It's like any other addiction some people understand they are addicted and don't get offended but most people would be. Most will.likely say they just like gambling and not even understand they are addicted. It usually takes someone from outside theor gambling bubble to let them know so if someone is having a really difficult time with their addiction it might help to let them know so that you can also offer advise on where to go to get help.

Miami would be a great place for Dame, they already have Butler and Adebayo, and a lot of shooters with duncan and herro as well. That means we are going to end up with a squad that will be very good for the current era of basketball. They have one big that is very talented both on defense and on rebounding and could scoop up points inside when needed, that is very good, not star on offense and scoring for sure but at least like get the offensive rebound or something or do pick and roll decently and also most importantly lock inside down on defense.
Dame and Butler could take over depending on which one is hot, and they could always pass it outside to some of the three pointers which would help them on the long run without a doubt, like when defense collapses on the same person all the time, they can pass it out.
Yes, that's what I also think about if ever Dame will land in Miami Heat this summer. Although Robinson and Herro might be traded away to cater Dame but that is still a good package for Miami Heat because finally, Jimmy Butler will have his own duo while Bam Adebayo will have the freedom to lock down any players that could be a threat to their rim without thinking more as he knows now that there is Jimmy and Dame outside the perimeter. I just don't see it happening. If the Heat don't get stripped of all its players for Dame then they will likely be a perennial late round team so their firsts aren't worth as much as a bottom end team, and theor players just don't really ring out as players psortland is looking for. Maybe I'm wrong but I can see him with the Bucks. That would be fun to see him and giannis running the floor. |

The Chicago Bulls applied to the NBA management for a $10.2 million 'unusable player exemption' due to Lonzo Ball's injury!
I think Lonzo Ball's career is over. Lonzo Ball will most likely never play in the NBA again.
Honestly we probably ly will see him again. Kid is still only 25, probably won't play this year but we will see him on the court again. Problem is with so many knee issues how effective will he be is the question. With guards requiring an insane amount of lateral agility, knee injuries are typical "productive" career enders. Might end up like d rose amd ride bench and provide insight to the younger fellas on the team. Maybe we'll see Lonzo Ball in the NBA again, but I think it's very unlikely. Because I don't see this self-confidence in this man. I hope he mistakes me and comes back. Well it would be pretty bad for anyone to go through this and being multiple times on that knee he is probably really frustrated. But anyone of these guys that makes it to the NBA now adays has a determination unlike normal individuals. They can literally spend their entire time dedicated to read since that's "their job". He is young enough to not throw in the towell. |

Years ago when information traveled slowly it was a lot easier to find a place to hit a line that hasn't moved. With the availability of that information and automation to a degree on lines that it has been difficult to grab a good line. In terms of beating a book it's doable for savy bettors and a well disciplined one who doesn't chase losses.

This is just another scam coin cash grab utilizing buzz words. There are plenty of "trump" coins already why would this be any different. If anyone is looking at this coin and think they can possibly make money from it you might want to think twice. You will probably just end up getting dumped on and left holding the bag. I'd steer clear.

I can't believe we're only a month away from a cursory preseason teaser, and only six weeks away from unofficial football. To be honest, I haven't missed it. I'm glad that this thread has been largely active all off-season, happy to see you guys are enjoying it. But I just haven't had the heart heart for it.
After the 49ers' last game I began questioning reality. Is this life real, or am I living in matrix-like experimental reality where cruelty is inflicted on test-subjects through chemically induced highs and lows as hallucinations of football and women?
I don't know, I just don't know.
Lol I'm a die hard knicks fan so I can appreciate you questioning of reality 😂. One thing is for sure San Fran is built to compete every year for the near term so enjoy the run. Remember only one team wins it every year amd every other team is in exactly the same position. Nfc is a wild card this year I can't figure out who will be on top. Afc is a little easier as it's top heavy. Can't wait! |

Dame’s path to Miami is starting to look a little cloudy. The Portland Trailblazers have come out now and said that they’re open to hearing from any team in the league about trading Damian Lillard. They initially seemed to be willing to do whatever it took to get Dame where he wanted to go, but when it came time to sign the dotted line their tune started to change.
It's all a pony show. They need to say that so that if Miami really wants Dame they want to ring up the price for him. If they just come out and say we are dealing him to Miami they lose any leverage. Whether or not he lands there is still up for debate based on the package they get back. Portland isn't just gonna give him away for anything. Ya, but there’s also perception around the league. They aren’t going to get fair value back no matter what, but it is a chance to show their loyalty to a longtime player who is viewed as the most loyal in the league. That could be good for free agent signings. How about Desmond Bane getting over 200 million dollars out of the Grizzlies? Gotta be the worst signing so far. In the end Miami doesn't have a lot of pieces I'd be super excited about. I know they are a finals team but it's more about the team being worth more than the individual pieces. I'd do the same thing if I was Portland. And yeah $200 mil for bane might bury them with not being able to move much more around. Chips in the center I guess. He isn't a bad player but I get your point I can't see how some of these guys only getting 70-80 million and bane gets 200. Guess that's home town going all in and hope he gets even better. |

Easy...poker. you don't play the house you play other people and skill exists. Seriously why would you play some poker table game where the odds are stacked up against you instead of playing poker against other people. Strategy is simple.
Play loose against tight players and tight against loose players waiting for a good hand. Lots of other nuances involved but that is a winning strategy right there.

Just another normal day for a useless altcoin. They get manipulated all the time to catch a quick pump. I haven't tracked bcash for awhile funny to hear its stick kicking along. Don't be fooled by it though it will dump just as hard as it pumps. Nothing moves permanently until bitcoin starts moving.

Token or coin burns are the dumbest tactic to try to raise prices. It's an artificial event in order to try to strum up a pump. What's even worse is tokens that build that in from inception. It's a tell tale sign for me that I should steer clear of the project. Luna is toast these are momentary things that can't sustain price.

I think to each theor own on this one you really can't mimmick someone else's habits it might work for them but not for you. In terms of gambling if I ever feel the "need" to gamble I take note and try to stay away. For me if gambling isn't fun then it's time to stop for that specific period. That has served me well through the years.

LaMelo Ball and Tyrese Haliburton both getting five-year max contracts sounds crazy. I think it's a huge gamble for their teams but I hope it pays off for the Hornets and the Pacers hehe. The team's respective head coaches have a big task of keeping these players motivated and disciplined.
Haliburton is going to be one of the best ploint guards in the league over the course of this contract most likely the way things are looking. No way a different team doesn't offer them the max. To keep good young talent you have to pony up. And of course it's a gamble, all of these contracts are. |

Westbrook signing with the Clippers for 2 years and 8 million is nuts. He surely could’ve gotten double that and maybe triple somewhere else. I think he took his stint with the Lakers personally and now he just wants to help the Clippers be the top dog in Los Angeles. With this deal the Clippers should be able to go after another big free agent.
Kind of in the same mindset but what good does he serve on a team like the Pacers that would pay him more. At this point it has to be about winning right? Foe the clips it's a steal because at anytime russ Alcan be russ and well worth way more than a $4mil a year type player. But on the other hand at that age I'm sure he seen how teams dealt with players like Melo, you can get black balled out of the league so if he just wants to play it's a good deal for him too since he doesn't have to worry about that now. |

Looks like the Lakers are on a resigning spree as they have just announced that Austin Reeves has been signed to a 4-year deal for over 50 million dollars. If that’s correct, then I think the Lakers did a pretty good job of keeping the guys they should keep and at low enough contract rates for them to possibly be able to make some moves next year.
Based on what sg will make in 4 years this is probably a steal. What I'm not convinced about is if austin reaves is the guy you want to hang your #2 sg guard on. He had a real good season and broke out. But now that the NBA has tape on him and can key in on him, is he athletic enough to adjust and continue to succeed in this league? I guess this year time will tell. I would have tried for a 2 or 3 year deal before locking him.in long term. |

For the US the restricted age is 21 in a casino. I think the scratch off or instant lottery rules are 18. But every casino or sportsbook I've seen in the US both atlantic city and Las Vegas is 21. Why what's the question or what's the issue? In tons of cases kids under 21 have gotten into those casinos, but it's the quiet ones that go through.

Was delighted surprised and excited to see this thread back up and running! Training camp upon us and fantasy season coming shortly. Listen Kapernick is more a media tool than anything at this point. Dude hasn't played football in years. If Brady was off for that many years and tried to come back people would say the same thing, nah thanks. Colin should just move on and enjoy his time in the league. This is an old story by now.

The supply of illiquid BTC has continued to increase in Q2 2023, showing the opposite relationship to the price. BTC's recent pump to 30k caused a dramatic shift in investor sentiment. Bitcoin's sluggish growth over the last month coupled with legal action against the top exchange, has significantly dampened investors' appetite for trading. When FUD hit the market, most long-term investors started taking coins off exchanges to support self-custody.
With these changes taking place, investors may need to reconsider their strategies, considering the extent to which these factors can affect price movements and their profits. Risk evaluation and portfolio management are becoming increasingly important aspects in this dynamic market condition.
I would hope people would move their coins off exchange regardless of the situation. They are not to be used for cold wallets for people. Time and time again we see that eventually you will end up getting screwd one way or another. If the lawsuit pushed more people to learn how to control theor own coins than great. |

Did you guys see the news for Bruce Brown JR? He just signed with the Indiana Pacers. Gonna be huge mils contract has been in the sign and this is why we usually see a player going off with their former team just after the championship.
Yeah he is cashing in on his run in the playoffs with the Nuggets can't hate on the guy for that. It's a business from the owners side as well as the players side. Pacers got a great player. I think he would have been a great pickup for Miami. Would fit right in as a do whatever it takes kind of player. |
