It is a gambler's choice indeed and as we can see, most gamblers had a choice to take more risk due to the tempting huge rewards. It is a common mentality in a person who believes that if they get lucky, they will become instantly rich. Just to point out how the lottery attracts bettors and despite the small chances of winning, they still choose this. That is how money can manipulate one's mind and even poor people still have the guts to spend their hard-earned money hoping for fortune.

I didn't do that as I don't bother to ask other people about how much they gamble and how much they win. Because even knowing about it still, it never changed my mind and had kept what I usually did as much as possible. I know gambling and I know myself that once I spend more, that adds pressure on myself and is always a reason for terrible losses. I've made a mistake before, I bet more thinking that I could win more and recover my losses but I fail and lose all the money I have in my pocket. So I have to be wise now, $1 per bet could be enough, maybe increasing to $2 is still good but making it $5 per bet, I surely not.

I'm not sure if this will make your trading journey successful but this is what I did;

 - I'd focus first on knowing what trading is all about, I'd rather just forget how to earn a profit but try multiple strategies in order to find out what is best and what will work for me.

 - I'd give time to develop my trading skills and analytic capability, and I don't rush.

 - lastly, I accept advice from others and gain ideas from their teaching.

I know it won't work easily but if we want to become a successful trader, then we must have to do it step by step until we get the right trick.

Well, we can force them either. They are not investor and not in their minds to take risks even though they know that Bitcoin is profitable.
Only those who understand crypto will have the courage to invest while the others just ignore the potentiality of this project. It was not new to see people's rejection but I know sooner or later, they will realize and see the value of this project.

We can never say we are at the best time to buy because, for me, the time is during bear season. It is an individual choice and the most important is that we do something before the ATH comes.

Big line movement for SMB. From -6.5, currently it's -8. ROS has a decent lineup also, so it's really hard to decide if we would think that SMB will win because they also need to cover the spread, winning 10+ points will make our bet safe, and they have to start strong so they'll not fall short in the end.

As we can see on the standing https://pba.ph/standings.. ROS are on a 6 winning streak, while SMB are on 5 win streak.

In terms fo import competition, I like the import of SMB as although he is new but you can see how hardworking he is on the floor. In their last game, their import has 44 points and 12 rebounds, he is probably a double double machine.

Unfortunately they loss after an impressive performance against the Heat. Maybe because they are on a back to back game, and one thing is they don't have Siakam who is also a good offensive and defensive player. It was fun to watch though, it was a close one but the Bulls ended it strong and win.

Not sure if this current line up is a playoff roster, but let's see. It's time for Barnes to shine now, he is leading the team so their performance this season matters a lot on him as a leader.

 - should have a certain amount allocated funds for trading ( ex: $1000) and use only that amount to trade. Avoid funding more.
 - stop chasing more profit, at least earning 5% is good enough
 - don't overtrade, never trade every day, and give time to relax to ease your minds
 - learn from our mistakes
 - focus on high volatile coins

These are not the assurance for a successful carrier in trading but for sure it will help. As we are in trading, we need to learn to accept whatever the results and stay calm, and remain on our goal. We have to remember trading is not easy, so we have to be prepared for it.

Indeed, holding is not always good, and why we should miss the chance to sell them if we see a profit already?
I have no regrets about selling my Bitcoin earlier and I have no reason to do that because as an Investor, I have to take advantage of the roller coaster movement of the market (the up and down). I'd just even realized that I've earned more rather than holding for 4 years. It is how we strategies our investment and the volatility of the market seems to be the way it helps us.

Maybe if we have a busy life that we can't spend a few hours in the market, then holding must be applied but just like me, I'd rather have to play around and take the opportunity of the up and down situation of the market.

It is very great to remember those days but yeah, have to accept that not all projects stay long and profitable, they also turn to lowkey and ignored because other projects have appeared and are more appealing. I'd see how practical we are now, we took what is in the hype, took advantage of it, and threw it off once benefited.

ICO was been part of my crypto life, I've been a bounty participant since that time and can't deny that most of us had earned money from them. In fact, can't imagine one of my coins had pumped more than 1000%, that is really surprising. But yes, can't deny the fact that not all of them are having such overwhelming price increases some are scams also which until now it stuck in my wallet.

Don't get confused because they are not meant for such a term, after the hype they are going to dump and die. In fact, for the number of meme coins created, only Dogecoin remains popular while the rest are (obviously) dead. If we think about buying them and holding them for many years, we are just looking for a miracle and hoping it grows. These meme coins have no use case, that was the thing we missed which is why it never stays long or will never encourage investors to hold instead, they dump them once earned some profit.

They are good at words and promises but these projects are far from showing it.

Finally!

COLUMN: Tim Cone is SBP choice to be permanent Gilas coach


There's nothing to worry now because it was alreay named that Tim Cone is the permanent head coach of the Gilas Pilipinas. We can be confident that our team will be more competitive in the long run, great news for the basketball community here.

2 wins in a row, that's a great comeback after a losing streak. Those are home games win but that's okay, maybe next time they'll also start winning on the road. On their game against the Dallas, Russell has the biggest contribution, this guy was the topic that will be traded, but with his game now, I think the Lakers will change their mind.

Russell had 29 points from 11-20 and 5-7 beyond the arc, if he'll stay consistent as this, Lakers is going to be one of the teams to beat.

Maybe my thinking is wrong but for me, I don't need to have a fast-growing investment but what we need is assurance from not wasting our money. The results will all matter in the choice of coins.

I don't buy unfamiliar projects nor do I buy cheap coins because most of the time they become scams. In fact, that is the common reason why they are rejected by many investors due to less profit potential and most of all, not use cases that will give us assurance which is very important to see when choosing them.

Understanding the current situation of the market, we can say that it is growing. Those who accumulated Bitcoin last year have already gained huge profits but haven't said we're too late for this and take the chance while halving is just coming because we are expecting a skyrocket after. Having the fact that investing in Bitcoin is a good choice and not a losing investment. Buy now, hold, and wait for the ATH --that really sounds crazy but it is possible as long as we have faith and are able to wait for the right time to sell.

That is the thing we supposedly but unfortunately, many people underestimate how the crypto market works, they simply just think it is too easy and can still manage to trade so well despite the lack of knowledge and preparation. And so no surprise how they suffer losses later.

We just hope that newbies will spend their time digging and learning more ideas, and stop rushing. We keep in mind that in order to gain success, we also need to work hard and stop assuming that we are well-prepared yet to continue learning.
 - have a concrete plan
 - strategies

It all works efficiently and successfully.

With this line, it only tells that his value has dropped significantly. The fights with Haney that he never had a chance to make close were the main reason for that, so he needed this fight to get back to the top. However, I doubt Loma would allow that to happen since he is also aiming for a big win, hoping to secure a more significant fight next time, perhaps another match with Haney.

What I can only expect this fight is that it's going to be an entertaining one since Kambosos does not know any other style but to be aggressive and always go forward, but since Loma is a good counter puncher, I'm afraid this will not reach the judges scorecards.

That doesn't happen a lot. Let's just say that Sixers played better that game, but if it was a best of 7 series, I think I would always trust my money on the proven champ. not that I don't like Sixers though, in fact, I'm happy with their performance as they seemed to get better when they offload Harden, so I'm looking forward that they'll continue to impress us beating strong teams, especially in the East.

Anyone can be a professional trader but it is not just by saying it, but also needs actions and courage. Because a lot of people asking it by the problems, they are not even doing harder instead, they take it easy thinking that they can manipulate the market and win. No, not exactly the way it works because even if you know TA, candle stick reading, and learn all trading tools this won't assure your success. Why? That matters in your decision-making and emotional dealing, and most traders fail because of these things.

In trading, it is not just knowing how it works but also, tried adopting the situation and control ourselves.

I hope we can do that as a gambler. In reality, most of us tend to choose putting more bets as that brings more entertainment, we always value first the entertainment before the chances of winning, and when we do that, we are just treating sports betting as a game of luck.

Maybe that's what separates us from the experts, because they know how to control their emotion, they will only put a bet once they are 100% sure, no more messing around, it's a pure business for them.

This is expected as this team is full of superstars, and time will come they'll figure out how to win with the right chemistry.


However this one is quite surprising as Jazz is not even a playoff team but they are on a big run now. On their winning streak, they include the Bucks, Sixers, and Nuggets as their victims, so I would not be surprise if they'll beat another team like the Boston Celtics as they have been so dominant now.
