Considering laying down a few Satoshis on the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics game. I kind of expect this to be a pretty hard fought series and I feel like these teams are pretty evenly matched. I kind of like the Miami Heat at -4.5 points. Since the teams in my opinion seem pretty evenly matched I think the edge goes to the home team. But I would not be surprised to see this go either way.

What a good start by the Celtics though, they lead at the half now. But it's now over, I think the Miami Heat can overcome the Celtics because it is just a 8 point lead.

So I will probably go with the ML live beating for the Heat at 2.40.
They will going to push the tempo in the second half and not allow the Celtics to get 2nd chance points.

Good bet on the Heat the second half. Yeah, it was a slow start for them as the pick and roll was working for the Celtics early with Williams scoring like 10-12 points inside.

But when 3rd quarter comes, it was a total different Heat, Butler, shutdown Tatum, on the other hand, Tatum can't guard Butler one on one. Steals, block shots and 3 point shot was their main weapon in the 3rd to make the huge comeback and then taking the lead.

Great catch during the live game, the odd is sweet and Miami didn't disappoint every bettor who believe that they can turn things

to their favor, whatever coach Spo told them it's very effective, they play both defense and offense the way it should be. This win gives

them the advantage, but they still need to win 3 more to advance to the NBA finals.
That's too far from celebrating that the Heat will win, just like the Bucks series, Celtics loss game 1 but they were still able to win in the series.
It's just that Celtics are undermanned in game 1, but as soon as Smart and Horford will be back, things will get better for them.


Tomorrow's game will be between GSW and Mavs. Would it have the same home court win or Mavs will snatch game one and take

the early series advantage?

This remains to be seen though, but I like the Warriors to win the series, they are now the favorites so I'll go with the line set by the bookies.

Game 1 tomorrow.

Heat vs Celtics, heat is -2 at home.
As reported, Marcus Smart is questionable in game 1, but I still think Celtics will have a good fight in game 1, they have won games without Marcus smart, so it's not a big loss.

https://www.slamonline.com/nba/celtics-announce-marcus-smart-is-questionable-for-game-1-against-heat/

Horford did not win as well, actually, Celtics had a good start until they loss their defense in the 2nd half, particularly in the 3rd quarter. It was a good game though because Celtics aren't giving up, so I believe this series will be long, probably game 7.
1663  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 17, 2022, 03:19:40 PM
PJ Tucker, Danny Green, McGee are few of those lucky players,  Grin.

So let's see if Tucker can make it back to back with different teams, this will be a good accomplishment, but they have to go first with Celtics and then on the other brackets winner. I will go with the under on this first game, 203.5 at 1.93.

It would not be so easy for them like in the 2nd round because Celtics are a complete different team that they beat before. In fact, Celtics now are the favorite to win the series, so I wouldn't be surprise if they'll steal game 1 in this series.

Heat has to win the first 2 games if they want to have a good chance of winning the series. Heat surely have a plan against Tatum, they'll find a way to slow him down but at the same time, I'm worried about Butler because it seemed like no one could defend him from the Celtics roster.

They have to, but they have to understand that Celtics are the favorite to win this series for a reason. Everyone has to show up, not only Butler because in the 2nd round, I see some players who are not really consistent except Butler. We don't want to see the Heat like the Bucks team.

Indeed! Heat needs everyone to work together. Butler alone is just like Giannis back at Milwaukee. He might exhaust himself competing

but if they will play alongside together and show their home dominance, the chance of winning the first two games at home is possible.

on the other side, Boston again will try hoping that this time fate will give them the chance to appear in the NBA finals, tough job

but we never know who's going to represent the East side.


Expect a game 7 on this series, it's tough to predict the winner because both teams are good, but I'm with the favorite to win the series which is the Celtics. i like them because they are moving the ball very well, and everyone can shoot 3s, even Horford who will be their center.
1664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 17, 2022, 02:45:28 PM

And that's why Donaire really doesn't want the fight to last 12 rounds because he for sure he will gas out. And in his previous 2 fights, it didn't last long so we think that Donaire is really back in his old form. But also during his prime, he has some close 12 round wins. Not sure if you guys watch him fight Cesar Juarez because that's one of a fight for Donaire and he did survived the onslaught of the Mexican boxer. But still his gas think will be in question here.

He knows his limitation, he is not getting any younger, and although he still has the power his stamina is not as good as when he was still younger. Inoue is on his prime, it's a tough opponent by Donaire, it's just good that he won his last fight so he will be more confident facing his fellow champ in this division.

Hello everyone, I'm new here but not to crypto, and I must say that I'm totally excited to find a forum dedicated to bitcoin and crypto generally.  Before signing up here, I was skeptical about the credibility of this website, reason being that I have come across some other websites as well that have bitcoin in their names like "bitcointalk", but all they do is advice you to invest with them.

 So far in my very short time here, I have opened a lot of pages here and as far as I can see, this website is unlike any I have come across having bitcoin or crypto in their names.

I hope my time here will yield life changing results, what do I need to know?
Well, Welcome on board. Perhaps you could learn a lot from here if you keep your mind open. Your time here can't be wasted, as the more you spend time roaming around, participating in the discussion, the more you enjoy the forum. Bitcointalk forum is not just all about earning money, we often discuss strategies about those things but on the other side, the forum had developed our minds to accept the truth that cryptocurrency has something big to contribute in the future that we all can be benefit from this.
1666  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin price is falling? on: May 17, 2022, 01:00:30 PM
I have been thinking of the possible reasons of the bitcoin falling down. Since I am not an expert on the Currency I cannot predict or give any reason. That is why I want to know the reasons. Please if anyone can tell me I will appreciate. Thanks.

BTC is just following a historical pattern. We have seen that after a bull run, the BTC market stays in bearish mode till the next halving, and that is what is happening here. This is the time for the whale to accumulate more BTC from the market so that they can keep most of the BTC out of circulation that was released by miners. This is the obvious nature of the BTC market, and it's almost predictable now.
it is definitely not a question of why the market is falling in the first place, we are already aware that this situation may come at any time, most especially after Bullrun. We are already done with the bullish view of the market and now it was the time to face the other side of the market (dark side). Some may be worried about their losses but some are just happy that they have the chance to invest in the potential coins that are at a cheap price.
1667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Altcoin is good to invest in right into? on: May 16, 2022, 11:37:53 AM
ETH, SOL, BNB, ADA...
They are among the top 10 altcoins and probably the most recommended altcoin to invest in. I don't recommend new projects nor to look at the bottom and I don't consider the price really matter that we need to invest in those coins that are too cheap instead, we have to look for the potential. It was indeed the price of these coins are a little bit high but the risk is less compared to the others.
1668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 13, 2022, 09:10:03 PM
There are really questions but a win is a win and he did his best. Whether Magsayo struggles or not in that fight, if he's ended up as the winner, that's the most important thing. We just not realized it but he was recognized in that fight.

I agree that a win is a win, but he will have to come up with big wins against name fighters to be in the discussion as the best featherweight because this division is stack up.

Magsayo wins but there are still some doubts from the fans if he would be able to win convincingly in this fight. We know that he won because he was fighting a champion with an injury, and was only fighting with one hand. For him to finally gain some big respect, beating Vargas is a must and should be not in a controversial manner. Anyway, good luck to him.

LUNA went to ZERO, causing inflation. What is going to happen next? Is there any chance it will rise again in the near future?
The future is unclear now for LUNA considering its current trend, many investors won’t come again on this project or we can say that LUNA is already a dead project because of this. Will you still trust a project that from a peak price after 3 days it drops almost 99% which makes a huge panic in the market. LUNA was a good one but right now its not so better to be careful if you are still planning to buy it.
The price is almost worthless, how can this recover again?
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/terra-luna/

I doubt it will recover again, this is just one of the biggest bad news this year, and because of this, we are now back in the bear season again.
Prepare for another huge news, we shouldn't be surprise because we are in crypto, anything is possible here, both bad and good news.

Your friend has to understand that crypto and FOREX are different, they behave in a different ways, and he has to focus if he wants to be profitable. yes, he bought bitcoin at that price, but he doesn't lose his money if he would not panic and sell at the current price, patience is the key and he has to hold because this dump is just temporary.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 13, 2022, 02:00:52 PM

100% I am so fucking sick of people gambling on animals of any kind whether it’s dog racing or horse racing but especially even more sickening and cruel types such a cock fighting and dog fighting. What in the world is wrong with your government?! Some sort of savages, Jesus Christ. The whole world has a major issue when it comes to gambling on animal sports but especially the eastern world , and in particular Asia. Asia seems to be a century behind the rest of the world in terms of what is ethical and what’s not. I would love to give anyone who supports this bullshit a punch right fucking face. This angers me to no end!!!!
i agree with the dog fighting because its so cruel, but the concern when it comes cock fighting? well it's very common here in Philippines actually and very popular since we don't have any animal games except this one.

And the reason why our president banned it because of some cases that most of the owners suddenly disappeared and there's still no information on them until now and the rumours is they're are dead because of that game.

I don't think so as they earn too much money and they can survive some time until the crack down by the government is over and we may see them coming back.
Also, i am sure the cock fighting will still continue hiddenly, even if the government ban it.

Like other type of illegal game, even if the government already banned it, there are still people who are willing to violate the law for their satisfaction, and of course they need to understand the risk.

Quote
Are you sure the owners of the cock fighting game are dead ?
It's not the owner who are dead or missing because the owner is Atong Ang, one of the richest in PH (probably) and he is still breathing.

We are back to the 90s, the Fed raised the rates by 0.50% - nothing is going to stop the trend of further rate hikes - which in turn will keep on taking the air out of the balloon so called Crypto.

We may remember the past and how it happen but never I think were turning like that again.
We can't deny the fact that although there are so many good things happening around at this present time, there are still worse scenarios that are accompanied with.

We could say that Elon Musk is a very rich person and really has an influence on the market but this was not enough to move Dogecoin and even Bitcoin away from the current situation. Certainly, it dumps for many reasons and Elon Musk is out of it.
1673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Anyone Think Luna Will Recover? on: May 13, 2022, 10:46:33 AM
That was hard, unfortunately. This is what we called risk in investing in a project that doesn't have a backup plan, unlike Shiba Inu. To assess how this situation went on, we can't decline such a doubtful view of this project and less likely it will recover after Binance was giving up on it. We neither expect this to happen, however, the choice of luna for investment seems not really at its best. I presume that many are suffering losses to this unexpected abrupt decline of Terra Luna but we don't have to think this will be the end of this project, maybe we have to hold it for awhile, let us see what will happen during the next halving.
1674  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everything stop on: May 12, 2022, 01:23:38 PM
Todays current situation for Luna all my works just stop and cant belive whats going on with this scenario!!  Lost too much in my life savings!! Now thinking about invest on btc at least there is no chance like 98% dump at least stable coin looking to more risky!!
Too regretting and really sad to hear but you are supposed to be aware of the situation that investing shitcoins or let's say less potential projects are too risky. Terra Luna is not a good choice actually, in fact, you can find a lot of potential coins in the market but you had chosen this project because you think this gives you a huge profit.

You are supposed not to put all your money in a single investment, many people have been doing this before and many of them are in regrets. If you do the search before investing and have an idea about this, I'm very certain that this never happen to you.
1675  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time for me to buy on: May 12, 2022, 12:40:39 PM
Despite no serious bull in the market for sometime,  I am thinking to buy more because the price at which bitcoin is right now I can be able to afford it. I planned buying when the price was at 40$ , the amount of bitcoin I planned to buy is a small quantity which if the market eventually go dip i may lost 30% of it. But now I feel even if I buy and it goes dip it wont go dipper the way the price is now.  What do you think about my plan?
It is every time we come to think about buying during the bear season but unfortunately, many times that it also changes when it comes.
The price of Bitcoin went down to $28k, how is your feeling today? Well, I hope you do not regret seeing the situation go bad. Pretty sure many were still in doubt to buy at this time, many had been changed their plan as they have been badly influenced by their emotions and lack of trust. This is very common during bearish.

1676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 12, 2022, 11:15:04 AM
That was just a heartbreaking loss for the Boston Celtics since they were up to 10+ points in the 4th quarter but they can't stop the 100% threes of the Milwaukee Bucks in the 4th quarter which dramatically cut the lead and in the last minutes, it was really a playoff game that we were excited about, the pressure, the excitement and the intelligent play in gathered there. Giannis is bloody but still managed to score big time and finally, it was Jrue Holiday again who play well both offense and defense were impressive and he just shut down the entire Celtics in their homecourt.

How the hell did Celtics lost that game? I mean with 4 minutes left they are still in front like 6 points and lost by 3?

I went out thinking that the Celtics has this one in the bag, homecourt advantage, plus a good lead and it seems that the Bucks are crumbling under pressure. But when I come back to see the score, was surprised of the turn of event. So yeah this is a heartbreaking lost and I don't know if they can recover from it.
As the OP said, it was real hardcore playoff action we have witnessed. Even though I personally don't like Bucks so much, I have to admit they played so good and I respect them a lot. They were so good at the clutch and scored those threes like it was nothing. And in front of Celtic crowd also. Big respect! Celtics also panicked so much and made so many turnovers in the last minutes. We can see it as Bucks had a solid defence too. It was one of those classic hardcore playoff action. And Giannis is just crazy. What a memorable performance again. Also during the clutch time.

Giannis missed the FT that could have tied the game, but that missed gave then an advantage as they got the rebound and they made the shot to give them a 1 point lead, and after that, Holiday Blocked Smart shot and he was smart enough to through the ball to smart so he'll be the last touch, everything went well for the Bucks that game, they were great.
1677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 12, 2022, 10:52:10 AM


The Celtics is indeed interesting to watch each game because they have that capacity to dominate even the heavy teams in the league right now and make them struggle, even if they are defeated, they will surely bounce back in the next game and correct the mistakes they did to have a must win as they cannot afford to lose a straight 2 games.

Now that they are back in Boston, the Celtics now have a higher hand when it comes to advantages while the Bucks are still undermanned. Last game, Al Horford and Jayson Tatum exploded while stating that they are not easy to defeat despite being the underdog.

I completely agree.

However, I just think that the Bucks have way more experience and will likely outlast the Celtics when it comes to a 7-game series.

Yes, they have a lot of talent and will be scary for years to come etc. but I think that Giannis will just be too much for them to overcome despite all the advantages that they may have. Giannis is just on a different level.

Celtics needs someone to have a very good game in order for them to win, just like in game 4, Horford made a playoff career high, so the Celtics won. However, if they would struggle, it will be the Bucks who will win because Giannis showed consistency in every game and he can carry his team to a win.
I beg to differ, they don't need someone because their current line up is already lethal. They just need enough exposure to learn from their past mistakes. Al Horford made a statement last time that Giannis shouldn't have to do that, I'm sure Giannis regretted it because he was the reason why the Celtics center have gone berserk. The Bucks should be careful on how to do their game because the Celtics does really have a capacity to dominate other teams.

Al Horford was huge in game 4 but he was only limited in game 5 with 8 points, that's a big dropped of contribution compared to his last game's performance. once again, Ginnis showed his dominance, he scored 40 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, but the hero of this game was Holiday, he had some clutch offense and defense on the dying seconds of the game.

I am not sure but maybe it is because of home court advantage? but still there's really a huge score gap between the two and Ja Morant was not even there, we really can't deny that the Grizzlies did a good job on that match with their ball movement and offensive on paint.

That was a total dominance by the Memphis. home team these days are winning big time, probably the biggest loss of the Warriors but there's nothing to panic because it's just one game, warriors still has 2 games to finish the series, they can make it in 6.

To be honest, the main thing that I would advise is not to rush into a choice, because this is simply the worst thing that can be. Most often this leads to losses, no matter how it sounds.
I appreciate that idea.
It is a need for us to understand clearly how this trading will work and never underestimate the risk it has. We should not get tempted by those influencers saying trading gives you money, and a huge profit in a short period of time as it was totally different in the actual scenario. And instead of thinking about profit every day, we instead expect more losses. Well, it could be worse if we really don't know what we are doing, if we don't have knowledge about trading.

Bear market haven't even started yet, if you know how ugly a bear market gets you won't be buying altcoins right now, how many altcoins have died so far due to bear market? None right? Well let me tell you, a bear market is a death bringer for altcoins, all those meme coins and shitcoins that you are eyeing won't live to see the end of the bear market, its always so painful for altcoins to stay alive at such season.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.
You are just very optimistic for not seeing the market in the declining sentiment. We are in the bear season by now and the good thing is that the market doesn't look worse as compared before, you actually be happy about this, isn't it?
Let's just be opened-minded instead, we don't need to suffer big losses and look at the market as terrible before we can say it was already bearish. We're not actually turning back to that scenario but to see the consistency of the market going down is already a sign.
