Lucky, lucky. Congratulations for you.

I only put bets on the final 2 games because of some errands, but fortunately, I won both of the games especially with the Denver-Toronto where I put my bet on the Nuggets twice again (before and during). I just waited for the lead of Raptors to go to double digits and then put my bet when they called a timeout. Good thing they won, and I guess there is a high chance that they'll win because they have the best home teams right now with 30-4. Their last loss on home is against the Thunder last January. Jokic almost got a triple double again with 17-13-9.


Congratulations again for you, and to all winners today.

On their final 17 games, 10 of them will be played on the road.
If they will not do something to at least be better on the road, it will not be a good sign for the Warriors.

On that game against the Lakers, one thing that they can't stop is Anthony Davis, and that's the reason why they lost. I mean how can you let Davis score 39 points with only 3 attempts on the three-point area? That's how awful the defense of the Warriors is. They have Looney yes. They have Green yes, but still they are lacking something defensively.

Expect some adjustments on their next game. They might give Kuminga more minutes like you said. They might give Poole more minutes like you said. With Wiggins still out, it will be a hard time for the Warriors, but I'm hoping he will come back soon or at least on the playoffs.

They are 9-0 since they acquired Josh Hard. Is acquiring Hart boost the morale of the team? What did he bring to the Knicks and why they are on a winning streak since acquiring him?

Kidding aside, Quickley had a good night with his career high 38 points and he played 55 minutes while Randle got 31 points and Barrett also got 29 points. On the other hand, the Celtics had 2 chances to win the game, but Tatum missed on an open close range shot at the end of the first overtime, and Horford's three is just an inch away from going in and win the game. Good game for both teams, but the Knicks are rolling it since acquiring Hart.

He's letting his teammates shoot the ball in preparation for the playoffs. He wasn't willing to shoot the ball because he wants his teammates to be involved in the play and let them shoot. It's obvious that on all of their games, Franklin is the one that's taking the shots most of the time. I don't see it as negative thing, but I see it as teamwork.

Even the commentators are saying negative about what Franklin did. As I'm watching it they said that "as an import, that performance is unaccepted". I mean it's a non-bearing game after all. All the time when there's an import, we've always seen these imports taking most of the shots, and some of the locals aren't having an opportunity to score and shoot the ball.

As for me, I don't think as a negative because overall, it's their performance in the playoffs that matters. Currently they are now at the 7th seed. The last game of Magnolia will decide what will be their final standings.

Wait, wait, wait. Is Bitcoin illegal to your country that's why you're asking this?
I mean aside from the countries where they banned accessing Bitcoin, Bitcoin isn't illegal to most of the countries, so it's legal.

Maybe OP thinks that Bitcoin being legal = Bitcoin is accepted as a legal tender by the government. If that's the case then I'm afraid it will not happen for numerous reasons. I can't answer OP's question because Bitcoin is completely legal in our country and hasn't been illegal since the time I'm using it.

A bit late to see this so Bitcoin is illegal in your country then. Don't expect too much from these politicians. They might be using Blockchain just to increase their chances of them winning. They're putting you into a trap where you believe that they really will do it, but when they win, they will not. Well, it's very unfortunate that Bitcoin is prohibited in your country though.

Is there any psychiatrist here in the forum? Or at least an expert in mental health?
Looks like somebody needs help. Please give some medication to the patient. He might've escape in the facility and after that, posted a thread like this here.

Creating wallet thru 1 click only? I've created my wallet using 10 clicks. Ohhh I forgot it was 20 clicks, or maybe around 5 clicks only.
After spreading some stupid sh*t here, at least prove your claims with evidences. You will say that this is only a "theory" so it might be true or it might be false right? Just thinking this theory alone is considered stupidity already. Bitcoin is decentralized, and not owned by a central authority like the US government.

Well, if they are the ones who owned Bitcoin, why would they not just released the whole 21 Million at the start. After all, they're the owners of it like you said right OP?

I hope his thread will be deleted soon so that no newbies will be misinformed.

One of the easiest things to say when it comes to trading, but one of the most hardest things to apply.

It's easy to say that "I can control my emotions already", but when you see Bitcoin going up and you're late on it, you will buy when it's on the peak already, and when you lost, you will feel angry and feel disappointed on your decisions. It's ok if you will get carried by your emotions on your first time on trading because all or most traders felt that as well when they are starting.

Trading without emotion will take time to learn. It isn't like you just trade once, got profit on that trade and now you can control your emotions already. When I'm starting, emotions got me immediately and just after a week after starting to trade, I lose my funds immediately. I learned from that. It takes time to learn especially when it comes to emotions, but it's worth it.

On the other hand, don't ever think that controlling your emotions is the only thing that you must learn when it comes to trading. There are many things to learn as well like reading the charts, learning to use the indicators etc. etc.

What do you mean when you say "statistics".
Well, I will just disregard that word.

Anybody as long as he can read and write and has willingness to learn what is Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general can invest or trade. This might be a different analogy, but it's almost the same. Just look at those businessmen today. Some of the didn't finish their studies, and yet, they are very successful now. They invested their time learning how to build a business, and now they are millionaires or billionaires now. As for you, you can also learn and gain knowledge and information that will help you in your Bitcoin investment and trading journey. What you just need is courage, willingness to learn, patience, and of course capital.

Investing has no borders. Whether you are a person coming from remote area or you're the poorest in your community. You can still invest as long as you are capable and knowledgeable enough.

I also lost to the Warriors because I thought that they will continue what they started on their home court, but it seems like the road game struggle continues for them. I lost to the Magic as well because I thought that they will on their home against the Blazers, but they stole one on the road. On the other hand, I won against the Knicks, and the good thing is I went all in to them and bet twice at the first half and just before the start of the 1st overtime.

That win against the Celtics on the road without Brunson covered my today's loss and got some profits as well. Randle is a good player, but the problem with him is the shot selection. He often shots very awkward or sometimes he often commit turnovers, but he's a good scorer just because he shoots too many, and I mean too many is that most of the time, it's more than 15 shots per game.

I don't think that they can play like this all the time especially that Adams and Clarke are out.
Clarke is out for the whole season because of the injury and Adams is still on the bench and not playing. I'm not pessimistic towards them, but when they will face those playoff contender teams, they might have a hard time winning on them.

Congratulations to all of the winners.

With this, I remember the story back of the Gold Rush back in the 19th century where people are rushing to mine gold back at that time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_rush
Who are the winners of that event? The miners? Yep, maybe, but the main winners of that one are the ones who sold pickaxes to those miners. No critical thinking involved. I mean they are the suppliers of the main thing that everyone needs to mine Gold.

It's the same thing with this one. The suppliers of the weapons are the main winners aside from the countries that will win because of that war. I don't like wars and so do we, but we can't prevent it especially when a huge countries want to be more dominant and their only way is to conquer other countries.

I just hope that whatever war countries have right now, must end it because of the casualties after the war.

"Everybody Acting Tough When They Up" - Luka .

With regards to Booker, it's his playstyle. Acting tough when they are winning, and for sure, he will talk trash even more with the Mavericks because they have KD on their team. I saw that trash talk of Booker with Luka on the final seconds of the game, and it is unnecessary I think. I mean what's the purpose of that trash talk? To show that they're a better team? Acting tough when in fact, they lose by a huge amount in their Game 7 match-up last season. Overall, I agree with you though that it was a great game, but a bit unfortunate for me because the game happened when I'm asleep (GMT +8 time zone).

Anyway, it's good to see Curry coming back, and play after missing games because of his shoulder injury, but his come back has been spoiled by the Lakers as they won 113-105. The awful record of the Warriors continues as they are now 7-24 on the road. I wonder how this performance of them on the road will affect them when it comes to playoffs. Davis lead the team with 39 points while Vanderbilt had a double-double. Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson lead the team scoring 27 & 22 points.

Nope... or depends I guess.

House always wins and that's a fact. If you want to earn for a living with the help of gambling, be the house. Simple as that. There might be some gamblers who are coming out winning, but those who are winning will come back, use that winnings to gamble again until eventually, they will lose again. I'm not saying that you can't earn from gambling, but to solely rely on gambling winnings? I don't think that's a good idea.

There might be a few who are earning for a living with the help of gambling, but what are the chances of an average joe doing that? Also include the possible amount of money that you need if you really want to earn for a living using gambling.

Meralco won the game against the Phoenix, but they almost lost when they surged, making forced turnovers against Meralco. The good thing is that, the Bolts remained their composure until the end of the game even though McDaniels got fouled out in the 4th quarter. Well, the Bolts already is secured in the playoffs, so it's a non-bearing game for them. Currently, they are now in the 5th spot and might remain on that spot until the playoffs.

What's bad is that, I put a -6.5 spread bet on the Bolts, but the lead is only 6. The FuelMasters tried to foul Newsome in the dying seconds, but the referees didn't whistle thus, he didn't shot free throws that would've cover my bet. It's the referee's fault I lost my bet.

I watched the whole game, and on one interview, Franklin said that he wants to boost the morale of his team that's why he is giving them balls for them to shoot. I mean we've seen Franklin scoring and scoring. He said that now's the time for his teammates to at least shoot the ball and since they are already in the playoffs, I guess there's noting wrong with that way of thinking.

I might think negatively towards the import of Converge if I didn't heard that interview.

Why do we still need to have threads like this? I mean what can we help for your "surprise gift" from your friend?

It has been weeks since the OP has posted this thread. Is there any update with the surprise that he made to his friend? Did he really do it or backed out on the final minute because he saw that 0.03 Bitcoin was too much for him to give. Anyway, I think any give as long as it isn't harmful towards the receiver is always a good thing to do especially to your close friend.

I'm thinking of doing it in the future as well. To whom? I still don't know, but when I see somebody and I know that he/she is involved in crypto or at least has knowledge, I will give some to him/her.

Let's give credits to Harden as well for stepping up his game when needed. He almost got a triple double with this game, and what's good is that they won against the top 1 team in the East after trailing by as much as 18 points in the 3rd quarter.

What's good about the Celtics is that, they have players who can defend against Giannis. Aside from that, they are very quick when it comes to double teams and rotations, and that's what makes them a good defensive team.

Right now, they are at the 5th spot in terms of defensive rating. Still high since there isn't much changes in their roster. Unlike you, I'm, still rooting on the Bucks Vs. Celtics in the Eastern Finals.

Kind of confusing? Maybe for some who are not attentive enough to make a research or not looking at it twice.

I mean even a newbie knows the spelling of Bitcoin right? The project is a different project and that's based on Ethereum blockchain. I don't know why your friend sees Bficoin as Bitcoin? Does your friend having a hard time reading the same word twice? Maybe teach your friend to read the same word twice.

I remember FTX with this one.

Spending huge amounts of money thru advertisements. They also spend some money giving donations to the politicians in the last elections. They even changed American Airlines Arena into FTX Arena. Ending? SBF scammed the users, the advertisers and all that is connected to the exchange.

Yun din naiisip ko na sayang yung mga EXP pero naiisip ko rin "sayang yung mga chests sa TOBD 1F if mag level 121 na ako". May rules kasi dito sa Asia 5 pagdating sa TOBD eh. Dun sa red boss, need mo at least 180K+ PS para makakuha ng 2 na blue chests, 1 red kapag 190k+ PS at 1 yellow kapag 200K+ PS. Bukod pa dun, yung mga resources dun ay nakabase sa PS rin gaya ng mga Ores, Herbs at Energies.

Plan ko kasi manguha muna ng resources sa TOBD 1F bago tumalon sa 2F lalo na yung mga chests sa gilid na nagbibigay ng Tradeable at Non-tradeable Glittering Power at Life Elixir. Malaking tulong yun para sa akin na F2P lang lalo marami nang beses na nakakaexperience ako ng kakulangan sa 2 na items na yan kapag mag crcraft ako ng item or upgrades. Yung EXP mafafarm mo naman din yan eh. AFK ka lang magdamag may EXP kna.

I can't pick any specific altcoins right now because we don't know the future.

We don't know which coin will go up in price a few years from now. Does anybody expect for the price of BNB to shoot up that high after they created Binance Smart Chain? Do we expect FTX to be a fraud exchange until it happened? The point is, those altcoins that you're seeing right now might go up in price in the future, but at the same time, there is a chance that it will not.

The good thing though is that, we have seen the worst already. We've seen markets going down. We've seen crypto coins going down really hard and currently, we are in the phase where accumulation is happening thus, the market is slowly going up. I will not say a specific altcoin to you, but I guess it's safe to say if you will just pick in the top 50 coins in terms of market cap. There is still a risk on it, but lower compare to those new projects out there.

What if they will get Kevin Durant with Lebron James and Giannis? Will they win.
Kidding aside, Rain or Shine alongside TerraFirma and Blackwater are already eliminated for this season. As for NorthPort, I don't know if they still have a chance to get the 8th spot since, Phoenix already beat NorthPort in the eliminations. Even though NorthPort wins on their last game and Phoenix lost on their last game, Phoenix beat NorthPort. Correct me if that's the format they are using still for those experts out there

Anyway, here are the 2 games for today's ballgame:


On first game, I think the Bolts will get this one so I'd rather bet on spread or total rather than the winner. On the 2nd game, I think the odds of Ginebra winning is still attractive at least for me. I will bet on them this time.

Quoted all of those who like me, put their bets on the Bucks just right now, and saying that "We Lose Our Bets".  
Not a good day for me, and to some here as well.

---

Anyway, here are the results of my bets today.
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Washington Wizards @ 2.12 - LOST
- I thought that the Wizards will win back-to-back against the Raptors in their home, but the Raptors got their revenge and won on the road and in overtime. Gary Trent Jr. lead the way with 26 points off the bench followed by Vanvleet with 25 points. Kuzma who has 30+ points in their last game now only has 16 points.

Miami Heat - Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat @ 1.74 - WIN
- I think with all of the bets I put today, this is the only win that I have. Jimmy Butler only has 15 points but has 11 rebounds and has only taken 8 shots. Adebayo and Herro are the ones who lead the team with 30 and 20 points respectively. 5 players are in double digits and for the Hawks, Trae Young has only 8 points with 2/13 shooting.

San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets - San Antonio Spurs @ 1.97 - LOST
- I really don't want to put bet here because they are lower seeded teams, but just for fun I put. Anyway, I lost with this one. 8 players on the Rockets are in double-digits and it just shows that their offense is distributed therefore, it's hard to stop something like that. Good game for the Houston Rockets on the road.

Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks @ 1.54 - LOST
- The Sixers trailed as many as 18 points, but manage to make a huge run on the 4th quarter, and snapped the 16-game winning streak of the Bucks. Harden played like the prime Harden that we used to see on the Rockets. He is 1 rebound away from having a triple-double having 38 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists. Him, Maxey and Embiid scored 95 of the total 130 points of the team. Embiid's three point in the final seconds of the game is very crucial and because of that, they got the lead and eventually the win.

1/4 today. How are everybody now? What are the result of their bets?

I want to feel sorry and feel unfortunate for the victim, but when I saw this one and read it, I guess he really deserves that.
I mean we have many crypto influencers already all around the world, but we aren't hearing these kind of crimes happening to them. I believe there's a reason behind this incident, and it seems like there really is.

Nowadays, whether it's cryptocurrency or fiat money in general, if you have huge amount of cash, and you posted it in public, there's a chance that you will be the next target of robbers or thieves, so the best thing that we can do is to just keep it in private as much as possible, and don't ever ever share the amount of holdings that we have.
