Finally! Pistons got the win after the worst losing streak in history and Raptors is the victim.  I had Cunningham 28+ points bet but Markkanen blew my parlay. He shot 0/7 behind the 3-pt line and could score only 12. Whatever, Pistons won tonight and that's the only important news. LOL hate to be a Pistons fan this year. Unreal losing streak they are on and it's not like the team is terrible. Pistons actually led at the end of every quarter, maybe this game is a momentum builder for them.
Hard to tell though, but as long as they will remain healthy, they might not be able to create another losing streak. First win after a 28 losing streak, it's a big relief for them but that doesn't change anything a lot, they still need to prove that they already figure out how to win the game, not just this one but on the games to come. |

With greed, we tend to forget the security of our coins because we only focus on how to maximize our bitcoin accumulation. And I understand that since I've also passed that stage. But when security becomes at risk, your whole bitcoin investment will suffer so its really a must to secure first the security and safety of the storage of the coins, and create a hardware wallet. Security and privacy of your wallet should be your top priority before you decide to maximize your bitcoin hodlings.
I've commit mistakes when I was still new in the market and that made me suffer from significant losses. And I don't want other newbies to suffer the same mistakes that's why I'm also sharing my fair share of lessons.

Bitcoin is still completely illegal in my country. I was first introduced to Bitcoin through a friend of mine. I first bought Bitcoin in early 2017. I bought only 25 dollars worth of bitcoins then. The feeling of making the first investment in life was different. Although I wasted that Bitcoin by investing in a third party hype site. I had a hard time losing my first bitcoin.
How did it feel when you first invested in Bitcoin?
Losing your first bitcoin investment is really frustrating, most especially if you use your hard-earned money just to buy that bitcoin. But no worries, all investments are actually tested at first and once you have learned your lesson, that's the time that you will be more capable to invest and gain more promising profits. People lost their bitcoin probably because of scam due to lack of security or its just that the investor itself is not knowledgeable enough to secure his bitcoin. Whatever the reason, that will teach you to be more cautious and more careful every time you decide to invest. And once you start taking investments, be responsible to provide high security of your coins so you won't end up regretting due to lost bitcoins. |

however, they'll be very vulnerable if this is how they want to play all season because I can still remember their last match against Warriors, where they had about 5 second chances opportunity and the game being on the line but they can passing out the ball for a 3 point short that eventually didn't and it cost them the game when Curry was able to get a final shot for the Golden State Warriors.
I don't understand the Celtics because they seem to be playing like the game of the Warriors. They can't go toe to toe with the Warriors on 3 point shooting as that's their game, they still have Curry who broke their hearts during the NBA Finals, so Celtics have to be wiser, play the game on how other teams beat the Warriors, and that is by taking advantage of the points in the paint. We all know that teams now are very confident with their 3 point shooting especially the Celtics who are currently the number 1 now per https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/points-from-3-pointers... but it's different in a pressume game, they can't beat the Warriors on their own game, so they need to experiment a bit on this, and it's called in game adjustments. |

The score was close but if we were able to watch the fight, we can say that Teofimo was really the one dictating the fight, so we can also call that schooling since it's expected that Josh Taylor would have a good fight, IIRC, he was even the favorite (probably slight only) but Teofimo steal that moment in the fight as right from the start, it's already evident that Teofimo was very comfortable and winning every round. I think even Josh Taylor himself knows he lose the fight, so that alone is already a proof that it he was dominated. Josh Taylor believes he simply had a “bad night” when he lost to Teofimo Lopez earlier this summer. https://www.boxingscene.com/josh-taylor-on-rebounding-from-lopez-loss-i-plenty-option-just-bad-night--177694Yes, that's what I'm trying to say, most of the time the judges scorecard doesn't really reflect what the "real score" inside the ring. Even in the Bivol vs Canelo fight, it's very close in the judges scorecard, but we know that Bivol took Canelo to school and dominated that fight. And yet the judges seems to make the score close to even a conspiracy that they might want Canelo to win on that fight. If the fight was a close one, and although the real winner is Bivol, judges could manipulate the scorecards in favor of Canelo because he is a big name in boxing, and with his win, it will create stories that will make the boxing industry better. This conspiracy theory ain't new, because it happened from time to time although it's not prove, but we can notice if we have an investigator minds. Anyhow, fight is still very far and maybe fighters are not yet into serious training right now as they want to just enjoy the holiday with their families.
Or just maybe hitting the gym but not putting serious work, just loosening and maybe next year is where the hard work starts.
The real training starts next year, although we can't say that everyone are not so serious this holiday season as not everyone are observing or celebrating the holiday season. |

Like they have said that he who didn't plan has already planned to fail and this is why we have some businesses springing up but they are not succeeding because of lack of proper guide and management. Budgeting is one of the leading factors to business and it growth.
A business person who knows what he is doing, would take stock of his business from time to time and make plans to growth it. Businesses are not handled into success for the lack of proper budgeting, even the government budget on how to carry out his capital projects and recurrent expenditure. Budget determines how far the business will grow or how soon it will crash also depends on lack of proper budgeting.
Without proper budgeting, all successful businesses are doomed to fail. That is already expected much more to those high rising businesses where extreme budgeting is a must. If you fail on that, the whole concept of business will fail as well. So put budgeting as the topmost priority when aiming for success and long term profits. However, budgeting can always be learned if you have the eagerness to study on it. Sometimes, it takes losses at first before you will see the high importance of budgeting, and that's normal as long as you also learned your lesson. |

The risk is always there when you are thinking saving on bitcoin and suddenly, bitcoin price drops heavily that you won't think it will recover anymore. In order to lessen the risk, I suggest you go on saving both in bitcoin and in traditional mutual fund, that way is safer than go all in with bitcoin. But I certainly agree that in the next possible years, college degree might not be a major requirement anymore since everyone can be the best asset in a company most especially if he has the knowledge and skills that the company is looking for.
You can still go and finish your college degree but that's only an individual's choice already, not actually a requirement to successfully land a good and stable job.

In basketball which is my favorite sport to bet, I am mostly into the spreads. I am not into total odds because it is another work of research and analyzing teams' scores in their previous games. I just prefer the usual way which is analyzing who wins, and the ability of the teams and players.
Same type of favorite sports mate. Yes, I agree with you, it might need additional research but personally I don't study it hard. I just look at some numbers, trying to make it simple and just guess, that's how simple it is for me.  I don't know if spreads and totals are popular in other sports. In boxing, I am mostly into ML and then KO or decision which is a different method. In DOTA 2 e-sports, I am also into ML. There are also spreads but the change is huge since it's mostly best of 3 and 5, and giving up or getting a plus 1 or 2 games is too significant.
I think in most sports totals are present but as we all know, it's a team vs team or player vs player game since bettors loves to cheer, and we don't cheer on the total score alone, that's non sense and it's not enjoyable at all. However, this question is only for betting purposes, we deal with figures and results here, that I want to know. BTW, poll has been added, please everyone vote between the two. |

I haven't check who's the next opponent of Pistons, but if it is a team that is below .500 and the game is going to be in their homecourt, maybe they will be very competitive and end this losing streak.
They'll be challenge by the Toronto Raptors on their next game, you can check it here https://www.nba.com/pistons/Although Toronto is below .500 (12W- 18L), but this team is a playoff team, as much as the Detroit Pistons wanted to win, Toronto is also aiming to win to improve their ranking as currently they are ranked number 12, so if they'll stay at that rank, they will not be able to participate in the play-in. |

I agree with you. It is up to you if you want to do something you want to do and if what you are doing lets you earn money then you deserve it and if it's about gaining knowledge then you deserve it. What you do in crypto space is your own decision and no one can decide for your own that is best for your although you may ask for guidance from another person but at the end, it's still up to you on what you decided after asking someone.
Everything lies in your own hands. If you chose to acquire knowledge and skills throughout the years, then you will most likely become successful in every endeavor you plan to make, and you deserve it because you work for it. If you want to stay on your comfort zone and not risk taking new things, still you deserve it because that's what you prefer not to do anything. The crypto space offers vast opportunities so that's up to you on how to take advantage on it, or you'll keep missing opportunities like this. Things that you experience right now are actually what you deserved. Be it profits or losses, that is only the result of what you've been risking since from the start. |

A lot of people have been asking me this question, so I thought I'd ask you guys the same. My plan is to diversify across promising projects, optimize with rebalancing, and keep a level head throughout the ride.
I think everyone's strategy is the same - buy cheap, sell expensive. But not everyone is able to hold their coins for a long time in order to maximize their profits. And it is really very difficult to do this when you see that your deposit has doubled and there appears a great desire to fix your profit. That's the real challenge in the crypto market, aiming to hold for certain years so we can sell at its highest peak, but we know in reality the term hodling is not as easy as it is though. It's not as smooth and less stressful as they say because price correction keeps testing your faith as to how long you're sustainable to hold. You win when you hold it still despite of market crash and correction but you lose when you end up panic selling because of the fear that you will lose more. I believe trading will still be great but unpredictable by 2024. But if we can always stick to the basic, buy low and sell high, we will never end up as a loser but stay profitable most of the time. |

Every time I bet on sports, I usually focus on the moneyline and spread. Sometimes, I also bet on the total, over/under. As a gambler who aim to be profitable in the long run, which of these two are you more comfortable betting with? And please explain the reason behind.
Also, please state the game you are betting so we have some hint on what strategy work in a specific game.

And yes, it's a good partnership, between the two parties, and seeing Manny's face in BK8 promotion is huge already.
I've read mixed comments about this commercial in Facebook, and some are making a guess on what is BK8, they even make their own meaning about BK8, and for them it's "Boxing King, 8 Division champion". I laugh quitely while reading and I say to myself, they are genius because it does make sense. Isn't it fitting though, that BK8, one of the largest in Asia is partnering with the legendary Asian champion in Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Yeah, that could be the meaning of BK8, Lol. But we all know that BK8 also has a lot of stars specially promoting or partnering with football teams and players. And maybe this is one of their strategy now, to get Pacman so that they can attract boxing fans as well. So like others said, it's a good move by the marketing people behind BK8. Any business that has pacman as their endorser will have a good future, especially in sports betting where Pacman excel in sports. He is a legend, a living legend, so no one would not recognize him, just a great move, I would say. Bk8, I don't know if it caters Filipino players, but I hope they will because with Pacman, it would also be able to attract Filipino gamblers. |

Buy a little bit of bitcoin every week don't care if it's a $1, $5, $10, $100, figure out what you can afford every week and buy it, get rid of unnecessary expenses or whatever you can think of getting rid of and spend it on bitcoin
5 to 10 years if you buy some every week you will be a multi millionaire
There's no other effective way to accumulate bitcoin than to follow DCA, otherwise you will complain all the time about the highly cost of bitcoin. However, by doing DCA, you can extend your bitcoin hodling with how many years you are comfortable of hodling, just continue to be patient and positive on any of your investment, it will really give you a successful outcome. |

While these beginner traders are busy trying to show off their potentials in trading, when we all know they are still in the process of learning, the real successful and long term experienced traders are just silent on one side while harnessing their craft in trading. Instead of talking out loud like beginners do, they just do their thing privately, away from the public awareness.
Trend has really become different these days. Whoever who have less knowledge and are less skillful are those that do a lot of talking and bargaining, while successful professional traders just focus on their own private life.

Thanks for sharing the link here. Pretty cool mate! I am a big boxing fan as well and Manny Pacquiao is the only 8-division champion in the history of the sport. So it's an honor BK8 can get endorsed by a legend and one of the very best in the sport. And now I am more interested in getting a BK8 apparel. Good move by BK8. Pacman is a good ambassador for this gambling site as he is very popular worldwide, people love him, so Pacman endorsing BK8 will certainly result to increase of audience for this gambling site. This is the beginning, maybe more popular sports celebrities will partnered with BK8 to help this site grow bigger. By the way, i have a question, was the youtube profile used in this advertisement video is own by BK8? I'm just curious because they only have 18 followers, which I assume they aren't too focus in using youtube for their marketing. |

The Golden State Warriors finally winning most of their games. They are now on their 5th winning streak but later it will be a problem if they will continue that winning streak. They will be up against the strong Denver Nuggets which are also on their 4th winning streak. My worry is who will be defending Nikola Jokic, it could become an easy score for the Nuggets if no one can stop him. I doubt Saric could do the job, he is too small to stop the skillful big and I bet Coach Malone would take advantage of that, without any doubt.
I am amazed at how the Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics days ago but that's because they played fire with fire. Considering how good the defense of the Nuggets is, it will be a different fight.
Klay Thompson is on his 6th game 20+ points per game. I think he will be the key for the Warriors to win one more time and continue their streak. It would be a good confidence booster if they did. Still, I am betting for the Nuggets on this game.
Jokic and Gordon inside that's really a headache for the Warriors, knowing how good Jokic in terms of passing the ball or finishing the basket, the only chance Warriors have is the firepower that they've got, but the next question is how they will execute. Knowing how good also the Nuggets in terms of protecting the basket and they've got players who can rotate to tail both Curry and Klay. We can only conclude once they are already playing, the way they will execute both offense and defense will be the key factor here. We are seeing a different GSW and Denver Nuggets, if before the Warriors can dominate the Nuggets, not this after they won the championship as they already have a deep line up with the Warriors have been inconsistent despite of their win streak. It's a road game for the Warriors, they normally struggle on this situation and they'll challenge the Nuggets who are 11-2 at home, so good luck to them. I don't want myself to be hype with what the Warriors had achieve recently as I'm with the real deal here and that is the Nuggets. |

A decent gambling site should be transparent and fair, but we must still be watchful. While community strength is in numbers, personal effort is the first defence. A healthy and engaging gambling experience requires trust and caution in online venues.
This is true, we should know what we are doing, so in case we sign up to a gambling site to play, before we agree with their terms, everything that is written was already understood. Complaining in the end is useless because every casino might have a different rules, once you sign up, that simply means you agree to it. Actually, for gamblers who doesn't really risk huge money, it's okay not to read the terms especially if they can just let go of their money in case their account will be ban and funds will be frozen. In the end, it's still up to our choice, and all the time it's important to be aware of the risk. |
