821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: August 09, 2023, 05:33:19 AM
My take about this proposed fight is that it's still not that sure that both tech billionaires will indeed face each other in a fight, it doesn't matter if it will be in the ring or in the cage. Mainly now that Elon Musk is approaching an MRI and might get a surgery afterwards.

They can brag and say some things that might be believable to the people but as long as there will be no schedule, it will not mean anything.

Amidst the controversial, here's what happened to Elon Musk recently: Khabib Nurmagomedov turns down Elon Musk's request to help him prepare for Mark Zuckerberg.

Checking in for the season I could say that Lakers are not as bad as people think they are, they are just injured a lot. Now I know that's not the story of the season so far, but they are my wildcard for the ring and let me explain why.

They have Reaves that is getting better every season, Russel that is looking to take the PG spot and be good, Rui that is a great bench guy who defends very well, Vanderbilt as a great defensive guy as well, Lebron and AD is still there and being an all-star level amazing people, those names alone looks like they are actually pretty good team. I know that it sounds like they are not going to be all that great to some people, but I feel like they could actually be pretty good team for sure.

Right, that is why they are being named as a dark horse by some people and fans because even if the Los Angeles Lakers are not that actually strong mainly in the regular season but you can count on them to have a good run and adjustment during the playoffs run. Just like what they did recently, that revamped they got truly helped the whole roster.

Even Steve Kerr himself is praising Austin Reaves because he can see the improvement of the kid throughout the years and his potential that he will be an asset to the team. He might be one of those stars but he can do something on his own and the fact that he can learn fast means that he truly got a potential.

I can sense this is just a fabrication, sorry for that. But let’s say it really happened, then it’s a good thing that you’re the friend he ran into. But I’m just confused if he never heard bitcoin before, because it seems that he has no idea about bitcoin. Anyway, just tell him to keep his bitcoin. For now, it’s a good thing if he will study first about bitcoin before he decides on what to do about it. All the information are laid on the internet, he just need to do his intensive research.

Mistake is inevitable, if there is no mistake there is no correction, that is, people make mistake and through the mistake, corrections are made. Most users submit their post without cross checking the write up. So in many times omissions occurred and some ungrammatical statement occurred and English speaking users see them as trash, shit post without correction. It is better you reread you work before posting to avoid mistake. Be a good poster. Avoid mistake. But mistake is inevitable. It most come but not always.

I think there is also an app that will check for the spelling and grammar. However, the thoughts itself can't be check so it's very important if you are a non-English speaker to really check everything first.

And even if you have push the Post button, and then you find something wrong, you can easily edit it again, just saying.
Yes. Install Grammarly Keyboard and it will be a great help in checking your spelling and grammar when posting in the forum. But I also believe that you should study and improve your vocabulary too because once you’re good at it, it’s seldom to see spelling and grammar errors when you’re posting.

Nevertheless, we can always edit our first post if we see some errors on it. No one’s perfect, but at least we also try our best not to come out imperfect.

Emotions are the best enemies when trading. When you have uncontrolled emotions, your trades will be ruined and will definitely end up failing and losing your future profits. That is why never trade with high emotions involved, as it can never help you in making your trade’s successful.

Patience on the other hand is very crucial in trading. If you trade impatiently, you will never hit your target but will only make you resort into wrong decision making. So for me, both can affect the future of your trades so they should be properly managed when you decide to trade.
826  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: August 06, 2023, 05:52:59 PM
I don't really have much to say as regards to this post. It is just an avenue to hear your thoughts on which is better to invest both time, energy and resources in, mostly for a season as this, where we are experiencing economic uncertainty and ill-timed government banking policies.

So, given that the resources are available or not and you are presented with the opportunity to start/grow or buy an existing business just like Elon Musk, which option is more preferential and benefitial to you?

Not too many persons will want to start a business from scratch particularly when they have the financial resources and am one of those in that line of this school of thought. With the available finance I consider buying of franchise  cut off those hassles and challenges peculiar to newly established businesses. With a franchise of an already established company with popular market saturation uncertainties about the future of the business are not a thing of worry

True. If there’s sufficient amount of money, then why waste your time building new business when there’s no guarantee if it will work or not in the long run. I would rather prefer buying a franchise of a known and established business company, at least even if it’s costly, I know the future profits are all worth the risk. However, I also believe that each of us has different mindset when it comes to business. Some would always prefer to start their own new business because they want their own names to be established as the leading companies among competitors, and not just co-owners on the side.

That’s never a problem on my part. Helping is actually a very humane act that proves we are family. But instead of giving them money and giving them something to eat, I might resort on giving them a job or any source of living that will help them survive through the years. And maybe once they are already making a good living, I will introduce bitcoin to them. For me, that’s already a big help. They can chose to take advantage on it, or disregard it, but they should weight things first before making their decision.

Which is better to invest in copy trading or bot

And is there any other alternatives

I have 4k btc to invest
Actually none since both of them are unreliable. You can be lucky and be profitable but it will only take short time and lose all your funds like a thin air. So I cannot suggest using them both in trading. Instead, do your best to learn trading on your own. Learn all the basics in trading and trade if you have the resources to trade. Your experience will always be your best teacher, regardless of how often your fail or lose in your initial trades. In the end, what you’ll see is a great and successful trader, not a trader who’s dependent on others to make them profits.
830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Borrow to Buy Bitcoin is Not Advisable.Consider the Factors Before Doing That. on: August 05, 2023, 02:53:12 PM
Borrowing is not actually bad if you can benefit from it in times of emergency, but know that investing is not an urgent condition that needs immediate action. There should be a plan prior to investing, and that includes where to get your funds to invest. So if your plan is to borrow for your capital, that is a very wrong move towards your investment’s success. Before you will receive your profits, you are already pressured to pay the interest so it must be very annoying on the part of the investor. So my advice is to always save before investing. And start investing with a small amount since there’s still no guarantee if your investment will immediately work or you may encounter some losses at first before seeing significant profits.

832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 03, 2023, 08:19:20 PM
Lakers is considered to be a dark horse as well, if I'm not mistaken, of course some of the core is back but still, a ageing Lebron and then injury prone AD? Still not sure how far the Lakers can go in this season.


No matter what happens to them in the Lakers this season, they have already done their job and won the championship because that's just all that it matters when you are with the Superteam trying to be a contender in the NBA league. It will be more amazing when they can get back to the NBA playoffs this season because they easily made a great run last season and also beat the defending champion easily. The worse thing they did was signed Westbrook despite having multiple stars that can help them with the championship again last season.

But some fans are saying that what they did was not enough because the last time they won the championship was in the middle of Covid pandemic where they had in-house games with a lot of rules to prevent Covid-19 from entering the league, moreover, at that time, NBA was still at an experimenting phase and not all players did play just like the usual season. Anyway, people have been divided when it comes to the topic, but yes, a win is a win and nobody can take that from them.

There is still in doubts about what the Lakers achieved, but a title is still a title and even it's a pandemic setup, the players are still
playing at the best that they can.

Though it's still better to see Lakers with LeBron to win another title, and with how they are forming the team right now.

There's always chances for anything and who knows AD will play healthy this coming season, still early to conclude if what
will be the fate if they will perform and have that chance to win a title.

Talking about Anthony Davis, did you guys saw his recent transformation this summer?
In a video that I saw earlier this day in Facebook, AD was looking thin and thankfully they explained why afterwards about his current form because it was said and confirmed by Rob Pelinka himself that AD will go back to his original role (PF) while Jaxson Hayes will be the Lakers new center. It seems to me that the Lakers are now going back to their old formation specifically the 19-20 season where they got a chip.

It's quite interesting enough because we know that AD is much more dominant and more agile being a power forward but Jaxson Hayes as a replacement in the center? The kid clearly lacks the experience to protect the rim and I don't know if that will be the right move. So far, Rob Pelinka was getting his picks right recently and so does his choices for the team, so I'm inclined to see what will the Lakers do in the upcoming season with their new additional, Hayes.
833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 03, 2023, 07:38:01 PM
Maybe by sharing predictions and at the end we win, we can celebrate together because it will be fun to get together and party because we have won. But yeah, that will depend on each one because if we share with close friends who have won bets together, it will feel even more beautiful. And maybe we will predict other bets to find one more prediction that we can place as a bet and hope we can win with them again.
not as easy as you might imagine. something related to money, especially if you have to bet combining money with your friends, maybe we imagine sharing predictions is beautiful, but in reality, when the predictions you share lose, maybe your friends will get angry and your friendship is destroyed. you can see from the other threads of this case as this kind of problem has happened a long time ago and it's better for me to close the prediction for myself after experiencing my past experience.

When situation like this where they insist to bet base on your prediction then make them understand that it will never be a 100% accurate so that they can accept the result when unexpected result came. Blaming will be the result if they don't understand the situation and they are just always go for the win then count already their profit while result still not showing up yet. Best be realistic to them and for sure they will never get angry to you and bet again because they see how fair you are as a bettor.

In line with that, I find it amusing when some people tend to believe that my bet got more chances compared to them, it's not that I'm an expert to such games but they wanted to bet on what is mine in certain occasions because they know that I well updated to the news and the speculations as well about which team or player got more chances. Although they know that it is really guaranteed but I still keep on reminding them that sometimes it much more fun to bet on what they think would win rather than putting their money on me as they are just taking out the interesting part which gives them thrill.
834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: August 03, 2023, 05:59:17 PM
We will only lose if we bet on bets that we are not familiar with and that is certain to happen. But sometimes, some people intend to bet on something they don't know just because they want to get a new experience, but they can win. And if it's like that, they managed to get lucky to help him win even though he didn't intend to bet on that bet. But indeed, we should bet on bets that we know so that our chances of winning can be better but that still doesn't guarantee we can win because there is a luck factor behind it.
There are also ones who keep seeing betting advice from others and they end up betting on those, and they end up losing because of it as well. I do not think that it's going to be smart to ever trust someone with bets, or trades as well. You just have to figure it out yourself.

I only bet on the games where I know the teams or the people I am betting on, that way I know that if I end up losing, that is because whatever suppose to happen didn't happen. For example, almost all races I have bet on Max to win, and in almost all of them he did, that's how I see the situation, and could he lose? Of course, his car may stop, engine failure, crash, tire blasts off, all those things could happen, but I still bet on it because I know he will win if none of those happens.

Yes, it is indeed much better to bet on such games where we are more familiar because in that case, we got more chances to win compared to the chances of losing. Even so, it's okay to hear some speculations and other opinions about the possible outcome of a game but never copy their formula because it is much better if we analyze it personally because it is all the same, their bets and your bets doesn't have any certainty that it will go through successfully. Furthermore, there will be no blaming or what if's if we make it ourselves compared to the contrary.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul Vs Nate Diaz boxing Aug 5th on Dazn PPV on: August 03, 2023, 05:18:22 PM
Few days until fight and topic is surprisingly silent Cheesy

I hope and predict that Jake Paul would win. Mostly because he brings boxing into masses Cheesy Mainly because he is a kind of a boxing influencer right now, secondly because I want to see UFC president Dana White reaction on a victory. Betting here seems to be easy money. Nate Diaz is not good at boxing and protecting himself. Jake Paul needs a victory after a loss to continue making money.

I doubt that a victory will sway the people's view in how he got defeated against Tommy Fury, a true boxer, and not just some random UFC star that wanted to have another money by making some rubbish fight in a ring where they don't have any expertise on it. And if Jake Paul win this fight, which he got a huge chance, it will just prove again that he is only limited to a wanna-be-boxer. Kind of sad but that is the truth.
836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title on: August 02, 2023, 08:33:46 PM

Casimero is just surrounded by unprofessional people some of them are ready to exploit and his lifestyle made it worse. Even after the Butler cancellation, it took nearly a year for Casimero to fight again. Whereas Tapales after becoming overweight in his supposed WBO 118 title defense, move up right away in his next fight which made Tete the interim champion elevated as the new WBO champion which he later lost to Casimero.   

Meanwhile, Casimero should continue to stay active because once Inoue becomes undisputed, I believe he is the main target of the first undisputed title defense and there is no chance of saying no once that opportunity comes. If in case Tapales becomes undisputed, the more Casimero needs to stay active to force a mandatory shot probably via WBO since the IBF and WBA already had their mandatories waiting to be announced.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/07/31/Qb7E9.png

I like the idea of Inoue staying in the division to defend his belts. Nery is banned from fighting in Japan due to his failed drug test and missing weight against Yamanaka. Inoue will have to either fight him in the US or fight Casimero instead. I think many Japanese people would like to see Inoue avenge their countryman, but there is also those who believe a dirty fighter like Nery doesn’t deserve another opportunity.

I have said this in my previous post that the plan of Team Inoue is to unify the super bantamweight division and defend the belts once against Nery or Casimero so if the former has a questionable reputation and banned from fighting on Japanese soil then this makes Casimero the probable opponent whenever Tapales lose this fight. It may also be a welcome sight for Japanese fight fans if indeed Casimero will be the challenger as they want Inoue to punish him as a vengeance to all the Japanese that Casimero defeated.

IMO, Casimero is the only fighter in this division who has a higher chance of defeating Inoue.

Perhaps it might be competitive early, but as the rounds goes by, Inoue could possibly caught Casimero my surprised, just like what the did to Fulton. So not sure how Casimero will overcome the advantage of Inoue, tough chin, faster hands and obviously the power behind those jabs might take a toll on him the later rounds.

And it's better to see Nery vs Casimero first, this is going to be explosive fight and whoever wins then go straight to Inoue as his first defense. However, I don't see any present breed of super bantamweight to beat Inoue, Naoya is even taller than Casimero and Nery.

That is also what I have in mind that a Luis Nery vs John Riel Casimero fight should happen before this year ends because they are the only ones who got more chances to face Inoue regardless of their current ranks and it's quite obvious that WBC will be the first body to order a mandatory title defense fight because their names are pop out.

Also, I believe that Casimero knows the gravity if ever he will have the chance to fight Inoue and I don't even doubt that he is watching Inoue closely in his every fights as he still got some hopes that someday, his time will come and at that time, his fight with Inoue will be imminent and inevitable. At the same time, I don't think that Casimero will just play around because it will be his best chance to show the world what he is made of.
837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 02, 2023, 07:46:38 PM
The Lakers look better on paper, and I also expect them to make at least the playoffs next season. However, as you said, they will rely a lot on LeBron and Davis' health anyway, and that's a problem because both players have missed a lot of games due to injuries over the last few seasons. It will be good if LeBron can play at least 60 games and Davis at least 50 games next season.

You hit the nail on the head with the injuries, but are you really expecting Davis, a man in his prime, to play less games than a nearly 40 year old LeBron James?  That in itself shows the dire situation the Lakers are faced with.  They need to get rid of Anthony Davis for the good of the team.  I get that can't happen now because you have to cross your fingers and hope you'll get a healthy LeBron James and Anthony Davis going into the playoffs, but what do you think the odds of that are?  It makes you think maybe Kawhi Leonard is on to something.  How long until other teams just don't play their stars until the playoffs?

My expectations regarding LeBron and Davis are based on stats from previous seasons. Davis has never played a full season (82 games) in his entire career. Besides, the trend over the last few seasons is that if he plays at least half a season, it's an accomplishment for him. For example, he played only 36 games in the 20/21 season, 40 games in the 21/22 season, and 56 games in the 22/23 season. So yes, I expect this trend to continue next season, and Davis will likely miss more games than the aging LeBron.

But the good thing is, even if Davis misses half of the regular season, the Lakers will still make it to the playoffs. I think it's better that way, with Davis missing some games in the regular season but being 100% available in the playoffs, as playoffs matter the most.

The Lakers already have a strong defense and are a good rebounding team. The only problem is their consistency on offense; they seem to lack confidence in their outside shooting, resulting in a low percentage beyond the arc. This mistake has haunted them throughout the playoffs, especially against the Nuggets, who are a good outside shooting team.

Actually, the Denver Nuggets is a very versatile team whom their strengths are not just based on their outside shooting percentage and it's been a mystery to find out what is their weakness because in the recent season, there is no team in the NBA who was able to solve that mystery and effectively stopped or at least slowed down the Nuggets to prevent them to dominate the game.

And with that, I'm quite sure that almost all of the teams now are experimenting and will be basing their practice towards the Nuggets once their respective training camps will commence.
838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 02, 2023, 07:00:24 PM
According to the news, Inoue is set to have more fights in the current division before moving up. This presents an opportunity for Casimero to finally face the boxer whom he called "the turtle" and claim that he is the real beast. I know he is just trash talking, but the only way to find out who is the better boxer of the two is if they fight.

Casimero is not a top contender yet based on the ranking, but as he continues to have more fights, he will eventually become a top contender. I hope the time is not too late for him to become a mandatory challenger for Inoue.
Yes, we have heard so much about Casimero wanting to fight Inoue at super bantamweight. But he needs to prove himself again at this new division. So far his first 2 fights is not that impressive and I doubt that Inoue caught his attention.

But if Inoue insisted to stay in this weight, then perhaps in the future this two will have to fight. However, this monster is really very huge puncher that I doubt any of the current rank fighters has a chance on him.

I've heard about this and I'm delighted that Naoya Inoue have no plans to climb the next weight class after the undisputed fight, I know that the outcome of the fight is not yet known and that he can truly defeat Marlon Tapales because it will mean that we already underestimated him. But it's just too great to discuss about the future where Inoue will have a few more fights whilst defending his belts, and so far, from what I've read in an article, it's either John Riel Casimero or Luis Nery.
839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - July 29 on: August 02, 2023, 06:20:41 PM


Maybe the outcome of Canelo vs Jermell Charlo fight is very important because if Jermell Charlo were to win, I'm sure Crawford would see it as a good opportunity to fight Jermell Charlo by moving up, as a win would make him more popular.

How about Crawford - Canelo both have a claim to be a crowd drawer and a pound-for-pound king, I don't think Canelo can impose his skill and power against Canelo the way Crawford devastated Spence if they cross their path I hope they do, Canelo will have a beating more than what he gets from his fight against Bivol.

Crawford is already 35 not many years left in his boxing career, so his promoters and handlers should think of fighting fighters in the pound-for-pound list that he can fight in a catch weight.

That is a 3 weight, 21 pound difference. I doubt Canelo is capable of going down much further than super middleweight. If Crawford moved up and beat Canelo he would undoubtedly be considered among the greatest fighters ever. The difference is just too much for that fight to be possible any time soon. We could still get an idea of what would happen if Crawford fights Charlo and then we can compare their performance against the same fighter.

A Canelo vs Crawford fight is just too good to be true, don't take it wrong, a fight like that will indeed draw the fans from around the world because these two boxers clashing each other will be a music to the fans ears because since then they wanted a fight like this where it will be an entertaining for sure. A battle of the greatest.

But again, it's too good to be true. Both boxers are just too away from each other. A middleweight fight will be their best choice but I just don't see it coming.
840  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: For newbies and plebs who want to self-study to become "traders" on: July 30, 2023, 06:35:26 PM
I agree.

However, most newbies who make profits luckily the first time will surely lose their cool and will act like they already know how trading works. So, in their next trade they will enter a big trade and lose it, so their negative emotions will kick in and do stupid things and that's where they lost their path, chasing their loses without any plan at all.
That’s how tempting trading profits is. You might be winning in your first trade but that will never guarantee the same thing will happen in your next trade. The market is so much unpredictable due to its high volatility, so be careful not to fall too much on your greed.

While this is true for most newbies, but I’m not saying it generally. Some are still wise enough not to fall for their first profits as trading can be sometimes deceiving especially if you think you know everything about trading and how it works in the market.
