1361  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you love and enjoy taking risk? on: April 28, 2023, 09:10:02 PM
Some months a go, I was thinking altcoins may favour me since bitcoin is still unpredictable. I decided to invest my last cash at hand on luno, Eth, buying babe doggy, peg token and tron. I don't really understand how this things works when I bought it was all gloomy without bitcoin but in less than a week my money dried up.

What future do we really hope for altcoins without bitcoin?

Ypu lost your money because you put your money into horse garbage.  I find it crazy people pass up bitcoin because they think the money has already been made and then throw theor money into things called baby doge lol.  I mean you might as well flush it down the toilet so you don't have to watch it slowly go away.  Alts will be fine but you have to find good projects.

Only the Kings-Warriors and Lakers-Grizz games left as far as I am aware. That is going to be a tough one, most people think Warriors and Lakers will win, but lets remember that the yare the lower seed in these matchups, even though they "may" look like favorites, we had a whole season that proved that they are not. Lakers made some trades so they might be better, and they made a good player out of Reaves that helps decently as well, but Warriors didn't had any changes, they are the same. I think if one of them fails to win, that wouldn't be such a shock, it might actually happen. I know that it is taking a while but it is definitely a good job if we could see them both win it as well, that will be a great success, both lower seeds beating higher seeds at the same time.

I think Memphis runs the table.  If they win in LA it's a wrap.  I think they will lean on theor guard play and because they play well in the paint they have a better shot than a team that relays on 3s all game.  I grabbed the line for them to win this series when they were down 3-1.  If they can snag this one I'm gonna lean hard into that game.

Anyone heard this news? What's your take on this? It's this the beginning of the downfall of the NFT market or can we say that it will still survived till the next bull run?

Quote
OpenSea, one of the largest NFT marketplaces, has been hit particularly hard, with its valuation now facing a significant cut by one of its most prominent investors, Tiger Global. According to a recent report by The Information, Tiger Global, a $13 billion tech-focused venture fund, recently disclosed that its equity in OpenSea has dropped from $126.8 million to $30.2 million, representing a 76% drawdown. The firm became one of the largest investors in OpenSea when the NFT platform raised $300 million during a Series C round earlier last year.

https://zycrypto.com/key-opensea-investor-cuts-platforms-valuation-by-75-as-global-nft-sales-plummet/

For me though, I'm not surprised, we are still the bear market, although it seems that majority of the coins are bouncing back, I still one big reason for the sudden downfall of the NFT market is the obvious bearish trend.

And that's how the market works as we all know it, sooner or later the hype will die down a bit, like the P2E model. So we will see if NFT can live or continue to exists till the next bull run. It will be the ultimate test for this market, in my opinion.

I expect the value to drop even more.  I don't see the bubble of nfts being able to survive.  Crypto is one thing but things got a bit out of control in terms with pricing.  I think there's a future for nfts and opensea is a great platform for them but it might have been one of them bubbles that will take awhile to take hold.

Judging the Celtics performance against the Hawks, they weren't that impressive to me and because of that, I think that a healthy Sixers can eliminate them.

The 76ers will be the underdog in their matchup, and that's a good point of view because the 76ers' defense was really impressive in the first round. It's the offensive team versus the defensive team, and normally, the defensive team will win (except for the Warriors), so let's see.

According to the series betting odds, the Celtics are heavy favorites to win the series:

Celtics 1.32
76ers 3.45

The series handicap is -1.5 for the Celtics.

That's pretty good value on the sixers.  Not really getting anything by betting the Celtics too much.

In the Knicks series I like the Knicks here.  Not just because I'm a fan but because they are tight odds and with home court I just think there is value there.

Playoffs heating up looking at the gs and sac game and can't figure which way I'm gonna lean.  Thinking golden state but 7.5 might be too much.

Boston finally managed to finish this round, but we can say that they played two more games. Had they been more concentrated, they could have swept Atlanta. The extension of the series to the 6th match only caused them to play another tiring match. The Sixers, who will now be their opponent, have been resting for a long time. This series is going to be very competitive.
As long as Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum play well like this, Boston will be one of the strongest contenders. When they keep their turnover low and their three-point percentage high, they are very unlikely to lose.

It's definitely going to be an interesting series.  I can't make heads or tails which way it will go.  2 completely different teams.  I see cracks in the Celtics and am leaning towards the sixers here.  My gut really wants Celtics just in case the Knicks sneak past Miami.  I'd love to see another Celtics knicks series and knicks can never stop embid.  He gives them fits.

I'm going completely against the grain tonight.  Taking all the toad dogs.

Atlanta +13 lol.  Why not.

Clippers -12.5. Russ masterclass incoming lol.

Timberwolves ML.  Seriously...

This might completely blow up in my face but have we ever had a 3 game playoff night with all the games being 20 point blowouts?  Against the wall someone has to show up right?  Right?.  Will probably regret this but hey how maybe not Smiley

Enjoy the games people!

Good luck, man! You already have one win with Atlanta +13. You should have gone with the moneyline.

Regarding the Wolves, they have a decent chance since they are currently leading the game. It looks like the Nuggets are struggling to close this game, but let's see; the game is not over yet.

As for the Clippers -12.5, that's too ambitious. What are the betting odds for that one?

It was actually plus +12.5 spread last night.

Tonight got my picks in.

Laying hard on the Knicks +5.5
Taking the heat +12.  Think it's a trap bet but gotta ride the hot ticket.
Laying hard on Memphis -4.  Home cooking.
And taking golden state ML.  Was tough to bet on them but fox with a fractured figer on his shooting hand is going to be tough to overcome.

Enjoy the Knicks.  Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! 😀

4 for 4 I only wish I took the heat money line dam HIMmy Butler is playoff good.  The way that series was played I think I'd rather see the Bucks against my knicks but here we go!  Hitting the under on every one of these games hard.  This is going to be a drag out 80s/90s type of basketball games in this series.  Hope it goes the distance. 

Yahoo nice hit on your parlay.

This will be a great series. The Heat might still be the underdog, but only slightly. I'm rooting for them to win because they beat the number one team, so there's no reason they can't beat the NYK.

I'm waiting for the betting odds to come out. My initial guess is that they will be very attractive for the Heat. Hopefully, that will come true.

Too bad we see these two current great teams in the East matching up against each other in the second rounds of the playoffs, I really prefer to see them at the Eastern Conference finals because they are really doing amazing things with their play knocking out the higher ranks teams, I think you rarely see these scenarios in the playoffs but as we can see right now, there is always a chance for the number 8th seed and it happens right in front of our eyes. let's just hope no one will get injured for this is a great match-up here and I think the Heat is more likely the favorite team to win this series.

Knicks are favored in the series.  Home court advantage but it's pretty close.  For any old heads this is an old rivalry from the late 90s.  They met in the 97, 98, and 99 series with all of the series going down to the final game.  And who can forget van gundy throwing himself on Alonzos leg during the brawl.  This is gonna be a tough nosed hard fought series.  I expect this one to go the length.  Go knicks!

Looking like the Boston Celtics are going to be sending the Atlanta Hawks fishing tonight. They’re up by more than 10 in the third now and Atlanta seems to be accepting their fate. First game of elimination night looks like we may have our first elimination. Next up will be the Nuggets trying to put away the Timberwolves for the season.

I was expecting the same thing because out of the 3 games that happened earlier, I got the Boston Celtics on my sure list to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks and proceed into the 2nd round where they will wait and face the winner of Bucks vs Miami up next. But what happened was really unexpected, Tatum didn't contribute that much compared to his usual digits every night but at least Brown took the helm but even that didn't stopped the Hawks from winning the game.

Ice Trae did it again, I know it's not yet a guarantee but by the looks of it, including the situation of Milwaukee Bucks, we might be seeing the underdogs who played in the recent play-in tournament confronting each other in the East semis.

If the Celtics win they will be playing Philly.  As a knick fan I cringe at seeing Trae do this but it's like a car wreck and can't look away.  Dude is so fun to watch with the game on the line.  You know he is shooting it and you can't stop him.  I can't believe Boston didn't double him right at half court.  I'd give an open shot to anyone on the team than Trae guarded.  Pressure is gonna build on Boston.

Yeah, it seems like that way, Celtics is leading 10 already in the 3rd quarter and it looks like the Hawks are going to fade in this series, so 4-1 for the Celtics.

Gonna be interesting game though between the Suns and the Clippers. Although LA doesn't have their 2 best players, Phoenix shouldn't underestimate them in this game. Booker should put this one away and we need another great performance from him to also end the series.

This is the NBA!! Hawks up one with 10 seconds to go.  You gotta watch the games cause you never know which ones will get ya.  Imagine atlanta wins and goes back to Atlanta for game 6.  I need to see at least one game 7.  I'm rooting foe the Hawks here even as a knicks fan.  This 4th quarter has been amazing.

Trae Young yoooooo.  Dude is 🥶.   Dude is unbelievable.  So clutch

This could end up being an incredibly boring night.  I predict one of these teams comes out and straight wins on the road as dogs.  I'm hoping at least.  Otherwise going to be some lean nights with no games.  I'd like to see one of these series go longer than 5 games.  Been some good games but terrible series.  All blowout series.

Nuggets will surely have a sweep
They didn't. They lost yesterday.
and I am expecting Lakers to get 3-1 ahead as well.
This will be a task that needs hard work. We saw how Ja Morant can easily find his rhythm in the last 5 minutes of the game when he created his own 19 points consecutive run all by himself.
Anthony must play consistently which means the same as Games 1 and 3. 20+ points and 15+ rebounds. The defense should also be like Game 3 where he protected the rim a lot of times from those who would try to attack the paint. Another key to winning the game is to not let Desmond Bane create havoc early because that guy can get hot as fast as he could. Whoever is defending him last time must keep it up. Vanderbilt or Reaves.

Giannis is playing guys.
Quote
ESPN Sources: Milwaukee star Giannis Antekounmpo (lower back) is set to return to the lineup vs. Miami in Game 4 tonight. He warmed up on the court pregame  and feels ready to return after missing Games 2 and 3.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1650621393124327426?s=20
Miami Heat versus Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-6.5)
With Giannis around they can go back to spreading the floor more and wait for the kick out pass that will be received from Giannis. And him being back on the lineup might surprise the Miami Heat so I will take the Bucks now.

Los Angeles Lakers versus Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) I have not seen them play that hard in the season and that Game 3 game showed there is still room for them to be a better team. Preventing the Grizzlies to score just 9 points in the first quarter was really amazing.

I feel like I'm beating the same thing over but the Lakers should have put the choke hold on them.  Tonight the game won't start as bad as it did for the Grizzlies as the other day.  I'm expecting a good game but a new sense of urgency from Memphis.  If they win tonight they have home court advantage in what effectively will be a best of 3 series.
1375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Next bull market comes in June on: April 24, 2023, 07:10:24 PM

Here is my bold assumption. As the recent cryptocurrency prices continue to drop dramatically, the whole market needs a big time and force to embrace a new bullish period. As the US strengthens more regulations, more money is looking for a new place to flow into. Recently, Hong Kong held the Web3 festival to show their determination to build a crypto hub in Asia. The new rules and favorable policies on crypto will be implemented in this June. I firmly believe that as long as the new window opens, endless hot money from China mainland and all over the world will be flooding into the crypto market in Hong Kong. All cryptocurrencies will see a bull run for a while. By the way, our project FireDAO is in progress and please feel free to contact me should you have any inquiries.

Think we got a ways to go until we see any real bull run come together.  There might be coue week spikes but nothing sustainable.  Singular events like that never really trigger a bull run anymore.  There is just too much money in crypto for these singular events to move something.  My guess is we go sideways into the next btc halving and sometime in 2025 if the worldwide economy picks back up, so will crypto.  We need institutional money at this point to move things.  Significantly.

The knicks are slowly dismantling what some people called a team that could go to the finals.  Cabs have looked completely lost trying to guard jalen brunson.  Okoro has had some luck but then the Knicks just roll to another set and go p-n-roll.  Thibs has coached a hell of a series given he isn't getting g anything out of quickly or grimes on the offensive end.  And Randall has had a terrible series. 
1377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 24, 2023, 07:03:26 PM
Hit with the Knicks and the under yesterday but dropped the next 2 games.  Even Steven on the day.

Today I got Miami at home +7.5. I know giannis, but that's a lot of points on the road.

And I like Memphis to tie this one back up.  Taking Memphis and the ML.

Also took 2 prop bets.:

AD over 0.5 three pointers made
Lebron under 2.5  three pointers made.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Another day long set of games.  1st off is my NY KNICKS!  got my bets in for the day

Knicks -2.5, knicks gonna go up 3-1 (hopefully).  I just can't see cavs winning in the garden, they shrank in Friday nights game.

Same game under 207.  This is like a 80s/90s type series.  Low scoring lots of defense.  I like the under.

Golden state -7.5. Just going to be tough to beat the reining Champs at home.

And last I like the Hawks +6.5.  Getting a bunch of points at home I can't lay off this one.

Not touching the late denver/wolves game.  Either way seems like a trap betting game.  Just gonna sit back and enjoy that one.

Good luck everyone....GO KNICKS!!!!

Currently, the Knicks vs Cavaliers is already playing and they are on halftime break while the Knicks got 9 points lead before the 3rd quarter will start.

Right now, I've got the Cavs ML @ 3.66 on live.

This will be interesting enough because just like their two recent games, it's been a close match-up and the Cavs will likely bounce back this time too. Garland might do something in this game because in Game 3, he scored awfully law as they failed to grab the lead in the series.

Boom 2 for 2 out of the gate today.  This series is an easy bet on the under either way.  Knicks looked great today on defense.  The problem I see is Randle has looked like garbage all series.  Thibs might need to play obi toppin more.  He is more active and more engaged at this point.  I've defended julius all year long but there is no denying he looks lost out there right now under the bright lights.

Dillon Brooks called for the Flagrant Foul 2 and was ejected from the game. The same as what James Harden did back at Brooklyn where he hit the balls of the defender, this time Brooks hit Lebron's important eggs too.  Grin Well, that's a good way to stop him from making 40 points in a game but in exchange for him being thrown out and not helping his teammates.
Ja Morant exploded in the 4th quarter but not enough to bring them back closer to tying or winning the game.

Lakers won!
Lebron James had 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. But the most effective player was Austin Reaves, he definitely played like it was a championship game hustling in both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. 13/6/2 It cannot be seen on paper but he did great today.

Yeah, we've seen the Austin Reaves is really a good catch for the Lakers this season. And almost all of there new players are contributing in this series against Memphis. Beasley though, seems to be off again although he has just been given a few minutes to play in this series.

AD another double double, he make it tonight for game 2 lackluster performance.

And I really like how Lebron takes the tempo in the 4th when they still have that lead and not allow Ja Morant to take over the game. Although Ja exploded with 45 points.

The key to this series is AD.  Lebron posting a +/- of -16, when AD has shown up they've one.  They will win or lose based on AD not anyone else.  Definately a wierd series, and what a brutal shooting start last night for Memphis.  Surprised they kept trying to jack up 3s.  They dominate paint scoring and they avoided the paint.  And when they did they couldn't hit layups.  Memphis needs to win game 4 or it might be a wrap.
