861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde on: January 18, 2023, 08:41:30 AM
Artur will surely win in this fight , Yarde is good but not enough to defeat a monster like Beterbiev , just watch the past fight of him and the answer is already given,

Perhaps the right term is that his chances are high, because he has a immaculate record and has been knocking down his opponents lately, so he possesses a power in this division that no one can take, even Anthony Yarde. But just like any boxing fans, Yarde chance is very slim and maybe what we call a miracle can make his win this fight. That one punch that will chance the outcome. But we will see, both seems to be very confident of their talent to win here.

Yup, the right term would be that Artur Beterbiev's are better and higher compared to Anthony Yarde who only got slim chance because the outcome is not yet guaranteed as the fight hasn't yet began. In my perspective, I'm seeing this bout like the Inoue-Butler unification fight where the latter's chance are also slim just like this one and even the odds are suggesting that Yarde isn't that likely, but only difference is that Yarde chose to speak some spicy words rather than being silent.

Yeah and that will bring more interest in the side of Beterbiev. Having that kind of words being circulated will push him to showcase more of his skills as the challenger is really doing such kind of stuff.

Fans will love to see both being aggressive once they meet inside the ring, it's more on
who's the one who prepared the most and how they will execute their strategy in winning
the fight.

Nobody saw the news that Duelbits announced a partnership today with world snooker to sponsor 3 prestigious snooker events ? I am personally a big fan of snooker and it is a very popular sport in the UK (and Ireland) and China. It is nice to see that they also want to sponsor "smaller" sports.

https://wst.tv/duelbits-joins-forces-with-wst/
I am not a fan of the sport of snooker, I don't even really understand this sport, I only watch it occasionally, It could be duelbits see that many of its users also come from countries that love this sport so sponsoring can make duelbits even more known in that country through matches held in this sport, and duelbits held 3 events this year in snooker, we see duelbits continues to grow.

Yup, with sponsorship the exposure of the business will be extended from the place and also with the coverage of the game. Like you, I'm also not a big fan of this sport, but occasionally I watch some games.

Duelbits sponsorship expand the reached of the business. We will see more potential new gamblers
who will going to use the site, the impact will add additional popularity and afterwards more new
gamblers to play and use the platform.

Either way, the Lakers should call a timeout and nothing else. That was around 10 secs. left and lots of time to make a good play.
The Lakers are down by 1 and no one from the coaching staff even advises their players to call a timeout. They blew that opportunity and chances to win the game. I don't know why they thought that time and didn't decide to call a timeout.
I want the close game though that both teams managed to perform where there are lots of exchange of score leads happened.
Maybe that is due to the inexperience of the coach and his staff. But Lebron was also in the court, he could have called the time out himself since he is the most veteran player in there. Anyway, if they called a time out, they can set up an offense but the defense of Philly will also set up. Maxey and other defenders will be on court and it may be harder to execute.
Now, I really doubt the capabilities of the Lakers coaching staff. It is not yet playoffs and they are not able to make the proper calls already. That is too bad.

It seems as though the coaching staff of the Lakers has no idea what they are supposed to be doing. There are times when you look at the coaches and wonder what they are thinking. They are able to make decisions and feel as if they have a plan in place. However, that is not the case with the Los Angeles Lakers. In my opinion, the coaching staff of the Lakers looks like they are just doing things and hoping for the best.

Well, that's what you and the others thought. We all have criticized coaches and players for every mistakes they have done in their career, but remember, they are always better than us. Plans and plays doesn't work every time. We can't just say, the coaching staff has no idea of what needs to be done. They actually do, they're only making bad decisions, especially when it did not work.
The Lakers may not be easy to coach, because of LeBron presence. He is the kind of player who have a huge influence in the whole management. So, that's not gonna be easy for the head coach to handle.

The problem with a team that got something that is really especially in this league, I can't say nothing but to agree with your statement, those coaches and players are better than us.

We think that we know and understand the game, but in reality, if you are in their shoes you might do the worse,
Lakers are trying, but sometimes the outcome is not favoring them.

Today's performance of LeBron and the rest of the squad are great. They manage to win and the distance
is quiet enough to avoid another snatched.

864  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: January 16, 2023, 12:47:49 PM

To make a living, we must work. In uncertain days like now facing the global economic downturn, a stable job with high income becomes a scarcity. A side job or business seems like more necessary than ever, which can minimize the risks of losing your current job, ending up pennyless. However, a side job/business also takes time and efforts and can never be attained whenever we need it. What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?
In this case, investment is then suitable. Because what you need is to buy and hold, unlike in business where it needs time for you to manage. But if we know the law of leverage, running a business is not a problem even if you have a stable as it won't beat your time either. Having multiple sources of income is gonna be a great decision when we wanted to improve our finances but of course, we have to work hard and manage our time properly otherwise, we only just fail. And sometimes we sacrifice our time for our family.

That last part of your statement, I might say not sometime, but most of the time we need to sacrifice our time if we wanted to be more successful in achieving our goals.

Being financially freedom is a task that we can achieve if we are keen to find the right ways,
having business or right investment will be the ways of improving our finances, you just need
to work hard in finding the right place and type of business/investment to use.
865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do you feel about market recovery on: January 16, 2023, 05:21:07 AM
Of course not, this is not the bull, we are still very far from such a saying, the market's recovery slightly and the rise of Bitcoin to $ 21,000 does not mean the end of bear season and the beginning of the bull.
Also, some altcoins have achieved a significant increase, such as:

GALA 260%, SLO 209% , APT 170%, GMT 140%, MANA 120%

The news of lower inflation in the United States caused this bullish rally in the market and now that will more than likely pass, so don't expect the rally to continue.

Therefore, I expect that the market has taken its limit now, and Bitcoin will start to decline and return to 17k$ levels, and if it exceeds this number, we may witness a new bottom.
I don't know why you say there will be no growth this year and expect a new bitcoin decline, but it seems to me that in 2023 there will be a recovery of many coins. That doesn't mean there will be a bullish season, it means that the bearish season will end soon. Markets don't go down forever, nor do they go up forever. There are good opportunities for buyers right now.

I go with the golden opportunities if you have the trust in you. We don't know yet if this might be the start of another good pump or it just a whale dive that can result in another huge dump.

We have to work our way to make sure that we are both ready with what will the market
will bring us while we are inside industry, still have time to research and investigate if
you are still in plan working into this investment,.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 16, 2023, 05:00:14 AM
They need to win even without Durant, but honestly, Thunder now are very scary as they won their last 2 road games with a double digit lead.
They beat Bulls by 12 points, and 76ers by 19 points.
You are not wrong. This OKC Thunder team had been upsetting too many teams now and they have more wins than the Lakers.  Cheesy

Another frustrating day. I didn't expect this to happen.
1/3 on my early bets.
Brooklyn Nets lost against the Thunder, not the number I am expecting from Kyrie Irving with only 15 points. I thought he will try to lead the team while KD is out and he will have more freedom for his ball-hog play. He just could not sink it in. 7/20 FG.

The Warriors lost too. Vucevic was sizzling hot, any throw that he does is a basket.  Grin Now that's the step up they need without DeRozan.

Sacramento Kings covered the -6.5. Congratulations to all the winners.
I didn't try to chase my losses today, just enjoying to watch the last games.


Unexpectedly lost from both Warriors and Nets, i was in the impression that they can win the game so a parlay is good for both teams. It was a surprise when I saw the outcome.

Especially with the Warriors, they are complete, but Bulls manage to beat them,
and like what you said, it was Vucevic who lift the Bulls and carry that heavy load
while DeRozan is still out.
867  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: January 15, 2023, 08:19:33 PM
currently the price of Matic is still below $ 1, which means it is very good for us if we want to invest in Matic,
there is no denying that Polygon is one of the altcoin projects that might be able to replace Solana,
especially now that Solana is in a bad issue and makes the price SOL is really a dump, so it's a great opportunity for Matic to reach the top 10 marketcap.

There's a big chance that Matic will be able to reach the top 10 but still depends from how the develpoers will manage to attract supporters and investors.

We can all speculate but the actual movement will rely with how the team will gain the attention of
those possible investors to bring their investment, if you have that trust with Matic then its a good
time for you to buy and store while waiting for the big pump.
868  Economy / Economics / Re: Use your money wisely. Invest or Deposit ? on: January 15, 2023, 01:03:04 PM
In the current market I would be more interested in investing my money without depositing it in the bank. Bank gives us fixed amount of interest but if I invest it will be seen that there is no mention of limited interest If this market can be recruited then I think it is definitely possible to earn good profit in future which is not possible by depositing in bank. the So considering the current context, I will definitely invest my money. But all of us who invest know that there is some risk involved in investing. But if the objective is to earn profit then we must accept risk.
Even if you invest in the crypto market but must determine the allocation of funds to be invested, it is not recommended that you use all funds for crypto investment and the ideal fund for investment may be 30-40% of all the funds you have, you must have savings in the bank , funds for basic needs, including funds for emergency needs. The crypto market is very risky if you involve all funds because when you need emergency funds then you will not be able to sell assets when you experience high losses and other options are applying for loans to anyone. Investment is a matter of funds that will be used for the long term so investment funds are not tied to other funds unless you are bankrupt and have no other funds at all.

Proper management and know how to work with the investment that to pick, there are many potential risk that you need to consider before jumping with crypto investment.

If you know how to work with this kind of market, the chance of making something good around this market
is possible, though if you are just being move by hype, the chance of losing probably will hit your investment.

I can't believe, Clarkson is again playing like an all star, he scored 38 points against the 76ers. But it's just unfortunate that they lose the game, but it's a 1 point lose only. The level of accuracy and the high level of confidence, that's what Clarkson is now, I believe the management are really pressured because they cannot give the demand of Clarkson, but they want him to stay.

The level of his game really improve a lot thanks to this team who give him the chance to prove his worth after being traded to Cavs, not sure about his contract there's no update if Jazz will keep him.

Things in NBA will only be intact once it's already happening, so better to keep an eye on the latest
updates to know whether he will get what he is asking or he will be traded to another team that
will risk for his demand.

Q2 upcoming eth sharding wil kill matic if they didnt expanding current tech, and many similar projects gonna less popularity specially layer2 only projects, they need evolve, web3 hype emerge next cycle for gaining attraction for real use case beyond crypto world
I'm sure his team has thought about this in terms of developing technology,
because if there is no movement at all it is not impossible it will be abandoned,
We'll see and follow the developments in the future.

They should act and move while the market is now gaining some good movement, if they will not do anything supporters may abondon them find for new or any old assets that can generate good profits.

We should wait and give the team/developer time, if they have good future plan to attract more
users and other developers, the value will still pump back. Only time will tell if what update
can trigger the big pump for this asset.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 14, 2023, 10:53:53 AM
And winning against the Clippers is no joke. Murray and Porter Jr. are now healthy, they are a different team now.
So true, that's why I am also amazed at how they ended it. Closing games in a good lead had been an issue for many teams today and yet they did it perfectly without letting the Clippers have a run.
If this keeps up, they don't need to overuse Jokic and injuries can be prevented as Coach Michael Malone could now rotate his players and rest them well. Having a deep bench will do a lot of things for them.
Exactly, that's their problem last season, they are heavily reliant on Jokic that's why their big man will be exhausted in the 4th quarter. But there was no Murray and Porter last season IIRC, so it's really a huge upgrade that these two are healthy.
Jokic and Murray plus all the role players around Denver, a very competitive team for the west. We don't know what will happen after the All-Star, but this team is expected to perform more.

With complete and healthy squad, the winning chance is good for Denver possible to see them chasing
another birth for the west finals, too early, but who knows right?
872  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it true that this AI is good for trading? on: January 14, 2023, 10:40:45 AM
For chat related things and asking questions this AI software is good but won't rely on such things when it comes to trading because my funds are at stake.It can answer your trading related queries for what information it retrieved from the backend or how it answer but these bots are still not useful in actual trading so it must be done with your own mind.
I'd see it was perfectly made for answering queries but if we talk about trading or those that are performing more on technical and market analysis, nothing could do it other than humans. Because these AIs are not programmed to become emotional, not programmed to analyze the market on their own but are created based on the history of the market and interact with what traders wanted to happen. Meaning, this stuff relies on the trader who uses it, and if we have no knowledge of trading definitely, it never works well.

Exactly, the point here is AI still needs human knowledge. Those who are using it and manifesting from bot are people who already gained enough knowledge to configure the settings that they wanted to execute.

The good thing with bot, unlike human the emotions when fears dominate you'll be forced to react
in unnecessary actions, placing your investment in a big risk, while with bot it will let you pass
the market situation without doing anything.

Being observant and also taking time before jumping to any investment is barely needed, like what you said, it is your hard earned money that you saved and you don't want to lose it with a kind of investment with huge possible risk.

Though, with knowledge and good understanding about the market that you choose,
the chance to make something good in return is possible as well. More on your good
anticipation and good research before placing your money in any investment field.

Finding a good investment is also a very big job that people spend a lot of time on, and this is understandable when it comes to their money. A deposit shouldn't even be considered as an option to keep your money, it doesn't make much sense as you won't earn anything and other than that your money will not be with you when you might need it. Investing is not easy, that's why so few people do it, and do it right.

Doing it right is another thing. As you mentioned, finding the right investment is really tough, as we can't easily entrust our money with something that we are unsure.

You need to figure things out before jumping to any conclusion as a hard earned money
is something that is really important to you, and using it the right way only means that you
will try to grow and let it work for you.
874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 14, 2023, 07:06:19 AM
Bad bet on the Clippers, I was thinking they'll easily win because the Joker is not available, but it's just unfortunate that the opposite thing happen. Denver Nuggets dominated the home team beating them by 12 points.

No Joker, no problem for them as Murray and Porter Jr. have led the team against the Clippers.

Leonard scored 24 points, but he does not get more support from his teammates.



Murray is able to provide leading the Nuggets in winning this game, no Jokic, but the squad is all ready to compete. It's nice to see Kawai trying his best, but the productions from his teammates ain't able to match the Nuggets' support.

Moving forward, most of the game favored the favorite aside from the Bulls and Clippers, a good job for those who
place their bets with ML and doing some parlay without these two teams as the win with the combined games are
really satisfying and enjoying if you pick the right selections for your combinations.
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 13, 2023, 07:16:47 PM
Everyone lost their bets because of Philadelphia.
I wish you had bet on Toronto, I had more confidence in Toronto.

Let's focus on tonight's games.
Yeah, I forgot that. I was busy watching the 76ers game and when I checked the Raptors game they are already at a good lead and the spread was like -12.5 if I remember correctly.

9 games today. Wooh. How I wish I have enough money to bet on that many games so I am going for parlays.
But I have 3 single games already locked in.

Detroit Pistons - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - It will depend on CJ McCollum and I wish he will have an awesome night again.
Washington Wizards - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-5.5) - Wizards are undermanned, Knicks should win this easily.
San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-10.5) - A team that just got their star players back and is hungry for a win. Adjustments are their issue but they are known to easily get past that.
Good luck everyone.


I like the game between the Warriors and Spurs, it will be in front of huge audiences a target to break the current  records for most fans attendance, the spread is huge though.

But like what you mentioned, they have their core stars now and adjustment is not tough with how they
play the system, let see if they can convert it to a double digit lead after winning the game.
876  Economy / Economics / Re: The poor people with their reasoning on: January 13, 2023, 12:47:16 PM
Yes, it's true, not everyone is lucky and can set aside their money to invest instead of using it to invest but they will be more concerned with the basic needs in their life. Actually you can make investments, but with the risk that they will not be fulfilled even if it is only for food. What's the point of investing but have to ignore or "abandon" yourself or even your family. We cannot judge other people without knowing what they are really experiencing.
But will you also agree that investment is about sacrifice. Even with the little one earn they can set aside some amount no matter how small it is for investment. Been born into poverty is one coincidence but remaining poor is a choice. Richies does not spring out from the sky it is one's conscious effort that bring them into the reality of their dreams.
Of course investment is a sacrifice, but it must also be accompanied by one's ability. Everyone can make sacrifices, but the situation is different here. Are you able to invest but you can't fill your stomach in a full day? This is very selfish in my opinion. I say this because I see some people who even have trouble even if it's just to eat. Sometimes they can eat breakfast, and they find food the next day. We may give suggestions for their future, but not in a way that discredits them.
Just be sure that your sacrifices would really be that worth on which you cant really just sacrifice without minding about the probable things that might happen ahead.We know that
not all we do engage do turns out to be positive or really having a good result which it would really be just normal that you should really be that mindful on how to handle it well.
You should make it worth since you had made out some sacrifices because you are really that looking on the better or good side of things and not focusing on the bad ones..
There are just things in life which we cant able to avoid no matter how hard we do work.

Indeed, there are things in life that we can't avoid and what we needed to do is to adjust and try to work on it for much better result, dwelling on it will just limit you to attain success.

It's always a challenge that you needed to compete if you really wanted to have a good future,
those reasoning might be a tough to overcome but it's you and your self-will that will break
that mindset to deliver a good solution in life.

Anyone pick on the OKC to win against Sixers at Wells Fargo? it was a huge upset so not sure if someone here has the courage to bet on the OKC on the road and with Joel Embiid on the line up again.

Not just Embiid but the whole core lineup of Sixers are complete to defend the house, but the Thunder snatch the win!

Quote
I wasn't able to watch the game, but SGA had a big game with 37 points, and almost close to a triple double with 8 reb and 6 asst.

I also check his stats as I don't see them winning with the home team with Embiid and Harden combo, but he really did carry his team.

Quote
Celtics on the roll against beating the Nets without KD. Good bet for the Celtics backers as they won 11 point margin.

Yup! Celtics is too much KD-less Nets but the other JB is also resting in the side of the Celtics,. Just a good rotation that matters.

Investing has become a very common job now and it's also easier for everyone to find knowledge about how to invest wisely and correctly. Indeed, basically knowledge is the main thing that must exist before doing anything, but everyone also needs to make their own practice by looking at the direction of the knowledge he is studying. So that his learning is not in vain and becomes more optimal because he has carried out experiments on what he has studied diligently.
but not everyone dares to invest because there are many risks that will be faced, especially after someone saves hard, of course they don't want to just lose their money with the risks they face.

and for qualified knowledge before plunging into an investment, of course, that is something that is required to do, so therefore the right thing and must be done is to continue to save and while gaining knowledge for the investments that will be made.

In today's increasingly sophisticated world, there are so many investment promotions anywhere and in any way, so we shouldn't choose randomly and must be observant to see to minimize the risks that may occur in the future.

Being observant and also taking time before jumping to any investment is barely needed, like what you said, it is your hard earned money that you saved and you don't want to lose it with a kind of investment with huge possible risk.

I am so disappointed with the Portland TrailBlazers, they still seemed to be the same team who does not play good defense. They already have a good lead in the 4th quarter but in the crunch time, they allowed the Cavaliers to easily score, Garland and Mitchell destroyed them in the 4th quarter.

Yes, Lillard had a big game with 50 points, but that's useless if they can win games.

I agree, there were arguments in the past the Lillard is just wasting his prime years with the Trailblazers. They used to be one of the hottest team early, but now they are in the 11th spot and with that lost, their 5th straight.

So even if Lillard will score 50 points or more or made 3 in the logo, it's doesn't count. He has to make the team better, get into the playoff because as of now it seems that it doesn't look that way.

Is just like Jordan back then, he can easily be make huge numbers but the Bulls ended up losing. Lillard's talent might be wasted. He will retire just like other stars who didn't get any ring.

Unless he will be surrounded by great players who can help to bring the title of he will demand for a trade
and try to go with the team who are good at chasing the crown.

Yes, it was a big upset by the Phoenix Suns second unit winning against the Curry lead Warriors, but I do agree that it might have throw their rhythm together and for sure they will come back strong and positive in their next games.

For tonight's game I decided to just do a 2 game parlay.

Bulls -1.5 @1.96 + Bucks -2.5 @1.70 = 3.33 odds.

There is still Zach Lavine that can lead the Bulls in this game. He has been playing superb in their winning streak. So they will have to go back to their winning column here. As for the Bucks, Giannis might dominate this game, although this is a road game, I think they can get the W here.
I'll tail this one to add on my 3 single early bets. Bulls ML for me.
I've been trying to compare the matchups and Washington Wizards are still missing Bradley Beal. Kristaps Porzingis is also questionable to play and also Gafford. So it's mostly Kuzma, Barton, and Avdija they will rely on.
Vucevic could try to dominate the paint without a shot blocker present in the game and Zach LaVine helping spread the floor for him.
Chicago Bulls are still a decent team even without DeRozan and Lonzo Ball.
Let's hope they'll have a great night even on road.

Not really sure what happen to the Bulls in this game, they are in control, then suddenly that huge explosion by the Wizards in the 3rd?

When I checked the score it's 77-75 in favor of the Wizards in the 3rd but I still think that they can win or covered the spread in the 4th. But I guess they don't have enough legs as they try to fight it in a very close game. And Zach was somewhat lost in the last seconds that could have force the game into Overtime and give them the chance to win this game.

Something that really unavoidable if the game is not for you, Wizard fought hard and they harvest the win against the Bulls, I also think that the game is for the Bulls.

I was hoping that the game will go to OT as the winning chance of Bulls is better but it did'nt happen
Wizard win and nothing we can do but to move on and try our luck next time.
