341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: May 20, 2024, 06:30:49 AM

Ryan is too popular to be ignored in the boxing industry. If banned he will just join the exhibitions being matched everywhere by the celebrities today. I think Ryan will be a good match with Jake. They are friends but I think people will still watch them. Or he fights against Sean Omalley.

Even if Haney will be successful in bring Ryan down in the industry and nullified his loss, its not something that will be erased on the internet.

The world will not stop for him because he can always use his popularity to have an exhibition fight, for sure he can still attract crowd and ensure himself a good payday. Maybe in the future since Ryan is already one of the popular celebrity, he can joined the acting job like Connor which has already been seen in  movies.  But let's just focus on the current situation, those are just my futuristic view about a possible job he could do to continue his cash stream.

So if he will be proved to have used a ban substance in boxing, what would be his punishment? I read the news and rumors but didn't follow it carefully so I woudl be interested to know from anyone here who keeps following the progress of this issue.

I was part of the campaign during the early stages, so I would like to post a message here to congratulate BestChange for running a successful campaign. It wasn't easy in the beginning, as there were some doubters, but you did an impressive job proving your company is legitimate. In fact, some of those who doubted have since worked with your company.

BestChange is now an established company, and everyone knows it, as you have been running the campaign for over four years. Good luck with your future plans, and may the business continue to prosper.

I'm right with my vote, Mavs vs Wolves in the WCF. Anyway, incredible series between the Nuggets and Wolves. By far the best series in these playoffs. Both Murray and Jokic scored more than 30 points, but their four teammates only contributed a total of 21 points. I thought the Nuggets could still come back and the Wolves were in foul trouble, but that follow-up dunk by KAT solidified their win. Also, kudos to Reid for the good defense in the fourth quarter. Mavs vs Wolves will also be a good matchup, but nah, Celtics vs Wolves it is.
Nuggets unable to play good defense in the 2nd half, they had the momentum already and I can't believe they allowed the Wolves to come back and beat them. Well, I guess Jokic vs Luka two friends are not really destine to face each other in the WCF, we now have the Dallas and Wolves.

The streak continues, now its 6 NBA season where NBA champions have not advance in the WCF.

By the way, about the Knicks vs Pacers game, it's also the road game that win the game, and I heard this from one of the commentators.

"best shooting percentage in the NBA playoff history"

That's because the Pacers shoot 67.1%

In everything there is always a beginner, in political way there are beginner even in the crypto world 🌍 we still have a beginner, so as a beginners in crypto you should know how it works first before you get into it, there was a guy complaining that he lost in trading crypto, and he is telling some of he's friend not to go into crypto just because he lost and he didn't follow the signal, I just want to say that you need to understand how it works first before you start, thank you.
In trading, you need to experience losing before you gain and win a trade. It's not as fancy as people hear about from the stories of success in trading. Do not assume that just it had worked for them, it will work to you asap. It doesn't have to be like that because it takes time for one to learn trading. And if you're that type of following signals and completely reliant on it, you're trading the wrong way. Many of these signals have been proven and made to just take and milk your money.
There’s always losses prior to success, not only in trading alone but even in different endeavors. Most especially if you rush into trading without taking your time even learning the basics, you will end up with consistent losses at first so you will learn some lessons and improve your trading performance.

While trading can hit huge rewards if you are doing it correctly, but it will also make you lose your funds instantly in just a blink of an eye. This is why we should always trade with caution, most especially for those who are still starting to learn the process. Trading signals are not reliable, so learn not to depend on it.
345  Other / Off-topic / Re: Floyd Mayweather detained in Dubai due to gambling debts? on: May 19, 2024, 12:30:45 PM
According to various posts on the internet, he has a net worth of at least $400 million, so being unable to pay $100 million seems strange. If the news is true, he just needs to sell some of his mansions and other assets, so it shouldn't be a big problem. FYI, he earned $300 million fighting McGregor in 2018 and more than $1 billion in his entire career.

Regarding gambling in Saudi Arabia, perhaps he played with oil kingpins. Since he is a U.S. citizen, there's little chance of him getting punished.

That's a lot of money but he gambles on his will so he need to pay that amount. With his net worth, that's  25% less, that would hurt. Probably Floyd came not bringing huge money as he is expecting to win, and in the middle of gambling things got heated on him and bet a huge amount, as a result he owed $100 million, that's just my speculation though, but regardless, if this news is really true, then he needs to pay as he is capable of paying.
346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never borrow money to be able to gamble on: May 19, 2024, 11:44:36 AM
If you see gambling as a business opportunity, why not? Sometimes I do borrow money when I see a game that I believe I could won, but I always limit on how much I would only borrow, and I have to make sure that I'll be able to pay it from my income just incase my bet would be wrong.

This may look like an irresponsible action, but like I mentioned, when i see it as an opportunity, I don't hesitate borrowing, and I think there's nothing wrong with that as long as you know how to pay your debt.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK 18th MAY 2024 re-scheduled on: May 19, 2024, 09:04:17 AM
First thing I would like to say, that Usyk won that fight fair. There were no judges help, there were no political help. A true undisputed champion. I dont remember anyone holding all the belts recently. One thing I dont understand that why it is a win by split decision, but not a majority decision. I believe that maximum what Fury achieved was a draw. If there were no standing knockdown, then it might be a chance that one judge would be in Fury favor.
Yes he couldn't make it if Fury was more careful and didn't allow that shot that hurt him and made him go knock down. That was a great fight in overall but Fury IMO deserve a rematch here. Take that knock down and Fury could have won the fight easily. Anyway, that happened and we have to respect the result, what I like about Fury is that he respected the result, he is a good sport unlike other boxers who claimed they won after not declaring them the winner.

Heartbreaking defeat by the young OKC team. And once again Luka is the key to Dallas. Luka once again was shooting over 50% and it spells disaster to OKC. Luka was on triple double and once again he is back to the western conference finals after failing to reach the playoffs last season with Kyrie joining the team.
OKC almost look sure to have win it as they were able to lead by 15 points or more, but Dallas cameback slowly and in the 4th quarter they have a run that they were able to take the lead. PJ washington wasn't shooting well but his timing was very timely, from the 3 point shots that he made and that failed 3 point shot but he was able to get fouled, and this guy is very clutch as he didnt miss a free throw and played well the last shot by intentionally not shooting the ball.

Yeah, Dallas my team, welcome back to the WCF.


Dallas followed Boston on the teams awaiting for their opponents in the conference finals. Tomorrow will the decision maker as New York will host Indiana while defending champion Denver hosts Minnesota.

2 games tomorrow which is very unpredictable, however, I'd choose the home teams especially for the Knicks if Hart is playing.

TRADERS are not UNEMPLOYED
Crypto trading and unemployment are two different problems, where someone is an expert and understands crypto trading, of course this activity can become a job that makes him a lot of money every day, that's for sure, but it applies to those who are experts in that field/trade.

On the other hand, for those who do not understand trading at all, they only know, they have never studied, they immediately want to trade, If that happens, I'm sure that trading could result in unemployment and disaster for him, the understanding of these two factors depends on how they do it.
Being unemployed means you don’t have any sources that provide you an income, thus you might be only doing things but are not profitable on your part. However, if you are employed, means you are working on a certain job that pays once you’re done, or you end up profiting out from doing the task successfully. Trading could only be a passion that is not making profits or it turns into a job that is giving you consistent income. It depends on how a trader is performing it.

Pacers 116 - 103 New York Knicks
~

Based on the quarter results of this game, the Pacers and Knicks performed about the same except for the second quarter performance. In this quarter, the Knicks clearly performed weakly because of the low field goal percentage, which most likely was the reason for their loss in this game. Anyway, I think Game 7 will be interesting, and if Brunson turns on the berserk mode, the Knicks can probably win this series.

Brunson always steps up his game, but he cannot carry his team alone. They have already missed some key players, and now it looks like Hart is not even certain if he'll play in Game 7. Slowly, the Knicks are going down as they continue losing players due to injury, but if Hart comes back in Game 7, even without OG, I think they are capable of beating the Pacers, as they did in Game 5.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 18, 2024, 01:28:24 PM
Good news for boxing. Jermall Charlo was already stripped of his WBC belt a few days ago. Interim champ Carlos Adames is now the new WBC champion. Maybe it is time for these champion to face each other again so we'll have a new undisputed champ in this division. But I doubt PBC allows Lara and Adames to face Top Rank's unified WBO and IBF champ Janibek Alimkhanuly.

Last weekend, we saw the great Lomachenko became champion again by methodically breaking down ex unified champion George Kambosos. I want to see Loma retiring. He has nothing to prove in this division and I highly doubt he unifies all the belts as he is already running out of time.

Maybe if he losses this fight against Kambosos, he might be thinking of retiring. But him winning in this kind of fashion, dominating the fight and showing that he still has that technique that he is famous for, I don't see Lomachenko of seriously considering retiring after this big win.

And as what we expect, either Davis or Shakur will be good for him. It's going to be a acid test for either this young fighter to face one of the best at 135 lbs and Lomachenko still commands respect at this division and so both fighters would like to test themselves against the great Lomachenko and it's good to have his name in their resume. Lomachenko might not be the cash cow, but he is still the gold standard as far as lightweight division goes.

In that fight, it was Kambosos who would probably retire. Some are suggesting that Loma should  retire now while he is still ahead because he is getting older already and might suffer a loss against a younger champion. But for me, I like to see him challenge Tank Davis or accept a challenge just for us to know if Tank Davis could really beat a technical fighter like Loma.

What we are reading now is probably just rumors but this is close to reality as they are on the same division, and fans would always want to see a unification fight of both champions, so PPV revenue is already guaranteed.
352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto as job salary - Yay or Nay? on: May 18, 2024, 01:11:50 PM
Let's say you have a job that gives you the option to have your salary paid in BTC, ETC, or any other cryptocurrency, would you prefer that or would you rather still be paid in fiat? If you'd prefer crypto payment, which currency would you choose and why?

This would be your hard-earned money that can either grow on its own or shrink in value within a small time.
Well, it’s a case to case basis. If it pertains to my main job, I would always chose fiat to be my form of salary and just buy bitcoin whenever I have spare money ready to invest. However, if it pertains to one of my side jobs, I think receiving bitcoin as a salary would be a great opportunity for me to store maximum amount of bitcoin and hold them for indefinite years, regardless of how volatile its value is.

If you look carefully at people's profiles, you will most likely understand that there are a lot of people on the forum who came to the forum themselves, learned about the rules themselves, and made a name for themselves.
So what unusual things are you telling us today? You are not alone in your endeavors. Maybe we should pat you on the shoulder and call you a “smart boy”? You should be more humble in your successes and more determined in seeking knowledge and then teaching more people like you. If you don’t like your friend’s behavior, then be different, gain knowledge, teach, and help without betraying them.
Everyone who enter in the forum should be responsible to do their part all by themselves. It’s not just like someone is obliged to help you all throughout the learning process, you should do your own diligence to learn. Otherwise, you won’t be able to prove your value in the forum, and won’t earn the trust and recognition simply because your existence does not make any essence to other members.

Now with regards to the attitude of your friend, I guess that’s just his own way of helping you to learn on your own without relying to other people. But if someone will ask you help in the future, don’t be rude but help him educate himself until he can finally stand on his own feet.

-When is it the right time to invest in bitcon?
-How can one start planning?
-How do you follow up your bitcoin investment and other businesses?
-What are the assurance that you are ready?

Before continuing with investment actions in Bitcoin, knowing more details about the storage wallet must be a priority. The Bitcoin wallet is the most sacred place in investing in Bitcoin because assets can be lost if you ignore knowledge about the wallet.
When knowledge about storage wallets is well and correctly understood, then learning to know about Bitcoin investment and all these questions can be done over time as long as you have the time to do it.

Generally, the answer we often hear is buy when prices are low and sell when prices are high.
For me, long-term Bitcoin investment can be recommended. Investments in Bitcoin can be done regularly using the DCA method.
For me, everyday is a good buy with bitcoin, knowing your goal is to invest for long term. Don’t complicate things, just focus on your goal. Don’t be too much obsessed with price dips and correction, even if you missed them, what’s more important is that you never fail to invest and follow it with DCA. They say price dips and  price corrections are the best opportunities to invest in bitcoin, but in reality, bitcoin’s opportunities are limitless, so feel free to invest regardless of the price, but be mindful when to sell your coins so you can make it massive with bitcoin.
355  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lack of capital or knowledge, which one is holding traders back from profits? on: May 17, 2024, 09:21:49 PM
What can you say about this two problems, how will you advice a trader that is suffering from any of this problems or how did you get out of the problem if you had suffered from having lack of capital or lack of knowledge. Which of this problem is more common among traders?.

We always have a solution when we want to try to achieve a better life, but sometimes we are too lazy to try harder to get it.
In terms of trading, both of them do have quite an important role, where money is the first step to reach the stage of being able to make a profit, but without good trading knowledge, money is also unable to provide profits in trading because people don't know how to do it.

Lack of capital can be increased over time and if our trading knowledge is good then it will provide a way to start trading consistently.
Although sometimes trading does not always produce profits, if the trading knowledge we have is good then people can trade with small capital and continue to increase it consistently.
Right, both are crucial in trading but I really think it all boils down to lack of knowledge from the start. If you don’t have sufficient amount of knowledge, you won’t have insights on how to enhance your skills and develop your strategies which I think the most vital in trading.

Money can always be seen but it will never guarantee a successful trading outcome, but if you have even the basic knowledge and skills in trading, you know for sure that you are doing the right thing in trading which may lead to achieve profits.

I could never loss that big but I could be bankcrupt if I let myself addicted in gambling. just to bad for him, he was smart enough to become successful in his business but too fool to fall on the trap of gambling addiction. if he is really good in business, he can climb from being drown and be successful again, but I wonder how that experience in his life would affect his thinking, some people might have result to committing suicide, I hope he'll stay strong.

This may not happen to us but we can always learn from that news, as long as we are gambling, we are all at risk of getting addicted, but knowing the consequences of addiction will help us minimize the risk of getting into that low life level.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tank Davis Vs Frank Martin WBA Lightweight Title June 22 HoustonTexas on: May 17, 2024, 07:29:49 AM
He won’t lose support regardless of how much of a fraud his career is, but I also don’t see him becoming more of a mainstream attraction.

He had his biggest paycheck when he fought Ryan, so he need to choose his opponent, someone who is popular so he'll benefit from that. And there's been a lot of fighters that are interested in him, I guess he'll choose his fight carefully but not to the point that he'll cherry pick to get an easy win. After the Ryan fight, I expect him to carry that momentum for another big one, but turns out he ended up protect his belt.

Anyway, I think Martin is also a good opponent,  though lack of experience but this could be a good test for Davis before getting into the big one.

As per rumor, we have the names of Lomachenko and Stevenson being link to Davis for a possible unification fight, hopefully will happen.

If those failures will only scare the newbies and won’t make them motivated in the process, then I don’t think they’re still needed to be emphasized or mention in the post. That will only make them lost interest rather than to challenge them and get motivated to finally go out from their comfort zone and take the risk in order to gain future profits.
359  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dropping Bitcoin price could significant rewards for investors in future. on: May 16, 2024, 02:34:33 PM
Those who are doing DCA are the real winners because no matter what they keep accumulating Bitcoin and during bull run or major pump they would be in profit and even during the bear run they won't be in loss as they purchase BTC on literally every price.

Most people do say dip is a great opportunity but once the market dips we see people panicking and selling off and they don't buy during dip except for tenured veterans.
Bitcoin price dips brings out the best opportunity in bitcoin, but I don’t think newbies are aware of it since we all know when bitcoin price reaches another peak, a lot of newbies rush into buying bitcoin believing that the price would reach another heights. Little did they know that bitcoin price is very unpredictable and it won’t follow a  certain path. One day it moves up, the other day it drops low. And they will only realize this once they are already at loss.
360  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dips are temporary but Bitcoin is forever. on: May 13, 2024, 04:49:02 PM
Buy Bitcoin before the DIP, buy during the DIP, and buy after the DIP. Bitcoins isn't going anywhere anytime soon but most DIPs will be long gone and long gone for good. There are so many DIP price you can't buy Bitcoin at but you will always have those Bitcoin you bought during the DIP at an higher worth in the future, cease every opportunity of buying during the DIP, buy as much as you can at the moment cause DIPs are temporary but Bitcoin stays forever.
Well might as well do some dca cause its kinda hard to know its dip as bitcoin continously improve its market stance overtime. Their product stays as it is and everyone can acess it so the innovation of bitcoin will be forever there unless a new one came with a super used on everyone. The market valuation depends on people and it really a chaotic one when some whales are playing with it through out the time.
Yes, it’s really hard to predict accurately when are we going to see dips in the market, and even if it’s currently happening, still there’s no assurance that it’s already the dips. That’s why others resort into waiting for more dips in the market hoping to witness the deepest dip. And yet they end up missing the opportunity to invest then.

DCA is the key. Without it, you can never grow your bitcoin portfolio since all you do is waiting for the best timing to invest, not knowing that the best timing has passed already.
