Stake 93% to reach platinum 3 i need strategy

Please share good dice or other strategies conditions

You just have to ask yourself on how you reach that 93% though. For sure you just have to play on Stake for a long time and then played on your favorite, be it slot machines, sports betting, live casino games and dice.

So that's it, there's no secret strategy for going up to a VIP level program in any sports casinos.

Just enjoy games, put a bet (obviously you might have lost big money already on their platform if you are about to reach Platinum level). Don't rush things, again, have fun and best of luck!.
1042  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best and worse slots on: May 18, 2023, 11:52:33 PM
Could you please recommend a good slot with bonus buys and low cost, if possible?

Game of luck, bro. As a slot game enthusiast here, "Please find your own slot game".

Believe me, we have our own game where it will bring luck to us. That game might not be popular or being played much. Try to explore, if not within the same provider, then switch to other game providers. Obviously, these streamers you are referring to do have lots on their pockets that's why their bankroll is lasting for long to the point that they can experience several decent winnings while on their session.

Alright, you can consider this; explore a game provider that is not that hyped or popular. In my case, I have good experience dealing with their games. Want to try your luck there? Want to test the waters there? It's up to you. Again bro, "game of luck".

Absolutely I agree. It's a game of chance. You may not be lucky in the game where I am lucky. You have to decide for yourself. on youtube vs. I don't think it makes sense to watch and try your luck in the same game. At least I don't. "Find your own slot game" as said in the message I quoted.

Maybe you don't need someone else's opinion when you find your own slot game. Good luck.

And it's the slot that you obviously like that you should play, not those you have seen being played by youtubers because it might have been a different setup. And if you won, then there is the element of luck as we have said enough, game of chance for this slot machines and not all machines are the same.

So we wouldn't recommend any games, it might be just hype again by those youtube influencers and it's not a good way to find your own slot games.

Better try other games that you like and see how lucky or unlucky you are.

I'm seeing that if this fight is not going to be made, then maybe we will not see this happening this year and it might be too late for Donaire, in my opinion. Just a year added to Donaire's age might be huge.

Just saw a newsfeed in my social media account stating that a trainer of a gym in Cebu City is helping Donaire train for his upcoming fights, so i think that Donaire will be fighting this year but what caught my attention on that news (though not official) is that Donaire will be fighting Alexandro Barrios and not Alejandro Santiago whom we are speculating that the Filipino Flash will be fighting, that maybe the reason on the delay of the fight of Donaire as WBC might be shopping for his new opponent.
 
Quote
Doc J is helping Nonito Donaire Jr. prepare for his upcoming WBC bantamweight championship fight against Alexandro Barrios


Thanks for this news, at least this could be the reason why the fight is stalling at this point, maybe Santiago pull out of the fight and so the WBC will have to look for someone to replace him.

So Donaire is still in Philippines? that's good to know, at least he is going back to his grassroots and most likely training some upcoming fighters or giving them motivation.

Now sure who Doc J, is he something famous in the Philippines? I will have to research more about this guy.

Btc price prediction 40,000$ top this year.
Then 11,000$ then start of bull run year 2024 up to 100,000$ +  bull run will end 2026- 2027
By that time 100k+ is Coming for sure.


I may agree with 40k is the top of this year and yeah it will come as we already broke 30k.

Now about going down to 11k before the bull happens? that is something I need to disagree because what I can see here is that at least we will get down to 15k and that is the lowest .

and 100k is indeed coming , but this will not last till 2026-2027 because the longest it can run is 2025 and 2026 will be once again the bear market.

11k is too low, even lower than last year's low that bitcoin set. Meanwhile, last year the market faced many black swans from outside the market, such as war, inflation… to bad news from the market, like the collapse of FTX or Luna. It was a terrible time, but bitcoin hasn't been able to drop to $11k, so it's doubtful that this will happen this year. Bitcoin will have a correction after reaching $40,000 or more, that is what will happen. But I also don't think it will correct to $11k.

Unless we have multiple black swans + FUD then most likely we will see $11k. But personally for me, we might have hit the bottom already for this bear market last year when we touch $15,500 due to FTX collapse.

As for $40k, we are now struggling to get to $30k this May, and next month will be in the middle of the year. And with that, we don't know what's going to happen, maybe $40k will be the top price for this year or not. The good thing is that base on history, prior to the block halving, we might see some spike in price as well. So if not $40k for this year. Maybe early 2024, we might hit it or even higher.

If you are a Heat fan for sure that sweet odds will be in your favor, especially for those who are betting per game, while waiting for the
series each game wins will add decent profits to their bankroll.


Truly the game was exciting and the Miami Heat needed that win from Boston Celtics's homecourt because they will gonna have strong support from their fans there. The Celtics need to fix their roles and be constant in their intense play throughout the game to secure the win. The Heat has been in this situation before and they know how to compete and win some games which is the Celtics not aware of it and also right now the Heat is not gonna just give them an easy win until the last seconds of the game. These two teams know that if they can get through this round they will have a high chance to win the championship because their opponent is not GSW anymore.

I thought that this will be an easy blow out win by the Celtics but I was wrong. I think they have underestimated the Heat in game one, that's why the lousy play and all the taunts and other trash talking that back fire on them.

So we should give coach Spo his due in this game. And then the players themselves, specially Jimmy Butler who gave another playoff performance that is hard to forget. The ball is literally on the side of Celtics, and I will say that they are in a must win situation in game 2. They don't want to be down and then traveling to Heat homecourt wherein for sure the it's time for their fans to mock on them.

Did you guys watch the KSI versus Fournier fight? Another controversial ending in the world of boxing and the referee was in a blindside position that's why he didn't catch it. At least one of the judges should tell it to the referee before he counted to 10.
In the first round, Fournier was also complaining about the shot to the back of his head and then the push that made him fall, luckily the referee saw it and didn't count as a knockdown.
Whoever the committee on this fight should really try to review what happened there. It doesn't look like boxing but more like MMA.  Cheesy
And, it could be a dangerous thing that could send Fournier to the hospital because his eyes rolled after dropping on the canvas from an unexpected shot.
KSI now challenging Tommy Fury.
Nope, I think most users are watching Jason Moloney vs Vincent Astrolabio and Casimero vs Nghitumbwa, seems like KSI lost it's popularity or he was choose a wrong date.

Regarding Casimero vs Nghitumbwa, I've read that Nghitumbwa rehydrate after the weigh-in in this fight to close to 150 lbs or even more. And probably this is the reason why Casimero has a hard time to really knock him out for good because he goes and become heavy after the limit of 122 lbs during weight in. Not saying that this is a excuse or Casimero's power is not there anymore. But obviously it's hard to knockout if lets say he just go and added additional 10-12 lbs in his frame while his opponent very tall Nghitumbwa and heavier weight close to super welweightweight class.

So if he is that Nghitumbwa whene he rehydrated, it just shows that Casimero has the power to knock down everyone in the division.

And most likely the power is really felt by Akaho that's why he quit against Casimero.  So we will see who is going to be the next opponent of Casimero, I think he can still make a fight before the end of the year? He should be more active again so that he will be just inch closer to another chance at any belt or if he targets WBO as he held the belt at 118 lbs then it's a good strategy as well.
1047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BEST TIMEZONE FOR SPORTsBETTING on: May 15, 2023, 06:42:59 AM
There is no best timezone in my opinion, as obviously gamblers are all over the world and they might follow the timezone of sports event that they want to bet or simply follow their own timezone.

For me I love to bet on NBA games and so I will look for the next schedule and see if it can fit my timezone, meaning if I'm awake that time and probably can watch the game. But if it is too early, then I might just go and sleep and know the results once I wake up. Or if I'm really very interested on watching the game they I have to wake up early to catch the game live.
1048  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN BULL MAY BE IN TROUBLE on: May 15, 2023, 05:33:14 AM
Until now nothing big has happened in May, in fact the downward trend continues and there is a chance the price will fall below $25k, of course this is a good consideration to buy when the price is cheap, don't miss the opportunity to buy when the price is falling.

I don't know if you check the price yet because it seems that we are seeing a good pump starting this Monday. We have seen the price going as low as $26,500. But as of time time, the price is $27,272 and most likely the price will try and attempt to break $27,500 or $28k perhaps this week.

If that is the case then it's good to see that the bulls has somewhat regain the market. So can also look at the mempool, fees are started to go back to normal as well, no more high fees that most of us complaining. So most likely that is the case here, bitcoin investors are going back to the market as fees are no affordable as at least.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 15, 2023, 02:45:34 AM
Ouch!
The Boston Celtics took the life away from the Philadelphia 76ers. The 1st half was fun until Jayson Tatum got hot and it's totally over. He passed the record made by Steph Curry on a Game 7 points made. 50 for Steph passing KD and now the crown is on Tatum with 51 points. Bad man.  Cheesy

I was wondering when will James Harden erupt at attacking the paint but he seems scared to put it there and make an offensive attack. The usual playoff James Harden is not yet gone. This is how he panicked back on Houston Rockets and it happened again. It ain't about lack of experience, he choked again.
Joel Embiid did not play like an MVP too, it's either Horford is really good at defending him or he forgot that he has one more weapon which is perimeter shots but he is not taking it. I didn't like the plays, most of them are kick-out passes with no accuracy on where the ball will go.

1/2.
At least I won the Over 198.5. Congrats to the Celtics bettors. All spreads are covered.

Kind of a predictable game.  Everyone kept saying taytum is overated and then dude drops 50 in a game 7 do or die game.  There are players and then theor are special players who rise to the occasion.  I'd take this dude on my team any day any game.  I hope they take care of business with miami and expect them to.  Gonna be tough for the east to come out and win it this year the west just looks so top heavy dominant. 

I wouldn't say his over rated though, last year they didn't have the needed experience to beat the Warriors, but now it's a different Boston team. It's a come from behind victory in this series and him and Brown has mature enough not to choke in big games like game 6 at the road against the 76ers.

And now the drop 51 points in from of the crowd, if you are a Boston Celtics fans, you should be happy with the way they beat the 76ers. Hot shooting and they play good defense too limiting Joel Embiid and Harden. So congrats who beat on the Celtics at handicap.
1050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 15, 2023, 02:28:54 AM
^^ Game 7 is not even close, yeah, the 76ers took lead in the second quarter, but the Celtics are not bothered by it and they keep coming back. And then they just needed one quarter to close it, because in the 3rd, they just allowed 76ers to just score 10 points. While they become hot on the 3 point line as everyone is hitting beyond the arc.

The MVP for this season just had 15 points, another frustrating year for Joel, although he won the coveted MVP, his team will not advanced to the finals and fell short after taking a lead in this series.

For me, Tatum and Jaylen Brown is the best duo in the league and it will take a lot from Miami to step either one of them.

There is another controversial fight, it's Romero vs Ismael Barroso.

Romero was down in this fight, but he scored his own knock down against Barroso (debatable) in round 9th. But for whatever reasons, the referee, Tony Weeks suddenly stop the fight.

Barroso is leading on the 3 score cards prior to the stoppage.

Here is the video, even the announcer was stunned by what Tony Weeks did.

One more Coach down.
Suns fire head coach Monty Williams after NBA playoffs elimination
https://sports.yahoo.com/suns-fire-head-coach-monty-williams-after-nba-playoffs-elimination-013546547.html
Quote
The Suns fired Williams on Saturday, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, two days after their elimination by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. That disappointing exit left the Suns with some uncomfortable questions, one of which has now been answered.

I said this to my friends after Game 6 ended on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Coach Monty will be fired. No questions. And it did happen.
It's too obvious because the team sacrificed two good players Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson in exchange for Kevin Durant and TJ Warren, so they will be expecting a better ending than being eliminated in the semis. They want a ring, a championship but Coach Monty cannot provide so he will be gone.

But rumors tell this might not be the end for him.
Milwaukee Bucks needs a new Coach and he might be one of the candidates with Kenny Atkinson, and Nick Nurse. Although I would like to see if the Bucks will try to make history and hire Becky Hammon and earn the first woman to coach an NBA team.

This is what? The 4th coach down? Correct me if I am wrong.
New owners typically want results. Unfortunately, the Suns had injuries at the wrong time. Monty will find another job pretty quick, but he should have never been let go.

NBA is rapidly becoming the new football, I really don't understand how they could have considered their season a failure, and let Monty hang for it, when it was indeed the general manager who traded all the depth they had and could have in the future for a supposedly instance shot at a championship, quite a joke imo, and they had nothing to fall back on during the playoffs whenever KD and Booker went to the bench, they were lucky it was 6 games series, it easy could or should have been a sweep, their best card could have been keep Monty for the upcoming season and look for other role players depth to pitch around them, and a De Andre Ayton trade would surely earn them more than what they'd need for such season, but they'd rather get a new coach, I really can't wait to see how many sort issues they'll find themselves in up next, time, for sure would tell!

Maybe they are expecting more as they traded and got KD. But Monty did try his best, but I think him and Ayton has issues, I still remember last season wherein he and Ayton has somewhat not understanding each other.

But as what we have seen, Ayton got injured and that's it, the chances of the Suns to overcome Jokic went out of the window. I think Ayton will be traded, I have a feeling that with the way he show again this playoff, the Suns management might have seen the last straw and probably get a new set of center for the Suns.
1054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jason Moloney vs Vincent Astrolabio WBO 118lbs Title (May 13) on: May 14, 2023, 06:22:55 AM

But I guess Moloney is satisfied circling around and trying to avoid the power of Vincent and score a victory but very close in the judges card.

Moloney won't be able to do that against Donaire because Donaire has the reach advantage. He will be the aggressor once he faces Donaire, and based on his performance in this fight, I wouldn't be surprised if Donaire scores a knockdown or even a knockout. It was a great fight for Astrolabio; I thought he would win, but since Moloney is the more popular name, the outcome of the fight was already expected.

Let's follow Moloney's journey. It would be nice if he shows bravery and gives Donaire a chance to fight him, in case Donaire's fight with Santiago doesn't push through.

But the thing is that Moloney has been drop by the WBC in their rankings. So not sure even if Moloney is the champion now, that they will allow their rank boxers to cross over the WBO and fight Moloney. You know, boxing politics, but I guess when their is money for both WBO and WBC they might have to sit down and settle and allow it to happen.

We shall wait first for the Donaire vs Santiago, at least we have filled one of the belts that Inoue has left. So it's time for other governing body to step up and also put a champion in their organization.

1. Bitcoin total max supply is almost at 21milliion, why should I invest?
2. Bitcoin miners are not making more Bitcoin as they used to.
3. Bitcoin value is too high, I won't make enough gains investing in Bitcoin.

1. And we are getting to that 21 million almost getting mined. Perhaps in the next 3-4 halvings.
2. Hashpower is the key
3. Another lame excuse I do agree

Before you nailed me to the wall for saying these, this aren't mine, they are shit talks I heard from people who believe that Bitcoin investment is too late, what advice do you have for them? Your contributions are welcome.

All I could tell such people is that, they should look at the bigger picture, we are still early than they think, how many people in the world are out of Bitcoin and Crypto? Not even 10% of the whole world population are in Crypto today, and the most effective reason for Bitcoin to keep growing is the adoption rate.

Like I keep telling people, with 0.1BTC in few more years you will be one of the Bitcoin OGs, all you need to do is HODL firmly.

Remember that some early Bitcoin adopters bought pizza with their Bitcoin, real scarcity rate and massive adoption is coming, don't stress yourself, just go for 0.1BTC.

As you have said, newbies should look for the bigger picture, not just the next halving, but the next and then next one. Because once bitcoin supply is getting limited by every halving, the price will definitely go up as there will be more demand, the basic law of supply and demand will be more evident than ever before. And we don't need to invest 1 BTC right away, just keep grinding and accumulate as much as you can, in your capacity. Be 0.1 BTC or lower.

Those who are running long term investment, always have to undergo the active maintenance of seed phase, password, device for instance if your phone lost, you have to look for a way to restored everything into your new device, most people lost their seed phase, private keys and wallets that's why I have come up with little ideas especially if you're this carefree person.

Once you own bitcoin wallet or other crypto currency, thinking of how long you can maintain your wallet follows this steps,
First send your seed phase or private keys to your emails, also use them to compose a little song only can listen anytime, write it down in your diaries, and makes sure have a google doc to save your wallet keys and other information.

That's a bad idea to send your seed phrase or private keys to your emails, because once your email is hack, your crypto is gone for sure. Same with putting it to google docs, my point is that you don't need to put it at risk and going online.

The best thing to do is to really write your seeds and private key and keep it in a secure place and make multiple backups.

I read that Oscar is criticizing Ryan Garcia now, or at least giving him a advise as per what I read here:

Quote
“Ryan Garcia has to rearrange his team, his inner circle,” De La Hoya told FightHubTV, “and then take it from there. And take boxing seriously and train harder and train smarter and have an actual training camp up in the mountains where you’re focused, where you have tunnel vision, that’s my opinion.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-says-ryan-garcia-needs-shake-up-his-team-implores-him-take-boxing-seriously-train-harder--174546

So maybe what we heard from Reynoso and Canelo Alvarez is true, that Ryan Garcia is not taking training seriously or not giving it 100% every fight. And now that he face a fighter that is elite, he was exposed, got knock out, first time in his career.

And maybe who knows, after this contract with Oscar will expire, we might see him moving and looking for a new manager.
1058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 13) on: May 13, 2023, 08:45:04 PM

Surprisingly Nghitumbwa lasted til the end of the fight. I find the referee wanting Nghitumbwa to go on fight right away without counting up to 8 when he was knockdown. Luckily Nghitumbwa survived the pounding.

But it's true it's not what people here expect to see a KO end in the early rounds. Nghitumbwa obviously has a bigger physique. Despite Casimero keeps targeting his gas tank, he stands the test. He didn't give an easy fight win for Casimero.

Yes, perhaps Nghitumbwa has a good chin and stamina and was able to withstand the power of Casimero early that's why he was able to get up from the canvass and surprisingly, lasted 12 rounds against the power of Casimero.

And it seems that this division is going to be tough as expected, this is just a acid test for Casimero and he pass it although we want to see a brutal KO to bring his career again. Nevertheless, a good second fight for him at 122 lbs, need more exposure though, a name fighter at super bantamweight so that he will be up in rankings again and possible for a crack on the title, whoever it was.

Why are you panicking with these small drops? Aren’t you aware what are Bitcoins capable of? Bitcoins have risen from nothing to a valuable asset. If you still question on Bitcoin’s capabilities, then you don’t have the rights to be a Bitcoin investor. I mean took this downtrend as an opportunity, and try to buy as many coins as you can now. Hold the coins, till the demand among the members to buy Bitcoins increases, and hence sell the coins and make profits. Easy as that.

Perhaps he thinks that the price can go parabolic or continue with it rise to $30k or even higher. However, we all know how volatile the market is, and it's hard to really predict where the market is going to be even though we uses technical analysis.

So now we already at $26,800. It is time to panic? I don't think so, we still have the next big support at $25k. On the other hand, this kind of drops could be good for us in the long run. I mean when there is a correction, it's going to be healthy as there could be more investors that can enter at this price or this is a good entry level for them.

^ No game 6 Klay, I thought he will be the one helping Steph in this game, but it was Donte DiVincenzo. Bad time for the Warriors to really caught up with their bad shooting.

On the other hand, the Lakers doesn't want to go to game 6, Bron and AD, Austin Reaves and D'Lo wanted to finished the series.

You really have to give it to their new coach for the adjustments here. And Pat Beverly and Russell Westbrook chance to get a ring is still alive with the Lakers eventhough they are no longer with them as far as I know.
Too bad for GSW, I really thought they will have a great win today but the result is different, I lose a bet but its good to see how GSW played the game, they still tried their best and fell short, come back stronger GSW!

Anyway, Westbrook is no longer part of the Lakers so technically there's no chance for him to get a ring. Denver vs Lakers will be exciting, I see how dominant Denver is so this will be a big challenge for Lakers to get a big win against Denver, we'll see.

Him and Pat can still win a ring,  Pat Beverley to receive a ring if the Los Angeles Lakers win it all.

But not gonna lie, it's going to be hard as they are going to face the top seed in the West, the Denver Nuggets.

However, I think the Lakers has a chance, they have a deeper bench that Denver and at any given night there will be a player that will explode and it's going to be very difficult for the Nuggets to stop that guy if they lack role players.
