I was so close to hitting this parlay. Absolutely ridiculous that the Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Toronto Raptors by 3 points. My streak is ended on the second day of the season. Would have been one hell of a hit though. I think the odds were 13:1 or something like that. The Wolves fg% absolutely lost the game for them.

The price increase has been impressive given the market’s size. I’m personally pretty happy at the current levels but was growing concerned when we fell below he previous all time high around $20,000. Hopefully that was just a fluke because of FTX & covid. It would be nice if we saw another bubble in 2025 with a predictable blow off top.

If you believe in the idea of luck or going on runs, then you should also know not to chase losses. When you’re hot you’re hot and when you’re not… I was taught when it comes to investing (and maybe applies to gambling a little bit) to let your winners run long and cut your losers short. Basically, if you’re losing then stop and if you’re winning keep going (although in the end given enough time everyone loses).  

I’m going for an easy (lol) parlay today hoping to cash in on a second multi bet for the second day of the season. Here’s the winners I’m going with.

Celtics over Knicks
Heat over Pistons
Timberwolves over Raptors
Kings over Jazz
Mavericks over Spurs
Clippers over Trailblazers

Would be difficult to hit that many games so early in the season with so much unknown, but those were the picks I felt comfortable making today.

Speaking of the best players in the league. Shams Charania is reporting that the 2024 NBA All Star game will return to the East vs West format. I think this is important for the future of the All Star game if they want to start tying finals incentives like home court advantage to the outcome of the All Star games to up competitiveness.

Even more impressive when you consider the traditional stock market’s performance. We’re finally seeing the divergence we’ve been hoping for. Now to see how long it lasts and if can persist through a recession. So far so good though. All signs point to a bull season right around the corner. Make sure you buy all you want in 2024 because the fomo in 2025 if this continues will be insane.

There are a few things at play here. The catalyst I would say being that the Blackrock ETF listing to customers is basically an admission they know it’s going to be approved so people are buying the rumor to sell the news. Another big factor at play is the season we’re in. Since I’ve been in Bitcoin, the time around Halloween has always been incredibly bullish, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this rally run for a couple weeks.

After receiving his ring last night, DeAndre Jordan showed it off to a reported and detailed some of the hidden features in the ring. While spinning the founding date to the championship date shows gold in a cool way, the real unique feature in my opinion though is being able to slide out a less flashy ring to wear. Check it out in the below link.

This number will continue to rise for many reasons. The biggest two probably being that people tend to lose their private keys resulting in what looks like coins being held by long term investors, and also the rise in exchange traded funds will surely result in coins being taken off the market and held in cold storage on behalf of investors.

With the odds paying out so small for Tyson Fury, it’s hardly worth betting on. I think even with Tyson being the massive favorite and in my opinion will be the winner, betting on Francis Ngannou is a more attractive bet just because there’s at least the chance of a decent payout. This just doesn’t seem like a good event to bet on unless you’re pairing it with another bet.

I always sort of thought that if you’re engaging in behavior that you want to keep a secret then you probably shouldn’t be engaging in that behavior. This is especially true with things like gambling. If it isn’t illegal and it isn’t a problem, why wouldn’t you want to share things you enjoy with the people that you care about? Seems suspect.

I think a lot of reasons are contributing to this. Sure, people are getting married much faster these days and sometimes for reasons like insurance that aren’t exactly love. Then there’s also the establishment that’s pushing a population control narrative trying to convince everyone they’re gay or trans. It’s an uphill battle for regular people these days.

I think the Denver vs Los Angeles game would’ve been a lot better of a game if the refs weren’t seemingly against LeBron. There were quite a few fouls that got overlooked and I’m sure there will be some complaints from the Lakers. I just don’t think the Lakers squad will be that good this year. It might be another will they won’t they make the playoffs sort of year.

1 day into the new basketball season and so far I’ve predicted every game correctly and won my multi bet. Will I be able to keep the parlay streak alive for a second game? Probably not, but I’m here to try. With 12 NBA games scheduled for today, it will be a little more difficult, but for now I’m happy to be at 100% accuracy with my picks.

The next move? Probably down to be honest as profit taking takes hold. However, we are most definitely going to soar above $35,000 in the future and likely the very near future. I think the odds are better than not that we’ll see Bitcoin end the year in the $40,000 range and this recent price action only makes me feel better about that thought.

First half ain’t looking so good for the Lakers. This is especially bad because in Denver opposing teams get tired fast so the Lakers have an uphill battle ahead of them. I think Anthony Davis is looking great on defense and LeBron looks pretty good, the rest of the team doesn’t seem to be playing very smart on offense though.

I decided to toss up a little parlay to get some multi bet excitement going for tonight’s games. I got the Nuggets beating the Lakers and the Suns beating the Warriors. I think KD is going to come out like a man on a mission. Just to spruce things up a little bit more, I added in a Wilder win for this weekend’s boxing match up.

I’m not sure the Suns need Bradley Beal to beat the Warriors. However, I also don’t think the Suns have had enough time playing together to be able to beat a team with as much history playing together as Golden State. I really don’t know which way to bet this one, but I’m leaning towards the Suns. The Denver/LA matchup is another tricky one, but I’m leaning Denver.

There are a lot of people who don’t know why Dwight Howard was all but blackballed from the NBA. His behavior around men in and outside the locker room is the answer. According to his recent lawsuit proceedings, Dwight Howard not only lured a man to his home for sex, but he also surprised him with another man expecting a threesome.

Well, unfortunately I haven’t been able to get AI to flat out predict the winner of sporting events yet. Sure, there’s ways around it with nonsense, but I’d really like to get the AI’s genuine opinion of who the winner of a sporting event will be. I guess this is still a no-no in the world of AI, but I’m certain it’s only a matter of time.
