Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavs -4.5 - Also one of the top teams in the East with so many options for offense but what they are best at is their defense with their twin towers Mobley and Allen. They should cover this amount.
We will have some interesting games in this round.
But I'm also following this Cavaliers game (and it was also my "only" bet)
The Pacers are a good team, but I believe they won't be enough to beat the Cavs, who have been doing well in their games lately.

Good luck everyone!

Unfortunately, Pacers' young cores are able to suppress the hot squad of Cavaliers. Both teams do have a good shared scoring execution, but it was the home team who managed to win the game.

It was a close game and Cavs were still on the lead after the first half but the home team manage to create
good executions, then make a good stop to make sure that Cavs won't gain comfort till the last minute
of the game,.

Beterbiev is older anyways, so the strength and reflexes aren't the same as the previous years. 

Yarde's camp needs to work on this one. If they can find the best strategy to take this little advantage against Beterbiev, then he might have to get an opportunity to take down his opponent.

Though most of the time experienced fighters also take this as their advantage, knowing that they
can be exposed so they will find the best counter and try to dominate using old school strategy
to work on with their opposing challenger.

How about the Nets winning 10 straight. That seemed like a pipe dream a few weeks ago. It seems like they’re starting to get it figured out....
Yes impressive streak after all the drama and toxicity around the team. It's probably the result of players being happy with their current system. I guess credit must be given to head coach Vaughn as well.

The Nets have been really impressive lately, and it looks like the new head coach is doing well, but I'm still skeptical about this team. The problem is that no one knows what will come to Irving's mind in the future. Don't get me wrong, Irving performs well at the moment, and he's a significant contributor to the Nets' wins. However, we should keep in mind that he did some irresponsible things before, and there is no guarantee he won't let his team down again.

Yeah, perhaps the new coach has something to do with the current chemistry of the team. And it seems that the drama surrounding diva 1, Kyrie Irving has been settled and so it diva 2, Ben Simmons, comfortable on his position, sometimes he score more points and assists and then play good defense, and then games wherein he is not existent. But at least there are no more noises behind. However, they are winning so everything is good, but when they score losing again, for sure there will be finger pointing again. So we shouldn't sit with this one, the best test will come on the playoff and who will be their opponent. Still very far though, many things can happen.


The test of good chemistry will take place on the playoff. They are really performing since they've achieved 10 game winning streak
and they are really enjoying playing together.

It might be the coach and the stars who show determination to win each game. Most are really
being carried by KD and Kyrie in terms of offense, but we also see the adjustments of all the players
who are doing their best to share the court with these two leaders.

Less than 1 hour for 500k Christmas giveaway, wish you all best of luck!
Let's see if raffle hits winning ticket for me, I have enough tickets to win something nice 🙂
Is it possible for someone to win such, if it's possible i believe that someone can as well win it, that's what is good, but this kind of bonus or ticket as you May refer it to, i believe that it's not what we wish to get and especially the luck one, but i don't know if duelbit use to do such kind of things before, that is what i don't really know, or this year is the first of doing such amount of giveaway
1 person got $100k prize and few more $30k rewards.
No big shot on raffle, only $100 won once during stream. So this year contest was unlucky for me, last year I have got more prizes with similar ticket count. Congrats to winners!

Congrats to that person who won $100k, a huge and decent amount to win from the raffle. And to you, it's good to try, as winning tickets are not for you this year.

Luck mostly influences those who win and they will enjoy the amount where Duelbits provide, nothing
to say, but it's something that will keep those winners to stay and use the platform to continue their gambling
who knows what will be their winning chance next year.

To add: Griner also plans to join Phoenix Mercury only, nothing else. I hope she succeeds and gets her contract.

This might be the news that fans wanted to hear from her, not what happened from the past but whatever her plans now as long as she
still showing interest to play back then, it's good to discuss.

Though it's still far from now, but having a contract and make herself available for practices together with
the team will give a good light to those fans who are waiting for her comeback.

Invest in these altcoins and hold for a long time you will definitely get a good profit.
Now it is highly recommended to invest in the long term, December will end in a few days and the market conditions have not yet shown signs of turning a bullish market, it is very appropriate to take this opportunity to start investing to make assets in the future.
A true investor, of course, will not waste this golden opportunity which has a very big chance of getting big profits in the future.

A wise investor will take aside fear and will continue to play against the market, this kind of opportunities are for those who still believe that the market will bounce back and will give decent profits.

Many are still asking with this same question, but only a few are working on how they will
take advantage with the big potential that they will be able to manifest great success.

I agree that facing these two teams in the Western Conference Finals would be interesting to see, but it's hard to predict at this point where they will meet each other in the playoffs. I mean that the Suns and Mavs' places in the standings could change significantly by the end of the regular season, given that they are currently in 5th and 6th place, respectively.

If ever the final bracketing won't give a chance for Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns to meet each other in the 1st and 2nd Rounds of the playoffs, they should just do their best to win the series and reached the Western Conference Finals. But before talking about their playoffs face-off, of course, they should manage first to seal a playoff spot as Western Conference is really tight where even those on 10th and 11th still can manage to get in.

Too early though to speculate anything related to the final bracket as we are just approaching the season half in February.



That's much better, not to assume yet since there are many things that may happen after the All-Star, but if fate will bring them again in the meeting to the next round.

I agree that it would be a nice matchup and we don't know if the same outcome will take place, maybe Phoenix
will manage to bounce back or maybe Luka will be more ready to face them and give the same result
just like what happened last season.
929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: December 28, 2022, 09:14:18 PM
$20 in how many years do you think? No doubt, Polygon is a solid blockchain and has the potential to really do well in long term. In my opinion, 20$ may not be achievable in 5 years taking into account the current conditions of the cryptocurrency space. Well, nothing is impossible, I'm bullish on Polygon (MATIC) for a long term.

We can't tell or measure the time frame for this coin, only if there's a huge demand then maybe this project will reach $20, still depends on how investors and traders will support this asset.

And adding to that, it will also depend on how the developers will choose this chain for their
project, Matic is competitive, but it's always depends on how those people that surround this
market will support the project and push the price up.

Congrats to those who won in tonight's game, some very close but there are games that are predictable if I must say. I was able to catch the last two games though, so I try to make the best out of it, like 10 minutes before the game.



Golden State though need some push to overcome the Hornets. It took Green's basketball IQ, fouling Plumee in the last two minutes because he is a not a good FT shooter, and it did work, missing two crucial. And Jordan Poole with s spin on Plumee and then on the next play he has a good assists on Kuminga for a dunk to seal the win for them.



That's was a good parlay, GSW needs the win and Poole and Thompson again are bringing that lift to escape the game against the Hornets, not just the two but all of them are really doing their best.

Congrats to your nice win, and to all those who add these two games on their list,
a sweet win if they didn't add Sixers to the parlay, sad to say that Embiid's didn't
get the help that he need to continue the winning streak.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cock fight game on: December 28, 2022, 07:54:34 AM
The government can certainly have uniformed officers who are honest in carrying out their duties to catch the perpetrators of illegal activities. And even though it was difficult, they would have help from the people around who would help find information on where the cockfighting took place.

Maybe if the government that allows gambling can legalize cockfighting to get income from the business, it won't be difficult for cockfighting organizers because they can hold it in many places. At the same time, the government can also get additional income. Thus, the government can implement regulations and all parties can get their respective wishes.

There are only a few places in Asia where gambling is legal (such as Macau and Singapore). But in none of the countries around the world, cock fighting is legal. In some countries such as India and Spain, bull fighting is legal because it is recognized as a part of the culture. Countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam should also do the same for cock fighting, because it is part of their culture. I don't know how much they want to preserve their culture, because nowadays everyone either wants to be a Westerner or Arab.

Depends on how those countries will implement any government rules regarding to cockfighting. We all know that there are Asian countries if not many, but there are who still patronize this gambling.

If those who recognized it as part of their culture, it will be good as they can accumulate good
amount of income taxes out from this gambling, if being well-planned and the government is
really serious, then it will be good.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 28, 2022, 06:24:51 AM
The Nets are starting to look like they’re firing on all cylinders. They’ve quietly won 9 straight with Kyrie and KD both scoring more than 30 in their last outing. KD looked a little frustrated at times yelling at teammates, but maybe that’s what they need out of him as a leader because whatever they’ve started doing seems to be working. They’re now the #3 team in the East and looking good.
They've won 9 straight games but surprisingly, nobody is talking too much about it, or I'm not updated only Cheesy.

Nevertheless, it's good to see the Nets starting to get some wins already after that awful start and a lot of drama that went on. Looks like their new coach is a perfect fit for the team. It seems like the yelling that KD is doing is firing all of the Nets roster and performing way better than what they are. KD and Kyrie are expected main offensive players for the team but what's better is that they are getting enough help for their role players and Simmons is slowly getting his rhythm already.

The Nets are 3rd in sportsbook before the season in which team has a higher chance to win. With their current roster and their current performance and if they will continue to play like this and there will be no injuries, they are formidable team to deal in the Eastern Conference.

With the way they are trusting each other and how the role players are performing, I can go with that statement, without any injuries
and with a complete squad moving to the next round, Nets is one of the good contender from the east.

9 straight winning streak and both of your superstars are playing hard. They are boosting the
role players to act and play the way they wanted.

Good to see that we are really seeing KD as a leader, with that yelling something that he needed
to bring his competitiveness with his teammates.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 27, 2022, 08:47:55 PM
He will surpass Kareem, there's no doubt about that but stat padding is not on his bucket list. I just don't see it.
About defense, well he had a history of being bad at it even when he was young.

He is not Westbrook, so he will not do that... What Lebron wants now is to win another championship as he is already fulfilled with his individual records, but on the discussions of the greats, winning a championship is his best weapon to be considered as close to the greatest.

LeBron James is prioritizing more to add another championship trophy in his closet, at least 1 before he says goodbye to the league, but I don't think that he can do that this season. He could've carried the team if he can but that is not the case anymore and right now, he is becoming a liability to the Lakers defense. Breaking another record like passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the all-time points leader will come, so there's no need to prioritize that as he only needed to be consistent on his contributions per game.
I am pretty sure that he's still aiming for another title before closing everything, but yup, that title can't be done for this season,
a lot of competitions who are much more capable of winning the title.

With Lakers, LeBron can make more points and achieving in breaking Kareem's record is not
by far anymore, with his healthy body, he can surpass that record and lead the NBA in scoring
title. An individual achievement that can be added to his supremacy.

Compared to a deposit, of course, investment is the best option to continue to grow our money, in the past,
Yes, now it's a wise choice to prefer Investment over deposits, actually there are several places to invest and guarantee good, we can invest in Gold or Cryptocurrency, it's just that I'm more interested in Cryptocurrency which is actually equally profitable, because both are very valuable , one of which is very appropriate if we invest in Bitcoin or Altcoin rather than deposit.

But there are also some people who prefer to keep their money in the bank, but I prefer the name investing, depositing and saving money is pointless, now it's better to invest.

If you already have broader knowledge of investment, then you are good to go. There are many advantages with investment compared
by simply deposit or saved your money.

Though there is also a risk that you need to understand when taking an investment, there's no guarantee unless
you really focus yourself on collecting knowledge about your chosen investment and you are willing to give your time
and patience to wait for your success.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 26, 2022, 05:08:50 AM

Good contenders in the West now IMO are the following teams.

1-Nuggets
2-Dallas
3-LA Clippers

Those 3 hot teams are capable of moving forward and bring good competitions with other playoff contenders from the West. Maybe we can also add NOP, Memphis and the Suns.

All are good at adjusting and with a healthy squad, we can count them through the competitions with the
rising stars are really tough from the west side, it will be good for the fans to see more competitive squad
in bringing entertaining playoff series.
936  Economy / Economics / Re: A career - as an employee or a business owner which do you prefer and why? on: December 25, 2022, 11:02:57 PM
It is always good to be a business owner because it doesn't have any limitation on income but I do not mind going through employment and being an employee if it will strengthen my knowledge in the field of business I am about to venture.  Having knowledge about the business is one of the best things to have when we planned to be a business owner.  It is also a crucial factor of success in establishing a business and the major reason why many businesses failed is that the owner lacks experience in that field.
I'll do both things too, just to have that security of income being employed while doing any passion around businesses that I might get into venured with.
So, if a business I try to establish fails, that's okay because I'm still employed and will just continue to keep working on it. I've known people that also did both things but when their business succeeded, they've left the corporate world and focused on it and that's what everyone might do when their established business is already stable.

Not a bad idea to start a business while you are still employed. Securing your finances while venturing into your business will help you to explore more. I mean, with your salary, you can sustain your needs while trying to succeed with your business.

There are people who manage to succeed with their own small businesses while still in a corporate
job, making sure that they are secured with all those expenses that needed to be covered while
trying to find the right ideas to establish their business.
937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cock fight game on: December 25, 2022, 10:15:34 PM

I don't know how people feel seeing animals fighting for their life and gamblers betting on them, I used to see some young men with dogs wrestling each around my environment, and most times I use to feel bad that those dogs are being maltreated.
I think the government should put in place some law that protects animals, and anyone found wanting should face the rout of the law because animals are not getting the necessary protection their to deserve and their owners choose to do whatever their wish to the point of gambling on the life of those animals. Cock fighting is not too popular nowadays.

Yup, the government is the one that needs to act in order to lessen this kind of gambling, but like what I mentioned before from my replies, even the government will apply rules. There are still people who will continue.

They are capable to do perform it illegally since there are still gamblers who are willing to take
the risk and bet or bring their roster for a cockfight in an illegal arena.
938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cock fight game on: December 24, 2022, 09:53:42 PM
^

Cockfighting used to be widespread in many countries because people demanded entertainment, which was not as plentiful as it is today, and travelers brought home many entertainments that were held hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from home. At one period even cockfighting was held in my country, but then this tradition was eradicated by the authorities.

So it is possible to eradicate almost everything - if only one had the desire.
It is not as simple, as long as there is demand then there are going to be people that will make the effort to supply what people want.

And what better example than the drug war, more than 100 years have passed with governments trying to destroy the demand for drugs, and while billions have been spent and millions of people have been killed or arrested you can still get those substances almost anywhere around the world, and while cock fighting does not have such a huge demand, there is enough of it to guarantee that we will not see it disappear during our lifetimes.
Enough to survive for another decade since there is still culture that patronizing this gambling, cockfighting will survive and continue as long as there is money that can be generated.

Expect people who already involve to this gambling will add more people to play the same gamble,
with the word of mouth and how they deliver some alluring ideas they can bring gamblers to play
and from that beginning, it will start a new gambler who will gamble using this venue.
939  Economy / Economics / Re: Use your money wisely. Invest or Deposit ? on: December 24, 2022, 08:49:49 PM
Compared to a deposit, of course, investment is the best option to continue to grow our money, in the past, if we wanted to invest in stocks, we needed at least thousands of dollars, but now with $ 100 we can buy and choose the stocks we like, especially the presence of an application on a smartphone, which of course makes it easy for investors to invest, besides that it's even better if we also invest in the types that are currently trending, namely cryptocurrencies.

Some people will prefer to deposit their money in the banks because they do not know what to do with it and this is not the best. The reason why people deposit their money is because they lack ideas on how to invest it. It will be best to always go for investing, depositing money is not of any good because it won't add value . Money is suppose to grow and this can only happen if money is invested.  It is important seek for knowledge to get understandings how to grow money.  Growing money might not be just in crypto alone, but in other areas , investing is always the best option on to make money get value.

Afraid of wasting their money if they are holding it, saving everything inside the bank is the first option and after that they will let it and be contented with small APY coming from the bank.

It's not a good way like what you said, investing is the best practice if you know what to do
with your money, finding the right venue to invest in and choosing the right project to invest
will give you a better chance to grow your money.
940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 24, 2022, 06:38:30 AM
So as early as this time, they really need to get their act together to at least move up in the position wherein they will not get into the play-in because it's going to be a do or die for them. But with Davis out and the rest of the roster are just performing so-so or below expectations, then chances are they will not going to be in the play-in.
With how they are performing now, even reaching play-in still a big question, and AD is now out Lakers needs to have someone who can help them, someone who's a 2-way player that can really help.

Quote
Warriors case could be different though, they could be stack up, but they are not clicking, Wiggins and Curry is injured. Their second unit is not as good as last year.

Warriors can be a surprise, once both stars are available the winning chance is better
for them, Curry and Wiggins productions will help lifting them and make some good
winning streak.
