comfortably do at the comfort of there home, it gets me curious to know the reason that might have been responsible for this huge gap.
I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?
It's because women are risk averse, which means that they decline to take risk unlike men. Maybe because they just wanted their men to do everything for them just like what you said, stay at home moms. Or it could be how they are build as compare to men, with all of our testosterone in our body, we think that we can go and take that huge risk and win the end, just like in gambling. And if you say 10% or at least that numbers, it huge already and who knows, as the world is changing an going into a lot of phase about gender and everything what's inside of it, maybe we can see more women trying to removed that stigma, join bitcoin or at least involved themselves in crypto market and they might find enjoyment here. I think though there are women already like a CEO of companies related to crypto if I'm not mistaken. |

Good news for Shakur fans out there, we have a new champion! Shakur Stevenson becomes earns WBC lightweight title in decision win over Edwin De Los Santos
Shakur Stevenson is now a three-division champion. Stevenson, the former Olympic silver medalist, grinded out a tough win over Edwin De Los Santos on Thursday night to claim the WBC lightweight crown in Las Vegas.
How do you rate the fight? Are you entertain or got bored? How about the betting side, anyone here won their bet? I did not watch the fight but there are social media posts regarding to how his opponent's deal with his loss, something that mentioned about his there to fight but Shakur's way is to track him to get the point and just make sure to win it, I mean, my interpretation with what De los Santos wanted to implied is Shakur just secure the by win points and not the way a warrior fought. Though there's nothing that De Los Santos can do now, if ever they will meet again he needed to adjust with the strategy Shakur used against him if he wanted to win. Yeah, it was a slow paced as described my some boxing media. As if it was like that Shakur Stevenson didn't wanted to get engage in the fight and just simply wanted to win in the scorecard and it's bad for his image with this kind of performance. He has been talking about fighting the likes of Haney or Loma, but with this showing, Haney is now on the firing end as he said that he should offer Shakur 10% based on his performance (if was reported that the Haney's offered 25% for the purse split and Stevenson turn it down). So let's see who's next for Stevenson as he got the belt. He will have to defend it next year. |

For the Lotto, nah, wasn't even close to getting at least 5 out of 6 numbers. The best that I can do when I'm playing lotto back then was like only 3 or 4 numbers. But that's it. But I haven't try online lotto though, might be different outcome but who knows.
And that's why the odds of hitting that jackpot is really huge, everything should be align, including your lucky star that night to be able to get it.
Best of luck in advance for those who are going to play. Maybe one of this day, I will also try to play on that platform and see how it goes.

Right now, $35,000 is acting as short-term support because, within the past week, we've seen Bitcoin going sideways at the range of $35,000 - $38,000.
It's that we have dump in the last 24 hours, and as I checked it the reason is that the SEC says that they are going to delay a review on spot Bitcoin ETF. I will stick to my previous prediction that Bitcoin might reach as high as $40,000 by the end of the year. One bullish news can do the job, and I really hate to say this, but I think it will be an ETF-related news again. I don't know what, but it might be related to ETFs again. As for the ETF, the SEC can have its final decision until next year, so I also expect to see a major price movement in the first months of the year. In which direction? Depending on the decision of the SEC.
I think majority here will stick with that kind of prediction, so same here I seeing that the price will go on $40k at least at the end of the month, with or without the SEC news about the ETF approval. I think investors are wise enough to know that the approval might come in mid next year. And so we need not to anticipated it but what we should do is to prepare for the imminent bull run and so we need to accumulate as much as we can before the block halving. And so if ever the news come up and then the prices goes up, we will be in the profits already. But wait, the biggest is yet to come, so do not sell and just continue to hold and see how far this bull run will be. |

I know I'm not a disciplined gambler and if I had too much money deposited in my casino account I'd overextend my games, which is why I never hold money on casino accounts. This is one of the rules I never break. When I want to play, I deposit a certain (small) amount of money and bet that until I either win enough to quit (double?), or bet on sports which makes all the bankroll disappear instantly, or I lose everything. If I lose it all I never add to the balance, just quit for some time.
I think you are not the only one with that problem mate, if I also have some money in a online platform, I can't really resist not playing with that crypto, and sometimes I made the right decision to play and then withdraw, but majority, when I don't have any luck, I will lose everything. So it's not very easy to be discipline in managing our bankroll. It will take a lot of mental toughness to think that you shouldn't be depositing anymore to chase loses, or not playing the money all together as you can used it to other things that is more important and not just lay waste on it with playing. |

Also Celtics kinda showed us that 76ers are not what they look like and as soon as they block Embiid , there is nowhere left to actually carry the game for them and now I do think that maybe they made a mistake letting Harden go ? could be.
Nah, they are good without Harden, Maxey is taking Harden's place now, it's that the Boston Celtics has the best duo in the NBA right now, Tatum and Brown, and they are very consistent this season. For the Lakers, it's a up and down game against the Kings. The biggest issue with the team right now is that they simply allow their opponents to take a big lead and they have a hard time trying to catch up. Another team that is also inconsistent and I doubt that they are a championship caliber in the West right now. Kings kryptonite is the Warriors, but if the Warriors can't get their act together maybe if they play the Kings in the playoff, it will be a different story. |
