Been out for some days, and now I'm betting again. Here are my picks.

Orlando Magic - Washington Wizards - Orlando Magic
- Kuzma isn't playing currently, and Beal is in foul trouble with 5 fouls on the 3rd quarter. I think the Magic can defend their home and win on this one. Gotta bet during the game because I woke up late.
‍
Sacramento Kings - Boston Celtics - Sacramento Kings
- Many are underestimating the Kings still even after how they are performing this season. We are near at the end of the season already, but still may are doubting about them. I bet on them on 2.65 odds because I think they can win against the Celtics. Kings are 7-3 on their last 10 games while the Celtics got 5-5.

Good luck to all bettors.

Yes it will reach the $50,000 price per Bitcoin.
The only question is "WHEN?"

With regards to you being afraid because of the fact that it might go up even more after selling it, I guess the only advice that I can give you to that one is "be contented". Be contented in the profits that you can get after selling it because after all, you don't know what can happen in the future. Asking here will not change everything because we also don't know what can happen. What's important is you got profit from selling it then it doesn't matter anymore if the price goes up or not.

If you're afraid that the price of Bitcoin might go up after you selling it, maybe do sell in batches. Sell 40% when it reaches X price, and then another 40% when it goes up even more, and then the remaining 20% when it goes up even more. However this isn't the case all the time because there might be a chance where after you selling your holdings, it might go down after a few hours. Plan it. Build a strategy that will work for you.

Most of us are down especially those who bought last year or 2 years ago.
However, if you bought at near the bottom of the market last year then currently you are in a profit since the market has recovered since then. Currently, my portfolio is down at around 30%-40%. Not bad knowing what happened last year.

My Bitcoin allocation has been 50%. 40% has been on 2 altcoins namely Ethereum and Cardano, and the remaining 10% are those lower market cap altcoins.

Hmmmmmm. TBH, I can't think of a number where I'm enough whenever it reaches that price. Maybe if my portfolio doubled or even 2.5x when the bull run comes then I will do Dollar-Cost Averaging on selling. I don't want to do the same thing that I did 2 years ago where I just watched the market up, and didn't sell a portion of my portfolio until my potential profits slowly is going away.

Risk of the price of the token or coin going down that the amount of tokens that you are getting in staking isn't enough to cover your impermanent loss that you got while staking it.

I also experienced this type of scenario where the token that I bought went down after I bought it. It went down too much that I'm still suffering losses even though I'm getting coins. Though it's impermanent because if you will wait until the bull run happens, for sure you will get profits from capital appreciation plus the tokens that you got from staking.

Certain coins have their own app or software where you can stake your tokens there.
Like me where I'm holding Cardano tokens, and currently being stored in the wallet that they also made named Daedalus. I believe my tokens are safe there because I have the private keys, and at the same time, earning passive income thru staking.

Where did I get that surname? Thanks for correcting me for that  and my apologies as well

Well, that says it all then. That's why Converge wants him to be their resident import because Coach Aldin Ayo is scouting him for a long time already, and with his debut game just a few days ago, it seems like he didn't disappoint his team.

Unfortunately, they lost yet again on the first round like what happened to them in the past 2 seasons, but like what you said, they are still a young team with lots of improvements. Speaking of improvements, Ahamnisi became an unrestricted free agent, and now he's out on the Converge already. I wonder what if FiberXers will try and get him again, or just let him go and find another players that suits with the team.

I can't find the exact survivability rate of the person with that type of disease, but whatever the case it is, this will be a career ending for him that's for sure.

He's 38 years old already, and with that age, he's a few years away from retiring already and the late Kobe Bryant also retired at age 38 as well. There is a high chance or I think just by looking at his age, and the disease that he got, that he will retire. It's just sad especially for the Ginebra fans to see the floor captain of the team having this type of disease. Curing this disease will take time as well, and I'm hoping that he will recover from cancer. Many fans of him still wants to see him even though he isn't playing anymore.

I said in my previous posts that I might put a bet on the Rocket just because they're playing on their home. A good thing that I didn't try to bet on them because I would've lost my bet.

At last, the losing streak of the Warriors have finally ended with 11 games as the won against the Rockets. I might say I'm not totally impressed because the Rockets currently are the 2nd worst team in terms of defensive ratings. If this happened against a top team on their home then it might be a good thing for the Warriors and the narratives about them losing on the road might change, but these are the Rockets. One of the worst teams currently in terms of win-loss record.

Anyway, the Warriors have still one road game left before going back to their home. They are up against the Mavericks next, and then they will be playing on their home for 4 games straight. In this tight competition, a 4-game home stand for the Warriors might be a big help for them knowing that they're only 2 games behind the 4th seeded Suns.

First of all, I almost didn't want to read your lengthy and wall of words post. A piece of advice for you OP. The thread that you created isn't attractive to read TBH, and I find myself having a hard time reading it because of your post that looks like a wall of texts. It's not that attractive to read. Please use double space the next time you make a post please.

Commission.

This is the reason why most of the people are promoting gambling sites. I've seen many people here in our country gambling using the referral link of some influencer out there. There are some of them who are winning, but most of them lose. In the end, those who lose regretted their decision. Commissions are the main reason why people are promoting these sites. I mean they don't care about what happened to the one who registered under their link as long as they earn money from them. That's how awful it is, but that's how it works.

You can't blame them. I mean we can't do anything about it after all.

I've seen influencers promoting gambling sites, and some ended up as a scam gambling site as well. What happened to the influencers? Nothing. No arrest, no warrant, no apologies whatsoever. They just ignored everything like nothing happened. Like I said, they don't care about people losing. What they only care is the possible money that they can get thru referring that site to newbies.

Betting on a spider fight.

Kind of weird I must say, but that's the only weird and maybe strange bet that I did. Back when I was a kid, there was some elders out here in our place where they will hunt some spiders in the forest. After that, they will meet-up on a particular place where they will put their spiders that they caught into a fight. The winner will spun a web against the loser, and will eat for days. We kids are betting on who will be the winner, and I think it's kind of weird and strange for me because that isn't happening for most parts of the world right? .

Anyway, maybe there's more strange bets that I did in the past, but that's what I remember and I consider it a strange and a weird bet.

They just did. They broke their 11 game road losing streak as they won against the Rockets 121-108.

The bad thing? They broke it against a team who is now eliminated this season. I mean if you're fan of the Warriors like me, you will not be impressed that they won against a bottom seeded team. Well, a win is a win nevertheless, and it's more frustrating if they lose yet again on the road, and against a tanking team like the Rockets.

Splash brothers combine for 59 points with 10/28 shooting from threes. Poole is still inconsistent this season, and he showed it again on this game scoring only 5 points. The one who's stepping up this season is Kuminga. If you're following the Warriors, you know that Kuminga's performance is now better compare to how he performed last season. If Draymond Green will be traded, or if he will not be a starter anymore, I believe Kuminga will be the one who will replace him. I wish he will be an all-star in the next years. . For the Rockets, they didn't play that bad at all as all 5 of their starters scored in double digits as well.

Sa Sabuk Clash, wala akong idea kung ano yun pero as long as merong idadagdag na war content ang Wemade sa laro, magiging maganda ito para sa mga players dahil alam naman natin na heavily driven ang laro sa PVP events. Tungkol naman sa Legendary Magic Stone, ibinalik nila yun dahil sa marami raw nagrerequest na ibalik ung event na yun. Kung DarkSteel ang gagamitin dun (which is ganun naman talaga), hindi na ako magpaparticipate sa event na yun. 30M DS? Pang cracraft ko na lang ng epic gears ko yun.

Tungkol naman kay Jet Fighter, oo quitting na siya. Siguro focus na siya sa kanyang real life. May mga rumors akong nababasa GC namin na bibilhin daw ni VegasRJ yung account niya at ilalagay sa IMENA continent since naghahanap siya ng Lancer. Kung di niyo kilala si VegasRJ, naglaro na rin siya noon ng MIR4 (leader namin siya noon sa server 134 under WERJ alliance). Since nag quit na siya sa Nino Kuni, yun ang rumors na lumalabas pero di pa confirmed.

Lumipat na ng NA yung mga cores ng PHA gaya nila Chibiby at Butcher. Baka sumunod na rin yung mga iba.

Yes, but only on one altcoin and that's Ethereum... and maybe DOGE.

Aside from these 2 altcoins, I don't think I'll invest into other altcoins that have infinite number of supply. On that category, only Ethereum is I think the best altcoin out there to invest your money with. It's proven and has been on the top for a long time already. It has many users and has many projects that has built on it (smart contract platform).

Pocket Network? You're advertising this one right? Good luck I guess, but it's useless.

Well, nobody expected the outcome of that match. Like most of us, many are expecting Canelo to win on that match, but it seems like we underestimated Bivol so much... or we just overestimated Canelo even though he went up one division after unifying the middleweight division.

On that match, Bivol made Canelo like a punching bag indeed. He's very fast for Canelo, his reach are to long for him and he's a good counter puncher as well. I expect that match to be at least not a one-sided match, but... it is what it is. Those who risked, and put their bet on Bivol on that match are the ones who are the winners aside from the 2 boxers of course.

It's because during the bull run, most if not all of the projects goes up whatever it is. A shitcoin, a memecoin, a new project as long as it is a bull market, it will go up. I'm not saying all of the coins are going up during a bull run, but the chances are higher.

Some of the project developers are taking the opportunity to scam people during the bull run by dumping their token because there is a huge chance that it will go up. Some developers don't want to create project during the bear market because there is a chance that the price of it goes down alongside other coins. As for the developers doesn't care about bull and bear market, there are some probably, but most of the new projects are being created during the bull market.

It's a normal thing already in the crypto market that developers are creating new projects during the bull run. Some of them are just creating it to scam people. Some of them are creating because they really wanted to create an one-of-a kind project.

Supply and demand, 4-year cycle, sentiments.

These are the things that I know makes the price of Bitcoin go up. Why Bitcoin will make another all-time high? Because many believe that it will, and it happened many times already. Bitcoin goes up then it goes down again then the year after that, Bitcoin will move kind of sideways, but it's another opportunity for those who didn't bought at the bear market, and then after that, the bull run happens. However, this isn't the case all the time, and maybe we might see a different kind of cycle in the future.

What if Bitcoin's price never comes up? Bitcoin's price will not go up "if" there isn't many people who are using it or in short, there is low volume. As long as there are people around the whole buying and selling it, it will go up, but at the same time, it will go down.

With 10 games left, I wonder where will be the Lakers are after the regular season.

Currently, they are 2 games below .500, and still there are no dates on when Lebron will return and play. Many are expecting that the Lakers are at least on the top 8 just after the trade deadline, but they are hanging on the final spot on the play-in tournament still. The good thing though is that, 6 of the 10 games remaining are against teams that are below .500. The bad thing that I'm seeing is that, there will be a time where they will have a 5 consecutive games on the road, and their record on the road currently is 16-20. Not that bad compare to other teams, but not that impressive as well.

I'm predicting that the Lakers will at least clinch the play-in tournament, and if things will not go well for them, they might end up on the 7th-10th seed for the play-in tournament.

3/3 to your bets. Congratulations. I didn't put any bets for the past few days because I decided to pause temporarily in betting in sports games. I might bet tomorrow or the next day again.

Giannis got a triple double on this game. Him, Lopez and Middleton are the 3 players who scored 20 or more. It's good to see Middleton slowly coming back after having an injury. At the same time, much credit to Lopez on how he is dominating the paint, and scoring 26 points. The twin-towers of Lopez and Giannis is really hard to penetrate for those who want to score in the paint. One of the most balanced team right now are the Bucks, and they're again on the road to be an NBA champion.

Damian Lillard's shooting percentage tonight is just awful. 4/17 FG, 1/8 from three, and if he only didn't have 12 free throw shots, he wouldn't score 21 points. There are also some rumors saying that Portland will shut him down if the Blazers will still play awful on the next 5-6 games. It says there that there's no point in letting him play if they will not enter the playoffs. I don't what the term "shut down" means, but I guess there's a deeper meaning to it than just letting him sit.

Reaves for MVP!!!!

Kidding aside, it's his night scoring 35 points of the bench. He has been one of the most active bench on the team, and whenever he plays, he doesn't let his team disappoint. Davis and Russell didn't play well tonight scoring 15 & 18 points only, but if you have Reaves, and other players who can step up when needed then I guess it is still ok. After all, not all night is a good for night even you're a superstar or a key player. Now the Lakers are in the 10th seeded and again 2 games below .500

Look a bit on the daily chart of Bitcoin. RSI is on the oversold territories, but the MACD is still isn't crossing above the 0 level.

If we will just focus on this week, I think there is a very low chance that the $30,000 will be reached and if it will, it will go below that price immediately like what happened to Bitcoin when it tried to surpass the $25,000 price resistance. Well, it's only the 2nd day of the week, and many things might happen in the next days. Who knows. We might see another bank going down again like what happened a few weeks ago. We might see some more positive news that might make the price of Bitcoin pump this week.

However, if Bitcoin will reach $30,000 this week, I'm pretty sure that it will just touch it for a few hours then go below it again.

Sentiments of the investors towards what's happening right now.
I believe that's what makes the price of Bitcoin going up.

Banks are against crypto. Some banks are now struggling. Banks like Silvergate, SVB, First Republic, and even a well-known bank which is Credit Suisse is having problems right now. I don't know if it's somewhat correlated, but I believe what's happening with the banks right now is a good thing for the Bitcoin investors, thus the sentiments is changing. People are more optimistic thus, people are buying Bitcoin, and that increase it's price.

Markets are heavily driven by emotions and sentiments from investors.

I just watched 2 videos stating the reasons why Davis can beat Garcia and vice versa. Will just share it here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruzT-Cp-9PY - Why Davis will beat Garcia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17j5CEMSq5A - Why Garcia will beat Davis

I mean before I watched the video, like what others are thinking here, I'm also leaning to the fact that Davis will win on this one because of how good he is in the ring. Add also the fact that he's been with Mayweather for a decade so they are kind of the same. Now that I watched both, I find myself on a state where I'm thinking again who will win on this one.

It's hard to pick especially both of them are rising stars. Many are waiting for this match to happen. Since we will not see Beterbiev vs. Bivol this year (probably), this will be a candidate for the fight of the year. So excited as well for this fight.

Don't expect too much on an independent team in the current state of PBA right now. I really miss the times where teams like Coca-Cola, Powerade, Barako Bull and other independent teams are fighting against these giant companies in the playoffs. I mean the excitement and competition is better at that time compare to now.

Unfortunately, we might not that kind of thing again unless there are major changes. Converge on the other hand played really well in their first 3 seasons in the league, but like other independent teams, they are also being eliminated immediately at the first round.

As for Radmanovich as their resident import, this is what I'm saying a few days ago that this might be his debut and his final game this season, but his performance on this game might be a good thing for him for some reason because there might be a chance that other team or the same team will get him when the conference where there is an import comes. Now they wanted him to be their resident import which is a good decision. We've seen Ginebra doing that, and we saw the impact of Brownlee on the Ginebra.
