1481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: March 16, 2023, 10:51:45 AM
It is absolutely crazy to me that half the people in this thread voted for Thurman to beat Spence.
This is going to be one of the biggest mismatches we've seen.
Thurman can't take body shots, he hates fighting at a fast pace and I don't think he can fight in the pocket particularly well.
I have researched this fight extensively and I can't see one way that Thurman beats Spence.
I think Spence stops Thurman in the 9th round.

"What's wrong with that? We vote based on our personal opinion, and while you might be right with your statement, it's better to be honest. I know Spence is a great boxer and a heavy favorite against Thurman, but that cannot change our decision. Let's just see the outcome of the fight and whether our expectations are met.

I do not know why people end up having doubts about this, because it is obvious that we are not going to end up with any issues at all, we will be basically doing as well as hoped if you buy right now and hold it until the cycle goes to the top.
There is no reason why they keep asking about this other than being doubtful. If we keep this kind of feeling against Bitcoin, I was certain that we just end up selling our BTC at a losing price - buy high, sell low...
In this case, I don't make people think and ask "if are we going late" but rather help them think about the opportunity it gives to us while the market price is still low. No Pain, No gain - and if we keep doubtful, no way we can understand how crypto works.
1483  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what about the fate of altcoins if btc drops to 10 dollars? on: March 15, 2023, 09:42:34 PM
we will not know for the price of bitcoin in the future, and I just want to know what you think, about the question this time that I will ask you all, namely..
what will happen to altcoins if btc price drops to 10 dollars?
Of course, I don't want to think about it but if that really happens, I don't expect that all altcoins have value as well. Because as we notice that altcoins and these shitcoins are heavily affected when the market is down. When the price of Bitcoin got huge corrections, everything is about to follow and the market turned red. And that $10 price of Bitcoin is enough to see the majority of the altcoins are already dead.

But for me, it was an unforeseeable scenario of the market. Bitcoin won't drop like that unless it was the end of the crypto world where nobody has an interest in this.
1484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: March 15, 2023, 11:13:37 AM
I don't think he will retire just yet. I can see that he still feels like a young boxer even today and even had the guts to challenge Moloney for the WBC title. But I guess both boxers are trying to go the easy way to take the belt. Moloney dodges the fight or it's Donaire, it doesn't matter but I do believe these two will try to meet to unite the belts.

We are speculating again, of course. He will not retire, as he has not mentioned retirement yet. Though his age is considered old but the way he fights shows he still has the heart of a champion. His upcoming fight will prove the doubters wrong. It may not be against a major challenger, but a good win will always attract the attention of the crowd.
There aren't many doubters here for Donaire; in fact, I believe that the majority of us are counting on him to beat Santiago. If he were up against Moloney, the challenge might be tougher, but in this case, Donaire is listed as the favorite to win, so he is likely to emerge victorious.

Therefore, I'm optimistic that he'll win via knockout.
That's what everyone is expecting, as Donaire is known to be a knockout artist. If he can't KO Santiago, then he'll be in trouble and might lose on the judges' scorecards.
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: March 15, 2023, 10:42:13 AM

It will be a test for Inoue if he can really strip the belt out from Fulton after choosing to move up in this new division.

Let see how he will continue if he can still dominate to this new weight division.

It's a test, but not a big one, because even though Inoue is the challenger, people still believe he'll win without a problem. If Inoue beats Foltun easily, it will reveal that the current division is weak, so Foltun has to be aggressive and go toe-to-toe against the challenger.
1486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: March 15, 2023, 09:37:24 AM

There is no doubt that Bitcoin is the King of cryptocurrencies. If we only focus on altcoins, ETH is the most successful smart contract platform that owns the largest base of fans compared to other altcoins. The current market cap of Ethereum is over $200 Billions and the this will be more likely to increase in the long term. Can ETH be considered as the King of Altcoins ? What do you think ? Please let me know.
Perhaps, your insights are right. We already know that ETH had played an important role more than any altcoins in the market. Not totally I would say it was the king among altcoins but considering its huge participation in raising the crypto market together with Bitcoin, we can say that it was a big factor to think that ETH deserves to be in its current position next to Bitcoin. And no other altcoins could ever take that place or be even more valuable than what it did to the crypto world.
1487  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Doge really go to the moon? on: March 14, 2023, 09:48:44 PM
The majority of people believe that Dogecoin will reach $1 this year due to the support of Elon Musk. Elon Musk has endorsed Dogecoin in several of his tweets, which has had an impact on Dogecoin's price hike. However, there is no guarantee that Dogecoin will reach $1 or even reach the moon.

He could influence the minds of the people before but for now, those who know the history of Dogecoin's shilling will reject it. That is why even Elon Musk will continue shilling and spreading Dogecoin, it was impossible to gain interest in this project and increase demand. Even let us say that the price will pump but never I expect it has the chance to reach $1 considering the huge market cap of this project and even reaching at least $0.1 is quite impossible to happen.
1488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you guys think that there will be a new technology to recover lost of Bitcoin on: March 14, 2023, 01:07:09 PM
A lot of people posting that they successfully recover their funds for along time but how about those who have lost their Bitcoin? Is it possible in the future that there will be a technology that is specialized in recovering lost in just a matter of minutes or an hour? But on the other side Bitcoin holder are in trouble too as their funds might also be vulnerable and be compromise.
Please more answer to do this please.
I'm not sure if there is someone who is focusing on discovering technology that could trace your keys. But at this time, a lost of your keys will be considered as a lost of your Bitcoin forever. That is why we should back up our keys or passwords to the safest place as we can no longer access our wallets once it was gone. We don't have to wait the moment to happen to us in the first place and if we have experienced losing our keys, I think we have to move on and forget about it coz we have no chance to get it back.
1489  Economy / Economics / Re: Try to save money while you still can, will you ? on: March 14, 2023, 12:33:50 PM
yes, we should understand and learn if a situation like this happens again, like your friend who lost his job and then he can't support his family, that's why if he has savings maybe he can survive for a while while looking for work or income from other sources.
Yes, we should learn to save and have some different allocation depending on its purpose. We should learn to separate savings for investment, savings for gambling if you are playing for fun, savings for emergency funds, better to have a different plan for health related so that allocation for emergency will not be used, it is really hard to save nowadays for people like me but I know soon I will have those, that's why I am working very hard and smarter now.
It was what we called budgeting management. And savings should be given importance at this time as we never know what will await us in the next couple of days. Indeed, we can just put aside some emergencies that need money on time and it was hard if we don't have any savings or anything that could help us out. Thus, if we are not doing this in the previous years, it is a must to have started it now. But this actually works when there is good planning and must also be consistent with it otherwise, we just fail.
1490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 14, 2023, 11:55:46 AM
Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics (-12.5) = Boston Celtics Win 1,90 Odds.

You've just gotta give these young Houston Rockets team huge credits for their win against the Boston Celtics and their stars, The chemistry between those young rookies were rock solid today, and you'd expect them to fold when the Celtics came calling back with a run of their own, I really have not seen them played so connected this well, although the Celtics can be said to have had a rough night, but I think such statement would only undermine the efforts of the Houston Rockets players because the win was well merited in my candid opinion.

Upset happens and lots of bettors for sure got fired out, especially those who added this game to the parlay. Unexpected things that happened
but we all know that it's just a part of it.

Congrats to anyone who take the Rockets today both ML and Handicap a good win for all those who take the risk betting for them.

Another day for every bettor, another result and another research to sort for more.

What was the moneyline odds for the Houston Rockets, by the way?

Well, I guess most of us would not bet on the Rockets, even with the handicap, as we know how strong the Boston Celtics are and how inconsistent the Houston Rockets can be. But on just one of those lucky days for the underdog team, it probably resulted in the majority of bettors losing money if they risked their money on the Boston Celtics to win and cover the spread.
1491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 14, 2023, 11:29:46 AM
How about the Celtics losing tonight against the Rockets? It's totally unexpected for the Celtics to go down against a low team like the young Rockets, but it did happened and it was a very close game.

The thing is that Boston allowed the Rockets to be comfortable at their home, building momentum and takes double digit. And this guys are so young that there are not pressures whatsoever, they just play, hit the 3's and play good defense.

You can't really relax when it comes to scoring in the NBA because most of those players can really shoot and can give you a surprise. This was when they think they already got this game secured but suddenly miracles happened and that's it, though they are the favorite team in this game, they lose it just like that. But the Boston Celtics might not really just playing to their fullest this time because they are getting ready for the real games in the NBA playoffs and losing sometimes to rest most of the players is not really bad.

It's not every day that we witness a good team losing against a bad team. However, last night we saw how the Rockets beat the Celtics, and the other night we saw how the Spurs beat the Nuggets. This has become normal in the NBA. So if you are a bettor, you would love to see this as it gives you a great opportunity to make more money by betting on the underdog.
1492  Economy / Economics / Re: Planning avoids unnecessary expenses on: March 13, 2023, 10:07:01 PM
People who have money does not always bother themselves about savings because they have investment that would keep giving them consistent profits. We need to be prepared and ready to create businesses that would keep giving us profits employing people to work for us while we are the one making the money. There are different things we can do to keep generating consistent profits while are asleep. This is how the rich people make there money so we need to create our own business from scratch and grow to a level of substantial.
Perhaps they don't need to save for emergencies as they already have life insurance that would be used when it comes. They don't worry about small things and small expenses but instead, they have been worried if they will lose the market competition. That is why they'll somehow focus on growing their business and spend more time there.
Budgeting is quite challenging but I believe it could be a workout as long as we are motivated to do so. Planning is very important that could help our budgeting work well, only we have to stay on it.
1493  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You Learn More from Losses than from Wins on: March 13, 2023, 09:44:56 PM
A few times ago I watched a video interview of a top trader.  It was questioned whether he had done any wrong trading.  And the reply was that he had done many wrong trading and he had faced loss through it many times. And another thing he said was that he learned from each loss and applied it to his trading later on. So speaking from this point of view, we must face losses while trading and the smart ones are the ones who learn from those losses and take action to prevent it from happening again. And I also think that this is one of the keys to success in trading.
If we analyze his experience, therefore, we could say that trading is not too easy. We can learn it fast but doing this in actual trade is somewhat difficult.
But we don't have to let this as a reason why we have to quit instead, make this a reason to learn more and enhance our knowledge and skills.
Yes, if we want to succeed then we have to face and win the difficult time we had. Quitting is not an option unless we know ourselves that we can't really take it.

Anyway, I will only bet on the Lakers-Knicks today and will go all in with the Lakers. The Knicks are kind of struggling though they are the one team who has a very good road game record. Still, I'll go with the Lakers even though without Lebron. They are playing very well, and would love to see them continue their winning streak to 4. Smiley Good luck to all bettors.

Unfortunately, the Lakers weren't able to play with the same intensity they showed when they beat the Knicks. This time, they lost the game with AD only scoring 17 points and having a very bad free throw shooting night, making only 1 out of 5 attempts. The New York Knicks won the rebounding battle, and they shot well from the free throw line compared to the Lakers.
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 13, 2023, 03:42:44 AM
Lakers had a mini comeback, but they made a wrong execution in the end. It was heartbreaking as they were unable to complete it, and the Knicks won the game, splitting the two games at the Lakers' home court.

They wasted a lot of time in the dying seconds and failed to foul right away, which resulted in their inability to execute a good game plan. It was a bad play, and they seemed to be experiencing a mental breakdown.
1496  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Market on the Rise, But Proceed with Caution! on: March 12, 2023, 09:40:31 PM
It's true that despite the negative reputation that crypto assets have, they have been performing well in the beginning of 2023. Bitcoin, as an indicator of the overall crypto market, has risen 27% since the start of the year, while the S&P 500 has only risen 2.6% and gold has risen 5.4%. However, it's important to remember that the crypto market is still in a bear market and the bottom has not been reached yet.
Yeah, it's important to realize that crypto is something that is volatile and if you believe in one thing then another thing could happen and it would be pretty reckless if you just go full in. I respect the market too much to know that I am not going to invest and profit very quickly, so I invest whenever I can and let the market do its own thing and wait for it to go up, it's obvious that it is going to go up and make me profit "one day" and until that eventual day comes I am not going to do anything about it.

If you end up trying to invest right now, with the hopes of making a quick profit because it's going up, then you are going to end up with a huge loss instead.
Those who think about crypto investment as a quick rich scheme, easy money, or instant ROI will always end up quitting. It is very important that we know the behavior of the market before investing and this is usually missed by new investors and then blame the volatility of the market for their tragic losses which in fact, is their fault. Because the more we understand the market, the more we control ourselves. It is all about embracing and adopting the natural flow of the market which many people haven't done but instead, they do against and even want to control it.
1497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about stop gambling services issued by gambling platforms? on: March 10, 2023, 04:27:11 PM
Does it really help them? No, and I don't think they need to do that just for the sake of stopping people from becoming a gambling addict. Instead, they keep encouraging people to gamble on their site and enjoy themselves.

Honestly, being addicted to gambling is not about the site, it is about losing control of ourselves. Though they are saying just gamble moderately but in the case of addiction, they have nothing to do with that but to let them play, instead of stopping them.
1498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 10, 2023, 02:46:38 PM
The road losses of the Warriors are getting frustrating as it grows into a pile of numbers.  Cheesy
That's not the defense that I would like to see if you are aiming for a win, literally bad. No question. I watched it over and over and one of them is Klay Thompson who looks like he forgot to eat his breakfast.
As a Warrior fan, it's very frustrating to see them losing in the road.

The once team who is very dominant in terms of defense are now one of the worst right now at least in the road. I wonder how they are performing very well in their home, but very awful on the road. I guess the absence of Wiggins and Kuminga affects the team. Both of them are good wing defenders especially Wiggins and with both of them out, it might be hard for Green to do it all.
They will be able to figure out how to win again; after all, they are the defending champions, right? They have lost some games and won some games, and although they may be in a losing streak now, it won't last long as their pride is so strong. Expect a win soon; who knows, it might even be in the next game.

Anyway, I lost both of my bets today against the Warriors and against the Knicks. It seems like the double-overtime win of the Knicks over the Celtics got them. There is a possibility that the fatigue is getting them thus, they are playing worse than how they are playing.
Also, remember that the Kings are a great team, and they are playing at home, so their confidence is very high. I understand that the NYK is also a good team, but we have a home team that is well-rested, so they have a good chance to win.
1499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best practices to prevent hackers from stealing our crypto assets on: March 10, 2023, 01:49:42 PM
I have something to add.

If you want to use a password manager to keep track of different strong password you have then be careful in choosing password manager that you will use.

If that is not what you do then you shouldn't use password manager as some of it are hiding in plain sight and and it steal all the password you save in the oassword manager.
If we are not sure about the credibility of the site, we'd rather keep it at ease because for me 12 words are enough to secure our wallet, not unless we are careless enough. Because I know that hackers will always find a way to track and steal your money despite the long passwords you have, not by cracking it but in some other ways.

I would say that there is nothing that would guarantee 100% safe in crypto wallets but we can at least secure it by simply being careful on accessing sites and email links.
1500  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it legal for our kids to learn trade? on: March 10, 2023, 01:27:57 PM
I will advise you to allow the children to reach 18 or 19 years before you can teach them how to trade cryptocurrencies in the market, which will really help them to catch up with your explanation so that they will not miss it in future. At the age of 10 or 15 years, it will be difficult for them to know how important their seeds phrase is to them, because they will feel is not necessary to keep them safe. Just try to encourage them to wait till they grow mature in away they will be able to embrace income and lost which are part of some of the things new traders will definitely come across in the market.
Their interest brings them to this place and wanted to learn which means that these kids are willing to be taught and accept ideas. They can't simply think about the risk and feel the stress as they are still in this stage of learning so there is no problem with this as long as they are permitted by their parents.
Anyways, it was just all about learning trading but in the case of letting them in actual trade, that is another story which a need for them to be on legal each before starting. But preparing them longer is an advantage for them when doing actual.
