Problem is including getting fouled cam thomas shot almost 40 times tonight.  That's a recipe for a lot of points and a lot of team losses.  There was a reason when Durant or kyrie were there that he averaged 8 or so points.  He doesn't play winning basketball.  He is a dead end shot chucker.  Yeah he fills it up but he doesn't make anyone better.  When Durant comes back and if they trade for another star (if) then Thomas will go back to normal.  He has the ultimate green light right now because the rest of that team sucks.
This team will really not win because it's a team of Durant and Irving, now that both are not playing with the team, then we cannot expect their win. But the good thing is despite the Nets being the underdog in the last few games,  they still don't fail to cover the spread, so they are giving bettors money easily.

It was done in front of the Lakers' crowd. LeBron breaks Kareem's all-time leading scorer, nothing to say but to congratulate him and all those who support him from the beginning of his career.

Amazing standing ovation for the king, he truly deserves the praise, a good example of an athlete
who dedicate not just his skills but more on how to be a good example in maintaining your physical
health.

He was on a mission to break the record of Kareem, he even break that in the 3rd quarter, just too early as I thought he'll make it in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, the Lakers may be too overwhelmed by the success of Lebron that they forgot how to defend, yes, they lose in this game too.

Their new import, Wayne Selden Jr. just came in into our league and he will face the Ginebra immediately. Cheesy.

Currently no odds on Stake still but, I might bet on Converge and NLEX to win on this one. Smiley

I would not bet on NLEX at this game, they might be having some chemistry issues, and Ginebra is also a good team, so I'll just observe first, maybe I'll be taking the Ginebra in live betting if the spread is high.

By the way, here's the resume of their new import, he played in the NBA for four seasons, so this guy is surely a good competitor.

Trading addiction is too different from gambling addiction or any of those you have mentioned and I think it was not necessary to be in rehab to cure such addiction. It was indeed becoming an addiction if we are in profit. Why do we have to submit ourselves to such a place if we know that we are addicted for good, not like in gambling we lose more?

Might this thing exist but I don't think anyone will do this. 
1025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: February 06, 2023, 09:19:03 AM
Just so happened that they've short in the last minute that's why they've got two early losses.

Yeah, they almost got a win against SMB possibly with Paul Lee's clutch shot. But if only their import is playing well in the entire game, there's no need for that clutch shot moment. Can't imagine Magnolia's import only scored 13 points in that long playing time. It's not how the import should be.

Magnolia did a good job of fixing the import problem right away and decided to replace him before anything much worst happened. It's quite unusual to see the Magnolia Hotshots in a 0-3 starting record at any conference involving an import.

They are in a losing streak, that's already a bad start for them. For them to win, they should get an import as good as Brownlee, I mean, they should use Brownlee as a standard in getting an import because if Brownlee will still dominates, that would mean Ginebra will be the champion again.

TNT is again ahead in the first half.

TNT 52 - Magnolia 39. Do you still remember what happened against the NLEX? they struggle in the 2nd half, so I like to take chances here, betting on Magnolia ML and +11.5. Let's go, best of luck to me.  Smiley

Good luck, that's a risky bet IMO, but you know, they are the Magnolia Hotshots, this team is capable of coming back from a big deficit, just like what they did against the Converge, they just fell short in the 4th quarter. Let's hope that Abueva will be able to play in the 2nd half, Magnolia really needs him to guard the import of the TNT.

The same thing happened to Magnolia in this game, they were able to make it a close game, I think they were only down 2 points but they make mistakes in the next possessions giving the TNT to take their comfortable lead again. Lots of mistakes for Magnolia, although they have the defense but unfortunately their offense are not clicking well, Paul alone cannot win compared to the spread offense of the TNT.

He won the +11.5, the ML is just a bonus because somehow Magnolia was able to give a little hope that they could win the game. No ML but the handicap was covered well. Congrats @Hypnosis00, I said it was a risky bet but congratulations because you won the spread.

Does anyone bet on the under? The game went under easily due to a physical game, the total was only 178, I'm wondering what's the betting odds for 170-180 total points range.
1027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin adoption growing stronger everyday on: February 03, 2023, 12:02:47 PM
Not surprising though but honestly, we are still at a very low level of crypto adoption. Meaning that we still need many years to fully adopt Bitcoin. However, it was not totally bad as it was, we can't urge people to adopt crypto if they are not willing to do so or if the government will not support this. I was already happy to see the growing number of establishments that offer Bitcoin/crypto as a mode of payment. But then, still not enough to make everyone value Bitcoin and give trust in the system because I know uncertainties are still on their mind until now.

1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: February 03, 2023, 10:30:43 AM

I'm not sure though if Donaire is thinking retirement, I never heard from him telling the public about his plans. Even after Inoue knock him out, he still want to chase greatness at 115 lbs against Estrada, but now he chance his plans.

He still wants to fight, but I believe he mentioned that he wants to retire as a champion, so he would like to get a belt again, and with what happened. I don't know anymore if Donaire can still have a championship fight soon, seems like the chance is not fair for older fighters nowadays.

Quote
Perhaps we should give him like 2-3 years to fight or less than that before he thinks of hanging his gloves for good.

But right now, the opportunity is there so why not take it.

But he cannot wait longer, he needs to be active to have more fights and to test himself if he still can dominate in this division.
1030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be profitable for the business? on: February 02, 2023, 02:05:58 PM
Suppose I am doing business through an online Facebook page and website and want to accept Bitcoin. But now if I look at cryptocurrencies it comes with high volatility, and I have doubts whether accepting Bitcoin will be profitable for my business.
I really want to know your opinion on this and what are the initial steps I should take if I adopt cryptocurrency for my business? Because I see many people on the forum are taking steps to accept Bitcoin for businesses and that's why these questions araised in my mind.

I understand how you feel about the volatility of the market and it looks like you are not ready to deal with it. Running a business with doubts will make you fail, better not to do that if that is still in your mind.

- preparedness
- focus
- trust

But in your case, I don't think all of these things will work for you. Something you need to clear your mind and replace with positivity for this will give you peace of mind and so you can decide well.
1031  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it safe to buy now? on: February 02, 2023, 09:04:27 AM

Whether it was buying or selling, it was our own decision, nobody have urge us what to do otherwise, it was manipulation.
If someone will sell their Bitcoin at this time, I don't stop them either. Perhaps, it was their decision and as long as they gain profit from that, then it was okay. We also have to understand the market situation and the personality of the investors  because some of them are short-term holders, they will sell if they are satisfied with the price and also buy if they have the chance.
I waited for a while when there was a recent rise, but now I continue to buy again, because the correction that I expected did not follow. I also admit that it can still happen but I decided not to wait and follow my investment plan.

I think it is very stupid to sell now, because the growth has not even begun in full, I do not understand what is the point. Why did you have to wait so long, the whole bear market, in order to eventually sell with a small profit. Perhaps everyone has their own reasons for this, we don't know, but I would not sell now in any case, it's too early.
The current market situation couldn't influence to a person like you are a long-term investor. You are not aiming to earn a few bucks but rather aiming high, doubling, or tripling your profit. But in the case those investors are selling this time somewhat looking for assurance, they simply take the chance while they are already in profit because I was sure that they will reinvest once the market dump again. But it gonna be also unfortunate if the market will never dump again.
I'd see the positive results of following our plan but this becomes a big challenge for others. That is why we can see that not all are long-term investors, some got it short hold, then sell.
1032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how the name of Bitcoin is spreading globally! on: February 01, 2023, 01:30:59 PM
Well, this could possibly confuse the mind of people, especially those who really never know Bitcoin. They might think that Bitcoin Gold is also Bitcoin. Nothing benefits from it aside from getting confused and rises questions about the real Bitcoin.

But as we know, Bitcoin is already been known globally and if we talk about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is at the top of our minds. Besides, spreading the name of Bitcoin is easier if we use social media platforms and I see it was more influential way than doing what OP has shown to us.
1033  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Success in futures trading after long wait. on: February 01, 2023, 12:58:17 PM
...

   Now with the activity you did there, there were some mistakes you did that made you lose at first, but I'm just wondering why you didn't use a stop loss, which I think is the reason why you lost when you started here based on the screenshot you showed. But in the end, you recovered. I'm just thankful that somehow you regained what you lost and somehow made a profit from it.
I'd never see a mistake of what OP did, it actually happens when something bad happens in the market like the FTX issue which affects crypto prices. We're affected by it, no one had escaped. That could be a wrong move if he is too emotional and if he sells his Sol. But is really a strong holder, he carries positivity which able for him to wait until the recovery started. Many people can't do that but from what I see of OP, he has the trust of this project and yes, it is worth waiting and gaining back his money plus profit.
1034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: February 01, 2023, 10:07:13 AM

I just don't know why the Knicks gave him a large contract where in fact, he's that awful both in offense and defense. Yes he got a double-double tonight, but his shooting is just awful. Trade him and just make a team around Brunson and Barrett. I'm not disappointed because I lost my bet, but I'm disappointed because of him. Cheesy

Well, his stats have improved this season if you compare his stats to the previous season, however, those stats are still useless IMO if he is not clutch enough to win games for his team. The Lakers is a good opponent, if they have won that game, that's going to be a good achievement for them. Anyway, I think they still have a good standing now, and they will likely be in the playoffs again.

1035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 01, 2023, 09:13:45 AM
Crazy ending to that Lakers game. LeBron got another chance to get a game winner but this time he passed the ball to Anthony Davis who then committed an offensive foul which ended up with the game going to overtime. They still won and LeBron moved a little closer to the record. Westbrook seemed to get a lot of crunch time minutes as well.

That was a lucky break for the Knicks, it's just that their last play was not planned well, I think it should be Brunson who should take the last shot as he is hot in that game, for sure if he missed it, he might get a foul. I don't understand why it was Randle who took the last shot.
1036  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My advice If you are here to make money on: January 31, 2023, 01:22:45 PM

Trust me, old investors will also keep losing money. Traders lose money all the time, and it's a known statistic in all types of trading markets that the majority lose money.
I don't agree with this. Might say they also lose money while still learning but if we say ALWAYS and ALL the time - meaning they didn't do anything to improve their strategies or correct their mistakes. If this is really happening, then we could assume that they no longer stay in the market today as they don't have the reason either.
Quote
The thing to learn is not that they will gain many times from thinking well. But to expect that you will most likely lose, but that your chances are better with smaller gains over the longer term, and from not making trading your main investment of time.

Do your normal job well. Put aside savings, then put aside investments, and invest in proven things like Bitcoin. And still, expect to lose Smiley
You will certainly suffer losses to any form of investment if you never know how to do it. That is why we don't just simply buy coins or anything but also invest first in enhancing our knowledge and investment skills. We can't just empty our brain otherwise we lose them all.
1037  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is investing in ethereum safe? on: January 31, 2023, 12:55:00 PM

Ethereum is far better than those altcoins and if I ever have to invest in Altcoin it would definitely be either Ethereum or any other top Altcoin because they have great market record.
Ethereum is always been great since the start and no other coin could surpass it. But there is one thing that affects the demand for this project, this is because of the huge transaction fees that most traders and investors don't like it. However, despite the huge fee, I'd still see that ETH remains on top among other altcoins, and that is probably because the trust has built strong already.
Ethereum has been known for its profitability and that it keeps the faith of investors, short-term or long-term.

Magic is a big surprise this season, they may not be consistent in winning but what's important is they are winning and beating good teams like the 76ers. Thing is, we only think they are a weak team because they are undervalued by the bookies making them heavy underdog in the betting odds.
That is true. Those who are courageous enough to take the risks at betting for them will find themselves a big winners today. I am not, I chose the 76ers over them even though I know Joel Embiid might not play, I should've taken that +10.5 for the Magic instead of the -9.5 for the 76ers.
Well, it's not new that they upset teams, it's just inconsistent. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are the only players there that are consistent enough to keep the game close even against opponents like the 76ers. But when someone stepped up his game on their bench like today Mo Wagner, they will have a higher chance to win.
They will always be the underdog except when their opponents are Houston, Spurs, and Pistons. I would probably try next time to bet for the Magic.



Good luck to you, Magic will be playing the 76ers again, just one day rest and they'll play again at the same venue. Not sure if Embiid will play but even if Embiid will play, Magic still has a chance to win, or if the 76ers will defeat them, at least they'll cover the spread because they have the momentum.
1039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 31, 2023, 11:31:43 AM
SMB will play again tomorrow, it's their 2nd game in this conference.

They'll be playing the Bossing, while in the 2nd game, it's the battle of NLEX vs TNT Tropang Giga.

1- Blackwater 5.40 vs SMB 1.12
2- TNT 1.52 Road Warriors 2.36

I think it's good to risk on the Road Warriors as they are still undefeated now, their import is also playing an impressive game, so who knows?

If you've just bought bitcoin on January 15 when you've made and asked through this thread, you're already in profit. Price back then was $20k and price currently is $23k and trying to hit $24k any time now.

Those that have worries upon buying now or so. You should just take action and be accountable to your own decision so that you're the only one that's going to look at the lesson and the profit that you'll get.
Whether it was buying or selling, it was our own decision, nobody have urge us what to do otherwise, it was manipulation.
If someone will sell their Bitcoin at this time, I don't stop them either. Perhaps, it was their decision and as long as they gain profit from that, then it was okay. We also have to understand the market situation and the personality of the investors  because some of them are short-term holders, they will sell if they are satisfied with the price and also buy if they have the chance.
